Flowers Soothe the Soul…


We’ve had some pretty weird weather here in northern Minnesota…

It seems as though my flowers are as confused as we are.

Not that I’m complaining – you see it has somehow made my tulips so confused that they’ve been blooming for almost two weeks!

Just take a peek! Read more

The Never-Ending Basement Project


It’s the age old story of starting a project anticipating it will take about 3 days to finish.

You start off the first day with gusto…all geared up to get this project done.

For us the first day began with hauling out moldy storage (yes masks and garbage bags were utilized).

This mold arrived courtesy of a misguided attempt by the 12 year old to put away the dolls in a basement closet…which then did not have the ability to air out/dry out. Β Hrmph. Read more

Elena and The Photo Shoot


It rained the day of the photo shoot, which brought all the festivities indoors.

The session was a favor to my friend Barb Kellogg who is building her people portfolio…she already does wonderful pet and landscape photography.

The original plan was for her to shoot our family…Sam, Gabi, Tim and me. Β However, I, having once again over scheduled myself, had the babies for the day too.

Thankfully, Jen (baby Momma) decided it would be a good idea to snap a few photos of the little ones too.

Baby Puke vs. Sam’s Feet

Another “Mother of the Year” moment…

Just give me that crown now.

Picture this: Β (said just like Sophia on the Golden Girls)

The daycare babies were at our house today…

I overheard her (sitting on the couch) telling Gabi: Β Oh Nicole (the one year old) threw up – she hasn’t done that for a long time. Β Jen (Momma) then proceeded to tease Gabi that maybe she was actually the culprit.

Now, take this fact in…I was not involved in cleanup. Read more

I HAVE A GRANDPUPPY!!!!


Yes, you heard me right!

A Grandpuppy!

Let me formally introduce you to the new love of our family, Louis (pronounced Lew-ee)!

Isn’t he absolutely ADORABLE?

Of course I may be a little prejudice…

I can’t wait to meet this little man (err…English Bulldog).

Alex and her boyfriend Tom adopted sweet little Louis on Saturday.

I have refrained from racing down to meet him…I told Alex that they needed the weekend to bond.

I will wait…

I can wait…

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

But…

Oh My Gosh…

I want to squeeze the stuffin’s out of this sweet little dog!

Grandma can be patient!

I think…

Have a blessed day everyone!
