I was not one of those people who always assumed they would have kids. I mean, when I was younger, I loved my big family and figured I would have a big family, too. But then I went to college and I fell in love with learning. And I chased that dream for more than … Continue reading
Hello friends. It’s been a long time. I’m not even sure any of you are still out there, but just in case you are, I’m here. As I mentioned in my last post, when we lost Papa, I lost my way. For a long, long time, I didn’t feel like writing. Or being silly or … Continue reading
It’s no secret that I love wood-burning fireplaces. My parents have one and it has always been one of my favorite things about their house. So when we started looking at houses, a fireplace was on the list. Iowa gets cold in the winter–below zero, with dangerous wind chills and a long, long winter season. … Continue reading
I’ve managed to repair some of the damage done to my blog, restoring photos for most of last year. The greater loss is from 2012, during which I was much more diligent at blogging. As I was reuploading photos, I found some wonderful reminders of the trials and triumphs of 2013. In January, we traveled … Continue reading

Yeah, so, about that… Last weekend, we went to Nebraska to … Continue reading
This weekend, my parents came to visit. They almost never come, because doing so requires a relief pharmacist. And there are only a handful of relief pharmacists in rural Nebraska, and even fewer who want to work Saturdays. A weekend off is an exceedingly rare thing for them. So I was pretty stoked when they … Continue reading
I love to do stuff on the weekend. Shopping, cooking, baking, driving, looking at houses, exploring. I spend all week cooped up and on the weekend, I just want to do fun things to recharge my battery after a long week of work. Mr. Phish also likes to do stuff on the weekend, but his … Continue reading
Silence on the blog can only mean one thing…BABY TIME!! Blogosphere, meet my darling Tater. She arrived Thursday night, and I held her when she was barely an hour old. She is exquisite. The only thing more amazing than this tiny bug is her sister’s exuberant love for her. Every other word out of her … Continue reading
