If I Didn’t Instagram it, Did it Even Happen?
A few weeks ago we went camping. In a tent. On a Wednesday. Yes, I went willingly – I even suggested it and got everything ready for it! No, I’m not kidding ( seriously mom, I wanted to do this) After my family went to bed I sat – staring at the fire- waiting for it to dwindle down. Watching the flames dance rainbow colors along the logs ( Thank you copper + Rubber tubes) and I had a strong, demanding urge to share a…

RAGBRAI 2015 Slip and Slide DIY
Can you believe it is the end of July already? It seems like this summer is flying by! But the good news is that with the end of July also comes RAGBRAI week. Now if you have been reading my column all year, you may remember that one of my goals this year was to ride RAGBRAI again. But since I am 20 weeks pregnant, that is NOT going to be happening.
