LJC time.

So aware of my luck of getting to spend time with Lucy. And she likes hanging out with me too?! The boys went away on Friday night to put the dock in up at Bay Lake and all of Saturday was spent doing Saturday stuff with Lucy. We went out for breakfast, we did the grocery shopping and we went to some shops. Because: I think clothes are our love languages. Multiple times we acknowledged how much fun we were having together and on Saturday night Lucy said: it’s going to be so easy to say what my favorite part of the weekend was at school on Monday- bc it’s been this whole day with you. 

I haven’t been to Key’s in forever. But now I want to go back and order this “you build it omelette” again with sweet potatoes, goat cheese, spinach, avocado and bacon on repeat. I’ll be dreaming of this for weekends to come. 
Lucy got giant pancakes and loved them so much. 

We played a few rounds of Qwirkle and I forgot how fun this game is. Especially when the sun is shining on the table. 
Prepped food Sunday and then went to IF Table and out with a couple friends after and the theme was “rest” and prepping food and being with friends is a form of rest for me. 

It’s Tuesday already and it’s a good week. I feel on top of things and even tho my calendar is full I feel grateful for the basic stuff. Food. Family. Friends. And THIS song on repeat.

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...
