Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. -Saint Francis of Assisi Hello spring! I think we all can agree it has been a brutal Wisconsin winter. Not only am I thrilled at the idea of being able to go outside, but I look forward to cherished early morning runs without risk of hypothermia. Spring fever is in full swing. I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that there is, yet again, a lot going on in the Theisen household. The blessing of five kids greatly increases the likelihood that, at any …

As I write, I am bundled and enjoying the peace of the newly instituted quiet hour at the Theisen house. As temps have plummeted to negative 45 with wind chill, all five of the kids are under our new roof. Joe is taking a J-term course and needs a quiet place. The house has plenty of space with nooks and crannies, and when the construction is done, I may be hard-pressed to even find the kids. It’s likely that quiet hour could be lifted. But for now, our scarce outlets and meager 60 watts of electricity have driven the Theisen …

WRITTEN BY GRACE THEISEN Well, we moved recently. And I’ll have to admit, I’ve been a little bit spoiled in my life by modern conveniences. The house that I grew up in until now was built in 2005. Our old house was always warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The windows that went up and down. And the lights turned on when you flipped the switch. Let’s just say, that our “new” house isn’t exactly “new.” Our new house was actually built in the 1800’s. (That’s even older than my dad.) I don’t think they had furnaces …

Happy New Year to all. A new year brings new ideas, so I want to share a couple of recipes new and old. I got the idea for lettuce wraps from my friend, Susie, at a birthday celebration and began researching different recipes. There are so many variations, plus they are family and lunch box friendly. I serve these wraps with an old favorite recipe of mine that I originally got from my mother-in-law, but have “remodeled” with a timesaving step. Please share your favorite wrap recipes on our Facebook page. Bon Appetit, Lanette How to make Chicken Lettuce Wraps …

WRITTEN BY HEATHER ROTHBAUER-WANISH Lisa Stelter Graf has a strong base for all of the 5ive. As a busy wife, mother, business owner, and home mortgage professional with RCU, she has learned to hone in on what is most important in life. And, by doing so, she hopes to gain that balance that every woman strives to achieve on a daily basis. FAITH For Lisa, faith means more than going to church every Sunday. “I believe in God and everything He represents. And, I believe in living my life as a generous person.” Most of us know that actions speak …

BY BRIANA CRAIG This is my confession: In 2013, I allowed myself to be enslaved to the urgent. I sold myself down the river of productivity and missed out on a lot of good stuff in order to appease the pressing. I traded important connections and priceless moments to scratch tasks off a list. In 2014, I am reconstructing my to-do list. I am grateful for the refining fires of 2013, especially the one finally burning this lesson into my head. Over the course of eight years, this problem of “productivity” and perfectionism has been steadily building. In an attempt …
