Prior to an unsettling event last week that caught me completely off-guard, I had the opportunity to take advantage of yet another great past-time in my neck of the woods—berry picking. The wild blueberries in Bayfield County are bountiful this summer. And, thanks to having a husband who spends most of his time driving the…… Continue reading Berry Picking, Bare Feet, and Three Strange Men in an Ambulance

Pickles and Moms: The two have more in common than you think
The stringent smell of boiling vinegar makes me want to gag. Growing up, it was an annual tradition in our house signaling the end of summer and the start to canning season. I loathed it. I loathed the smell, the humid stagnant kitchen air, and the realization that my carefree, responsibility free life and escapades…… Continue reading Pickles and Moms: The two have more in common than you think
Dining at the Delta Diner
Reason #568 I love living where I live – the Delta Diner. I first dined at this hidden gem after a winter hike several years ago. The buzz about this diner in the middle of nowhere had been building and I knew I just had to make the trip to Delta to check it out.…… Continue reading Dining at the Delta Diner
Surprise! My Journey to Motherhood…
My life in 90 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgVZXD2WYyE&feature=youtu.be This is in fact one of the worst kept secrets of all-time for me. I guess it isn’t so much that it is a secret but rather an odd thing to share beyond my close circle of friends and colleagues who need to know from a planning standpoint. However,…… Continue reading Surprise! My Journey to Motherhood…
Spring Thaw – Lost Creek Falls
I remember it like yesterday. It was spring, 2005 and I had just met this odd duck online named Steve. After dining over Chinese food and cheap beer we determined we liked each other enough to hang out again. Since it was spring thaw and Steve claimed to be an outdoorsman/forester, he suggested we hike…… Continue reading Spring Thaw – Lost Creek Falls
2013: The Year of 10%
In order to continue my success with New Year’s Resolutions, I’m once again aiming low. I’ve decided 2013 will be the year of 10%. No, that is not a typo. Not 100% but instead, 10%. 10 percent doesn’t seem like much. But, think about it for a minute. By default, my goal is simple. But…… Continue reading 2013: The Year of 10%
2012: The year of not quite…
2012 proved to be a challenging, yet inspiring year. At the close of last year, I resolved to a year of mediocrity. I didn’t set this goal as some sort of self-deprecating, please feel sorry for me. Instead, it was my wish to set forth and try things I knew would be tough. Things I…… Continue reading 2012: The year of not quite…
This is what happiness looks like…
Happiness comes in many forms. For some gals, it involves diamonds, new shoes or designer cars. For me, it is a tractor. I’ve always wanted a tractor in part because it represents to me a simpler life. (And, because what Tomboy doesn’t dream of owning her own green and gold pride). This past weekend I…… Continue reading This is what happiness looks like…
Today I’m thankful for
Today I’m thankful for the simple thing in life. I’m thankful for my husband who brings me tea when I’m not feeling well because that’s what husbands that care do. He’d do this everyday if needed, which is just one of many reasons I love him. I’m thankful for my family that loves me for…… Continue reading Today I’m thankful for
Eyebrows + Potty Talk + High School Yearbooks = Transformative Weekend?
My last post I mentioned being the lucky winner of a 250-word essay contest for an all-inclusive Girl’s Gone North weekend. The weekend was focused around women reconnecting with friends and finding their inner cool factor without the added stress of men being around. My weekend ultimately involved throwing a group of women together who…… Continue reading Eyebrows + Potty Talk + High School Yearbooks = Transformative Weekend?
