I have spent the majority of the last 3 years devoting myself to my client’s needs, frustrations, challenges and victories. I have trudged through the lows and floated on cloud nine during the highs. I have tossed and turned, flown tens of thousands of miles at the drop of a hat, felt fear in the [...]

What’s better than owning a beach house?

Friends who own a beach house! Thank you Sprussills for a weekend full of food, wine, political “back and forths”, afternoon cookies, morning coffee, girly movies, reading, rest and some much-needed deep breaths of fresh air.

When in the thick of a rough spell, it’s really nice to have something to look forward to. Thanks to the Trasks, there has been a lovely carrot dangled in front of me all week. Tomorrow Alec and I will drive to the beach for two days of eating, drinking, board games, movies, books, catching [...]

What better to do on a brisk and sunny Saturday morning than take a photogenic pup to the schoolyard for a game of fetch.
What a week…

I knew I’d hit a new low when my client said, “Amanda, you look like hell. Can you get some sleep tonight?” Granted, I had just taken a 6am flight from Pittsburgh and sat next to a woman who was horrendously sick the entire 5 hours in air. This week has been a really hard [...]
I’m ready for MY rescue package

Greetings from night two at the Great Wolf Lodge. I am still stranded with the worst to come; the river is supposed to crest at 10pm tonight and leave 10 feet of standing water on I-5. I am starting to accept the idea that I just might spend the rest of my life in room [...]

Here I sit on a Wednesday night at the Great Wolf Lodge and Waterpark, just north of quaint little Chehalis, WA. Washington has just been pounded with crazy weather this winter; if not snow and ice bringing the state to a standstill, it’s incredible amounts of rain and now flooding. I was diverted off I-5 [...]

Alec can find a second-hand record store in any corner of the world. Amazing.
Happy new year Minnesota style

Wishing everyone a very happy new year from lovely downtown Buffalo, MN. Although cold (about 11 degrees today), Minnesota has been really beautiful this week – lot’s of sun and not much wind. I saw my first frozen lake full of ice fishing huts, won $5 for spotting a Mini and soaked in the hot [...]
