well. here we are. the december wrap up post. the truth is, i could have completed this a few days ago, because not much noteworthy stuff has happened since christmas. i was holding out for an epic new year, but then i went to bed at 10:30, so no epicness was had. unless you count […]
lid kid everyday life
two christmasses, twentytwenty.
we made it to christmas in 2020! it’s been a year, right? when our thanksgiving plans were ruined by some covid spiking, and then things just kept getting worse, i assumed that there was no way we would be celebrating our traditional “swedish” christmas with grandlidboms and madge. but, the grandlidboms pulled it off. we […]
gingerbread house party.
as i prepared for our annual gingerbread house decorating festival, i made the executive decision to forego the store bought house kits and went with graham cracker homes instead. i acquired an extremely ridiculous amount of decor items over the weeks leading up to the decorating party, so i figured we might as well share […]
hazel is seven!!!!
i don’t know how it all went by so quickly, but the baby hazelnut turned seven this month. seven! even though we were thick in the stupid post thanksgiving covid spike, we were determined to make her day epic. we kicked things off with gramma and grampa dropping off a special delivery of duck donuts, […]

august 2020. sigh.
these covid days and weeks and months just keep running together. taking forever, but sort of weirdly flying by. aside from our trip to the smokies and starting homeschool, our august was pretty boring. so here’s a brief tale about the happenings. firstly. the garden. it’s been a very strange year. i only ended up […]
monthly non-adventure post, july edition.
another month of pandemic life has come and gone. things are still sort of opened, but now cases are back on the increase, so no one knows what to make of anything anymore. it’s madness. but somehow, the month still managed to fly by, maybe because we are used to it at this point. all […]
june. sigh. in quarantine-ish.
