I used to have the hardest time remembering how to spell dessert. I’d find myself going to write it – and second-guessing about whether it had one “s” or two. One day, someone told me the most clever way to remember. Dessert has the double “s” because you always want seconds of dessert. And, since I’ve got dessert on the…
Happy Monday! I’m back in my office today – bright and early. One of the best things about a holiday is that other people are off too, so email doesn’t pile up like it might on a random day off. I hope that your Monday post-Thanksgiving is going well – or do you have the post-holiday blues? I’m torn. I’m…
Good morning and happy Tuesday. Because it’s a short week for me, I’ll be blogging today and tomorrow, but you won’t see me back on here until Monday. No Black Friday sales from me – because that isn’t really my focus, and you can find all that stuff on literally any social media site you use. Instead, I want to…
Happy Monday! It’s going to be a short work week, and I’m feeling thankful to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family later this week. Does anyone else like working on a holiday week? I do. The pace is a bit slower than normal, and since people tend to take off, email is slower and meetings get cancelled. It makes…
Happy Friday, friends. What a good week it’s been! I’m sitting here writing this – and I’m kind of shocked at how it’s almost Thanksgiving. I feel like November has just flown by. In the back of my head, I’m mentally building a list of allllll the things that I need to do to for the holidays (and trying not…

You can find last week’s recap here. First one on one date in Minnesota There is a one on one date right off the bat. Joe is the…
Happy Tuesday, Friends. I’m sharing a family recipe today. If you read yesterday’s post, you saw that Aaron and I headed to a Friendsgiving party this past weekend. Everyone was in charge of bringing one of their favorite side dishes. And, while my mom and dad have had some incredible Thanksgiving home runs over the years (my dad’s homemade stuffing,…
Happy Monday, friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was incredibly busy, but I’m officially in the holiday spirit thanks to a visit to the Nutcracker Market and a Friendsgiving. I’m starting my Monday off with the best holiday duo thanks to Nespresso’s peppermint pinwheel mixed with some peppermint mocha creamer. This week will be a fun week.…
Happy Friday! Anyone else struggle with the time change this week? I’ve got my hand raised. I’m a night owl regardless, but I’ve had a hard time this week shutting down my computer when it’s already dark out. I feel like my whole day is gone. To combat some of these time change blues, I’ve made it a habit to…
Happy Thursday – we’ve got a Friendsgiving coming up this weekend, and I’ll be making my Aunt Moosie’s mashed potatoes. I’ll make them this weekend and share the recipe later next week so you can have it in time for Turkey Day festivities. This got me to thinking that I want to share a couple of recipes that are perfect…
