February

 we are 1 week into feb.... how did that happen? 



I haven't been updating my little corner of the world and now I worry there will be a whole missing piece between jan and feb 2022 :)

there's been lots of good days. its been the coldest jan since 2014 and i can feel that deep down in my bones. i'm sick of being cold, and i'm sick of talking about being cold... but i can't help it. im just cold. spring is going to feel like the biggest gift this year and i plan to embrace it wholeheartedly-- picinics outside, lots of porch sits, tons of park dates, all the morning vitamin d.

highlights of the last couple weeks include:

our january date which included happy hour at home while sigge napped and the kids were at school one friday. we just couldn't squeeze in an actual date and used up all our money for a babysitter at the beginning of the month for a church event. #planningfail. im still counting tho, because we intentionally put our phones away and hung out for a solid 2 hours. and it was GREAT


this past weekend we celebrated mike's 40th brithday with a surprise party at manger in bayport and a kidless night! whoop. kids were at my sisters and we stayed out until 11pm and didn't wake up until 7! then we hopped in the car to pick up a bed someone gave to us for lucy! she'll be in her OWN room soon and she cannot wait.... Barbies, writing desk, books and girly posters here we come!




I've finished 4 books so far, well on my way to 22 books in 2022. 

sigge turns 3 in 1 week and 1 day, and i turn 36 in 17 days. i love birthday month! i've been thinking about my list and what i want 36 to look like. it is going to be a REALLY good year. 

sten leaves for colorado tomorrow. i am so excited for him!!! 

cheers to fab-february and xo. edc.

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...
