Now, normally that’s a bad thing, right?Not so in the case of Joe and his little brother, George.“Joe, keep an eye on the baby, will you?”“Sure, Mom.”Hey, thanks.Whatever will I do when that kid goes back to school in a week? He doesn’t really need an education, does he?Don’t answer that.These photos, by the way, are brought to you courtesy of … [Read more...]

I don’t get out all that much.)Here’s the link: S’mores and the Great OutdoorsDo grab a marshmallow and stop on by! Let me know what you … [Read more...]
Wild Things
So do you remember this kid who turned 13 on Sunday?(He's the one on the left.)Well, I would have done a birthday post in his honor, but I was too...distracted, as it were, carrying on with him at a local amusement park. Because my husband was busy getting ready for a canoe trip, he asked that *I* be the one to take Joe & Jem and two of their … [Read more...]
Homeward Bound (and Back)
You may already know that I’m originally from North Dakota.This is the view outside the WalMart in the town where I grew up. It is much better than the view inside the WalMart. Yes, I realize that makes the title of this blog a misnomer. I am not really a Minnesota mom—I am a transplant, I am a fraud.Would it help if I said that I grew up on the … [Read more...]

A Day in the Life of a Soccer Mom
I can’t believe I just wrote that title.Am I really a soccer mom? If so, how did I get here? I never planned to be a soccer mom.I’d always thought of myself as a stay-home-and-read-a-good-book kind of mom. Or how about a stay-home-and-bake-cookies mom? I could do that. I have done that.This business, though, of driving my children from this sport … [Read more...]
Still celebrating?
Of course you are.Unless you’re, like, Canadian. And then you’re probably…not.Or are you?My husband has the day off today and as such we are in the camp of those still celebrating. He’s at the gun club as I type, celebrating his freedom & independence (and not mention, the 2nd Amendment) with his buddies.(He’s got his guns and I got my blog. … [Read more...]

Babies, Blankets, Books & Bars
If you bring a baby to the baseball field, you’re going to spend a lot of time entertaining him.That is to say, a LOT of time.That is to say, the whole time.So what if his brother is pitching a no-hitter? (He wasn’t, mind you, but it could happen.)It’s far more fun to play with Daddy.Sort of gives new meaning to the term “pop fly,” don’t it?Catch … [Read more...]
Macro
We just returned from a trip up north, where we got to see my extended family and where I tried to look at life more “up close” than usual.It was really, really fun. It was also the perfect prelude to Holy Week, which is a very good time to reexamine our life, our loves, and our daily choices.Post to follow? I hope so. Until then, have a blessed … [Read more...]
