— Here’s What I Have to Say —

One.

November 13, 2013Dannie0
One. One. ONE! My baby is ONE! Somehow, Dannie turning one is harder for me to handle than it was for Maddie turning one. Dannie is the happiest, silliest, most fun little addition to our family. I love her developing personality and her smile is so infectious! Dannie is becoming more independent every day. She...

Murder At Spirit Falls & Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank

November 7, 2013Books0
Since I am really behind in updating the books I have read, this one will have two of them in it. The first one is Murder At Spirit Falls. Here’s a little about the book. A No Ordinary Women Mystery. Robin Bentley’s cabin, perched above Spirit Falls in the lush Wisconsin woodland, is remote enough...

Tiny Update

November 6, 2013Randomness0
My laptop has been at the “shop” waiting for a new battery. This laptop has a program on it I like to blog with. Therefore, that has been my excuse for not blogging since Dannie’s 11 month birthday. And since she turns 1 in a week, my poor blog has been sitting here unloved for...

11 Months Old

October 15, 2013Dannie0
I can’t believe this is my last monthly post before our little pumpkin turns ONE! (And again I am a couple days late posting this.) I swear Dannie’s first year has gone by way faster than Maddie’s first year did. Dannie is the happiest little baby and makes me laugh and giggle all the time....

Breezy Point

September 26, 2013Dannie, Maddie0
Early in August (I’m really behind with posts!) we took a trip with my family to my aunt and uncle’s cabin at Breezy Point. I was there the weekend before for an annual girls weekend.I’ll spare you the drunken pictures. Unless you really want to see them. My family has gone to Breezy Point for...

10 Months Old

September 15, 2013Dannie0
I’m a couple days late getting this posted, but I certainly didn’t forget my baby turned 10 months old on Friday the 13th. There’s going to be lots of those in her years, I think! Dannie has a new favorite toy – a doll! She kisses it, licks it, bites its arms and legs. And...

Sculpture Garden

September 10, 2013Dannie, Maddie0
One weekend, earlier in the summer (I think it was July), we went and wandered around the Sculpture Garden. There’s lots to see and Maddie had fun running around. Dannie wasn’t feeling very well, so we were happy to get out of the house for a while. I don’t remember the last time I walked...

What We’ve Been Eating These Days

September 9, 2013Food1
A few people have been asking what we’ve been eating since we overhauled our diet a number of months back. I sent a long email of ideas to a friend and thought some of you might be interested as well. Maybe this will help some of you get some new meal ideas. Zucchini Chips Onion...

Farmer’s Market & Como Zoo

September 8, 2013Dannie, Food, Maddie0
This morning we went to the Farmer’s Market and then Como Zoo. We haven’t been to the Farmer’s Market in quite a while. It was so nice to go now that there are so many fruits and vegetables there! WE got the most delicious watermelon, a cantaloupe (because Maddie LOVES them), green beans (because Chuck...

Riding A Bike

August 20, 2013Maddie0
We bought Maddie a balance bike. The first while that she had it, she wouldn’t go near the thing. Then one day, she decided she wanted to ride it and took off! She has gotten so good with it. She can go pretty fast. She likes to ride her bike to the park or up...

Farmer’s Market & Stone Arch Bridge

August 19, 2013Dannie, Food, Maddie0
We really like going to the Farmer’s Market. We have gone to all sorts of them around town. I really like the St. Paul Farmer’s Market because there’s a stand that sells this yummy Black Bean and Chipotle Hummus. I love it! A favorite thing to do at any of the Farmer’s Markets is to...

The Maze Runner

August 18, 2013Books0
For July, my book club read The Maze Runner. It is a young adult book, similar to The Hunger Games. Here’s a description of the book: When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors...

9 Months Old

August 16, 2013Dannie0
Our baby girl is 9 months old already. I can’t believe how quickly these last 9 months have gone. We’ve been busy getting ready for a trip, so I didn’t have time to blog on her 9 month birthday a couple days ago. So I wrote some of this on the car ride and the...

Fishing & The 4th Of July

July 17, 2013Dannie, Maddie, Products & Places0
We have been doing a lot of fishing. Maddie really likes it and we have fun bringing her. We have been trying out a bunch of lakes in the area to see what we like best. And before this outing, we got her a fishing pole. We let her pick out the one she wanted....

Rocket Pops & Huckables

July 16, 2013Food0
I came across this recipe in an email and thought I would give it a try for the 4th of July. They were very easy and really yummy! I think I am going to make more of these in different colors/flavors for other events. Here’s a picture of mine, still in the small cup I...

Fishing & StoryWalk

July 15, 2013Maddie, Products & Places0
A couple weekends ago we took the girls to Lebanon Hills Park and went on a StoryWalk (a walk around a trail with pages of a book set up to read as you walk). Maddie also needed to stop and look at bugs. And she was very curteous to her doll she was carrying. She...

Into The Wild

July 14, 2013Books0
For June, my book club read Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer. I’m a bit behind writing about the books I have read. Anyway, it was a very interesting book. Here’s a summary: In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt....

8 Months Old

July 13, 2013Dannie0
First, it’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve written on here. I have tons of things to write about, but I haven’t been finding the time. So I will have to catch up soon. Dannie is another month closer to 1! I just realized that before too long I am going to have to...

The Boy in the Suitcase

June 18, 2013Books0
For May, my book club read The Boy in the Suitcase. It was a really interesting book. It was written from different character’s perspectives and was a good suspense book. It reminded me of the writing for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Here’s a summery of the book. Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse,...

What a beautiful book. There are so many different What a beautiful book. There are so many different topics that could be discussed with this book. It would make a great book club read. I bet each person would have their own takeaway from this one.

I think it was so well written and the characters were so unique. The way they took different paths and then come back to each other was so well done. She has a magical writing style and I can’t wait to read more by her!

We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other nig We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other night. The movie was really cute as a stand-alone movie. But my kids were disappointed after reading the books. Some scenes were different, some parts weren’t included and they were kind of bummed it didn’t follow the book perfectly. The book is always better I told them. 😁

Any movies you have seen that didn’t quite live up to the book?

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
