When Doves Cry: A Prince Tribute

Last updated on: April 21, 2016 at 4:48 pm By M. Severson

“I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go too fast.” I lugged my last grocery bags into the house from the car, and the notifications on my phone were going crazy. First my mom, a friend, then all my friends from Minneapolis and beyond were texting me. Prince had died. Minnesotans are fierce about their artists, and have an immense pride in the creative abilities that our state produces. Prince is undoubtedly the most famous... Read more

Cooking, and Lack of.

Last updated on: October 8, 2026 at 10:47 pm By M. Severson

You know those people who know how to make everything taste a little better? Yeah, I’m not one of them. It’s not that I can’t cook or don’t enjoy it. There are certainly parts of it that I enjoy, and food that, on occasion, my entire family actually eats. But the process of figuring out what to make, when to make it, and finding all of the ingredients is still daunting. Some time ago, one of my online mom groups... Read more

The Best Way To Educate.

Last updated on: October 8, 2026 at 10:43 pm By M. Severson

All four of our children are enrolled in the public school system. While I can’t say that we’ve tried every type of schooling yet, it’s likely safe to say that by the time it’s all said and done, we will have exhausted every educational system available. We had always planned on homeschooling. I sent for my first homeschooling brochures when I was only ten weeks pregnant with my first child. As a young mom, I read every book I could... Read more

That Still, Strong Voice.

Last updated on: October 8, 2026 at 10:42 pm By M. Severson

It seems to be an unspoken understanding among well-meaning adults that new mothers have no clue what they’re doing.

Because I was 22 and polite, I listened intently, while thinking in my head, “Why are you treating me like an idiot? I’ve been caring for this baby, and I’m... Read more

Here We Go!

Last updated on: October 8, 2026 at 10:41 pm By M. Severson

Last week I stared at a blank screen and wondered how I could possibility begin another blog. How do I get my readers caught up? How do I tell new readers what this is all about? Most importantly, where to begin. I suppose like a bandaid. But, instead of ripping it off, I’m just going to put it all out there. I haven’t found an idiom for “putting it all out there,” unless “putting it all out there” is an... Read more
