Wow! You ladies sure have given this chore system a lot of thought! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with me. I’ve read and reread all the comments. I researched all the links. I’ve made lists and tallies and charts. And I’ve come up with a system to try. For now. It’s a little …
I’m not sure how you found me but thank you, Emily Jensen, for featuring my “Someday…” post as your Mini Moment in today’s Deseret News Mormon Times Bloggernacle. I’m giddy! Have a wenderful weekend!
I never thought I’d have boys. They are all completely different and extraordinary and challenging and perplexing and fascinating in their own ways. One of them could spend the entire day at home making Legos and claymation movies. One thinks the ideal school day would involve NO recess. And the last one breathes, dreams, and …
Yeah! Our good friends from California meandered their way past the farmsteads and pastures to visit us this weekend. We gave them a tour of our “quaint” town and talked, and talked, and talked.

I’ve never been so thankful for HEAT than I have this week. I knew Idaho was cold, but Holy Toledo! I didn’t realize just how frigid it is here! I drove to Costco yesterday afternoon for my monthly trip to pick up a case of toilet paper and a bag of uncooked tortillas. Two hours …
Ralf’s parents were here this weekend for a pre Christmas celebration. Charlotte and I went through the bag of old photos collected from Ralf’s grandmother in Vienna. Holy Toldeo, there are a lot of fascinating stories to be told! I affectionately refer to these people as “the boat people” because they look to me like …
