“Even if you don’t normally get seasick, it’s a good idea to take a Dramamine today”, the voice over the loudspeaker announced. The waves were averaging between 3-6 feet, which means some waves have the potential to be much larger. We were in for a bumpy...
The snow was pelting my eyes. Shielding my face, I struggled to see and attempted to make it down the hill upright. I wasn’t crying, but that didn’t stop the tears from streaming down my face and creating a thin layer of ice on my...
I drink coffee every day, but I rarely think about where it comes from and what I’m actually putting into my body. That’s something we’ve been trying to change lately—we have been making an effort to learn where the products we buy and foods we...
It was a mild winter day by Minnesota standards--the temperature was hovering around 10°F and we were itching to get out on the slopes for the first skiing session of the season. Plus, it was Micah's birthday, so we had to get out and go...
There was finally enough snow on the ground to break in our brand new snowshoes. So, we packed up the car and made our way to one of the best places to snowshoe in Minnesota: the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The arboretum is home to 16 miles...

Puerto Rico has intrigued me for quite some time, but for one reason or another, I had yet to visit the island paradise that is so easily accessible from the United States. Micah was in Puerto Rico for a work project a few years ago,...

Snorkeling at a mall, you say? Yes, you read that right. We went snorkeling at the Mall of America in the SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium, and it was quite the adventure. It had been years since we were last at the aquarium, but we were...
