  • Marketed

    Yesterday I went somewhere really neat: the farmers market! The girl wanted me to experience a really big one so we went to Cedar Rapids. Our first mission when we got there was to find some breakfast food because we were hungry. We walked around looking for breakfast sandwiches and then we saw this food Read more

  • Discovered

    Yesterday was the 4th of July or Independence Day as some people call it, and I had a completely wild adventure after the girl got done taking pictures of a parade for her job. We met up with her friend and went to Big Grove Brewery but this time we went to a different one Read more

  • Traveled

    Last week the girl and I took a road trip to Michigan to see her family. I packed my suitcase with outfits and accessories for a week. On the day we left the girl had to work until noon, so when we made our first snack stop it was already lunchtime. I was super excited Read more

  • Transported

    The girl’s birthday was this weekend, and she said there were two things she needed to do to celebrate: go to Lake Michigan and eat fish and chips. Lake Michigan is 227 miles away from where we live, so we had to drive five hours to get there. We had to cross two state lines, Read more

  • Quad Citied

    Now I’ve turned an Iowa destination into a verb, how do you like that? Yesterday was absolutely wild. I visited two of the Quad Cities — the Iowa ones — and I think I saw more people in one afternoon than I’ve ever seen in my life. The girl’s friend came by in the morning, Read more

  • Gifted

    Yesterday was Memorial Day. After the girl got done taking pictures of flags and honor guards for her job, her friend picked us up and we took a walk to one of our favorite places — Big Grove Brewery. Our server, Anna, noticed me and asked about my work as a blogger. I shared my Read more

  • Celebrated

    This is me when I first wake up in the morning. Isn’t that funny? Here’s something else funny: the girl has hardly been home this week because she’s been working like mad and that has made her unhappy. But she really wanted me to have something new to wear for the weekend, so she tried Read more

  • Wowed

    This weekend I saw the second-longest river in North America — the Mississippi! I walked along it with the girl and her friend for about two miles. I saw a place where corn kernels and soybeans get loaded onto ships, and I saw tug boats pushing barges up and down the river. It was a Read more

  • Beached

    After a week of not doing much more than taking long walks and perusing cookbooks with Munch Munch, my weekend was off-the-charts exciting. I visited two new bakeries, walked on a sandy beach, and went inside a women’s restroom at a park. Those are just the highlights. On Friday night the girl came home from Read more

  • Delighted

    Yesterday the girl said it was time to expand my wardrobe, so we pretended her home office was an atelier and got out the fabrics and ribbons and extras that we purchased at Hobby Lobby. I chose the green fleece, and she got to work cutting and pinning and stitching. It started as a vest, Read more
