Dear Lindsey,
original letter (2/26/12): I am so worried! Three months ago, Nate (11) was asked to be a guest-player at a very high level soccer tournament in Virginia 12 days from now. Although twice as many apply, only 350 teams are allowed to compete in this nationally ranked weekend.

Dear Lindsey,
I love it when my children say random sentences. They are like little gifts of smiles for me
Random Thoughts
from God. These were so random! I mean, picture a child sitting at the kitchen table coloring, and out pops the thought, “God can see your underwear.” So funny! I only wish I had had access to a pen every time, before their funny words slipped my mind. Feel free to share any from your own children in the comments section. Here are some favorites I remember:
– “If you didn’t have lips, you couldn’t say ‘p,’ you could only say, ‘t’.”
– “I think this is when tornadoes like to come out.”
– In a prayer, “Dear God, Sorry I sometimes say ‘yuk’ when the food comes.”
– “Are honeymoons fun?”
– “You have to love everyone. Even the evil-est 80-yr-old lady.”
– “God can see your underwear.”
– “Wouldn’t it be cool if pigs laid eggs?”
– “Why does everyone want to see Old Faithful? Who cares about volcanoes?”
I hope your day is full of smiles! -Terri

My cousin Susan, to whom I refer as my only sister, gave me this recipe in a cookbook called Colorado Cache, published by the Junior League of Denver. I immediately opened to this recipe, since I knew her version of it well. My mother makes it and freezes it by the Continue reading
Dear Lindsey,
Trying to get out the door for travel soccer for my older two has always been a challenge- especially when my younger two were toddlers.
Once on the way out the door, I heard a cry, “Mom, I need your help!” from the upstairs Continue reading
