Class parties. Work parties. Church parties. Friend parties. Teacher gifts. Neighbor gifts. Homemade gifts (what was I thinking?) Kids’ gifts. Hostess gifts. Recitals. Concerts. Ballets. Christmas lights. Stocking stuffers. Post office. Post office again. Priority shipping. Overnight shipping. P.S. Don’t forget the seven dental appointments this week to use up all the insurance money before […]

OK, here’s the story: I don’t have a lot of interesting things going on in my life right now; hence my blog is pretty dull.  My life consists of me cleaning up after my kids and watching them eat snacks all day.  That’s it.  That’s my life in a nutshell. So I haven’t been blogging […]

I’m supposed to be writing a post for Segullah right now.  I have two pieces that I’ve been working on and neither of them looks very promising.  They are just not turning out. The writing muse can be rather fickle, I’m afraid.  So instead of banging my head against the wall and wondering why I […]

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 […]

I am an oldest child, but I somehow missed out on that “responsible oldest child” thing.  I was a good girl for the most part. But responsible? Notsomuch. I got the worst grades ever. I’m smart but I’ve always felt like homework was silly and cramped my style. I nearly flunked out of 5th grade […]

So I’ve been rolling my eyes about Twitter for quite some time.  I just didn’t get.  I still kind of don’t get it, but after three people in one week asked me if I’m on twitter I figured I ought to get my head out of the sand and just do it. And it turns […]

I’ve attempted to see Bright Star twice now, but I finally managed to see it last night.  Mister and I were a few minutes late for it last week, so we decided to go see something else instead.  I’m glad we didn’t stay and miss the beginning because the opening sequence is gorgeous. I called […]

Last weekend was India’s first prom. Strangely this has never been a moment I’ve thought much about as I’ve raised my daughters. Probably because I never had a boyfriend (or a date for that matter) in high school so the Prom was always a source of anxiety and frustration rather than excitement. But India is […]

I am not a believer in luck. I mean, lucky things happen. But I don’t believe in it as a “force” exactly. But I do believe in the Magic Circle.  I have a Magic Circle. I was having lunch with some friends today and we started discussing what exactly the magic circle is. The Magic […]
