2014 Dreams With Deadlines on the North Dakota Prairie

Filed Under: Family Values, Life in North Dakota Tagged With: family, family fun, holidays, ice fishing, North Dakota, prairie 1 Comment

First sunset North Dakota sunset of 2014Welcome 2014. A new year is as white and clean as the North Dakota prairie snow. A new year brings us cheer and new paths to journey. With the sunrise on a new day in a new year, I feel energy for a new day. With the sunset, I feel rest and renewal to keep going after big dreams with deadlines. 

We talked about our New Year goals and dreams today around the fire at our cozy cabin on the prairie.

Family Table ChatWe ventured onto the lake for our first family ice fishing outing.

But we have a path to follow. 

Antique snowshoes

I might even pull down the old snowshoes I once bought and have always wanted to try to find my way in the new year. However, you travel to find your way, the journey is fresh. The trek will be new. Make the most it.

And don’t forget to have fun along the way.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
