This is my sweet baby girl Adelaide. She is five today. For the first year of her life she rarely smiled. She also rarely frowned (except in this picture). She was just a placid, content little baby taking everything in and thinking long and hard. Sometime around a year and a half old a spunky […]
° Everybody needs to know how to make a pie. It’s just one of those life skills that all Americans should have. Despite the saying, “easy as pie”, it’s actually kind of hard. Not hard, exactly, but complicated. I made this tutorial because I want to take the intimidation factor out of pie crust. Let’s […]
I have tried three times to write about a funny day that I had last week but right now The Funny has left me and I could only make it sound like a weird, slightly pathetic day. Life has been dealing harshly with me lately and I think I’m kind of in survival mode. So […]

So I’ve got six kids. That means six backpacks, ten or twelve jackets, a jillion pairs of shoes, and all sorts of miscellaneous junk that accompanies them. In my house all of this kid gear gets hung on a little coat rack or stuck in some cheap plastic cubbies. The coat rack and cubbies share […]
So I’m starting a new feature. Today is my first Makeup Monday. Nope, it’s not about how Mister and I get in a big fight every weekend (we don’t. Usually.) It’s not about kids, crafts, photography or baking (moms who blog are not normally allowed to veer so far off topic like this). It’s about […]

Well, not really. Not even close. But I did get to do a TV show yesterday for BYU TV. It was all about “Mommy Bloggers” (their choice of words, not mine). I represented the semi-dorky, unknown, small-potatoes blogger. While the other guests (Mindy from The Mommy Blog, Daphne from Cool Mom, Kadi from Girly Gazette) represented […]
Somehow I managed to read a bunch of books in the last month even though I was crazy busy. There were a few duds but several that I liked a lot. I read The The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie by Wendy McClure in the Fall (it […]
You need to read yesterday’s post before you read this one. No wait, this one stands on its own. I went to the library to return books last night (they ought to name that place after me, due to all the money they’ve gotten from me over the years. Most recently from the DVD of […]
If you are reading this post it’s probably because you just found a louse in your child’s hair (or your own! Yuuuck!) or even worse, the school nurse just did. Please take a deep breath. When I found a louse in my hair I felt like setting my head on fire and running screaming down […]
