Lagom Adventures goes to Chicago with the kids for a "Gift of Adventure." If you are looking to do something "alternative" in place of your normal gift-giving for your kids, take them on a trip for some adventure! Chicago was the perfect setting for this year's trip!
It’s a tradition to set New Year’s Resolutions every year, and I’ve done them myself. Of course, there are those non-traditionalists who prefer not to set any resolutions. That’s okay too. When I was thinking about I wanted to do for a Resolution this year, I caught myself calling them “Goals.” Maybe it’s all that […]
As I began putting my thoughts down on paper, it is the morning of a mid-November snow day. I have been mulling this over for a week or so, but am putting it to “paper” this morning. My over active mind decided it was time. We are entering the holiday season. Thanksgiving is next […]

What’s that old saying? “April showers bring May flowers.” If that’s the case, then May should be loaded with them! It’s done nothing but rain for the past month. And when part of your job is an Athletic Director in charge of two baseball teams and a softball team, that’s not good! I’ve spent most […]
As Caroline and I have mentioned before, we are both teachers. So here it is on a Friday evening about 4:00 and I’m still here at school, waiting until it’s time to take my son to the school dance.
