Friday Five: My Current Favorites for Surviving Winter

February 8, 2019 By Holly Leave a Comment

It’s another wild weather day here in Minneapolis. After surviving the historic Polar Vortex of 2019 last week, it rained on Super Bowl Sunday, and we’ve since had two significant snow events. In other words, I’m a little over this winter business right now. Typically we try and escape the balmy midwest this time of year for a tropical destination. We are not traveling until later this winter so I’ve had to lean on a few little creature comforts and favorite things to get me through the dreary days! This week’s Friday Five is all about My Current Favorites for Surviving Winter.

Whew! It’s been a busy one around here and I am so glad that it’s Friday (despite the fact that I’m working all weekend – sigh).

Friday Five: Life Hacks

November 9, 2018 By Lane 12 Comments

I wear many different shoes throughout a day. I’m a mom, wife, daughter, full time physician, and food blogger all of which translates into a crazy, BUSY life. I’m willing to bet y’all are facing similar challenges. Feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day? Me too! Feel like you’re barely hanging on sometimes? I hear you loud and clear! Chaos abound in your house? Yep, mine too! So this Friday Five, let’s talk about making our lives just a little bit easier. Commit to taking the next 5 minutes for yourself, grab a cup of coffee (or glass of wine, no judgement here) and let’s see if we can help. I’m going to share a few of my favorite life hacks and hopefully you’ll be willing to share yours as well!

October 19, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

It’s been a crazy, but fun, few weeks around here. Lane has been jaunting around Europe on an amazing anniversary trip (Happy Anniversary, L&J!) and I’ve been blending work with a fun little get away of my own (more on that later).

GFR: A Cozy Friday Five

September 21, 2018 By Holly Leave a Comment

Hey Friends! It seems overnight, the cold arrived in Minnesota. I celebrated my birthday this past weekend with a string of gorgeous (and hot!) 90 degree days. It felt like summer’s last big hurrah and we soaked it up. Monday afternoon, the storms rolled in and so did the cool weather. While I’ve been looking forward to some crisper fall evenings, I can’t say I’m loving this chilly, damp, rainy business. Since I’m also trying to cultivate a daily gratitude practice, I figured I would make the focus for this week’s Friday Five all about my favorite cozy things. …
