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 [...]

My Little Lady seems to think she’s the boss around here. She recently gave me a, “Count to trouble…1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 11-teen. Now do what I say!” Of course, she had one hand on her hip and the other hand waving a finger around, in my face. She’s a dreamer, alright. [...]

I feel like I have so much to say about what is happening in our life right now. Life as a family of 6. Feelings about time with God. My “job” painting furniture and repurposing home decor. The list goes on. But, when I stop to write about it, I wonder what to say. I [...]

Proverbs 31: 17b Her arms are strong for her tasks. As most of you know, I am over 2/3s the way through a 90 day exercise program. I wrote about why in a previous post. My blog, furniture projects and TV watching have all taken a bit of a backseat to my fitness routine. [...]

What a time of year for me to pick for sorting out insurance paperwork, photos and schedules!? What was I thinking? I’m committed to my cause, but if I didn’t take a minute to stop and smell the flowers, I’d have to be committed. Love, Jess

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 [...]

The Store It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s…It’s a mom burning rubber in her minivan to get her child to a bathroom! Park the van. Whip up the double stroller. Buckle in both babies. Grab two hands. Check to see if I have my van keys. Okay, Operation Commode underway. Riiing! Just as we [...]

My days are all blending together. Thank goodness for my breakfast meal plan or I’d have to really question what day I’m living in. Parks, meals, tears, farts, laughs about farts, more meals, toys, worship, books, worries, prayers, kisses, sleep, putting sleepy kids back to bed after sneaking in my bed, folding oh.my.word. the folding, [...]

Molly’s 2 5/6 year old Portraits My Mom begged encouraged me to get an updated portrait of Molly. I guess, the photo of Molly at 6 months was no longer doing-it for her. Molly and I went outside, in the drizzly weather, to snap a few shots for Grammy-Lu. I love this girl’s smile. She [...]
