Where The Ideas Roam
Hiking in the Clouds
In Jungfrau region, we hiked three big hikes. The first two days were sunny and beautiful weather, but the rest of the time here was pretty cloudy and rainy. I was grateful that we had the two days to see most of the mountains and made the best of the weather. Some days it was…
Homebase in Wengen (5 days)
As you can see from this map above, it is INSANE to look at all the different routes and hikes that are accessible up in the mountains all reached by cable cars, trains, funiculars, etc. If you look at the map closely in the middle, we stayed in the town of Wengen. This small village…
Love in Switzerland
Recently, my husband and I celebrated our 20th year anniversary in Switzerland. We had been planning this two week trip together for almost two years, just us, hiking in the mountains to celebrate. I knew this trip would be absolutely amazing, but it really far exceeded my expectations to blowing me away! Nothing compares to…
F**K Cancer Run
My beautiful and strong step-mom passed away last weekend from cancer and one of the ways we would like to honor her fight against cancer is to organize a F**K Cancer Run/Walk! My step-sister and I will be running a half marathon together starting at Minnehaha Falls on Saturday, June 12th. You may join us…

Closed For the Season
Every. Single. Day. We were out playing hockey on our pond. COVID opened some new doors for us to spend more time together as a family and especially out on our pond. Yes, the shoveling the snow constantly and flooding the rink was a lot of work, but so worth it to see the boys…
The Cat Napping Godfather
We call our youngest, more spirited child, Levi The Godfather. Why, you ask?! Well, he takes on the second child duty very seriously and when he demands something, he demands it. Can any of you relate with your second child?! Ever since he was born, he’s been LOUD. When he wants something, he wants it…
Whole30 Challenge Accepted
I have NEVER done a diet in my life. They didn’t really interest me. I feel like I’ve always been a pretty healthy eater. There was that time though when I wanted to become a vegetarian just because. Then my parents made steak that night. I’m from Nebraska so I realized that it was in…
