How did last year’s resolutions go for you? Not so well? Last year, my three resolutions were to stop biting my nails, go to the gym three times a week, and save money.
I struggled for the first few months of not biting my nails. But, I feel I have successfully overcome the habit by keeping my nails…
To note, my son, an avid Hawk fan, predicted this exact score the day before the game, Iowa 27, Mizzou 24. I like the way he thinks and glad we stayed glued to the TV until the final play. The late night left many of us at the UIAA sleepy this morning but it was well worth it. Congratulations to…
I love the beauty of nature no matter what the season and was delighted to wake up to a sparkling fairyland-like world this morning. Every twig, branch, needle, leaf, stem, frond, and spire was coated with a twinkling frosting more spectacular than the most lavishly ornamented Christmas cookie.

‘Twas the night of the bowl game and all through this town
Chips and salsa on store shelves could scarcely be found

Kyle and Cari Fulcher, the Omaha/Council Bluffs IOWA Club leaders, do a great job of organizing and coordinating fun events that allow UI friends and family to network and build community in the area….
Tonight, nobody better stand between me and my Fran McCaffery bobblehead! You can find me this evening at the Hawkeye men’s basketball game, hopefully among the first 3,000 fans at Carver-Hawkeye Arena who snag this humorous Hawkeye collectible.
Students in the Hawks Nest already have giant cardboard cutouts of Fran’s head that float around the crowd at games. Wouldn’t it be…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Except when the to-do list leaves you in a fit of anxiety: gifts to buy, cards to mail, lights to hang, cookies to bake, travel plans to make, aaarrrggghhh!! And it’s a known fact that stress leaves your immune system vulnerable to a host of wintertime illnesses. For your consideration, we offer…
