I learned that . . .
. . . one night makes all the difference!
. . . sunny warm weather with icy snow on Thursday can turn into cool cloudy weather with awesome powder on Friday.
. . . I will never tire of driving over Wolf Creek Pass, especially if we’re headed to the Hot Springs [...]

What I Learned Over Spring Break Part II - 03/18/10
I learned that . . .
. . . in addition to the size of the hotel room, my kids base the niceness of a hotel on the content of the free continental breakfast. Apparently a hotel rocks if it has one of those cool flipping waffle makers . . . and blueberry muffins.

We Boycotted The Super Bowl
The Vikings or Packers weren’t in the Super Bowl, so we headed up to the mountains on Super Bowl Sunday. We figured we’d have a double good chance of a slow day up there - the Super Bowl would take some people and it was Sunday, always slower. The bonus was that it had snowed [...]
I’m Just So Happy!
The fam went snowboarding/skiing last weekend. Beautiful day. Good times were had by all. Even though Princess could get down the hill twice as fast as the rest of us, she chooses to follow me “so she doesn’t get lost.” On one of our first runs, she is squealing and whooping and hollering all the way [...]

I am so excited to be leaving tomorrow to visit family for 2 whole weeks to celebrate the Christmas holiday. As I prepare to leave, I can’t help but think of those who will be celebrating without all of their family members present. Even though we are not military, we live in [...]
Ice Fishing? Seriously?
As you may or may not know, I spent the first 23 years of my life in MN. That would explain my hatred of all things small that buzz around your head while you’re trying to sleep and my love of that fluffy white stuff that falls from the sky.
I now reside in the lovely [...]
Lucky Ducks
They don’t quack, but my kids are LUCKY! They just got home from a two-week vacation in MN - one week alone with two sets of grandparents and one week with me and Hubby there.
Lucky to have grandparents that love them and are young enough to have the kids stay with them during the summer [...]
Weekend Recap
I finally took over the domain for my blog. I’ve always been the one who blogged here, but did not own the domain. But now it’s mine - woo hoo! I also switched hosting services . . . the bummer is that I lost some comments due to the timing of a post and the [...]
Frigid and Fun
Two words that describe our weekend
We headed to Breckenridge after school/work on Friday to hang out and play for the weekend. We stayed in Vail Friday night . . . took us 3 hours to get there with the snow and icy roads, but we made it!
Up Saturday to head to Breckenridge for [...]
How Can They Do This?
Nebraska’s safe-haven law is in the news a lot lately. It was drafted with the best of intentions, but was executed very poorly. So far, 34 children have been abandoned at hospitals in Nebraska . . . many in Omaha since it is very close to the border of a number of other states. The [...]
