Fort building

Filed Under: Uncategorized 3 Comments

Boys like to build forts. Even 11 year old big boys. Snow forts are most common in the winter. Tree forts in the summer. Indoor forts work too. Last weekend Hunter gathered up quilts and blankets and random chairs and built a fort in his room–and SLEPT in it overnight. Because that is what boys do. Sleep on hard flooring in their fort, rather than sleep in their comfy bed less than two feet away from them.

    Oh how I loved my fort-building days. Wouldn’t want to sleep on Hunter’s floor though. My joints hurt thinking about it.

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.
