 Lisa and I celebrated our lucky 13th wedding anniversary yesterday. It is amazing to think that we have been married for 13 years, together for 18, and our three kids are all 5 years old or younger…but that is another story. With help from friends and family we had a lot of options offered to us … Continue reading Anniversary Outing on the Geocache Diet – Day 213  As many of you know our Annika (aged 5) loves bugs. At her preschool ‘graduation’ after all the princesses, fire fighters, and artists, the teacher announced: “When Annika grows up she wants to be an entomologist”. Most of the parents looked at each other and laughed and the kids all looked confused.

I was up early getting ready for my morning geocaching walk when I decided to check my e-mail and sitting in my inbox were 3 new geocaches. The best news was that two of these caches were … Continue reading A Spectacular Monday Morning  It is April and in our household that means it is birthday month. Only one out of the five of us is having a birthday this month but when Annika has a birthday the build-up is immense. The calendar is getting a lot of attention lately as the countdown is in full swing. Now the question is … Continue reading Birthday Month  We have made a lot of changes in the way we are living since this time last year and most of these changes have gone exactly as planned. I did not, however, expect to go from someone who tried hard to stay in touch with current events from around the world to stopping paying attention to most news altogether. … Continue reading Reduce News Intake and Save Time  |
