Can you believe I haven’t blogged about the Olympics yet? What’s the matter with me? The matter is that we don’t have TV. Remember me pointing that out a few weeks ago, smugly and condescendingly? Well, I started feeling really awful that it’s the Olympics and my kids are finally old enough to care and […]
I’m writing over at Segullah today. My husband is horrified that I would air out some of my family’s dirty laundry, but he should know me better by now. (It’s only dirty laundry if it’s spiteful or gossipy. Not if it’s for a good cause.)
There are a lot of disgusting things that happen when you have children. There are also a lot of disgusting things that happen when you have pets. Put them both together and what do you have? A blog entry! Arabella let Maggie the dog out to go to the bathroom this morning (although it should […]
Do you have a sister? Do you have daughters? Then you’d better get on over to Segullah where I’m posting today. But you can still read it if you are an only child. And have a bunch of sons. Or no children at all. And are a man.
Just got home from Florida. Realized that I forgot to fill up the tank of the rental car. That’s an expensive whoops. Woke the kids up at 4:30 this morning to get to the airport. They haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since before we left. Smelly and tired. Maybe I’m not smelly but I […]

It’s been so sad to hear about all the tornados in Oklahoma and Texas. Growing up in Michigan, which is part of the Midwest, we had tornadoes pretty often. We were thoroughly familiar with tornado drills and hiding in the basement. I remember tornado warnings to be more of a pain than actually being scary; […]
I don’t know if you ever read the blog “Stuff White People Like”. It’s hilarious. Today they have perfectly captured me and my musical tastes. Click here to read it. Don’t worry, it’s short. (But then you’ll get completely distracted and read lots of other posts.)
Here is why I am trying to get everybody on board with food storage and 72-hour kits. Highly recommended viewing (although it’s definitely Mormon, if that freaks you out.) *My friend Darlene, a lovely Evangelical Christian, has this bumper sticker on her Hummer. It cracks me up every time I see it. She also has […]

Is there anyone not completely fascinated with the Amish? Is it not the most interesting culture? No electricity or cars or phones? I’ll admit that there is part of me that always wished I were Amish. Not the part that likes to wear makeup, though. Or the part that enjoys being Mormon. Or the part […]
