Exploring Minnesota – New Ulm
It’s that time of year again! About a year and a half ago, I posted about doing a 100 Things Challenge. I was what you would call a “new mom” at the time and though I felt I had very little time on my hands, I had all the time in the world to think….
September 17 always brings tears. It was 4 years ago that our little babies went to be with their heavenly Father. Our two little babies that God allowed to grow for 3 weeks in Brenda’s womb. A journey we never imagined being a part of, yet a journey that we couldn’t be more thankful for….
As you could probably tell, Dan and I have been gone for awhile, hence the lack of blogging. Like I said before (I didn’t even look back at what I previously wrote), people were encouraging us to get away. That we did. A week and a half ago, Dan and I headed up to Stony…
This past week was a little hectic as I went back to work! I felt I had thoroughly enjoyed the summer, spent amazing and quality time with Mazy, and so I felt ready to go back to work my 2 days. Plus, Mazy is just such a sucker for her dad, so I knew she…
Dan and I have been deeply convicted about the poverty in not only the United States, but in the world. After our trip to Belize, our eyes were just opened (once again) to a world that we so easily neglect because we get caught up in our own little world here. By own little world,…
With a new year upon us, one of the things I want to keep tweaking in my life is how much stuff we have. I still am desiring to live with less, but it is a process – not a one day cure. In attempts to continue to do so, I recently challenged my readers…

Kristin!! I would totally go to New Ulm this summer with you! I love looking at the historical sites around the area! 🙂 You should head to Montevideo sometime and check out the Pioneer village! But go this summer, when you can walk around! Then the boys and I can go too! They are awesome sites! <3
Wow we just have so much in common! Dan and I both enjoy historical sites. We will definitely have to go both places this summer!
You had fun cleaning? The only time that happens to me is if I have company to talk to and keep the kids out from under my feet! April is right though, Pioneer Village is SO much fun! There are some really cool historical spots down in the Minnesota River valley about 30-45 minutes south of us too … old farmsteads, sites of Indian attacks, and 2 miles west of Pburg is a farm that actually is listed as a historical site because Indians once camped there on their way to the massacres in the river valley.
Ang – that is good to know about the Minnesota River valley too! I never even heard of it :). That is why asking people where to go (people who live here) is so much easier instead of meandering around towns, aimlessly. I LOVE old farmsteads and what not! Thanks for the info and if you have anymore, let me know!
