Dandelion Lotion Bars

Hello again! I’m back with the Dandelion Lotion Bar recipe that I mentioned in my last blog, the lip balm blog. (Also, did you try to make the lip balm? Do you love it!?) This is a super simple recipe (even easier than the lip balm, I think) and it doesn’t take long at all. …

Dandelion Lip Balm

Hey, there! I’m here with an update, and a recipe today. Way back in the winter, I took the word ‘calm’ and decided to make it my word for the year. So far, I’d give myself about a B- for my efforts. I have room to improve, but am happy with my efforts thus far….

Shots from the Shop

I know I said my next blog was going to be all about all the boring, but yet semi-interesting, things I’ve been accomplishing in my yard (with the kiddos)–but, alas, it snowed, and then was cold, and then rained (a lot), and then I got sick; so, that blog can wait. (I don’t feel like…

Spring is Here–At Least at the Shop

Wow, guys. This weather is fierce. I’m sitting on the couch tonight–as a fresh, four inches of snow, blankets the ground outside. (And, as my dog snores up a heckuva storm of his own, might I add.) Tomorrow’s weather is looking like a roller coaster of a day–bring on some rain, some sleet, some ice…

Photos from Work

Hello! I’m just swinging through the blog tonight to show off a bit of what this past weekend held for my camera, and I. I had a pretty basic weekend when it came to shooting–but a busy one in the way of editing up some past projects. (Which I’m still not totally done with.) I…

The Path is Never Easy

Some random person asked me the other day, ‘What do you do on your hikes? Pictures! Or just looking around?’ And, I really didn’t have an answer. I mean, I did, sorta–but, how to put it in words that didn’t make me sound totally crazy was a challenge. I summed it up, via a quick…

Updates and Links

Tonight finds me on the couch with a boatload of editing up on my laptop screen, and the Golden Girls streaming on the tv screen. The dog is curled up next to me, snoring away; and, through all of this awesomeness, I’ve recently decided that my eyes are a bit too tired to keep the…

Rick and Maggie are Married

Oh…I have some pretty stuff to share today. 🙂 This past weekend, you know–the one with the winter storm warning, and all the rain and then all the snow–well, in the middle of that whole mess, Rick and Maggie got married in a peaceful, bright, ceremony in Bloomington. The snow falling outside, made their evening…

Last Weekends Projects

As promised in my last blog–I’m back after my weekend of shooting. 🙂 (Also, it is SO nice to not be sick anymore. For lots of folks, the weekend is a time to relax–for me, it’s usually the only time of the week I’m out, by myself. It’s great to stretch myself creatively, and set…

Quick Update :: Minnesota Photographer

Hey! I’m just poppin’ in today to say hi. 🙂 I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve been around the blog, and, honestly, it kinda has. As you probably know, I work for a florist as their blogger, social media manager, website updater, and photographer–also, Valentine’s Day happened. So, my attention was…
