New England
This August Taylor and I went to New England to visit my folks. It was her first time on an airplane since she was one and a half. Due to how young she was, she really doesn't remember it. Ever since Tay learned that we would be going to visit Papa and Grandma she has… Continue reading New England

Badger Youth Camp 2018
In July Taylor attended her first overnight camp without a family member being a chaperone. She was surrounded by children, away from home and was determined to cause trouble. This is something I always wanted to do when I was a kid. I dreamed of meeting my twin just like in the original Parent Trap… Continue reading Badger Youth Camp 2018
Snippets of Denver & Westminster
On my most recent trip out to Colorado I was able to arrive a day early! This was wonderful because I spent time with my brother and meandering about with my camera. I ended up doing more relaxing and living in the moment than taking pictures. Honestly the weather was beautiful (aside from one hour… Continue reading Snippets of Denver & Westminster
Point Beach State Forest
Camping is our families way of disconnecting from everyday life and reconnecting with each other. Recently we went to Point Beach State Forest, located right outside of Two Rivers, WI. Originally we were going to spend the weekend on Madeline Island, but due to recent storms and flooding we made the decision to go somewhere… Continue reading Point Beach State Forest

Magical Moments
This June while in Denver, I went to the Tattered Cover Bookstore on 16th Street. It ended up being my own piece of heaven here on earth. Something was different, special if you will. Something about the way the staff member each wrote a note and recommendations on some of the books. The worn and… Continue reading Magical Moments
Insignificant Significance
As the waves break against the shore, Lake Michigan reminds me of how small I am and how vast the world is. The sound overpowers everything else. I am unable to hear anything - even my own thoughts. That is what I love about nature. This is the escape I crave. As I sit and… Continue reading Insignificant Significance
Road Trippin’
Last weekend I drove 300 miles to Big Lake, Minnesota. I went to visit my dear friend Carrie. Since she moved to Minnesota I have only seen her when she comes to Madison. This has been eating at me. Part of the problem was that I had some serious health problems and after my recovery… Continue reading Road Trippin’
Celebrating one more year of survival
So it happened. I am now 32 years of age. Another year down and many more to go. This year my birthday was celebrated a little bit different from most years because I was traveling for work on my birthday. I was up at 4am (which is way too early for this girl) to catch… Continue reading Celebrating one more year of survival
Snowed In
A weekend away is a wonderful thing. Especially when you are visiting a dear friend and her wonderful family. It is even better when you get well over a foot of snow and have a good excuse to stay put and catch up. Between coffee, wine and kids there was plenty of entertainment. Paint, science… Continue reading Snowed In
Door County
Four years of marriage. Seven years of love. Feels like only a moment and forever at the same time. Nick and I decided to take a long weekend and getaway from the daily grind. Spending quality time with each other was our goal. We felt like the best way to do this was to leave… Continue reading Door County
Boston: Architecture
Here is my final post about Boston for 2017. I hope you have enjoyed the mini series. Wow. Just Wow. Boston has some gorgeous old buildings. I enjoyed seeing all of the wrought iron, cobblestone, bricks and detail work. The old lamp posts were pretty cute too. However, I was not a fan of walking… Continue reading Boston: Architecture

Boston: Salem
Yes, I know that Salem is not located in Boston. However, the series is titled Boston and this is about the time I spent in Salem while on the trip, so bear with me. I ended up going to Salem twice during my trip. The first time was in the evening and we didn't arrive… Continue reading Boston: Salem
Boston: The People
One thing I was really looking forward too while in Boston was hearing people talk in the stereotypical Boston accent. Silly I know, but I find it entertaining. I was quite disappointed to find that Boston has become such a melting pot that finding a true Bostonian accent is like finding a needle in a… Continue reading Boston: The People
Boston: Food
One thing that brings me so much pleasure is food. I LOVE trying different foods. When I travel I like to make sure I get a variety of things that I do not normally eat. So being from Wisconsin while I was in Massachusetts I wanted to enjoy a plethora of seafood. So that I… Continue reading Boston: Food
