Our day started at @kindercoffeelab in @visitstclo Our day started at @kindercoffeelab in @visitstcloud. This new local coffee shop has indoor seating as well as a drive through window. The coffee has a unique flavor unlike most chain coffee shops. Kinder Coffee Lab beans are roasted locally and the service is one-of-a-kind. Super sweet folks serve the coffee in what their website calls a “judgment-free” zone. We love that! ❤️ If you go, be sure to pick up a custom sticker (I got one that said, “Give me coffee or give me death.” And it was just $1. #MWTravelCon22, #MWTravel, #VisitStCloud, #OnlyinMN @VisitStCloud @midwesttravelnetwork #kindercoffeelab

I’ve been blessed all my life to have such a won I’ve been blessed all my life to have such a wonderful mentor who has been there for me every step of the way. My dad, @johnteget, helped me learn how to ride a bike and supported me at school events. As an adult, he’s given me sound advice on whether to purchase a house and which job offer to accept. He welcomed my wife and a new granddaughter with love and open arms. My dad has done all he could to make sure I had the very best life possible. Most importantly, he has shown what it means to love his family unconditionally. Happy Father's Day, dad! I hope you have the relaxing, joy-filled day you deserve. Love, Steve
Took this photo on an early morning walk today. Took this photo on an early morning walk today. It’s that time of year in Nebraska where the weather is unpredictable. It’s sunny then cloudy. Dry then wet. Completely calm and then the hail storm. The weather here is like life - often unpredictable with lots of ups and downs. As native midwesterners, we learned from a young age that through it all, God is in control. He basks in glory on our bright and cheery days and He holds us in His hands through the storms. Through it all. Have a blessed Sunday, knowing you are loved by God and by us.
Do you prefer a sweet or savory salad? Earlier t Do you prefer a sweet or savory salad? Earlier this week, we had grilled chicken salads for supper. Steve prefers a more savory salad, while I like my summer salads on the sweet side. After spending a long day away from home, these were both quick and easy salads to throw together, thanks to a little pre-planning the day before. Knowing that we wouldn’t have much time for meal prep, we grilled some extra chicken breasts the night before when we had other stuff already on the grill. Then, all we had to do was take the pre-grilled and chopped chicken out the fridge and assemble our salads. (We also had all of the topping pre-cut.) Here’s what each salad included: Ann’s sweet salad: 🍓mixed spring greens 🍓grilled chicken 🍓 sliced strawberries 🍓 blueberries 🍓 chopped red onion 🍓 dried fruit and nut mix 🍓 feta 🍓 lite raspberry vinaigrette dressing Steve’s savory salad: 🥗 mixed spring greens 🥗 grilled chicken 🥗 sliced cucumbers 🥗 diced bell peppers 🥗 red onion 🥗 grated carrots 🥗 bacon bits 🥗 shredded parmesan cheese 🥗 lite ranch and fat-free Dorothy Lynch dressings What are your favorite summer salads? #dinnersathome #salad #saladrecipe #summersalads #noom
We have the absolutely BEST guests at our Airbnb c We have the absolutely BEST guests at our Airbnb called @postcardplce in Pawhuska. This is Adrian. He and three women from South Dakota visited Pawhuska earlier this week to eat at The Pioneer Woman Mercantile, shop, relax, and just enjoy some time away with one another! They snagged a room at the PW Boarding House their first night in town and then checked in at Postcard Place for their second night. They had the best time checking things off our “70 things to do in Pawhuska list” and lounging on the covered front porch at Postcard Place after a day of sight seeing. Jessie said in her review that they “will definitely stay again.” Five-star reviews like the one Jessie wrote are fantastic! But what really made our day was the thoughtful and detailed note that Adrian left in our guest book. He summed it all up when he said, “Others should get their ass (oops) here or you will miss the time of your life.” We couldn’t agree with you more, Adrian. And we sincerely hope YOU will be back!
