Destinations: Duluth, MN

When most people think of going on vacation, Minnesota is not even at the forefront of their minds. Minnesota is a very underrated state though, and having been a lifelong resident, I didn’t always appreciate all it had to offer either.

For the Love of Dinosaurs

I loved Mrs. Confetti’s post about maximizing opportunities regarding your child’s obsessions and how to develop and enjoy that love of theirs with them. At the time, I started thinking then about what my toddler’s obsession is. J doesn’t have obsessions, but he has things that it is very apparent he loves, and a little […]
