lately.

It’s Easter week. I just am realizing I never got out my decorations. Is it too late? I think not, I will do that this afternoon. 
It’s early and my house is quiet. I am usually out running at this time and decided my body needs a little break this week, so I am giving myself just that. I like quiet mornings. Gives me a chance to focus on what I want my days to look like and sip my coffee slowly. Mornings feel so fleeting. And normally I want to pack everything in. It feels nice to not have an agenda. I started an Easter Bible plan and will take time this week to focus on this important week. It should really be my main priority as someone who believes in the power of the resurrection, and yet too often, it gets pushed to the back- out of sight. 
Here’s some things lately: 

I made sourdough over the weekend and my loaf FINALLY turned out. I’ve had many duds lately. I’m not sure what I did, except for buying my flour at the co-op. So I will do that from now on. 


What a mood huh? I was running on Thursday, thinking about how it was such a nice day until I turned the corner and WOW. I did get wet and there was something so great about running in the rain.

The cutest little baker-helper there ever was. This guy is an instant pick me up. The brightest spot in a dreary day, and the ultimate cuddler. I reallllllly don't want him to grow up.

What a dream of a morning. Love these running friends of mine.

Sten last-minute filled in for a band that cancelled on Friday night and the kids and I had the best time-  playing trivia! Seriously, we are all so into it. The place filled up with families of small children and it was like watching us 8 years ago. Trying to keep your kids entertained while still hanging out with friends, meanwhile your baby is crawling along the brewery floor... it was fun to see and fun to remember those good times as my current life looks vastly different. 


My class loves being outside. We spent so many hours outside on Friday. I got the chalk out, we went for a nature hike... I feel lucky that I get to scrap plans and head outside, where learning and creativity flourish! (also, totally missed the R in SPRING) lol

I am so ready for these warmer temps. I don't think I can take one more day in the 30's. Like for real. I am ready for sun kissed cheeks, and endless time in the backyard and walks around the neighborhood. My body kind of failed on me Saturday. I ran my big long run in the morning and then just totally went downhill after that. I ended up in bed for 15 hours in and out of sleep the whole time. I think I just need to take it easy this week-- so that's what I'll do. Cook good food, get extra sleep and slow down. 

35 school days left.
41 days until Sugar Badger.
BOOM!

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...
