My baby doll is four today! Hard to believe that four years ago I was in labor*. She’s a spitfire and a charmer. Baby Ada, we love you! (With her cousin Ellen W.) *She was my one try with natural childbirth and it was not the lovely experience that everyone described. It was wretched. It […]

Literally. I’m going on my third week of pneumonia which I caught in Utah at the beginning of my trip. The combination of polluted, dirty air (and I thought Inversion only happened in the winter!), the climate as dry as a bone (my eyes felt like shriveled raisins the whole time. I was so happy […]
If you’ve got a houseful of bored people or just wish you lived someplace snowy, this is the perfect craft. You can’t very well go skiing on paper snowflakes but they add a nice wintery touch your house long after the Christmas decorations have been put away. They are also very addictive to make. Our […]
The subject is this: I bought a solar oven. I read a novel a few months ago about Iran launching nuclear weapons above the U.S. that created an Electro-Magnetic Pulse. This EMP caused the entire country to completely lose power permanently. It instantly threw us back into the mid-1800’s, technologically-speaking. Having the vivid imagination that […]
The Relief Society is in charge of the ward Christmas Party this year. I already have my decorating theme (Candy Canes! Everything will be red and white.) But I’m not really jazzed about any of the program/activity ideas that that we’ve been considering. Have you been to any church Christmas parties that you’ve really liked? […]

Today my second-born child, York, turns 20. I am down to having only two teenagers again. York has been getting his butt kicked down in Brazil (metaphorically speaking!) and learning piles of humility and patience. Hoo boy, has he needed that! Of course, York is still York and he told us when we Skyped with […]

Welcome to my first video how-to! (Do I have to tell you how much I hate my voice?) This is a tutorial on one of the most common problems in everybody’s house: a leaky toilet that’s constantly running. This is such a super easy problem to fix. Anybody can do it!

Remember this heinous old thing? I bought it at Wimberley Market Days which is a really cute flea market held once a month in the darling town of Wimberly, Texas. I went with Lorie from Be Different, Act Normal. It’s not the kind of flea market that sells Sham-Wows and huge bags of no-name tube […]
