Crazy Minnesotans

July 25, 2012 19 Comments

For the last two months, I’ve heard everyone I know (including myself) complain again and again about the incredibly hot, super dry summer we’ve had.

Yesterday it rained.

And amazingly enough, every Facebook status was: “I wish this rain would stop! I want to go outside.”

Crazy Minnesotans. We just don’t know what we want.

I’ll tell you what I DO want. I want more opportunities to wear my rain boots. Cuz they’re cute. And I love ‘em.

Bring it, rain. I’m ready for ya.

  • Hey guys, I’m excited to be posting on Wild Ruffle today for Cate. I blog about life, advocating for the orphan, thrifting and crafts over at A Harvest of Blessing. I “met” Cate online a few months back when she was looking for an organization to partner up with in Uganda and I was excited… [Continue Reading]

  • I purchased these pleather shorts from H&M last fall and wore them a couple of times. But lately, they’ve become my favorite thing to put on. Though the first time I donned them, my oh-so-funny hubby gathered the kids around him and said in an oh-so-serious voice, “Kids, I have sad news. Your mommy has… [Continue Reading]

  • As I type, the sun is finally peeking out through the clouds, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty darn nice day here in Minnesota. Dare I say – it may even feel like summer? Warmer temps mean showing off those toes, and that means I better touch up the polish before… [Continue Reading]

    Wild About You

  • I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the rain. But yesterday, I did nothing of the sort. We didn’t see any sunshine – in fact, it absolutely dumped buckets of rain here in Minnesota. But after a long trip home from a funeral, I was so ready for a quiet morning at home. Besides,… [Continue Reading]

    Love those boots! I have been looking for a fun pair for what seems like forever! It rains a lot in the fall here in Idaho, and the teacher’s parking lot is a long walk to the front door! It may be time to start looking for some equally posh rain gear.

    Love the Galoshes!! I have a pair with bright colored daisies that I love wearing any time it rains too! PS – I met your mom a few weeks ago at the Crew when I had a question about their desert boots. Told her I had been following your blog & was a PL’r too! She’s a gem!!
