This year for Mother’s Day our first stop was the “Art in Bloom” installation at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis Minnesota. It was such a treat to see all of the gorgeous art and flowers. It was SO busy, and we had a difficult time finding parking, but ultimately it was worth it.…

For Valentine’s Day this year we opted for a cozy speakeasy in Stillwater Minnesota called Velveteen. It was a gorgeous way to spend a cold winter day. The atmosphere, service, and drinks were outstanding. We shared the three (very strong) cocktails shown above and it was perfect. “LOOK…FOLLOW THE RABBIT…LISTEN…ONCE YOU WALK INTO THE LOBBY…
This post is a combination of two times visiting the fabulous Hop Dish & Vine in picturesque Stockholm Wisconsin. To get there we only have to travel about a half hour on the Great River Road once we cross the bridge from Red Wing into Wisconsin, and it’s one of our favorite drives. The setting…

This sandwich was truly amazing and one of the first treats I enjoyed as a new vegan at last year’s Uptown Food Truck Festival! LOVE this sandwich, and I’m pretty sure you can order something similar at Herbivorous Butcher’s brick and mortar location. We adore Hola Arepa and make treks to the cities so we…
Hello, Friends! I’m finally sharing a blog post. Can ya believe it? After almost a month of silence. I think that’s a record for me.

My daughter, Grace, graduated from high school this month, we celebrated Mother’s Day, my birthday, and Father’s Day, I attended my grand girls’ school picnics, and we…
