3 a.m. : I woke and couldn’t sleep. I checked on 2 tots I was worrying about … who, of course were fine. I started thinking about a dear friend. My prayer for her: “Be Strong.” I thought of this video… one of my all-time lds-short-movies favorites. I love getting the song stuck in my […]
1. It’s garbage day! Which means this truck drives by twice… once on each side of the street. And every other week we get the recycle truck too. It’s a pure delight for Truman. He spends most of Wednesday mornings perched at the window on his tippy toes (or on my lap) waiting for the […]
This week we tried Bountiful Baskets. Basically you pay $15 (sign up on Monday) and you pick up whatever fruit/veggie assortment they offer that week (pick up on Saturday). I was worried we’d get something really weird that would be a waste to us, but everything was pretty normal. The only things we hadn’t bought […]
I haven’t been very diligent at recording family and kid life the past … oh… like 3 months. I keep thinking I’ll start way back when and catch up… but sigh… my energy runs low. So, we’ll just plug along and keep trying to record those moments of delight. Today is a letter writing day… […]
Dear Sun… you are welcome in my world any day! (well… unless there’s a drought and then you’ll have to make room for some rain). Just know I’m glad you’re here today! I think i’ll go for a walk outside now the summer sun’s callin my name (i hear ya now) i just can’t stay […]
It’s a good thing I posted about JOY when I was feelin’ it this morning… for I didn’t exactly end the day full of JOY with the tots. Sigh… Some days I think I’m moving backwards or am in stall. Some days I wonder if I even know what I’m doing as a mother. Satan […]
I came across this photo from April 2010. I never posted it because I kept hoping that I’d slim down and I could forget that I (once?) had chubs. Well… I’m still in the same state but with a rounder belly full of baby. But… I read once that it’s good to have photos of […]
I drove to Costco in the minivan with the empty light on. I had delayed this unfortunate event long enough. It had to be done. I’ve been filling the tank half full to spread the $$ out over pay periods. But since there is no end in sight for high gas prices, I sighed and […]
I’m excited about this new tradition that we started last October at General Conference time. Last year I made a make-shift b/w print that barely made it out of my printer. But we kept it up for 6 months. This week, I created a new one that will hopefully last longer and be easier to […]
Outside my window… tulips coming up well. Morning light, blue skies, white clouds, snow on the mountains, spring buds on the trees. Big red dump truck just drove by and Tru had to peek out the window. (later… blowing, freezing snow) I am thinking… about fresh fruits and veggies. We’re trying Bountiful Baskets this week […]
