I don’t know why I love moose, but I do. I mean, I don’t want one for a pet or anything, but they are awfully cute! My husband (then my boyfriend) and I went to Colorado 15 years ago, so I could “meet the parents” who were vacationing there. We stayed just inside Rocky Mountain… Continue reading For the Love of Moose!

My kids counted more than 100 lightning strikes as we ate dinner tonight. It was the perfect storm to sit and watch. The lightning cascaded down the sky, but the thunder remained distant enough that no one was brought to tears. In the words of my daughter, “It’s like watching white fireworks.” They really enjoyed… Continue reading The Perfect Storm
There are so many times I struggle with priorities. I try to simplify life, but I’ve got many irons in the fire and it’s hard to do. Which thing should I be devoting myself to? Am I doing too much?
