Day 336: Heated Seats

Hey hey! Heated leather seats for the win!

It's not even cold yet, by North Dakota winter standards. It's been hovering around 30 here, but I am already sick of cold. I do lots and lots of buckling and unbuckling and loading and unloading, having 3 car-seat-sized kids in a third-floor apartment. Me thinks it's going to be a long winter.

I've lived about 18 of my 20 years of driving (20, whaaaaa?) without autostart, and I think I can still manage. However, my last two cars have had heated seats and it's such a nice treat. I will not take them for granted.

  1. I'll take your heated seats and raise you a heated steering wheel!!! The accessory I admittedly thought 'oh, for stupid' upon the salesman mentioning it, is my new favorite thing, ever! I'm colder as I get older, and it really is the little things in life! :)

Day 149: Date with Mom

Mom and I slipped away yesterday afternoon for a trip to town. We had a relaxing couple of hours away from all the chaos at the lake. We shopped, drove around town chatting, I visited the sacrament of reconciliation, and we picked up my favorite small-town pizza joint pizza for supper. I love my hometown so much, but don't spend much time there anymore now that my parents live at the lake. I enjoyed cruising around town catching up on the changes and updates. Mom caught me up on local news, and I accidentally bought a dress, two shirts and a travel mug. That type of thing happens when I hang with my mom, but that's OK!  It was a wonderful afternoon and I'm grateful for our little escape. 

I Am A Blogger: CWBN 2017 Recap

The last weekend in March I had the great pleasure of attending a real life blogging conference! Like a real blogger! Cathedral of St. Paul Jacqui ,  Anna  and  Susanna  hosted the Catholic Women's Blogging Network Twin Cities get together at a stunning Summit Avenue mansion in St. Paul. Thirty-some wonderful Catholic women from the Twin Cities, the Midwest, and even Maryland joined up to talk blogging and really just to support each other and build each other up. My friend Monica encouraged me to go, and I signed up on a bit of a whim, figuring that if I paid for registration I'd be more inclined to go. If I didn't have a mutual friend link to one of the organizers, and if a couple of my most favoritest bloggers hadn't been speakers, I'd probably have chickened out.  In response to my evident nerves on the way, my husband wisely mused, "Well, if you're going to walk into a group of people you don't know, this is probably the best group yo...

Day 305: That's What Neighbors Are For

Here's one of my little elves and Santa trick- or-treating at Frontier Village. Not exactly related to today's gratitude, but proof that we did Halloween. I'm so distracted by the World Series, but I don't want to fall too far behind again!  Monday's gratitude was for the kindness of neighbors. Specifically David and Mary. My husband leaves early for work and about an hour later, I usher everyone outside to get #1 to school Well, Monday morning we discovered that the minivan was dead. Super dead. I couldn't get a hold of my spouse; it turned out he was offsite so not checking his phone or email. We don't really know anyone in town I could call for a situation such as this. Things happened, thoughts were thought, and I eventually knocked on the door of our elderly(ish) neighbors two floors down to see if he could jump my van. I knew he had a truck and would likely be able to help me, but aside from saying hello, we'd not met. Well, my pal Davi...
