The Most INCREDIBLE Therapeutic Massage EVER!


If you know me, you know that I generally don’t spend money on massages.

Yes, I like getting a massage, I think most people do, but…there is that money thing…and I just can’t justify it with other bills to be paid.

HOWEVER,

It was recommended to me that I find someone who could do myofascial release, so I did some searching.

This woman, this Valerie Nesteruk, has not been trained in that area, and she stated as much when we talked. Β (Honesty…I like that.) Read more

Kudos to 20 Years of Teaching Math!


Have I told you how proud I am of my hubby yet?

He’d literally roll his eyes if he heard me say that.

You see, he’s really rather quiet and unassuming…and does NOT accept praise well at all! Β Which of course makes me want to give him his just rewards even more…

This man,

This sweet, gentle, quiet man…

This man that LOVES math like no one else I’ve ever seen…

Has just finished his 20th year of teaching! Read more

My Babies are Blooming!


OK, that may sound a little off to you, however…

Take a peek at what I call my “babies”!

These truly are babies – ok…miniatures…they were a part of a basket from my Dad’s funeral.Β  And on the off-chance that they’d grow outside, I plopped them in the dirt gently planted them. Read more

Spring in Northern Minnesota!


Just a quick post to say LOOK AT THIS SNOW!!!Β  And we’re supposed to get another 3-6 inches today!Β  All I could do this morning is laugh!Β  It’s just so bizarre!

Take a peek at yesterday’s post with this beautiful tree…Prayers, Gabi sees Yoda, and I’m Hibernating!Β  Amazing the difference a day makes…and it’s supposed to be Spring!

We originally planned on heading out on a trip today, but between the weather and our oldest daughter being sick with the flu (we were heading down to see her)…

I think hibernation is in order for today too.

Gabi has already been outside to play – in fact if you look just to the left of my cute little Christmas tree buried under the snow – you’ll see her head sitting behind a snow bank!

Tim’s shoveled and snowblowed and looked like the abominable snowman when he came back in.

And now I think we’ll pull out a puzzle and spend some family time together.

Bring on the hot chocolate!

Prayers, Gabi Sees Yoda, and I’m Hibernating…


I was having a hard time deciding what to write about today.

Obviously you can see I decided not to choose, but rather to go with all three subjects.

A serious subject, a fun subject and a couch with your favorite blanket and old movies kind of day subject.

First, in all seriousness… Read more
