SCENTsational News!

Ok, I know I’m being kind of a dork about this (just ask Luke), but I've been anxiously awaiting for this pretty little box to arrive on my doorstep, and I’m SO excited its here! Those of you who know me know that I like to have some sort of smell going in my house almost all the time, and I’m not taking about the forgot to flush the potty, pooped my pants again, spilled a container of paint, dropped my food someplace you won’t find it for 3 days sort of smells that all the kiddos leave behind ;) No, I’m talking about smells more of the baked goods, spa, fresh cut flower variety. And since I generally can’t find the time/motivation to actually bake, and you all know how well I keep plants and flowers alive… I go through A LOT of Scentsy bars. So after many weeks of deciding, changing my mind, pondering I finally decided to become a Scentsy consultant. Now back to that box!

If you haven’t guessed yet, it’s my starter kit filled with testers of all the scents Scentsy has to offer along with lots of other fun goodies!

I mean who wouldn't get excited looking at all those smells just waiting to provide you with a little aroma therapy?!? Don’t lie, you’re trying to smell your screen right now. Anyway, I just had to share some of my excitement!! If you want more information about Scentsy, want to make a purchase or replenish your stash let me know. I’m also available if anyone is interested in having a home or basket party of your own (you can score some great deals that way)…if you’re interested or want more information give me a call or shoot me an email. Oh! And don’t forget to visit my official Scentsy website, and sign up for my newsletter while you’re there! I wouldn't want you missing out on any deals! Are you excited yet?!

"This one smells interesting"

PS…notice how I threw in a picture of the kids, I’m not kidding myself I know what you’re all really interested in J

Life Right Now - November 2025

Right now Beau is a senior and has a schedule that has him home most of the afternoon. He is currently between jobs. He worked at Hartmann Lawn Care for the summer and fall, and is re-starting at Fleet Farm this week (today, actually). He worked there throughout the school year last year too, and they hired him back for this year. Right now Cora is a sophomore and just finished up her school volleyball season. She played middle hitter for the JV team this year, and then was moved up to Varsity for sections and state. She got to spend a week up in the Cities with the team, and they ended up placing 3rd. She will play for the 17s team for JO this winter. Practices for that will start after Thanksgiving, with tournaments starting in January. She will be doing an off season workout program through the school this winter until softball practices start up in early spring. Right now Sylvie is in 7th grade and starting her first year of sch...

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season. Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA. The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly. Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year. Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class. Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays! I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated. The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work. Around here I...

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of My First Half Marathon

Nearly 2 years ago my friend, Casey, and I set a goal to run a half marathon. The plan was to train for a 10K (which we ran in Mankato last fall) and then go back and do the half the following year. It seemed so far off. That far off date was last Sunday. I'm happy to say that our goal was met. We both ran the half marathon. 13.1 miles without stopping. But, as all things do, goals evolve. In the time since that rainy, shivering, post 5-k goal setting ride home I decided that I wanted to run not only a half marathon, but a sub-2 half marathon. This is the story of what is undeniably a great accomplishment, but sometimes even great accomplishments can be laced with disappointment ( read, not overly inspiring ). I will warn you that there may be a bit TMI, so if you're turned off by "potty talk" I encourage you to stop reading now. 2015 Mankato Half Marathon Recap In the days leading up to the race I was feeling excite...
