Sopapilla Cheesecake.



It has been a whirl-wind of a week! I can't believe July is over and August is here. Summer is flying by.
Last weekend Lauren and Elin came to visit. We had so much fun! Despite the below average temperatures we still managed to visit: The Menomonie County Fair....
 The Cottage Winery.....
and go out to a few local hotspots to eat. On Saturday night, Sten's Grandma, Aunt and "Brave Uncle Dave" (Elin gave him that name) came over.
 It was so awesome to visit with them! Sten grilled and I made Sopapilla Cheesecake. This recipe came from my sister- and we were so in love with it that I had to post it. I hope you enjoy!
Sopapilla Cheesecake:
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (I used light), softened
1 C white sugar
1 tsp Mexican vanilla
2 (8oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
___
1/2 C white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 C butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350, Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray
Beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth
Unroll the cans of crescent rolls and use a rolling pin to make (2) 9x13 rectangles. Press one on the bottom of the baking dish. Top with the cream cheese mixture, then the remaining crescent roll dough.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture and dot the mix over the top of the cheese cake.
Bake 30 mins.
Drizzle with honey if desired
Cool completely before cutting into squares.

This recipe is SO easy and really tasty!

Monday -Wednesday Sten and I were up on the North Shore on a camping trip with the youth group. It was so fun to be away and hang out with the students and the leaders. We hiked, swam, ate camp food and slept in tents- wish I was still there!
I am feeling great and getting more and more excited to meet our little girl in *hopefully* 8 weeks :) We have been working hard on getting the nursery ready and last week we painted her room... our newest addition was a dresser AND a glider!
I bought this dresser at a thrift store in town and put a fresh coat of paint on it. I love the way it turned out. I already filled it up with all the pink little outfits we've been gifted and it just makes this whole process that much more fun!

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
