I’m still surprised.
Posted in Family Life, Kids, Reflection on September 13, 2011
I don’t know why, really, but I’m always surprised when something pops up that I actually sort of expected to happen along the way. The latest surprise smacked me in the face this morning when I decompressed with my kids from their weekend away. We talked things through in such a civilized manner when I […]
working it out
Posted in Uncategorized on September 7, 2011
I haven’t been posting about my workouts/health/nutrition lately. There might be a reason. There’s usually a reason I don’t post about things. Most of the time it has to do with discouragement or crisis or frustration or something of that sort. Yeah. I’m there. I’m loving my workouts, really. I have to say that. I […]
The Wedding
Posted in Uncategorized on September 4, 2011
So this weekend, there’s this wedding. I’m coordinating it. It is making me laugh. And cry. And scream a little bit. It’s funny how when you watch a wedding from the pews and think about how beautiful everything is and how wonderful the celebration is and how beautiful everyone looks and how wonderful the bride […]
So, it’s been…like…months
Posted in All About Mindy, Life on September 1, 2011
I know. I really do. But, you see, life just keeps barreling on. Things keep happening. Things that keep me away from my blog for mostly good reasons. Things like a week spent camping in a tent with my kids. During which I spent 23 hours at home, baking, decorating, and repairing crashed cakes. Yep. My […]

Nick
Posted in Uncategorized on July 2, 2011
I got a call this morning from my Momma…I almost always love calls from my Momma…it’s just the nature of who she is and who we are. This morning’s call…I could have lived without. When we moved away from Rochester 13 years ago, I gladly came “home.” Though I had never lived in the town, […]
Fishing
Posted in Uncategorized on June 30, 2011
I took my kids fishing today. Alone. I’ve never been fishing alone in my life. I have always relied upon the expertise of my father or whatever other man was there to tell me what lure to use, how to bait the hook, how to cast the line, how to get the hook out of […]

Have you seen the show on…I don’t even know what channel it’s on…Nick?…Destroy Build Destroy? I mean, I don’t really blame you if you haven’t. It’s irritatingly tween-ish. My son totally loves it. Because seriously. They BLOW STUFF UP. And swim in gunk. And walk on quicksand. And cool boy stuff like that. The thing […]
