August 29, 2011 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, My Girls, Toddler George 8 Comments

I have just spent the morning--a very LARGE part of the morning--filling out forms and finding records so that my daughters can join American Heritage Girls. Phew!

The We ♥ Mary EditionPrologue: I groaned to open the blinds one morning and see that the neighbors were having a yard sale. “From their garage to my daughters’ bedroom,” I thought, but still allowed my three little girls to run over. “Yes, you may each pick out one Beanie Baby.

Buster and His Boy

July 22, 2011 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, More You Tube Stuff, Toddler George 9 Comments

Inspired by a sudden love for all things Woody, George finally agreed to ride his horse.(You remember, perhaps, when he refused?)Hey, it's only been since Christmas.Updated to Add: Yes, that is I doing the narration.

So the other day I said that George has a working vocabulary of about five words. Immediately after posting that, I realized that, no, he actually says a whole lot more.I just don't understand most of it.However, for the sake of posterity and accuracy and being--gosh darn it, let's be honest here--anal, I have to share with you some more cute … [Read more...]

Food for Thought

“Fully 95 percent of your emotions, positive or negative, are determined by how you talk to yourself on a minute-to-minute basis. It is not what happens to you but the way that you interpret the things that are happening to you that determines how you feel.“To keep yourself motivated, you must resolve to become a complete optimist. You must … [Read more...]
