Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Father’s Day!

​It has been a very busy weekend, with dance recitals and Father’s Day and prepping for a big week next week! 

Maya’s last Lake Harriet Dance Recital was wonderful and sad.  Ms. Connie is retiring and we will miss her. 


Luna and I enjoyed a quiet morning on the porch before Chris and the girls woke up. 

He got a new t-shirt!


We spent the rest of the day busy around the house, and then went out to a rooftop dinner.


Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful men in our lives. We miss my dad today and everyday, but are grateful for the time we did have with him. 

Have a great week.

Summer Week 2

​Hi all! It was a busy week! Maya helped out with almost all her cousins at Boom’s house on Monday. 


Cal, Maya and Alex played games together on a rainy day while Luna’s face was cute and naughty.


It’s dance recital weekend! So Maya had dress rehearsal yesterday.


We have recitals tonight and tomorrow night. It’s the last ever Lake Harriet Dance recital, as Ms. Connie is retiring and the studio is closing. It will be so sad! But we are so grateful for all the fun memories and all the dancing we have done (and will continue to do time to do).

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

​Well you guys. This is slowly turning into my own personal blog, which an or be very interesting, but teenage mom life is so different from toddler or elementary mom life. Like, I rarely see them! 😭😅

So here’s MY weekend in pictures. They were both busy either working or with Alex (Callie) or having 2 different friends over back to back days (Maya). 

My mom, sisters and I went to a wine tasting on Saturday and it was DELIGHTFUL. 



I spent today cleaning like crazy because I’m having 9 coworkers over for a deck dinner! The girls and Chris are off doing various things so I have had a quiet house and time to prep. I love summer!

Have a great week!

Summer Week 1

​Happy Friday! Week 1 of summer is done and as I was going through the pics I realized that I don’t have any of Cal, because she was usually off doing something…it’s a new phase. 

But I started the week determined to find a porch goose. Don’t ask, just enjoy the photos of my journey. And meet Gertie.


Other things from the week:



Today is my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, so of course I woke up to this:


Maya and I met my mom at the Bakken Museum and then had a lovely lunch and ice cream!



Have a lovely weekend!
