My brother in-law telling me about Jelle’s marble runs on ESPN has to be in my top 10 best things to happen this week

Could not have picked a better author lecture, Q&A and book signing for my kids first than Tui T Sutherland (Wings of Fire). So much excitement in the room. An exciting announcement too!

I really should try night vision on a tripod especially when it’s so cold I can’t help but shiver #mbfeb

Fun way to kill a couple of hours on leap day. LGN Winter Carnival #mbfeb #littleschoolbigheart

Below this sign we can get delicious burgers. #DaddyMakingDinner #mbfeb

As a blink.sh and vi user, I really wish this keyboard had an escape key #mbfeb

I stumbled at today’s #mbfeb hurdle. So here’s my dinner (well, part of it)

When it gets too dark to play catch. Try by the headlights. #mbfeb prompt is double

Throw back to when I took Flat Stanley on a tour of Boston. Here he is at South Station. I do not miss that commute #mbfeb

#mbfeb prompt is spectacle. I’ve been wearing glasses for… 14 years now. Still not used to them.

Happy 11th birthday to Abby. I get so much out of watching your progress through life. Love you! #mbfeb

After almost 20 years I’m still not used to cooking with cups instead of a scale. #mbfeb

Soon this empty space will be filled with Sapporo #mbfeb

I’m opposed to thinking too hard about the #mbfeb prompt words. So here’s a selfie of my youngest and myself waiting for the older kids to finish their piano lessons

Made custard for the first time in almost 10 years(!). Waiting for it to cool to see if the kids like bananas and custard as much as I do (did?) #mbfeb

A brief rest on a busy Sunday #mbfeb

This field trip back in October is one of the reasons I wanted to tip the work life balance back towards family #mbfeb

This coffee provided some warmth this cold cold morning. So did my breakfast buddies #mbfeb

Can’t wait for this dough to rise and bake. I might be (re)addicted to fresh baked bread #mbfeb

I have a permanent attachment to this little guy. I don’t remember how or when I got him but he was with me at every exam in school and university (and my driving test) and on every desk or office I called my own. My life long good luck charm. #mbfeb
