Thank you for stopping by!  My name is Emily, founder and editor of Simple Side of Life.  I am also a mom to Ava & Owen and wife to Michael.  I love to discover, create, celebrate, explore and share all the things that help keep life simple so you can soak up every moment!  I live in Minnesota where the summers are hot and winters are incredible.  I hope you stick around to find useful tools and fun ways to be creative, live your fullest and celebrate each and every day! 

Hang in there as I get all of the tweaks out of this blog! 

9 Months Old Today!

Enjoyed an amazing evening at the U2 concert!

We were able to get unexpected tickets to the U2 concert!  It has always been one of those things on my life list and feel extremely lucky to see U2 live.  The energy was incredible and the rainy evening will never be forgotten.   Thank you Jen & Greg!

Good Times at the Ballpark!

Tired Ballerina!

Owen isn't quite crawling yet, but he is doing everything he can to keep up with his big sister Ava!
