Creative Genes

 Everyone in my family is creative in their own way, they all can sew including my Dad. I wanted to give a shout out to two of my talented siblings.

 If you have kids or know somebody who's having one my big sis makes handmade items for your special little someone. This tie bib is just too cute. She also does non-kid items.  Most of things she makes are made with scrap fabric that would otherwise be thrown away. My crafty dad even helps out with the looms. You can check out fun tips and upcoming sales at her blog here.

My little brother is away at his first year of college up in Duluth, studying photography. He's also started a photo diary documenting his adventures up there. I thought I'd seen everything there is to do in Duluth, but he's proven there's plenty to do and see.

I won't see that money for another month which means no time off for a Christmas break. I have to wait a few more days to find out if I even get Christmas Eve off.

Plus we don't have a tree or any decorations and we haven't had any snow yet. I did get a Christmas present from Menards, 55 dollars in Menards money and this. In two weeks someone I love and care about very deeply will be in London for 5 months and I only get to see hi...

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

By
Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
