Right now, it's all about the Olympics! This first week of the games is my favorite with Swimming and Gymnastics front and center. And watching the games with my kids is amazing.
When next week rolls around, they won't care any more and will be wanting regular programming, but right now we are enjoying cheering the USA on together.
Life is about expectations. If I expect my kids to love the Olympics for the full 16 days of the games, I'm going to be upset. But if I expect them to enjoy 2 events, then we can enjoy those events together.
And they will still have to watch whatever Olympics I want to watch even when they are done with them.
What does your family feel about the Olympics?
Here are five things to appreciate during the Olympics?
- This podcast: Honestly, I have vetted this series, but the subject matter looks fascinating. If you listen to this, will you tell me what you think?
- This instagram post: I don't think I could be more proud that she is from Minnesota. And this one as well!
- This YouTube: Would you be willing to try this?
- This quote: Do you believe this? Do I believe this? Do we want our kids to believe this?
- This thing about my kids: They are all at camp this week!

Frozen Summer Treats
Night to Unite, National Night Out, good excuse for a block party – call it what you will. On Tuesday, August 3, 2021, communities across the Twin Cities Metro participate in this nation-wide program to strengthen neighborhood spirit, partnerships with local police, and crime awareness prevention. In 2020, most cities are chose to postpone or completely cancel. We are hopeful that 2021 will go forward and will be adding events as they are
announced.
Visitors to the Twin Cities love to view Minnehaha Falls, but there are more nearby waterfalls in the Twin Cities — some you can get up close to, others are majestic landmarks to view from a safe distance. Add these Twin Cities waterfalls to your summer checklist.
