I’m going with a solid, “neither!” answer for this one. I always say that I’m not a city mouse or a country mouse; I’m a suburb mouse. Reasons I don’t like cities: too few trees not enough green too few parking lots too many people/crowds too much noise Reasons I don’t love the country: I…
I wasn’t a particularly crush-heavy teenager. I didn’t have posters on my walls, I didn’t join fan clubs, and I definitely did not have any t-shirts with boys on them. But I do remember that when I saw Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken, I thought that the actor who played Al (Michael Schoeffling) was seriously…
This is easy! Far and away my favorite spot to visit was my grandparents’ little town in South Dakota. I don’t think most people would look at this little town and name it on their dream destination lists, but my goodness, I loved it. There are so many reasons this was a highlight of my…

This is a funny question because I have been a teacher in a lot of ways already in my life. I taught piano lessons for 20 years I’ve taught children’s Sunday School classes I’ve been homeschooling since 2004 I’ve been blogging since 2008, which is kind of like teaching So, although I haven’t been a…
I’m a pretty serious rule-follower, so it will not surprise you to hear that my run-ins with the police have not been numerous. In fact, I’ve only ever been pulled over one time. It was in 2004, when Sonia was a baby. I remember that I had had a particularly trying day; I don’t remember…
