Lake Michigan - perhaps my favorite place on earth

Lake Michigan - perhaps my favorite place on earth

My name is Barb Ruess and this is my blog. What kind of blog? Sometimes a ‘mom blog’… sometimes a cooking blog… sometimes a laugh out loud blog… sometimes a busy blog and sometimes a completely and utterly random blog. Because really – that’s how my life works. I’m a mom of three and I manage my own consulting practice from home. Working out. Reading. Cooking. Playing. Beaching. Museuming. There’s a lot going on around here but it’s fun.

A few years ago we moved to northwest Indiana (known as da Region to you fellow Hoosiers). We live in a small town where my kids can walk to school and in the summer we walk to the library and the farmer’s market. And to keep my sanity I am but a short drive from Chicago and Lake Michigan – thank goodness. Want to learn more? Here’s 100 Things About Me.

Quick Like A Bunny! It’s our mantra… our creed… our motto. Life is hectic and we’ve got a schedule to keep damn it!

    Wow! A little Twilight Zone music here…I just found and enjoyed and giggled at your blog this am and commented on your Betty and Veronica blog. I went to your 4th of July blog and you mentioned Indiana, where I live too. The Zone part is that we are originally from da region. I spent the 4th in Crown Point with sister and sat in her driveway being smoked out by “billion’” dollar fireworks!!!
    Cool.
