I guess you can all tell I'm a Denver Broncos fan! It's a Sunday funday for sure when your team makes it to the Superbowl. I may have social media silence during the actual game, mind you, because so many of my loved ones are living in Seattle, and I don't want to get crazy. … Continue reading Omaha!

Saturday in the Park! Ha!
I really wanted to be able to say that. Can't you tell by my pithy "Ha!" thrown in at the end? Today is the kind of day that makes me so grateful to live in this climate. For my relatives in Canada (and one in South Korea), I'm not saying this to brag. It's just … Continue reading Saturday in the Park! Ha!
Teenage Wasteland…I’m a Bit Confused
Today's topic is serious. Really, it is! Just keep in mind that my world view is based on being a people watcher. So I'm not passing judgments here, I am seriously asking questions. We live near a town that is considered "trouble." A half hour drive gets us there, so it's not as if it's … Continue reading Teenage Wasteland…I’m a Bit Confused
Wednesday – Pinterest in Action!
So much fun! I often say that I am not crafty. I knit. I write. That's it. Not that I am putting myself down, I just really never fail to be extremely impressed by people who can come up with amazing visual presentations from simple materials. I had the opportunity to go to craft stores … Continue reading Wednesday – Pinterest in Action!
Saturday (Not) In the Park…
It definitely isn't the Fourth of July... I fell asleep before posting my blog yesterday! Sheesh! Sometimes I think that I have skipped middle age entirely and moved straight into my golden years. Friday was a bit of a watershed day around here: it wasn't any one thing in particular, but a grouping of good … Continue reading Saturday (Not) In the Park…
Friday Philosophy: Brave
It sounds like I'm about to do a write up on the Disney movie now. 🙂 No, I promise it's not that! I've been learning a lot about bravery, and my misconceptions about bravery. I've long held onto the belief that bravery is synonymous with fearlessness. Of course, I've been wrong for quite some time. … Continue reading Friday Philosophy: Brave
Thankful Thursday, Family Style…
Today was my son's very first piano lesson. I think it's safe to say we had an amazing night. Moses had taught himself to play several pieces before his lesson, and played all of them for his teacher. He continued playing melodic lines while his teacher played harmonies. He learned to sightread, and how to … Continue reading Thankful Thursday, Family Style…
A Musical Wednesday…
I've had a crazily productive day here, again! Moses starts his piano lessons tomorrow, and Maddie resumes her violin lessons on Friday. Tonight, they wanted me to sing them to sleep. That hasn't happened in years now. Once I had spent a few minutes singing, Moses went ahead and sang an Irish blessing to me. … Continue reading A Musical Wednesday…
Tuesday Thoughts…Sleepy!
I've been running around all day. At the start of it, my son couldn't find a book for school and my daughter remembered her PE uniform only when I was dropping her off. Fortunately, I great deal of what I had on the agenda today involved being on the phone, so I managed to multitask. … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…Sleepy!
Shortcomings…
As you all know by now, I focus a great deal of time and energy on the health and wellbeing of my family. I prepare organic meals, I avoid toxic cleansers, I have taught my children the fun of being fit, and we have all learned to meditate together. Here's where I have dropped the … Continue reading Shortcomings…
