Eloise brought home a note from school a few weeks ago. It read something like… “Parents, we are organizing a week of special classes for the kids that you will teach! Please fill-out this form with what you would like to offer as a special class for the week. We love that you have special…
I’ll tell you what makes you know. you feel. you be. a mother. It’s taking a solo vacation with your kids. I always used to say that taking a vacation with kids is not really a vacation..it’s just parenting on location. And it’s so true. I also admit that I’ve taken…
My funk is officially ending as I’m getting on a plane in about 12 hours to Florida. It’s just me and the three girls. I attempted to get all of our clothing for a week into one suitcase. Now that was funny. Especially when there are 15 pairs of shoes to bring. …
Esther came home last week with her glasses smashed. She’s newly seven and slightly oblivious to things, so in her defense she had “no idea how this could even happen!” Which was actually fine with me because truthfully I never liked her old glasses that much. And this gave us an excuse to…
Well hello there. You all probably thought that after my 1000th post I retired with my $1 and my Starbucks coffee mug into the mom bloggers archives. Or what I like to call…the bar. Or my couch with glass of pinot noir and Downton Abbey on continual play. But no, I’m still here doing…
Do you live in the Twin Cities and are you ready for a fun mom’s(or dad’s) night out or maybe a fun date this week? Then leave the kids at home and join me for a special advanced screening of the movie ‘Friends With Kids’ the evening of Thursday, March 8th at Southdale Theaters …
1. Rent out one of the oldest alleys in your town. 2. Husband realizes that his old alley doesn’t have computerized scoring. Has no idea how to score bowling. Oh those snobby New Englanders who attended the opera whilst us hearty Midwesterners were either getting lucky in the back of an Oldsmobile or bowling. Or…
Esther came into this world very suddenly. The last thing I remember before her birth was yelling at my doctor that I WILL HAVE THIS CHILD NATURALLY and my doctor yelling back to me IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A CHILD AT ALL YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME. And with a quick IV and a…
We are busy preparing for Esther’s 7th birthday celebration on Sunday. She’s having a ‘Butterfly Birthday Party” in a bowling alley. Don’t ask. Honestly I’m a big fan of fancy home parties but the fact that I don’t have to clean my house today does kind of make me very, very happy. …
My camera rested this week. Michelle and I took a few pictures in Salt Lake last weekend and she even, maybe, got me over my fear of photo-editing and Photoshop. Someday. Someday I will feel I could actual edit a photo. Grow-up, Tracy. So iPhone -o-matic again. I know – you’re sick of my…
Eloise came home from school one day very upset. A girl in school had asked her ‘what she was’ and by ‘what are you’ the girl meant ‘what religion’ – because as the girl made quite clear to Eloise ‘you have to be something – you can’t be just nothing’ and when Eloise responded again…

I find myself in Utah for four days enjoying an incredibly beautiful family and their friends. I’m even going to church for three hours tomorrow. I know. Who am I.(But it’s nice to have an excuse to wear a new dress and shoes..not that I know anyone who owns either of those.;) …
I’ve had these fun Valentine’s Day Cards on my to-do list ever since Dana posted about it last year. I’ve seen them done a lot lately but have yet to see anyone do it at our school…so I believe we will be pretty unique. We had a ball making these. And we are so happy…
Hey Mom, what does LMFAO stand for? (A sidenote to my mother and mother-in-law here..LMFAO is a band) It’s like LOL – you know Laughing Out Loud – just even more laughing. But what do the exact letters stand for? Well…Laughing My Fricking Arse Off is what it really means. But the Fricking…
Jed bought the girls a small motorcycle to share. I get that motorcycling is kind of important and I am totally down with the girls learning to ride. I used to ride and just sold my bike this Summer because we needed a new washer and dryer. Turns out that I have a…
So I didn’t really take any pictures this week. A few quick shots with my phone will have to do. Basically what I did this week: 1. Cleaned my house(read shoved toys in closets, under beds and in the office and closed the door. perhaps vacuumed) 2. Made a bundt cake. I have no…
