New table. YES!


New table- Thank you Carlson side of the family! Please come over, we have LOTS of space!

Well. Its a good day, thats for sure. I have a lot to blog about! First of all here is where I am on my list

- Run my 10 miles. -- check
- Do some laundry -- half check
- Blog -- check
- Make cards and write some letters
- Use my crock-pot for the FIRST time! -- check
- Spring clean? -- half check
- Target run -- check
- Talk to Emily over her lunch break

I would say I got a pretty good start on my day! I already wrote about the bread I made yesterday- and Sten said I shouldn't blog twice in one day, but- this is MY blog, hence the title erica danielle. So I think I can do whatever I want. I wanted to share some highlights of my day:
- Bought the new Hillsong CD Aftermath sooo good. Love every song so far.
- Coffee with Julie M and Sten
- Picked up my dry cleaning from North Park Cleaners-- very impressed!
- Threw orange zest and the juice, chipotles in adobo sauce, garlic and pork shoulder (?) in my crockpot and I wish you could come over, because the most wonderful smell is coming outta that thing soon to be "Chipotle and Orange Pork Tacos". Can't wait for dinner.
- Set our new table about 3 different ways. Please come over for a meal. We absolutely adore this new addition to our home.

We were so excited last night that we stayed up until Sten finished putting every piece together. I am already starting to play out memories in my head around this table. Dinner parties with friends. Coffee and biscotti and brunch. High chairs and bumbos and booster chairs. Cookie making. Crafting. Easter egg dying. Pumpkin carving. Thanksgiving feasts. Christmas tea. Birthday celebrations. Dice, cards and board games.... There is something really special about a table and this one is officially ours. It's not a hand me down, or something we have to give back. It's just ours.

Back to work tomorrow. I wish I could be a housewife and bake and cook and blog all day.... Someday....
xoxo

    i don't think blogging twice in one day is a bad thing, just maybe not with in 45 second of each other!!

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
