If I had to sum up our July in only one photo… It was a record-setting month of travel for Bobby and me. Five weekends in a row of flying! Minnesota. D.C. Chicago. Kansas City. And for our last trip, Milwaukee for a family reunion. Mind you, this is only a fraction of the people […]

Delightful D.C., Day Two
Fourth of July in D.C. was great, but if possible day two was even more patriotic. We woke up bright and early – as in, 5:45 am – to get a jump start on what would prove to be one of the most jam-packed days of sightseeing we’ve ever had. If you read any of […]
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and doing all of the things you love most. Yesterday the original Korducki foursome tore up the golf course.

I don’t even know where to begin but I’ll warn you, this post will be a long one! Ragnar Del Sol was a thrilling, challenging, exciting, nerve-wracking and unbelievably fun 36 hours of my life. The entire experience practically blew by from when we drove to the starting line at 3:00 am Friday morning to […]

Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I’ve now learned that February 18 is National Wine Drinking Day. If you ask me, whoever created this holiday was just looking for an extra excuse to say “cheers,” to which I say…genius. What better day to share the last details of our girl’s trip to Napa?
