I spent last Saturday fulfilling a few items on my Minneapolis Summer Bucket List. I checked three items off my list in one day- not too shabby! After a morning run with Matilda and my friend Kelly, Dustin and I packed up the Volvo to head to Taylors Falls. It was over an hour drive, but it went by quickly, as we passed through a couple of cute little towns. We arrived at Taylors Falls, i.e. Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: The Start of a Lovely Long Weekend…
Happy Saturday! I usually do my weekly recap on Sunday, but I had a little time today to check in with you guys. It's an absolutely beautiful day here, so we're heading to Taylors Falls in an hour to check a few items off of my Summer Bucket List - hiking at the park there, the Franconia Sculpture Garden, and maybe a drive-in! Have you read my list? Let me know what I missed- I already know Continue Reading

I have seen a few "Summer Bucket Lists" floating around the internet lately, so I thought I would share one of my own.

It is specific to the Minneapolis area, but hopefully any non-local readers will enjoy it Continue Reading
Weekend Review: Art-a-Whirl and Lots of Sunshine.

We had to get our run in early, as we had volunteered to host the support Continue Reading

Hi all, how's your Friday night going? We are just chilling at home and catching up on some TV. Not sure if you've noticed, but I haven't written much in terms of weekly recaps, but that's because I haven't really been working out that much. I'd like to say that I'm still recovering- both physically and mentally, but I have really just been lazy. However, I think I deserve a little laziness for Continue Reading
Fresh New Fit: Warby Parker!
Have you guys heard about Warby Parker? Warby Parker is a fresh new fit in the optical and sunglasses business! Let me tell you a story...I grew up wearing glasses- ugly glasses too. I think my first pair of glasses was in 2nd grade, and they were super thick. Then I had a few pairs with a "safety bar" as we lovingly called it across the top, (see below picture of Dustin with said safety Continue Reading
