Another proud parent moment--the Middle Spawn (AKA youngest Pajari Girl) is blogging!! And the title of her blog is... Musings of an Intellectual Badass. Because we Pajari Girls are the perfect blend of brains and brass. 🙂 A self-proclaiming LOTR nerd, her post on Lord of the Rings memes is bahahaha funny. Go say hi,... Continue Reading →
Frost
Here in northern MN, bitching about the weather and the 9-month-long winter is a sport, a hobby, a point of pride, and a way of life. It wasn't really working for me, though. I have found that hating things I have no control over hurts me a lot more than the thing I am hating.... Continue Reading →
Another Treasure
I first found this old jar full of rose petals several years ago, while cleaning out my grandparents' basement. I vaguely remember placing it on the shelf between the two giant sets of doors that Grampa Ralph drove his school bus through. A few months ago, I stumbled across it again. Mr. Wonderful and I...

I have been getting a lot of questions about the changes to my house last fall. (I live very close to one of the main roads in the area, so a lot of people drive by on their way to work, school, or their vacation homes.) "Who are those guys, and what are you doing... Continue Reading →

You brighten my winter, too. 🙂 The big gravel pit banks looked kind of intimidating to the 5 year-old, so I broke... Continue Reading →
Um…What the #*@! just happened??
I just got off the phone with my friend informally adopted sister and Official Pajari Girl Melanie. She and her sister Jody had mentioned the community play earlier in the week, and I said I would think about it and get back to them. That was a lie....I was buying time to form a loving,...

One of my latest self-discoveries was that hating winter doesn't make it shorter, and it certainly doesn't make me any happier. So, after making ice candles, candle rings, and ice gems/marbles, I went hunting for more crafty ideas on Pinterest and found this genius named Tracy Lynn Conway who had pinned ice sun catchers using...

Have you ever made a New Year’s Resolution that you kept?
Thanks to The Daily Prompt for this little nugget. It's a great question. And I've kept one resolution that I made 21 years ago, while pregnant with Eldest Spawn. I was 16, pregnant, and terrified. I was in college, so I was smart enough to know that this could be very, very bad, for me,... Continue Reading →
2012 in Review
