Kansas City.

Jessica and I had the chance to take a sister + Sigge trip to KC this past weekend. Each day was spent exploring, eating and shopping our way through the area. We had the best time.
We wasted no time seeing the sights when we drove in on Saturday evening. Kansas City MO is such a neat city, lots to do. Here’s the view from the WW1 monument:

We stopped for wood fired pizzas before taking on the million steps it took to get up here :)
Sunday we went to the Country Club Plaza and had breakfast at the Oliver. YUMMMM. Then shopped the plaza until we found the Amigoni Urban Winery. After a few tastings we settled on the Syra Rosè and it was SO good. We found a spot (La Bodega) for tapas after and ended our night with a lap swim in my aunt and uncles pool. It was the dreamiest day. Everything about it. I did not want it to end. 




Monday, we went to Boulevard Brewery and did the tour, then went to Jax (SO GOOD) for some seafood. We flew back to msp Tuesday morning after seeing our cousin Emily and saying goodbye to grandma and Lynn and Brad. I needed this trip with every fiber of my being. Time with my sister was priceless, time to read a book and drink hot coffee was rejuvenating, and time away from Lucy and Olle was restful. I feel so lucky that I got to go.

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...
