You can check out this link if you’re curious to learn a fun history fact related to the post title. 🙂 Bobby parent’s were in town this past weekend, and they must have brought good luck with them from Minnesota because all of my falling backward dreams came true. Northwestern beat Nebraska, the Packers went […]

Happy Birthday, Mama Bender!
Someone is turning 25 today… Okay, maybe not 25, but she sure does dance like it. 🙂 The incredible Mama Bender is celebrating her birthday today. I wish I could be there to sing and make a grass-fed meal in person, but look forward to doing just that when we come for Thanksgiving a few […]
Falling Backward: To Be Or Not To Be Productive?
Thank you for the support and kind comments on the DreamChamps launch! We may be falling backward this weekend, but there are many things to look forward to with the extra hour.

I think a lot of my love for the book stems […]

There were a number of baked possibilities to choose from – pie, crisp, donuts and tarts come to mind first – but after perusing […]
In The Circle, On The Square
Thank you all for the anniversary wishes! Reading them made the day even more special. 🙂 During our drive to the Grand Canyon, we made a pit stop in Flagstaff for lunch. Neither of us had ever been to the city, but having heard good things (it’s one of the most walkable cities, for starters) […]
October 16, 2011: A “Grand” First Year
One year ago today… …was the best day of my life. 🙂 It’s hard to believe that today is our first anniversary. In many ways, October 16, 2010 feels like ages ago, but I can also remember every detail like it was yesterday. Bobby and I celebrated our anniversary weekend in “grand” Arizona style. We […]
