Keep It Simple – Westwood Hills Nature Center – Minnesota
Keep it simple. The best things in life are right in front of you. I hear people say all the time that they wish they could do this or that. I also hear that many of these wishes are based on what people see on social media. Today’s “Mondays are for daydreaming” post is a reminder ...

Baker Campground – Twin Cities – Minnesota
It’s a rainy day so I’m dreaming of camping, looking at photos from past trips and planning new ones. I love going through old pictures and reminiscing.
