Sittin’ on the Dock of the --- Lake
Although the next line in the song says you will be “wasting time,” that’s not true when you visit Minnesota. Contrary to popular belief, there are no igloos and it doesn’t always snow. Another falsehood is that Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 lakes. I am here to tell you that that is an understatement! Truth is, Minnesota has 21,871 lakes that are 2.5 acres or more. When we moved here in 2014, I had no idea that there were so many lakes with clean, beautiful water. I didn’t think that anywhere could compete with my California memories! -
Time Apart Can't Break Up True Friends
Friends just...get it. We know there are times that we can't be there physically for each other. As true friends we know that a couple of days (or even weeks) without talking won't break us. If you are truly friends, you don't have to say a thing! True friends could be apart for a year and the minute they reunite, they can pick up right where they left off without missing a single beat. That's true friendship! -
Brew up a Cup of Bulletproof Coffee
Over the last 30 years, I’ve either been travelling to, or living in, the great state of Minnesota. During that time, I’ve learned that it has a huge Scandanvian influence. In fact, my mother-in-law, Miggie, was 100% Swedish. One of the things she was notorious for was creating something out of nothing. She explained that growing up on a farm during The Depression had that effect on people. -
Friendship Holds the World Together
Could you imagine a world without friends? Imagine the negativity. People only fighting for themselves. No one to turn to. No one to help you. What a terrible world that would be. Be grateful for your friends. Be thankful to have someone who cares for you, listens to you, and loves you! -
Explore Florida's Beautiful Anna Maria Island
Now, this location is not as well known as Key West, Marco Island, or Palm Beach, but Anna Maria Island has some incredible places to stay and things to do. South of Clearwater and St. Pete Beach, it’s the ideal place to watch a beautiful sunset every night from your hotel room, the beach, or even on an evening cruise alongside dolphins and manatees. -
Friendship is Like Medicine
Friendship is the best therapy. How many times have you felt down and the first thing you do is text or call your best friends? How many times have you been so excited about something that you can't wait to tell your best friend? They say laughter is the best medicine, but friendship works wonders for the heart!

Juice Up Your Day...And Your Evening!
It wasn’t until I became pregnant with Lex that I forced myself to eat fruits and vegetables. But as you read on Monday, that has all changed. Because of my love for juicing, they have become a staple in my morning routine. -
Friends Will Always Push You Forward
Friends should always want you to do the best that you can do. A true friend would never hold you back from your hopes and dreams. Instead, a true friend will help you, guide you, and push you! -
Juicing to Stay on Top of Your Health
Since contracting Lyme disease 21 years ago, I have been desperately trying to find ways to be as healthy as I can be. I’ve learned that I can buy a lot of things in this life, but health is not one of them. The good news is that I can buy some things that can help me get healthier, and a juicer is one of those things. -
Prepare Some Colorado Peaches Two Ways
The Grand Valley’s hot days and cool nights are perfect for growing some of the best peaches in the world. Harvested in the fall, the temperatures bring out the natural sugars, making them sweet and loaded with chin-dripping juice -
Friendship is a Responsibility
Being friends is not an opportunity. We don't find ourselves in friendships because we were given the luxury of simply having a friend. Friendship is a responsibility. To have a friend we must BE a friend. You cannot expect friends to be a part of your life simply just to be there. Friends want love back. Friends want us there. As a friend, you have a responsibility! -
Pour Up This Colorado Bulldog Cocktail
Ever had a Colorado Bulldog? It’s like a White Russian, but the Bulldog is finished off with equal amounts of cream and cola, instead of just cream. The cola adds a nice flavor, and makes a creamy drink a little less creamy. Give it a try!
