I don’t suppose I need to tell you about all the drama that conspired when I was trying to fix up India’s Homecoming dress. When you are Mormon you can almost never find a formal dress that is modest enough. Since all high school girls are out to look as trampy as possible, that’s what […]
Everything gets planned for Saturday mornings. It’s been bothering me a lot. Mister has a Seminary meeting to go to (They don’t want him to ever sleep in!). He was out the door at 7:00. York has a basketball game to go to at 8 am India has a color guard competition and has to […]
To beat the Texas heat we went to Krause Springs last week. It’s about 45 minutes west of Austin and is an old fashioned swimmin’ hole. Complete with a rope swing: It is, quite literally, a hole. It’s been carved out of limestone, thus the “beach” looks like this (I spent the entire time telling […]
I have realized that I am an addict. I can’t fight it. I’m afraid I’ll have to go cold turkey. That’s right, live a sugar free life. Sugar is one of the very first things I think of when I wake up in the morning. And I think of it fondly all day long. If […]
One of my very favorite things growing up was to come home and find my mother not there. She was very bossy and we fought a lot but that wasn’t the reason why; I loved to make baked goods while she wasn’t around to tell me I was doing things wrong. She also would make me […]
How did everybody do with peanut butter last week? I ended up getting nine jars which should last us for a few months. This week our item is Cereal. (Dry cereal, not oatmeal.) Is there any food more beloved to people than cereal? I mean, who doesn’t like it? It can be healthy or utter […]
Like most teenagers growing up I thought that cities were The Best. There could be nothing better in the world than being surrounded by culture and coolness 24 hours a day. Maybe I figured that if cities were amazing, then I must also be amazing by virtue of living in one. (But if you walk […]

Adelaide Amelia Clementine turned eight last week. Turning eight is not just any birthday if you’re Mormon. That’s when we get baptized. Mormons believe that babies and children automatically go to Heaven if they die, so baptism isn’t a requirement until kids are old enough to really understand the difference between right and wrong. Which […]
