Happy, handsome homeschooling dads? Or a couple of local politicians? Fun-loving, free-spirited homeschooling mom? Or a random heckler? Be back with a re-cap later! If you could say a prayer for the success of this conference, and for Catholic homeschooling parents everywhere, that would be much appreciated. AMDG, … [Read more...]
Up & Coming
Okay, so these are two rather late-night announcements, but we had a birthday today and this is how I roll. First, the Minnesota Catholic Homeschool Conference starts tomorrow. Are you going? Please say you are! I will be hosting the Homeschooling Bloggers’ Chat at 4:30 p.m.on Friday. If you’re around at that time and have a blog or want a blog … [Read more...]
Birthday Buddies!
(born just one week—and ten years—apart) My son remarked that it seems like I always give him breakfast cereal. “Hey,” I told him, “What I lack in originality, I make up for in love and dental bills.” (Next year I’m getting him a box of dry Zwieback.) Happy 13th birthday, Jem! It will great (I’m sure) having two teenagers in … [Read more...]
The “Real” Cake and the Rest of the Story
A.K.A. My Fallen, Flawed, Predictable Me The “real” cake, of course, was absolutely gorgeous. “It had to be,” NiNi’s godmother teased me, “You bragged up my cakes in that birthday post!” (Okay, so she didn’t say exactly that…though there was some ribbing about having set the bar so high.) (When I thought about it, I realized she was … [Read more...]

Not the Real Cake
Felicity informed me that yesterday’s photo was kind of weird. Those were not her words, exactly. What she did say was, “Um...why did you choose that picture for a birthday post?” Ah, sweet insecurity. Here, then, is another shot of the birthday boy. This is not his “official” cake so you can stop laughing now. His godmother, who does amazing … [Read more...]
He be 3!
That’s right. The terrible two’s were so yesterday. They’ve been replaced with “Big Boy Three.” 3-year-olds got lots of game. They got impishness, playfulness, and Me-Do-It-Myself-ness. They got cute little feet that pound the floor as they run, and sticky fingers that mark up the door. They got cuddles & love & “No, I won’t.” They got … [Read more...]
A Little Light Writing for Monday
Okay, so, if you’re anything like me… ~ In the Press Booth at Target Field ~ (You can see that I’ve traded my pen & pad for something much, much better.) This past weekend pretty much knocked you out. I swear, sometimes it’s like I need a weekend to recover from the weekend! This is not to say that we worked yesterday—on the … [Read more...]
“Take me out to the…”
Yesterday I went with my two bookend boys on a private tour of Target Field. That’s our new stadium for the Minnesota Twins. Just so you know. I didn’t take a ton of photos because most of the time, my arms were full of two-year-old. Don’t let the above photo fool you—that is like one of the only times he let his brother hold him. And … [Read more...]
The Close of Our First Year of AHG
A {Pretty Happy Funny Real} Round-Up {Pretty} This is so totally a personal bias, but I find little girls in uniforms to be very pretty. The above picture was taken before the American Heritage Girls Spring Court of Awards ceremony, which was held last Monday evening. It is not to be confused with this photo, which was taken after the … [Read more...]
