Library # 6/381: Blue Earth Community Library Hey there, Here we are. Another library in the books for The Minnesota Tour of Libraries. I present to you: Ramsey County Library in Roseville. This library has been a personal favorite for both my daughter and I since she was about one-and-a-half-years-old. The first time we visited, […]
The Minnesota Tour of Libraries Presents: White Bear Lake
Hey there, I’m back with my third review on my Minnesota Tour of Libraries. This week I’m rating Ramsey County Library: White Bear Lake. We love this library because it is one of our local libraries within a 20 minute driving distance and it has a decent children’s section and a good variety of books. […]
Anoka County Library: Northtown
Hey there, I’m back with my second library review from my “Minnesota Tour of Libraries.” I didn’t have a name for this quest before and I just thought of that now, so that’s what it’s called now. Most of the libraries I’m starting with are libraries we’ve already been to before. But I want 381 […]
My Crazy Library Tour Idea Comes to Life
Hey there, Raise your hand if you like the library! Scratch that. Raise your hand if you love the library. My daughter and I are over here waving our hands in the air. It would be an understatement to say we “like” the library. We visit the library at a minimum of 1-2x per week. […]
Arlington Hills Library: St. Paul, Minnesota
Hey there, I’m here with the first review of a library on my tour of visiting every public library in the state Minnesota by September 1st, 2040. 14 years to visit every library in the state? That seems like it should be a piece of cake right? Wellllll, there’s approximately 358 physical public libraries in […]
The Forest Lake Beach
Hey there, I’m back for another mention of somewhere I’ve been recently that I also really enjoyed. Especially my daughter. That place is the Forest Lake Beach in Forest Lake, MN. Also known as Lakeside Memorial Park. It sounds so simple right? So it’s a beach, who cares? What’s so special about it? Stick around […]
10 Things I’ve Learned in 10 Years of Marriage
Hey there, What. Is. Up!? I’ll tell you what’s up. The number of years that I’ve been married. As you can probably guess by the title of this post, that number of years is 10. Which also means that my wife and I have been together for about 12 and a half years. I’m not […]
Who’s the Crazy Lady in the Corner House?
Hey there, Don’t we all have that neighbor who lives on the corner? Or the 1st floor of the apartment right by the entryway. The one who is always doing weird stuff and you kind of question their sanity? They come outside in their bathrobe to let the dogs out and maybe sometimes talks to […]
My Top 5 Summer Reads!
Hey there, Who here likes to read a little bit extra in the summer? I know I do. There’s something about being able to sit outside under a tree, by the water, or on my three-season porch that feels extra cozy and conducive to uninterrupted and relaxing reading. And don’t forget the coffee with extra […]
Visit Your Local Library, I Dare You
Hey there, Libraries are one of the best places on Earth. I say this because it’s 100% true; it’s a fact. As Matilda would say, check the paper if you don’t believe me. I’ve been to many libraries in my life, and I continue to try new ones that I’ve never been to before; especially […]
