Blog Roll


I had a long albeit fun packed weekend. The family and I had an amazing Indian Summer morning on Saturday walking along the Mississippi River and downtown Minneapolis. We had a lot of fun and the little lady was plum tuckered out by the time we made it back home. Sunday I co-hosted a baby shower for a dear friend of mine so the house was full of lady chatter and laughter. It was a great morning.

As I was sitting down last night to catch up on the final episode of Project Runway and read my blogs I thought that maybe the rest of you would like to know what I'm reading. So here is my first blog roll, blogs you may or may not of heard of, by people I've never met and in real life (IRL) friends but either way should check out!
  • Yes and Yes: My IRL friend Sarah Von has a fabulous blog about saying yes in your life and all things fun and inspiring. She is just as fun, interesting and amazing IRL it's no wonder her blog is so popular!
  • They Are So Cute When They Are Sleeping: Written by another IRL friend you may have caught my guest post over there a week or so ago. A true, no holds barred parenting blog Kate tells you like it is, with a dose of her insight and humor to go along with it.
  • The Pioneer Woman: A great mix of cooking, style, life and homeschooling this blog has it all. Ree is a funny, funny lady and takes stunning photographs of her life on the ranch. I plan on making these delicious bad boys tonight.
  • Already Pretty: Sal writes about style, body issues and all things related to image and the body. She is funny, insightful, inspiring and definitely has a knack for putting things together.
  • Smitten Kitchen: My hands down favorite blog to read is by NYC blogger Deb. She not only takes beautiful photographs of the food she creates but has a real talent for picking out recipes that I want to make. I've made many from her site and every.single.one has turned out fabulous. Don't know what to make for dinner tonight? Check her out!

I Did It!

Yep, that's right. I am a student again! A few weeks ago I started receiving emails from the Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) department at Hamline. They looked like mass emails about job openings and announcements. It was either a cruel joke or I had been admitted but not received my acceptance letter. After two days of emails and two days of trying not to get excited I finally called at 4:55 one afternoon (the office closes at 5). I told the woman on the phone that either Hamline was very good at playing cruel jokes on prospective students, or was I really admitted? She laughed and said, "Congratulations, you are a grad student." A grad student!? I'm a grad student! So I hurriedly filled out my FAFSA and got to worrying about how I was going to pay for it. Then Friday I got my Financial Aid info and sure enough, the government is more than happy for me to add onto my student loan debt. Now just to figure out how to reorganize my time to study, find a prog...

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Ha...

A Confession

First let me come clean.  I'm pregnant. Now, let the next thirty-one weeks commence where I talk of nothing else except my growing belly, appetite and need for Cheetos.  Not really, but I will say this; I'm tired.  So tired that normal everyday tasks that should only take me a few minutes suddenly sit around, unfinished, for days at a time.  Examples?  The dishwasher, the dirty dishes, groceries (the non-perishable ones, duh), folding the laundry, making the bed.  I mean, there are much better things to do, like, stuff handfuls of popcorn in my mouth while watching all the episodes of Angel, in order.  Don't judge me, I am returning to school in a few weeks; maybe this is just me trying desperately to channel myself as a Freshman in college?  Who the heck knows.  What I do know that my "golden time," or nap time as it is commonly called, was once used to clean, cook, tidy up, rest and blog.  Well, you know how much blogging I've done o...
