I feel a blog coming on…..
Those are the words I just heard in my head as I am debating our newest, whatever, on Facebook.  Good Afternoon Everyone!  I hope this finds you all well.
So, what was I debating on Facebook just now?  American Girl Dolls.  So, we have escaped the hype of those overpriced dolls [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Ok, enough with the political blogs!  Too serious for me plus, frankly really boring.  I have no clue where today's blog is heading or what it will be about but, I am sure I will find something to write about, otherwise, I will just sit here and type stuff to you all.
So, I [...]

Good Monday Morning Everyone!
I love Mondays this year!  My 3 older children are all in school and by the time I get home from driving my 3rd to Kindergarten and run an errand or two, my baby is ready for her nap.  I love it.  I still haven't figured out how to squeeze in a [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Wow, I have to say our fall is so much nicer than our summer was here in Minnesota!  I can't believe how utterly perfect the weather has been lately.  I think it is supposed to take a turn for the worse but, these past few weeks have been wonderful.
As many of you know, [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
I can't believe I am taking the time to write this blog but, I do love writing so yes, I am taking the time!
I never knew how busy I would be as a stay at home mom, truly busy.  Back to school is usually the hardest part because everything starts at the same [...]

Good Evening Everyone!
Oh I can't believe that fantastic dancer who filled my young heart with dreams of dancing professionally and finding a rough around the edges man who was also very light on his feet and could say all the right things has died. 
I guess I didn't realize I was a Patrick Swazye fan [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
So, it is September 14th and get this…if it hits 80 again today, it will be our LONGEST stretch of 80's weather this entire year.  Yep, told you it was a cold summer this year.  Wow.  I think the stretch will only be 5 days too.  Pathetic summer but, great fall.
As you well [...]

Where were you?  It is my generations question about 9/11 that is was to my parents generation of when JFK was shot.
Today 8 years ago started like a normal day for me.  I was getting ready for my first day back at work after having my son, he was 5 1/2 months old.  My mother [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
I have a lot to say and not much time so, I am digging right in.  I am frustrated and frankly confused about all the talk of health care reform and what it really will mean for our country but, really, what it will mean for me and my family.
I don't get why [...]

Good Afternoon Everyone!
Another glorious day here in good ole Minnesota.  Today is the day after Labor Day, the day my older two children started school for the year..finally.
As Nemo would say, "First day of school, first day of school!"  That excitement is exactly what I feel today!  Tomorrow will be even better when all 3 [...]
