Have any of you seen the documentary “Chasing Ice”? If not, I would really recommend it. It is about one photographer’s quest to show the affects of climate change. He post cameras at different glaciers and icebergs around the world to see if any noticeable difference will be made in a short amount of time. […]

Very beautiful. Sadly, there are still people who don’t believe in global warming. I don’t know understand how that can be, but it’s true. I’m so interested in seeing this movie. February 27, 2013 - 6:02 pm
Curt and I have been wanting to see this movie since it started at the Darkside, but we can’t seem to be able to get out for a date! I’ve only heard rave reviews from people who have seen it. Thanks for the reminder that we need to get out and see it. February 27, 2013 - 8:25 pm
Adrienne, This performance of the national anthem is flawless. I am usually not one to get emotional when a celebrity dies, but I have to admit that my heart aches a little thinking about Whitney Houston’s death. Such an amazing voice and presence. If you want to see Chris get teary eyed, watch him watch this […] 1 comment February 14, 2012 - 10:16 am
I love it! I love it with the big orchestra behind her. I feel like we live in a time where we are bombarded with news of how horrible our world has become. The news scares the ba-jeebers out of us by mostly reporting on stories that sell… stories that scare us. Parents talk about how “When we were kids, we could play in our front yards, […] 3 comments November 3, 2011 - 6:37 am
That is why I don’t watch the news! I love hearing stories about people like me November 6, 2011 - 7:07 pm
Well, I found this post to be inspirational. I’m pretty good at willingly serving when and wherebI’m asked, but I need to do better at seeking out opportunities to do good. I get really caught up in our day to day grind, that I forget how important it is to help others. And I want to teach my children to help others as well. I have a friend who decided with her husband and young children that they wouldn’t eat out the rest of the year and they would take the money they would have spent and donate it. It’s a really cool experience they are creating for their kids. You can read about it here: November 8, 2011 - 9:11 pm
That is a great idea! My friend Becky and I were having a good laugh yesterday talking about all of the funny dynamics of friendship and why making friends is pretty much like dating. Here is some of my reasoning: -You hear some people talk about “Love at first Sight” when some people describe how it was when they met […] 7 comments October 20, 2011 - 9:32 pm
It was love at first sight of your cute blue Dansko clogs!!! And look at us not =) October 20, 2011 - 9:33 pm
look at us NOW!!! (typo above, woops) October 20, 2011 - 9:45 pm
Oh, Kara, it’s so true! Having recently moved, we are looking to “date.” It’s been tough. October 20, 2011 - 9:51 pm

Love it. So true. I wish we talked more, but consider myself in the “we pick up right where we left off” category….right??? I think also you (not just you but people in general) make friends with those who are in the same stage of life that you might not be friends with otherwise. Does that make sense? But that is the beauty of it all. October 21, 2011 - 11:03 am
And making friends once you have kids! Extra hard. Kids have to get along too! Family dating. It is hard! thanks for the article Kara. October 23, 2011 - 12:14 am
That’s a good way to put it…and funny too. Like when you told me you wanted to set me up on a blind date with another mom this week, and that we should, “take our relationship to the next level.” Lol, I laughed as I recounted all that to my hubby. You’re funny. I agree about the couple friends, too. I’m so thankful for the couple friends we have in our lives…especially the ones who have experienced becoming parents for the first time in the past year like we have. You are jealous of your sick husband, because he is laying around and resting. Chris’ back was hurting really bad yesterday after a ton of photo shoots last week, so he has been laying down, not holding kids, and trying not to move a lot. These are all things that someone with a sore back […] 5 comments October 3, 2011 - 10:11 pm
If you are crazy, then I am right there with you! Curt had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago, and I have been SO envious of all of the time that he gets to spend on the sofa, watching TV and getting food and drinks delivered. He’s been hobbling around and trying to help out as much as he can – such a wonderful man – but I was really surprised by how badly I wanted that same break. October 4, 2011 - 6:39 am
I also have a hard time being really gracious when Darin is sick and I’m stuck with all the responsibility. I get very martyr-ish. What’s worse is he is so kind to me when I’m sick! October 4, 2011 - 8:26 am
I’m with you, sista! When are we going to plan that mama get away?! I’m serious. You tell me when you are done nursing and we’ll plan it. October 4, 2011 - 9:02 am
I’m in… I had my mental meltdown about a week ago. Darn those awesome involved husbands who help out so much that we don’t know how to function when they can’t! Make sure you call me up for the Ferris Bueller day… I’ll fake whatever illness necessary! October 5, 2011 - 4:31 pm

lol. The mother you wrote about sounds like a very caring and thoughtful person! What an awesome gesture to bring dinner to the teacher. Thank you you for posting this to your blog. I feel inspired to sit down and focus on being more thankful and positive and there is always more room for selfless acts in my life! 
Heres to taking on the world with good vibes and gestures.
