I have never been this behind for Christmas. Actually, I’m not just behind, I have barely begun. I have been sick, and while it is not terminal, it was 14 weeks in length. I am addicted to college football (I may need to go to meetings). Last week, we had football in… Read More »

Hello everyone, Mary Poppins again. Or should I say, plain, old boring Vikki… Now that I am back in the UK – I am just your average nobody. I don’t have lengthy conversations with shop assistants, no one comments on my accent and no one knows who I am. I… Read More »

I first met this week’s Prairie Wife of the Week 7 years ago when our sons attended the same preschool.

I had never looked forward to a trip “home” more. Not for Packers-Bears, not for Brett Favre’s last playoff win against the Seahawks, not even for Mom’s surprise 75th birthday party or the cousins’ reunion she worked to organize for more than a year. For some reason, I felt a… Read More »

It had been one of those crushingly long Mondays … when the to-do list never got shorter than the to-done list. I felt like a dish rag — one with a hole in it no less. I was attired in the top and skirt that I had purchased at the… Read More »

Today I made a pie, specifically a Strawberry Rhubarb pie. Making pie from scratch is a specialty of mine (and in my opinion a lost art) and Summer always brings on a plethora of pie baking, it’s one of my favorite things about this Prairie life of mine…having the luxury of time… Read More »

Hello all, this is Mary Poppins again! Another month has passed… and a lot has happened. There is never a dull moment here! I’ve shot guns, been horse riding, seen a rodeo, attended another wedding, visited Yellowstone National Park, met even more wonderful people – and my Mum came to… Read More »
