I was responsible for treat day last week. I think all of my co-workers reminded me that it was my treat day. Everyone loves treat day. Everyone also knows that I’m absent minded. (Like when I almost left these delicious cupcakes in the fridge on treat day. Luckily, I ran back for a Diet Coke. P...

Most of our house attention has turned outdoors the past two weeks. The weather has been fantastic so it was time to do some planting. Nate and I both enjoy yard work.
We planted three hydrangea bushes and two Little Henry bushes along our garage.
We’re pretty scientific when it comes to landscape planning. We m...

The stool hunt continues. Sad face.
Remember this poll from last week.
If you couldn’t gather, I was the one that loved the stools. Nate hated them.
Even though Nate was the clear winner, he oh-so-willingly went with me to World Market while we were in Des Moines this past week-end. Just to say “hi” to the sto...

One of my favorite parts of blogging is interacting with all of you. It’s fun sharing knowledge (or lack there of).
Nate and I are currently planning two trips. We are going to Chicago for a long week-end with some dear friends of ours. We are also looking at heading to the Grand Canyon in August-ish.
Here’s...

I never used to like fancy food. Then Nate’s parents started taking us to fancy restaurants. And now I like fancy food. Darn those in-laws.
One of my favorite fancy foods is parmesan crusted steak. Nate and I whipped this up at home for his mom on Mother’s Day. And it was pretty much a...

***Don’t mind me selling my blog’s soul. Momma has home décor items to buy.***
First, I wanted to title this post "Stool Sample"... because it would be funny. Unfortunately it didn't really make sense. There is, however, a survey at the end. Rumor has it you all like surveys...me too!!!
Nate and I...
I Want to Go To Riu

I mentioned on Monday that Nate and I stayed at the Riu Guanacaste in Costa Rica.
The reviews on Trip Advisor for this resort are very….interesting. It must be one of those love or hate it kind of places. Also, the things some people complain about make me laugh.
Nate and I enjoyed our stay at the Riu. It’s n...

Warning. This post contains photos of monkeys. Super cute ones at that. Consider yourself warned.
Nate and I weren’t super adventurous travelers in Costa Rica. Weak, I know. We were more into getting a little R&R on this vacation. We did go on a half day “Jungle River Cruise.” It was a t...
Zip Lining in Costa Rica

I did it. I survived zip lining in Costa Rica. I originally thought it was Nate’s way of cashing in on my life insurance policy. Not so lucky this time dear husband.
Let me start with the fact that I am a very cautious person and I’m also afraid of heights. Two steps on a step ladder and I start to get...
