I’ve been a Shutterfly customer for at least the last seven years now. I remember when I used to upload all of my pictures from my camera to my desktop computer and then onto my Shutterfly account. It’s gotten a lot easier over the years with the addition of their mobile app, which recognizes new photosRead more
Last fall, I told myself to take more days off from work during my favorite way too short season of FALL! Yesterday, on a random Monday, that’s exactly what my family did. My husband and I took off of work, we pulled Evie out of daycare, and enjoyed the perfect fall day togetherRead more
Well, actually to “Gigi’s” house we go as Evelyn lovingly refers to my my mother-in-law. My mom (aka Grandma), Evie and I all headed up north Wisconsin to visit Gigi for a girls weekend in Door County. Three generations of women gathering together to enjoy a weekend of exploring, sightseeing and eating good food. My husband wasRead more
In honor of National Ice Cream Month and in remembrance of Evelyn’s Grandpa Denny, we threw ourselves an ice cream celebration out on our front porch. My family is a little obsessed with ice cream, okay, A LOT obsessed! It’s one of our favorite summertime treats and with good reason. Living in the dairy state of Wisconsin, it’sRead more
Last week, I had the privilege of standing up in my brother Zack’s wedding. I absolutely love weddings! It’s an excuse to get all dressed up, put on a pair of heels (which I never do!), and dance the night away with my hubby. It’s the perfect date. And besides being a fun party, weddingsRead more

I started my month long sabbatical from work this past weekend. Soon we’ll be vacationing in Costa Rica and I have a million things to do! Laundry, shopping, cleaning, organizing, packing, etc. You know how it goes. My most anticipated part about this sabbatical is getting to spend my days with Evelyn instead of theRead more
As a working mom it can be challenging coming up with recipe ideas, remembering all of the ingredients at the grocery store, and then simply getting dinner on the table with kids running around wanting your full attention after not seeing you for the day. My husband and I were running into a rut with mealsRead more
It feels like we are coming upon our last few snow days in Wisconsin. That could just be wishful thinking, but it has really warmed up lately and most of the beautiful snow we played in is now melting away. Point in case that winter is almost over, we had a very hard time findingRead more
Breakfast on the weekends is a pretty big deal in our household. Not that we plan it this way, but it seems my husband and I take turns cooking and choosing the menu. I think he usually ends up cooking breakfast more often than I do, but for the most part cooking is a jointRead more
