Well hello there folks! Sorry I’ve completely neglected you all of late… We in the Dahlin household have had a very busy schedule in addition to the various life changes we have had recently as well as some major life changes of late.  I just wanted to take some time to update you guys on what’s been going on before we jump back into the swing of things :).  I’m going way back to my last post in February (I… Read more »

Hey folks! Long time no see…So much has been going on!  Work has been absolute crazy town, I had Bronchitis for 2 weeks, and have been getting ready to leave for vacation (3 more days!!) I have all kinds of fun crafts coming up here for you guys but I figured I’d start us out with these adorable, super easy to make, wrap bracelets. Now, for those of you who don’t know me too well, I’m a TOTAL wrist candy… Read more »

Happy Monday! We in the Dahlin household had the laziest of lazy Sunday’s yesterday.  We slept in until about 1 (didn’t actually get out of bed until 1:45), ran to the grocery store to get supplies for breakfast, ate breakfast (it may or may not have been 3:45 when we ate) took a 4 hour nap, woke up at 9:30 made grilled cheese and tomato soup, showered, and went back to bed.  Seriously…laziest Sunday ever.  So, the mister is a… Read more »

Hi guys! I am probably the happiest camper in the world right now… 1. I just got back from the American Music Therapy Association National Conference in Florida, and it was beyond AMAZING.  I attended some really great sessions, had the opportunity to chat with my professional idols, and obviously was enjoying the warm, Florida sun. 2. This upcoming week is probably my favorite week of the year.  Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) is on Thursday, national shopping day is on… Read more »

Well hello there! I just realized that it’s November and I have yet to do any apple recipes for you all! Shame on me… Last year when Eric and I went apple picking, I wanted to make something with the apples we got.  I came across this recipe for skinny apple butter.  Now, I had never really been an apple butter person, but I knew that a lot of Eric’s family liked it, so I figured even if I didn’t… Read more »

Sooo one of my all time favorite foods is sloppy joes…seriously whenever it was on the menu at DG I made sure to be there.  When I stumbled upon this gem on pinterest I knew I had to give it a try.  I’m going to apologize in advanced: Eric and I don’t use buns in our house, and the sloppy joes looked really funny on sandwich thins and my favorite way to eat sloppy joes is with chips (Special K… Read more »

  Well the chilly Minnesota weather has officially set it, and wouldn’t you know it, our furnace decided to stop working on us.  Since our house was at around 60 degrees, Eric and I were craving something to warm us up, and what better to do that than Mexican?!  Now, typically, I would make fajitas with chicken, but we’re getting a little sick of chicken and decided to do steak instead.  Feel free to sub out any meat of your… Read more »

Well, the time of year most Minnesotans dread has finally rolled in my friends.  Fall time.  I, however, am not one of those people…I love absolutely EVERYTHING about fall.  From all things pumpkin and apple, to football season, to fashion (um hello boots, leggings, and sweaters?!), to two of my favorite holidays (Halloween and Thanksgiving) and I’m even a lover of the colder, fall weather.  This weather is perfect for sitting by your fireplace with apple cider, your hubby, and… Read more »
