6 Lessons From Duck Camp
As a pretty-liberal, city-dwelling twenty-something, I get a couple of odd looks when I say: “Yeah, I’m heading north this weekend to hide in tall grass, shoot at some ducks, and take care of my business in an outhouse.” Each year, our group heads up to northwest Minnesota in hopes of shooting ducks, but really focusing on spending quality time together. We get all decked out in camouflage, and make the journey up to the “Duck Camp.” There is something magical about unplugging from the everyday technological drone and, instead, connecting to the moment and experience of the great outdoors. Time spent around campfire talking about life rather than binging…

Friday Feels: Startups and HoneyCrisps
PREFACE: It is totally Thursday now, but these are my #FridayFeels from last week. WHOOPS! I didn’t get a chance to edit photos, which TBH can take the longest for me. So, here is the text… I’ll put up a new one tomorrow before I head out of town tomorrow… Is there going to be a week that I don’t say, “Oh wow! What a busy week…” I’ve been working hard to make the most of my time through organization, but I’m struggling to find the perfect method, nevertheless, I’m making it work! Twin Cities Startup Week. One of the main reasons that my time felt stretched is that I…

Friday Feels: On a Sunday….
Beautiful internet folks… I am back. After a brief hiatus, I am back with some Friday Feels from the last couple of weeks. I know it is Sunday, but you know what they say… YOLO. Fall came all at once here in Minnesota, and it totally caught me off guard (Yeah, I’m gonna blame my break on the weather…. LOL). But for real, it’s been a busy few weeks. I will give the highlight starting now: 1. Closing up the trailer. My parents came up from Maryland last weekend. We ventured up to the North Woods of Wisconsin to do some reno on an ongoing trailer project. Maybe one day…

Professional Jack
I went to a fun blogger event a couple of weeks ago, and I was asked one question that I found so interesting is: “What is your day job?” That got me thinking, maybe I should chit chat about what I do for a living on the blog. It might spur a column where I talk about myself more… because we all need more of that, right? riiiiight…. This post is part of an effort to be a little more thorough on LivingNimbly… Also, I think that this would be good for me in general to get down a couple of pages down on what the business side of my life…

Friday Feels: 90 Degree Shenanigans
Happy Friday! I just wanted to drop in quickly with a couple of feels from this week before I get back to enjoying this 90 degree first day of fall (how odd… right?) 1. Bikes. One of my oldest and best friends in the world, Kurt, came into town to visit for an extended weekend, and we are having a blast. Last night we rode bikes around the lake and ate ice cream on the porch. What could be better than that. Next week, I’ll be sure to update you on all of the shenanigans of this visit. 2. Smoothie time. I am back on a smoothie for breakfast kick.…
