I have a confession. I got home from my youngest son’s Blue and Gold banquet about 2 1/2 hours ago, and the goal was to come straight up to my computer to get this post ready. But I have become completely distracted by a photo of a dress that most of you have probably…
Slipping on Ice – Recreating the Viral Video
I kid you not. After I had fallen flat on my butt not once but twice before I made it to the cross walk at the back of the elementary school, the crossing guard mentioned that I reminded her of the “slipping on ice” viral video she had seen the night before. She described…
Enjoy the Moment, With Snow and All
Guest post by Katja Presnal I laughed at the snowy day post last week, because I love snow! In fact, skiing in Colorado is one of my favorite things to do in the entire world, that’s why I named my lifestyle brand “skimbaco”, combining a Finnish slang word “skimba” meaning skis and skiing, and…
The 5-Day Weekend {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
The other day, I posted this quote on my Facebook page: I loved the idea of the quote, even though I never had a snow day growing up in California. I imagine I would have loved snow days for the same reason I love them now – the chance to sleep in and stay…

Another week gone by, another memory card filled with pictures of food. This week, I’ve been busy baking all of my traditional Christmas treats: caramels, English toffee, Minty cookies, butterscotch bars, fudge… And yes, all of the recipes were posted or linked earlier this week. That’s what I’m all about, you know. And so…
First Snow Day of the Year {PSF- Give Me Your Best Shot}
It was rather amusing to see my kids’ reactions to the snow this week. On Sunday, when we were sent home early from church so that we wouldn’t get stuck away from home when the storm was at it’s worse, the kids were almost indifferent. When we realized that school would be cancelled for…
Morning Inspiration – Wordless Wednesday
It has been COLD here lately, but the snow has been nearly non-existent, which means that the view most mornings when I walk the kids to school is quite drab. A few days ago, we had a light dusting of snow overnight. The snow was uncommonly dry (our snow here is always wet and mushy)….
