In-Step

 Every day I attempt to walk the puppy. And every day it’s a gaggle of new problems. He still pulls on the leash, he still stops and watches every person that goes by, he still nips at my heels. I would love to tell you I am training this dog well, but I’m not sureContinue reading “In-Step”

Messy Stuff

I need to apologize as this is going to be a little gross. After working with middle school students for several years, I have become totally unphased by “poop” stories. Not a youth group hour goes by where some middle schooler doesn’t crack a joke about poop, toilets, farts, you name it. For some reasonContinue reading “Messy Stuff”

The Hill at the End

A friend texted the other day and asked if some of us wanted to join him for a bike ride. Being that biking is completely outside, we could easily be together and continue to socially distance, this seemed like a good thing to do! The sun was bright and the air was warm. We couldContinue reading “The Hill at the End”

In the Zone

Tonight my husband spent a little time with our new puppy. It was the end of the day, and the pup was a little crazy. Actually he’s crazy all day, but at this particular moment he was needing some extra attention. I had spent time training him, walking him and talking to him (yep that’sContinue reading “In the Zone”

Buddy and the Ball

Today, just like every day, my daughter participated in her online gymnastics practice. Although they can’t be in the gym on the equipment, they continue to diligently practice each day. They do a series of exercises that will help them return to the gym as easily as possible. Splits, leaps, running, handstands, you name it,Continue reading “Buddy and the Ball”

1000 Piece Puzzle

I stopped by my mom’s house the other day. My son has been baking for her, and we had some treats to deliver. With all this extra time on his hands he has taken to baking. He had made popovers for his grandmother. If you have ever eaten popovers you know they are best rightContinue reading “1000 Piece Puzzle”

Running Together

The other day I went out to run stairs. It has been over a month of baking treats, eating sweets and  takeout. I have so enjoyed all those good things but now it’s definitely time to get back out! I knew I would be slow, I knew it would hurt a bit, I knew itContinue reading “Running Together”

Who decided this was a good idea?

That was the statement my daughter made last night. She’s in college now and obviously so mature. Her younger sister asked me to pierce her ears. Let me clarify, she has her ears pierced. Actually she has a double piercing already. So what I would be doing is putting in a triple pierce. We didContinue reading “Who decided this was a good idea?”

It’s a Circus

Our family had one of those “have to get out of the house” moments yesterday. We have really been social distancing well and the cooler weather last week in Minnesota really does make it easier. But the sun is now shining and the weather is nicer, which, unfortunately, makes staying at home a lot harder.Continue reading “It’s a Circus”

Church in the Living Room

We failed again. Last week our family attempted to watch an online church service. With high hopes, and feeling a little proud of ourselves, we all gathered around the television, turned on the service, and waited to feel like churchgoers! I imagined a Holy moment would take place. It was not very long before thingsContinue reading “Church in the Living Room”
