The “11th Hour” Edition Seriously. It's my April review and I'm writing it on April 30th? I have no shame, clearly, but don't want to tick off the good folks at headquarters, who keep sending me courteous but insistent emails. "Have we somehow missed your post?" No, you haven't missed my post, because I'm a great big blogging loser, and … [Read more...]
On how I’ve been Massively Successful in all my Endeavors
It's simple, really. For the past month, give or take a day here and there, I have focused on success in the following areas: 1. Overeating; 2. Overspending; 3. Under-exercising; 4. Under-cleaning; and 5. Dealing with a mental health issue that's not my own. And THAT'S why I haven't been blogging at all, because I'm pretty sure you've … [Read more...]
Making a Clean Sweep for Spring!
Or: That Time these People Saved my Space When Eric Rogers, owner of White Lotus Cleaning in Minneapolis, emailed to ask if I'd like a free spring cleaning in exchange for a review, I didn't hesitate: "Oh, no thank you, Mr. Rogers. When it comes to cleaning I am IN CONTROL." And Eric was all like, "April Fool's?" And my … [Read more...]
For those of you who are not on Facebook…

Grief, Grace and Unbelievable Goodness
I know you have plenty to read and do today, so I'm going to keep this very brief. It's Good Friday, emphasis on that first word "Good." Today is the day--the day of days. Our Lord has triumphed over sin! He will continue to triumph over sin. Praise Him for that. Thank Him for that. To God--and Jesus--be all the glory. Yet … [Read more...]
Our “It’s Spring!” Screens chez Minnesota Me
I.e. What this #StreamTeam family has been watching on Netflix, even though it’s Lent and we should be screen-free. “Keeping It Real” Disclosure: I’m a member of the Netflix #StreamTeam which means that they pay for our streaming service in exchange for these monthly reviews. All opinions, however, are my own. The truth: In a perfect … [Read more...]
Truth. Beauty. Holy. Week.
St. Patrick’s Day, 2016, and I was gifted unexpectedly with a trip to see my family. Have I mentioned that I love North Dakota? And that my sister’s home is a retreat for the soul? Yes, I have. Repeatedly. Anyway, there’s a lot more I could say about this trip but all that has to wait. For … [Read more...]
Deep Thoughts on Donald Trump
Part II of my Series “The VERY Hard Work of Lasting Change” You can read Part I here. This is me, going on a Facebook foray: The world is my oyster! Or rather, in this case, my PB & J. Mmmm....I start to sample the goods in my feed. This is also known as “scrolling,” whereupon I roll my cursor down down … [Read more...]
Leap Day Loveliness
True story: I was going to call this post “Leap Day Lunacy” but figured that title would scare you off. I’m all about being encouraging, you know? Because the truth is, we are crazy. Why else would we get a puppy when... We already have a houseful of crazies, including (but not limited to) a six-year-old who’s … [Read more...]
Our “Full House” is getting “Fuller”
(No, this is not a pregnancy announcement.) Growing up, I was not a fan of the TV show Full House, mainly because I was too busy being a college student (i.e. partying studying profusely) to watch TV. I did, however, have the D.J. Tanner hair down pat, as proven by my passport photo (circa 1986) : I'm surprised they let … [Read more...]
