Looking back on 2018

December 31, 2018 By Kelly

Looking back on 2018 it has been quiet here. In fact since 2016 it has been pretty quiet here, but this year in particular brought with it a load of change that was wonderful and hard. 2018 was the year of change for us. Side note: I say “us” because we are a team, and […]

Minnesota Nice

August 24, 2016 By Kelly

It’s a bit of a joke that people in Minnesota are ‘Minnesota nice.’ They’re polite, reserved, and mild mannered. Which if you know anything about Philadelphia is about as 180 as you can get from Philly attitude. It’s a bit stereotypical obviously, but I find it to be true that Minnesotans are nice. They’re friendly, […]

What would you tell your 18 year old self?

December 9, 2015 By Kelly 7 Comments

Yesterday my oldest child turned 18. 18. Officially an adult. Oof. I think everyone expects that to mean he’s suddenly a young adult, but adulting doesn’t work that way. It’s not a switch you turn on all of the sudden -blink- and you’re an adult. In fact I’m pretty sure you know exactly what I […]

How To Get Your Kids To Do Chores

August 5, 2015 By Kelly

Chores and kids don’t always mix.

How To Help Your Family Make Healthier Choices

June 27, 2015 By Kelly

My husband and I have been working hard to make healthier choices together. We both aspire to be healthier so we can keep up with our kids (and the dog!) and ensure that we’re around for years to come. Making healthier choices isn’t always easy, but we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) that unhealthy choices have […]

Summer “Vacation”

Summer vacation has begun! The kids are thrilled, of course. I’m thrilled that homework is over, end of school year parties and celebrations are done, and there’s no more long morning routine.

Broken Toe Update: Getting Personal

April 6, 2015 By Kelly Leave a Comment

As I’ve shared previously I broke my little toe on my left foot. I hit it on the molding between our kitchen and front hall while hopping over the baby gate we use to keep the puppy away from the front door. I don’t even know how I did it-just that it hurt like h-e-double […]
