We live outside the city because of views like this from our backyard. We see trees, not houses, we have a large yard for our daughter to run around in, and we have the ability to look up at night and see stars. It is quiet, it is spacious, and it is beautiful.

Increasing my handyman skills one project at a time.
I’ll admit it, I’m not the most handy person. I like to think I am, but quite a few things are over my head, or I just haven’t tried them yet. However, I’ve been able to add a few new things to my handyman list. When we moved into our new house, the first thing we […]
Welcome Back Amazon Affiliate Money
I was pretty bummed out when Amazon closed all the Minnesota affiliate accounts last year. I didn’t make a lot of Amazon, but $10 here, $10 there adds up and gave me a bit of spending money. Starting today, I’m back in the game! On October 1st, Amazon started collecting Minnesota sales tax. Since this […]
Happy 5th Birthday Lily!
5 years ago we welcomed Lily into our life. Now, in what seemed like a blink of an eye, she’s turning 5. Everyone says that time flies, but until you have a little one, you don’t realize how fast. We’re about to start kindergarten in a few weeks and it seems like just the other […]

April Fools? NO!
I’m all for a good prank, but I’m not a fan of April Fools day. Most of the pranks aren’t funny, some are just mean, and they are all forced upon us whether we want them or not. It could be a long crabby day.
Working out in only 7 minutes a day.
I don’t exercise and I’m not in shape. I’ve tried going to the gym before, but it doesn’t last. I even joined the push-up club at work; well for a few weeks. However, now I’m trying the 7 minute workout. If you haven’t heard of it, the exercise program is 12 different exercises that work […]
Super Bowl Sports Ball
A conversation with a Twitter friend over who’s going to win the Super Bowl when neither of us know who’s playing.
Our Day at Nickelodeon Universe.
Today I took the day off and Christi and I took Lily to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America to have some fun. We had unlimited ride wristbands and we were taking advantage of the day. Lily loved the rides. We went on quite a few junior rides as she is only 4, but […]
Finally. A site re-design.
I’ve been meaning to re-design my site for some time now but it just hasn’t happened. However, that ends today. I’ve re-launched with a whole new theme thanks to Alexander Agnarson. What? You installed a theme?! I thought you were a WordPress developer! It’s true, this is the first time I’ve ever gone with a […]
