1. Cankles… I’ve got ’em. Sure ‘nough! It’s pretty much a joy to hit this stage… sigh… not! I’ve also got a pretty awesome gap between my maternity shirts and pants. Not cool people! 2. High Waters… Abe’s got ’em. I can’t believe how fast this boy grows. I buy him pants and 2 seconds […]
It’s 1 a.m. I can’t sleep… like for 1 1/2 hours can’t sleep. So I finally got up to get a warm drink to see if that helps. I came across the Time Out for Women site. I’m likin’ their logo and theme this year. Choose to Become… great starting place for thoughts. Right now… […]
I came across this quote on my computer tonight. I think my sister Mary shared it with me long ago. So timely for me to see it this week! This is going to be my theme for tomorrow with my children.I’ve been pretty hard on my tots lately… expecting a lot of them … being […]
You see… Tru is a toddler. He’s almost 2. And he’s the youngest of 4. Which means this kid has learned to hold his own. With the exception of “Stop it” (like in the middle of family prayer)… and a few other incidents… Tru was rather nice yesterday. It ought to be noted. Yes, every […]
We had a mellow stay-at-home Independence Day celebration. The kids made necklaces and bracelets out of beads (p.s. next time remember it’s 1,000 times harder with a toddler around). We would have done backyard swimming if it were sunny, but we had clouds all day with a few drops of rain. Max and Tru did […]

This summer we’re working on good manners… well, ok… we’re always working on good manners. But especially with Max… the please and thank you one is vital. And the “Be Kind to Others”… for all of us. Aren’t these so cute? I ordered the Good Manners Prints in 5×7 from zulily. We are marching, ever […]
This week was full of ups and downs. My heart has been super sad about the news of some friends from Florida – devastating divorce & the death of a teenager in an accident with the mom and kids. Satan is such a booger. It’s just way too bad when he breaks up families. It’s […]
I heard this song this morning in a Mormon Tabernacle Choir Flash Mob video from Williamsburg. It brought tears to my eyes for some reason. I love the message with templed hills… freedom ring from ev’ry mountainside… land be bright… freedom’s holy light… protect us by Thy might. I love America and FREEDOM! This isn’t […]
