I pretty much vanished for the last couple of weeks. Partly due to relatives in town (we know who loves us by how often they visit. Hint, hint, relatives.) Partly due to being the Relief Society President when half the ward decides to move at the exact moment the other half goes on vacation. I […]
My kids have been bugging me for months to watch a bunch of YouTube videos by some German guy named Flula. Apparently he lives in America and has a bit of trouble figuring out the idiosyncrasies of our language. Finally I caved and watched some of these videos. They’re pretty funny, although he’s no Sweet […]
So gas prices go down, the stock market climbs a smidge and suddenly there’s no motivation for getting you food storage anymore? And after I wrote that motivational post last week? (well, it got Tiburon into gear! Go Tib!) So Harlene was my only good girl! Because this is so very important, I’m giving you […]
Hello, friend. I’ve been gone for a while. I didn’t finish my car trip series (although I plan to and I’ll write the posts and throw them up on the blog without any fanfare over the next couple of weeks) but lets move past that, shall we? I get a bee in my bonnet every […]
This is what I’ve been thinking about lately: People never use the word “marvelous” anymore. I think it’s a shame. What a great word! As a matter of fact it’s marvelous. So expect to hear it a lot more on this blog. __________________________ My New Year’s resolutions have gone outstandingly well except one: to not […]
I’m up to my eyeballs in birthday preparations. And we have a big church party tonight as well. In other words, I’m raw-ther busy. But here’s something for you to think about: one of my very favorite foods ever. You probably have heard of Biscoff. It tastes like cookies but is smooth like nutella. It’s […]
For Fess-Up Friday I want to tell you about something that is kind of embarrassing and makes me completely not cool: going someplace new and different always makes me feel anxious and slightly worried. It doesn’t matter what it is: a restaurant, a museum, a flea market. If I don’t know what to expect I […]
I know (but maybe you don’t) that my birthday is sort of far away (April 10th, the most magical day in the universe). But it’s never too early to mention the thing I want the absolute most. Well, really what I want most is wood floors in my family room because right now we have […]
I have three daughters but have somehow avoided all things High School Musical. I don’t know how I managed to swing this, but I consider myself incredibly fortunate. So the fact that HSM 3 is in theatres? Nobody here cares! Sweeeet!
My sweet, gentle boy got invited to a birthday party at Build-a-Bear. When I picked him up afterwards he showed me his cute little bear, complete with bows on its ears and tummy. And then he showed me the bear’s birth certificate: You can always tell which kids have older brothers.

I’m trying to scrape together any shards of enthusiasm I have for the holidays and Christmatize my house. I realize most of you decorated the second the Thanksgiving dishes were clean, but holiday decorations are simply not my thing. Why isn’t a tree good enough? Why must I have bannisters wrapped in garlands? And […]
