I was just waiting … waiting for my husband to finally come around to a mini van rather than an SUV. He researched which SUV we were going to get. Figured out our possible monthly payments. Decided which dealership we’d buy from – and I supported his hard work. I thought – I could do […]

Good news from the Hansen household! There’s going to be a new addition. Roman Frederick will be Everett’s little brother and his ETA is August 28th. Now that I’m of ‘Advanced Maternal Age’ things are a little more achey and I’m a little slower, but I’m so happy and feel very blessed to be able […]

There’s an author who once said something that has stuck with me for years. “Please be responsible for the energy you bring into this space.” I love that and think of it often. So, I’m well aware that I’m about to bring negative energy into this space, but this winter can kiss my butt! Oh […]

Loss and grief are two powerful, powerful forces. They can grip your gut and take you down in a moment’s notice. And it doesn’t matter if your loss was 10 days ago or 10 years ago. Grief has a way of sticking around to haunt you in your lonliest times, but it can also empower you to do […]

Everett started Toddler Time at Monona Grove Nursery School (same place that my siblings and I went.) We finally got the dang carpets cleaned. Two dogs and a cat that we’ve managed to keep healthy and happy. My brother and Julie got married! My grandma Hansen turned 92! The furnace and both our cars pooped out on […]
