Books. My library card could catch on fire from all the action it gets from checking out books. Fresh Produce from friends and family. Between my brother-in-law, mother-in-law and my neighbor we ate like kings this summer. Homegrown kings. (my salsa recipe will be coming soon — save those tomatoes!) School Supplies. I’ve been collecting [...]

The dog days of summer are almost over. In Minnesota, I am heading into the weird transitional mini-season that holds the State Fair and Halloween decor, beach swimming and school supplies. So before, the boat, the marshmallows, and the sunscreen are all a distant memory, I want to show you what is in the “lost [...]

Born the eldest of the my twins, she is my third child. Born 5 lbs. 12 oz. at 36 weeks via c-section. She spent 8 days in the Natal Intensive Care Unit after birth. She was healthy but too early, so she needed a little help eating and staying warm. We couldn’t have visitors for [...]

We ate cookies everyday, for over a week. A sparkly new sign, made it into my Christmas decor. (Hand painted by my fellow Shabby Mama, Andrea.) The felt “board” was laid out with our Velcro Nativity set. My sil, Carly, gave all the sils a meaningful Christmas ornament. It means a lot to me, as [...]

I’ve been searching for the perfect remedy for clutter, a balance in work & parenthood, and the answer for how God works in my life.

Watching movies like Madeline, Veggie Tales and G-Force. Aren’t my little screen-zombies cute? Grilling several times a week on our new gas grill. Love it! Collecting “Junktiques” to be a Junk Market vendor in a local show. Letting Claire and Leah explore their curiosities. Claire loves dumping out the DVDs. Leah loves chomping on her [...]

The Rest of our Outings I used my $2.50 store credit. How could I let the credit expire? It’s like throwing money away, right? I fed Leah a bottle in her stroller, saved Molly from being smashed inside 4 turning jewelry displays and fielded 3 conversations about “How busy we must be!” I replaced about [...]
