Book Review | Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
I’ve always been a huge fan of Alice Feeney novels. I think my favorite so far would be Daisy Darker. If you haven’t read it, go read it. Prepare to be amazed! Daisy Darker was one of the rare books that I’d probably reread if I had nothing new to read. I’ve yet to reread…

a little reminder in life
I think one of the most important things to remember in life is that you cannot force change on anyone. You cannot force their eyes to see what you see. You cannot force their heart to love with the capacity your heart can love. You cannot force their mouth to speak the words you wish…

Marquette, Michigan Adventure
I just returned from a short journey which included a stop in Duluth, two nights in Marquette, two nights at my moms in Minnesota, then back home. In a total of six days. In the past 3 weeks, I have spent roughly 70 hours driving. That does not include driving around at the destinations. It’s…

Part One Photo Journal of Michigan Journey
The 2024 Michigan trip is underway! The kids and I hit the road Saturday morning for the first leg of our journey, stopping at my moms for a couple nights. I did my regular stop in Minot for coffee and we got our chick fil a in Fargo! The drive went incredibly well. I think…

Weekend Trip to Ogden, Utah
We took a quick short and sweet trip down to Ogden, Utah over the weekend, and it was so gorgeous! Just as pretty as I remembered from driving through there years ago when we went to Disneyland. I always wanted to return to see more of it, and this trip was a start to fulfilling…

Naples with the Girls Photo Journal
The four day, five night trip to Naples with my sisters and mom was the thing I needed that I never knew I needed so much. I did not want to come back. My sister and I were debating just staying there and sending for the kids! I’m pretty sure I’m meant to live in…

One Day at Disney World
After spending one full day at Disney World, I determined I could probably only handle one day at Disney World. I cannot even count the amount of times I thought, “this would be so hard with all the kids along!” We brought the kids to Disneyland five years ago when there was only four kids,…

St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, and Fort DeSoto, Florida
A couple days before Easter, we packed up and headed to Minnesota a day earlier than planned, to beat yet another spring winter storm. Saturday was spent running last minute errands for the trip, getting one last tanning bed session in (I didn’t want to burn this trip, but I did anyway) and preparing things…

Sunday Reflections
I spend a decent amount of time here and there reflecting on the past and the future. I think it’s a healthy practice to do, when it’s done in a healthy frame of mind. You can’t pretend things haven’t happened in life or shut out thoughts you don’t want to think about. Reflecting on the…

The Haunted Hotel Alex Johnson | Rapid City, South Dakota
If there’s one thing I can really get down with in winter, it’s impromptu trips with hopes of warmer weather. I had been checking the weather forecast whilst feeling the need to get out of town and scouted out some mid sixties in South Dakota. At the end of January! It’s been years since we’ve…
