I'm excited to share with you my adventures as I galavant around both near and far, exploring everyday adventures through my camera lens.
I have met several Minnesota natives who have never even been to Duluth, let alone see all of what the North Shore has to offer! So look no further friends. I’ve put together a list of what to pack, where we stayed and my favorite must-see things to do on your trip up north to take the guess work out of your travel planning!
I count myself very lucky to have been able to visit China, not once, but twice in the past few years. After having just returned home after spending a few weeks bouncing around China on a work trip, and I’ve prepared a list of 15 very important things you’ll want to do before you go!
I first heard about the plant sale a few years ago when a friend of mine casually posted about it on Facebook. We had just built our backyard garden bed and I was excited to start growing! 5 years later, the Friend’s School plant sale has become one of our household traditions.
If you’re planning a Key West vacation of your own, keep reading for some ideas of places to stay, where to eat and fun things you can do.
We had an excellent trip, and I want to share with you everything we did so you have an idea of what adventures you can find if you ever make a journey down to the Southernmost Point yourself!
The Game Changers exhibit is host to over 100 games, honestly most of them you’ve probably never heard of unless you are a next level nerd, (and I say that with the highest respect!) displays of amazing original concept art and some pretty amazing BTS (behind the scenes) info of how the world of game design works.
“More than 1200 years ago, two ancient cities were lost to natural disasters and the rising tides of the Mediterranean Sea. Two decades ago, underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team discovered those cities, revealing monumental statues, religious images carved in stone, exquisite jewelry, and delicate ceramics—and a greater understanding of life during the age of the pharaohs. Don’t miss this epic story of their discovery.”
In light of the recent Polar Vortex, and concerned messages from my Californian friends, I thought it would be relevant to share my knowledge on not only how to survive this winter, but some ways you can actually enjoy yourself too!
A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine told me about this amazingly bizarre, organic shop and music venue he went to in seemingly the middle-of nowhere, Minnesota. Naturally, my curiosity was sparked when he began to describe all of the quirks and wonders to be found inside this old General Store, like the ancient cash register, glass mason jars filled with goods and the music venue upstairs, and I knew I had to go check this place out for myself.
In 2018, I made it my resolution to address my anxieties head on. I’ve learned a TON and want to pass on these 19 tips and tricks to you, so that you can live your best life in 2019!
‘Tis the season for holiday markets, and we kicked things off by attending the American Swedish Institute’s Julmarknad.
With over 40 local artisans, traditional Swedish treats and events throughout the day, it’s one of my favorite Christmas markets!
Now that the weather has made a turn for long, cold and dark days, I find myself looking for adventures to be had indoors. So when our friends recommended spending an afternoon checking out the new Bell Museum, I eagerly accepted the invite.
If you’ve been wondering about microblading, or maybe you’re like, WTF even IS microblading?.. I’m here to give you all the down and dirty deets!
When we booked our anniversary trip to Seattle, I knew the one and only thing we had to do was hang out in a hot tub out in the middle of Lake Union with our best buds.
We recently spent 4 days exploring Olympic National Park along the coast of Washington. The park is absolutely breathtaking. You drove along highway 101, a winding road surrounded by mountains, ice cold lakes and pine trees larger than most of the buildings downtown.
Don’t get me wrong, I too enjoy the Minnesota State Fair. Hell, I even wrote my own post about it. But I must say, I much prefer the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Maybe it’s partially because you get to dress up as little or as a fully committed to Jon Snow as your little heart desires and no one bats an eye. Or maybe I just like all the yelling of “Hazzah!” as mead is poured into my wooden mug and actors frolic past in faerie wings throwing glitter in the air.
When you think of Minnesota, I doubt the first thought that comes to your mind is a crawfish boil. Typically our backyard parties consist of burgers, hotdogs and corn on the grill, like the rest of the Midwest.
But my friends, who are not to be stopped, decided they are going to break all of those stereotypes and refuse to be put into a box of food conformity. And let me tell you, I am here for it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a die-hard State Fair fan, but damn do I love drinking beer outside and eating food on a stick!
I should start with being honest. I've never done this before... This was my first attempt at syrup making. Before you immediately hit that little X and close this page, don't let that statement scare you away! If anything, you should be encouraged. If I, a complete and utter noob, can make this syrup, you can too. You'll probably be better at it, since I've already worked out the kinks for you!
You don’t need to grow your own ingredients from scratch to make pickles- that can just be 50 point to Gryffindor if you do. If you are purchasing your cucumbers, just make sure they are of a pickling variety if you plan to preserve them for more than a couple of weeks.
