Playground Season, What I Know For Sure & #iPPP


Spring has sprung.  That means no freezing at baseball games, no more winter coats.  That means that is officially playground season.

And we couldn't be happier.



If there is a playground, we will find it and we will have the time of our lives, I know that for sure (this week).

Here's what else I know (this week):

  • We like chalk too.  Wade said we should draw the "hopper thing." AKA hopscotch.



  • My kids drive me crazy, sometimes.  In this week's vlog, I talk about that and do a Rodney Dangerfield impression. Here it is if you missed it:




  • Little moments of meaning are everywhere--be ready to appreciate them.  I walked by the stairs at a family party last weekend and caught a glimpse of a moment between JT and his grandfather, "Bubba." I stopped and watched for a minute and soaked up the sweetness of this moment.

  • Let love rule.  This is from a couple months ago (ancient in online terms) but so good.  It's from SoulPancake, it's about love and I love it.




  • I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean.  Speaking of music, this song was in my head all week for some reason--Edie Brickell & New Bohemians' What I Am.  This song is about 25 years old.  I know! Can you believe it?  Such a great song.


  • I can't stop thinking about my volunteer opportunity last weekend in Detroit.  It was life-changing,-affirming.  Here's  short video about our day at Cass Community Services. Read about it here.

  1. I know that I am SO jealous that spring has stuck around for you! We had playground/yard weather al last week, I think, and then POOF. It was gone. I need it back! Waaaahhhh!

    Those pictures are awesome....the one where Lucy is swinging around the pole? She looks JUST like you.

    Have a great weekend!

  2. I am always in search of new playgrounds. I know of at least a couple in our town and all the neighboring towns. I like to mix it up and go to as many different ones as possible!
