This school year Ryan, my first grader, has started homeschooling. We do school at home, at the zoo, during van rides, waiting in line, before bed, in the school room, at the kitchen counter, you get the idea. Basically, our lives have turned into living lessons with some worksheet thrown in for good measure. Establishing a [...]

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 [...]

Afternoons with Molly

The day has come, drum roll please, Molly developed an attention span! {Applause inserted here.} She can play without a companion for about 20-30 minutes. Mid-afternoon has become a time for dolls, littlest pet shop, and other rainbow-colored shenanigans. I am often right next to her as she plays. For real, I could play next [...]

A pregnant lady folding and refolding tiny, freshly washed baby tee-shirts and stacks of cloth diapers. A business woman saving her precious funds [...]

How does she keep growing-up before my very eyes? Really, when do kids grow? I swear I never saw that baby face melt away forever. It was just gone one day. Sob, if I could only go back and squeeze those apple cheeks one more time! What a year it has been watching my big [...]

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 [...]

Molly as Mary and Ryan as Joseph (Molly calls him Joephus) The day started like any other day. Little did I know about the challenges that lay ahead. A blur of breakfast dishes, playing, arguing, and Holiday crafts, led quickly into afternoon. A dinner guest was to be expected in a few hours. I busied [...]

At least 17 inches of snow blew into town this past weekend. The roof of the Mall of America Field collapsed, cars were in the ditch everywhere and community activities were cancelled. The news called it Snow-ma-gedon! I called it a Blizzard. Molly called it a “Lizzard”! We made a gingerbread village. Peter taught Ryan [...]
