Dear Papa

Dear Papa... It's been a year. And oh what a year it has been. Not a single day in the last 365 days has gone by without me thinking about you. Thankfully I have a few reminders scattered throughout the house to help with that. I see your old, antique radio in the...

Monday Musings – Vol 32

Monday Musings – Vol 30

A bright, sunshine-y day here in western Iowa brings you Monday Musings - Vol 30! Last week Kyle and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary. In typical low-key fashion of course. An early dinner, a bottle of Chardonnay and LOTS of dessert. So basically all of my favorite...

Monday Musings – Vol 29

It's another Monday which means Monday Musings - Vol 29 is here! It's sort of sunny. So we're calling that a win! And last night I managed 7 whole hours of sleep. Because of that, I didn't feel the urge to pass out at 1pm. YAY! And yet another win is that Kyle and I...
