This fall I contacted the talented Hannah of Stonehouse Photo to do family photos. I envisioned a warm, sunny day along the shores of Lake Superior with vivid red maples and golden oaks gently blowing in the background creating a backdrop Hallmark would envy. I should have known better. Instead, Lake Superior dealt up an…… Continue reading The Ugly Truth: My Real Year-in-Review

Dear Jake
Dear Jake, I don’t scrapbook. I’ve discovered, despite my love for writing, I’m horrible at keeping up your baby book. But, like any new mom I managed to take lots of photos. I slapped them together in this video just in time for your birthday. I hope someday you can watch this and know you…… Continue reading Dear Jake
Jacob Time
Jacob William Probst of Moon Lake here. I hijacked mom’s blog again. This is a big week. I turn 1. More importantly, I’ve been promised a chocolate cupcake. It’s all about perspective folks. So much has happened in the past year. I’m not sure where to start. In a nutshell, we’re still operating on what…… Continue reading Jacob Time
Eighteen Years and Counting

The wild blueberries in Bayfield County are bountiful this summer. And, thanks to having a husband who spends most of his time driving the…… Continue reading Berry Picking, Bare Feet, and Three Strange Men in an Ambulance
Pickles and Moms: The two have more in common than you think
The stringent smell of boiling vinegar makes me want to gag. Growing up, it was an annual tradition in our house signaling the end of summer and the start to canning season. I loathed it. I loathed the smell, the humid stagnant kitchen air, and the realization that my carefree, responsibility free life and escapades…… Continue reading Pickles and Moms: The two have more in common than you think
Surprise! My Journey to Motherhood…
My life in 90 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgVZXD2WYyE&feature=youtu.be This is in fact one of the worst kept secrets of all-time for me. I guess it isn’t so much that it is a secret but rather an odd thing to share beyond my close circle of friends and colleagues who need to know from a planning standpoint. However,…… Continue reading Surprise! My Journey to Motherhood…
