A marriage from 1975

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: family, marriage, milestones 1 Comment

A long marriage is rare in America. I think it’s worth pausing to celebrate the healthy, long marriages in our lives. Today my parents celebrate 42 years of marriage. They share a relationship my husband and I have often looked to as an example to model in our own marriage. My mom through the years has blogged with thousands of pictures on…

Mauer came home, not as we hoped

Filed Under: DogLife Tagged With: Mauer 24 Comments

Mauer, our missing yellow labrador retriever, came home tonight, not in the way we hoped. His remains were found locally by five kids who spotted what they thought was a large rock near the edge of our small town lagoon. Then one realized it was “Pinke’s dog” and they retrieved his body and pulled him to land before going to call…

Taking time for a Big Sky family ski adventure

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: family, family fun, kids, travel 1 Comment

I was 27 years old before I ever skied in the mountains at Big Sky, Montana. Most of my skiing was cross-country on the North Dakota prairie which I still love to do. But as a flat lander, I have a deep appreciation and love for visiting the mountains for downhill skiing.  I took a couple of skiing lessons to…

Keeping my faith for a next generation

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: faith, family Leave a Comment

I’m sharing a Sunday reflection on my faith as I found the below picture yesterday looking for a picture for my cousin’s birthday. I’m guessing it’s about 1986 at Sundahl Lutheran in Aneta, North Dakota.  Today many of us are still connected from this faith foundation and community. I counted at least 10 in this picture are Facebook friends of…

Rest and mental health

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: mental health, prairie life, rural life 1 Comment

I am home after having surgery on Tuesday, resting and healing. This morning I needed some fresh air and took the girls to school and then watched my dogs run around outside. I snapped the above picture as the sun rose in the east. For the next month, I am laying low. I have a couple of “nice to be…

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.
