I know you’ve all been waiting on the edge of your seats for news of the collaborative project I’m working on. Okay, maybe like me you’re enjoying a summer filled with rat hunting, potion making, and hours of fun on the slip-n-slide. In between these adventures, I’m squeezing in time to focus on Broadsheet360 an [...]

For the past four months I’ve been training for Vancouver’s inaugural marathon which is set to take place this Sunday, June 19. My training partner and I have woken before the sun, logging over 250 miles in the pounding wind and tireless rain. We’ve trudged on through blisters, bronchitis, and achy knees. Some days we hit [...]

Most of our important family discussions occur in the car while driving home from school.  I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve been blindsided by questions from the backseat, and nearly blindsided by cars as I swerve and try to pull my thoughts together before answering.  In a future post, I’ll [...]

The space between Luke’s teeth is wider these days, thanks in part to a slice of Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza and some vigorous wiggling.  For weeks he complained that every other first grader had lost a tooth.  He was convinced that he was the only one in his class with a full set of baby teeth [...]

So forget my last post.  Trips to Europe be damned!  Luke’s back-to-school tale will now be “I caught a fish THIS big!”  And, he even has picture proof.  But on to other news…my blog is just one of many things that has sat neglected while enjoying this near-perfect Pacific Northwest summer.  It’s been an unusual summer in [...]

In celebration of Father’s Day Luke wanted to rise early and make Gordy breakfast in bed.  It should be noted here, that Luke would much prefer to have breakfast in bed daily.  It should also be noted that any foray into breakfast in bed begins Luke shouting up the stairs, “Dad! Dad! Don’t get out [...]

We dodged a bullet in the Seeley household last week, well at least I did, I’m not sure the boys would agree with me.  Our pet total to date stands as follows:  two dogs, one cat, two frogs, a fish, a couple of snails, and a hamster prone to escaping his cage (aptly named Houdini.)  [...]

It’s like the old Sesame Street song, “One of these things is not like the other.”  Somehow Luke ended up decorating Easter cookies last week in his camouflage wife-beater while jamming to Johnny Cash.  As he sang with a six-year-old twang, “I fell in to a burnin’ ring of fire” I handed him pink sprinkles [...]

Technology love it or hate it, this one just might buy us another few years of believing…a direct message from Santa with an insider’s view of the North Pole.  Need I say more?  Happy Holidays 2009 style!  Portable North Pole (PNP). 

The steady sound of beating drums and soaring symphonies have been blasting at our house for the last couple weeks in preparation for dun, dun, dun-dun-dun-dun: Star Wars in Concert.  That’s right, Luke donned his Halloween costume a little early, spent hours meticulously crafting posters with cutouts of Yoda and Boba Fett, and stayed up way past [...]
