‘That’s just Mom’ » Sandpoint Reader

1 month ago | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader ContributorMany mothers will receive cards and novelty coffee mugs this May dubbing them “#1 Mom,” but only one Sandpoint woman could ever boast the titles of both Idaho Mother of the Year and National Mother of the Year: Helen Thompson. I heard about Helen in January, when a friend of my grandfather called me.
An elk hunter’s circle of life » Sandpoint Reader

Oct 23, 2024 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader ContributorIn my brief time as a parent, I’ve come to know that the ultimate joy of raising a small person is sharing things with them. So far, this sharing has mostly included taking my 15-month-old son, Liam, to places I love, giving him bites of the food I enjoy, playing him my favorite music and the like. He’s proven to be an ardent observer, and his recent use of “Whoa!” in relation to any new discovery makes it all the more satisfying for all involved.
Let the officials officiate » Sandpoint Reader

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader EmeritusMore than 14 million people tuned in to watch the Final Four matchup between the Iowa and UConn women’s college basketball teams earlier this month, setting a new record for women’s basketball viewership. A foul called in the final seconds has drawn unprecedented ridicule in the days since, as many fans wondered aloud — and, in many cases, very angrily — whether a decision by an official led to the game’s ultimate outcome.
A meditation on the science of musical taste » Sandpoint Reader

Jan 24, 2024 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader ContributorI recently revisited what can only be described as a cinematic and musical masterpiece of the 21st century: the 2003 film School of Rock, starring Jack Black and a cast of talented children who I can only hope went on to lead fulfilling lives after taking part in a project impossible to top in their subsequent careers. If you don’t believe me, ask Rotten Tomatoes, where SOR boasts a 92% critic rating.
On motherhood " Sandpoint Reader

Jan 19, 2024 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader StaffThis missive has made it into the pages of the Reader against all odds from a world so far removed from reality that time and space lack any meaning. That world? First-time motherhood. My husband Alex and I welcomed our son, Liam, on July 18. Born with the help of three incredible midwives at the Sandpoint Birthing Center, all 22 inches of our nearly nine-pound baby boy arrived without incident — notwithstanding the 24-hour labor that coaxed him into the world.
Mother, homemaker, world builder » Sandpoint Reader

Jan 10, 2024 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader StaffRecently, upon a Christmas tidings visit to the Reader office, Publisher Ben Olson asked me a perfectly polite and simple question. It was something along the lines of: “Do you feel disconnected at all from the outside world?”He was of course referring to the drastic life change I underwent in 2023: The transition from newspaper news editor at our esteemed local weekly to stay-at-home mom of a baby boy named Liam. It was a choice I made willingly and excitedly.
The butcher’s binky » Sandpoint Reader

Oct 18, 2023 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader ContributorA couple of days into this year’s rifle hunting season, my husband Alex sent me a photo. The text notification made my heart race. He’d been gone for a few hours, off to hike a route I knew well. If there were elk bedded in their habitual places, he’d surely have bumped them by now and very well could have gotten off a shot. A text message bearing, “Attachment: 1 Image,” during hunting season is often the first signal that it’s time for celebration.

This year, the rainbow-bedecked celebration will take over the Granary Arts District on Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15 with various speakers, performers and dance parties planned over the two-day event.
Her own kind of blues » Sandpoint Reader

Jul 13, 2023 | sandpointreader.com | Lyndsie Kiebert-Carey

By Lyndsie Kiebert-CareyReader StaffBorn a globetrotter to parents of both Sicilian-American and Guatemalan backgrounds, Cristina Vane could speak four languages and had lived in three countries before moving to the U.S. at age 18 to attend college. Her far-flung experiences and lack of roots point to a sort of irony when learning that Vane, a recording artist now based in Nashville with two albums under her belt, is a prolific blues musician.
