For one last summer trip I took the kids to Minnesota to visit my family over Labor Day weekend. We really squeezed it in and made the most of it. Alex wasn’t able to join us, as he took way too much time off for our crazy summer of travel and needed to catch up …

Girls Weekend!
For the first time since Ben was born {let’s be real, I think it was since Sarah’s bachelorette party FIVE years ago!} I took off for a girls trip. I met my girlfriends from high school back in Minnesota for a weekend up north to catch up and enjoy some girl time. My weekend away …
Midwest Tour
Our last big trip of the summer is now behind us. We just returned home from a whirlwind 12-day trip to the Midwest {and Mexico for Alex!}. We covered a lot of ground, including my hometown and family cabin, Alex’s family’s lake home, his parents home and Chicago. It was really nice to spend time …
Ben + Mama Trip to Minnesota
Ben and I embarked on a trip to Minnesota just the two of us to visit friends and family. It’s hard living so far away and managing to make time for everyone back in my homeland, but I knew it was time to make the trek. I knew the trip would be hard but I …
Minnesota Trip

Cam + Adam’s Wedding
Alex and I were recently in Minnesota attending my good friend from high school, Cammy, and her now husband’s wedding. Their wedding took place in White Bear Lake on July 12th. My apologies in advance… I hardly took any photos! The original plan was for an outdoor ceremony at Matoska Park right on White Bear …
A Weekend in Minnesota
On our way back from our recent trip to Europe, Alex and I made a pit stop in Minnesota to spend some time with my family, celebrate my dad’s big birthday and to attend my good friend’s wedding. As we always do when we go back to our respective hometowns, we had a jam-packed schedule. …
North Shore Road Trip
While in Minnesota, Alex and I decided to break away and take a few days to ourselves. Alex had never been to the North Shore so we took a gamble in hopes that the leaves would be at their peak color while we were visiting and made a road trip out of seeing the leaves …
