I’ve always been a little obsessed with Valentine’s Day. I’m not sure if it’s the candy, the flowers, the colors, the romance, or a little bit of everything. Whatever it is, Valentine’s Day is just one of those special days of the year. We all need excuses to...

Can you believe it? Another Christmas is finally here. (Can’t you just hear those Charlie Brown kids singing, “Christmas time is here…”?) We’ve finished up the work of the year and we’re settling down with our families to relax and celebrate. We’re drinking hot cocoa...

It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays. A time for peace, rest, celebration, snow, and togetherness. It’s also a time for that list… you know the one. “He’s making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.” While children all around the...

Snow is a strange thing. It’s delicate yet sometimes dangerous. It’s beautiful but also painful. It covers everything yet disappears with a bit of sun (although not as easily up here in North Dakota!). And interestingly, it’s a creative medium as...

It’s that time of year… the season of pumpkin carving, monster masks, and multiple cases of overactive sweet tooth! But if you’re a little past the trick-or-treating age, don’t worry, you can still have some spooky fun this Halloween! My...
