          Is it really Monday again, already?  Seriously, the weekends always fly by, especially when you are having fun!  I spent time with my mom and brother this weekend, and one of the highlights of the weekend was visiting the Farmers' Market in Des Moines, IA.  I had heard that the [...]

Happy Friday everyone!  I am so excited that we have almost made it through the work week.  The weekend has been calling my name for days now...or more like since Monday ;).  I am off to Des Moines this weekend to spend some quality time with my brother and mom.  I am looking forward to [...]
