We’re back from our long weekend away in Sedona. We made it home about 2:30 p.m. yesterday to a little dude cranky with teething (but thrilled to see us) and a very excited Sweetness. In their excitement they forgot they’re supposed to sleep through the night so working on five hours of sleep I leave you with an accidental Wordless Wednesday. We didn’t take a lot of photos because we just wanted to rest, but here some of the few we did shoot.

The view from the Sedona Airport, which is located on a mesa top (super cool).

The view north from our resort's main building. The Enchantment is located in a box canyon of red rocks.

We went for a hike near the resort and this is a view down toward the resort.

Hubby up on Boynton Spire, with Sedona in the background.

Me up at Boynton Spire. This was a great, gorgeous hike.

After a good hike it's important to sit and relax by the pool, with drinks.

Which is so easy to do with a view like this. (That's Boynton Spire, the rock on the far right.)

When we weren't hiking, sight seeing or lounging by the pool, we had to hang out in these digs.

I feel pretty certain my dorm room was smaller than this bathroom. There was a jet tub and a shower.

Feeling might relaxed among my red rocks.

I come across that and cringe just because I’m a mom and a helicopter pilot and sometimes people wonder if my blog is about helicopter parenting. Ugh, quite the contrary. Helicopter parenting is in essence parents who hover over their children at all times, rarely giving the [...]

Mr. Man taking his line cook duties seriously.

If you read last week’s post, you know we’re climbing the walls here with the bad weather. This past week the snow left, but it has been pretty rainy on the days I’m home with the kids. We’ve built couch forts, played hallway bowling, designed elaborate ramp systems for Mr. Man’s car collection that breeds [...]

Weather the last week here in Seattle included snow, sleet, freezing rain, wind, ice, rain and slush. To say the kids are climbing the walls would be an understatement. I’m a big proponent of outside time every day, but with temperatures in the 20s and blowing freezing rain, outside was not something any of us [...]

Today I’m handing of the controls to Nancy Parker, a nanny and writer who wanted to offer some advice on finding a nanny who uses positive discipline. What she offers in just a beginning, but the points she makes are none the less important to keep in mind. Take it away Nancy. Finding the perfect [...]
