"The Life We Lead"
The other night I was chatting on Twitter with a couple friends & we were discussing having kids. It started out being a silly discussion on how I should just let my kids run free range (no diapers) so that I could spend my money on ice cream instead. One of the ladies said, “I […]
First a warning: if you are not a parent, don’t wish to be a parent, or just generally don’t like children this post is NOT for you. This post will contain graphic language & description of what can only be described as the single most disgusting moment of my life.
As you may […]
As I mentioned in my last post I’ve taken to running around sans pants. Combine our current heat wave (August, I don’t care that you’re the home of “the dog days of summer”, you can just behave yourself) with an increasingly prominent baby bump and pants are even less appealing than normal. The heat index […]
I’m tired. Not just physically but emotionally & mentally. My week is always a challenge when Abe is out of town. This week is no different. I have spent a couple days with my brother and his family which helps me feel less alone. Magnus is fun, makes me smile and gives me great snuggles. […]
This post is a little late but I have had a sick baby and other things going on. Thankfully Magnus is starting to feel better and sleep at night again.
Memorial weekend was fairly uneventful. We celebrated a nephew’s first birthday on Saturday. Magnus was too fussy to stay very long. Sunday we rented a […]
By now everybody knows about the devastation in Joplin, MO. Sunday an EF-4 tornado cut a swath of destruction that is unbelievable. A few minutes of wind left St. John’s hospital damaged, the helicopter that would be immediately needed a crumpled heap of metal in front of the building. The high school is gone as […]
It’s been ages since I talked about Magnus. He is a busy little boy & so entertaining. Right now he is playing on the floor & singing to himself at the top of his lungs. I can track him anywhere in the house based solely on his little voice. He doesn’t say words yet except […]
Continue Reading → I have a deep love of books & as a self-described English geek I take pride in my love of much classic literature. I remember vividly the first time I read Shakespeare’s plays & the first time I fell under the spell of Scarlett O’Hara & her beloved Tara. I was 10 maybe 11 years old [...]
Since it is de riguer to do a retrospective post I could hardly swim against the current (I don’t swim with the current either…I prefer the beach) so here’s my recap.
The year of 2010 was one of huge changes for me. First we moved from our home near Duluth, MN to a town near […]
Friday was my 35th birthday. I was not excited about the big day—okay that’s an understatement…I was prepared to avoid the day. Not because of the age I am—I like the idea of 35 & I feel like I’m growing into it with more grace than I thought I possessed. Anyway, I ended up having […]
