Winter Baking for Warmth

When it's -10 with a -26 degree wind chill, baking is essential! The kitchen is warm & toasty now! 

Date Night!

 We had so much fun on a mini "staycation" in our little town of Northfield!

Back to Natural

I've been noticing a lot of white, silver, and gray in my hair recently, so I asked my stylist at Family Hair how I could "go gray gracefully."  She recommended I get my hair back to its natural color, with highlights to blend in the gray as it grows.  I love it!  Eric took a pic when I was in the mudroom after my appointment.

Winter Workland

 We've had a fairly white winter so far. Good thing we have lots of muscle to chip ice and move snow!

Poetry Blog

If anyone is making a New Year's resolution to read more, I have something new for you!  I just started a poetry blog!  The poems are contemporary, so most of them don't rhyme (except for the sonnets).  I have 12 of my best poems over the past year on the blog, ready to go.  I'd appreciate any and all feedback!

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

Becca's Theater Convention

Becca is up early today! She's packing for a week-long trip to a theater convention in Iowa through her college. We'll miss her, but we know she'll have fun! 😃💓

Wisconsin Dells!

We had a blast at Wisconsin Dells!  The action pics are a little blurry, but I think they depict the spirit of our adventure. :-D
