It starts with a glass. It ends with a baby.
My biggest worry about this new baby has to do with how my three-year-old is going to take it (although the closer I get to my due date, the higher labor ranks on the list!). I want her to love this new baby, and I don’t want her to feel replaced. I’d like to [Read On]
I recently purchased “The Pioneer Woman Cooks” to have something to read while I waited to pick Connor up from school. Or it may have been because I didn’t have any cash in my wallet and I didn’t want to pull out my check card for one doughnut. After today’s experiences, I’m beginning to think [Read On]
I belong to three monthly book clubs. Three. My love for reading and discussing great literature knows no bounds except that of my life. I don’t get to read everything I want in the time frame in which I want. I’m one of those few people who can speed read and still retain everything – [Read On]
The coolest bookstore in the world is located in downtown Rochester, Minn. You’ll agree with me as soon as you step inside.

Our mouths [Read On]
Leslie Marmon Silko on YouTube What I have always loved about the city is the opportunities to see amazing theatrical performances, hear live music and listen to talented authors. We certainly got talent in Cambridge, but there’s a lot more of it in the Twin Cities. Recently I had the opportunity to hear Leslie [Read On]

I’ve never been the kind of girl who dreamed about getting married in a church. No, a blue sky held more allure than vaulted ceilings. A carefree ceremony called to me more than a regimented order of processional, vows, rings, unity candle and recessional. An intimate gathering held more meaning than a large, lavish [Read On]
Jaunt down to New Ulm, Minn. this summer. You won’t be disappointed. There’s a ton of stuff to do. (This is the fourth and final post in a series.) WANDA GAG HOUSE Ever read “Millions of Cats” as a child? I read it to my daughter because she loves cats as much as I [Read On]
Here are the things I recommend: • Healing Body Butter by Olsen Naturals, $15 http://www.olsennaturals.com/catalog/i27.html I stumbled upon this stuff in the first few months of my pregnancy while browsing through the Mill City Farmer’s Market. I’ve used it for a million things. It is fantastic! It kept stretch marks at bay; I applied it [Read On]
When we moved into our new house, my bookshelves didn’t work like they had in the old house. The one that had been custom-made for our upstairs hallway only fit on one wall in my daughter’s room. That meant I had roughly 100 books without a home. That simply wouldn’t do. But I wasn’t [Read On]
