Calendar from Domestica, a very cool shop in Des Moines, Iowa
How do you feel about New Year’s Resolutions? During the last few years, I didn’t make resolutions; I made to-do lists. And I’ve kicked each one off on my birthday in April ever since my 30th year on God’s [...] Remember when I signed on to run the Living History Farms race in Iowa? Alas, it was not meant to be.

Maybe I’m fond of Arbor Day and its history because of my maternal side’s roots (ha, ha, get it?!) in Nebraska City, Nebraska, home of the beautiful Arbor Lodge [...] My apologies for the lack of thrifting, friends. I blame 1. me saving my pennies for a mountain bike instead 2. I haven’t had much luck thrifting anyway! have to say the Boulder thrift scene has been disappointing lately. Either too pricey or much too junky. Oh well. I don’t know about you but [...] image source The Kid and I are on spring break. We went to exotic Nebraska to see family and friends.
