This winter for some reason was a particularly long one for me. Spring had come and I was ready for a road trip – even a mini-one! Since it was my grandma’s 94th birthday in April, we decided to head up to Duluth to visit her and celebrate. And while we were up there, we […]
Behind the Boudoir Photo Shoot at Pixies Photography (My Amazing Experience!)
Yes, I did this. A boudoir photo shoot. Up until a few weeks ago, I’d say I had given a passing thought or two to doing a boudoir photo shoot, just for fun and for myself, especially after seeing one Groupon deal after another for local sessions. But I have never gotten close to actually […]
Our Incredible Family Staycation at Radisson Blu Mall of America
It happens every January. As the cold, icy weather sets up camp outside for a few months, and restless kid/cabin fever sets in at my house, my Facebook feed starts filling up with pictures of friends getting away to warmer places, with envy-worthy views of beaches, palm trees, tourist attractions, and of course, lots of smiling, […]

The Magic is Back – Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review
Yesterday I had the indescribable, humbling experience of sitting in a quiet theater to see a special advance screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 3 days before its release. I sat with fellow media personalities and representatives – from newspaper reporters and journalists to familiar faces we all know from TV and radio (like Jason […]
The Wizard of Oz at Children’s Theatre Company
My kids and I attended an opening weekend performance of The Wizard of Oz at the Children’s Theatre Company and were greatly impressed with the performances, the sets, the special effects and the natural flow of the whole production. With all the scene changes and effects we all know from the movie, the Children’s Theatre […]
