I’ve been missing in action on this here bloggie. I’ve been lost in the trenches of motherhood. I shouldn’t say lost… I should say “I’m Rejoicing in the Trenches of mothering little ones” … but during the month of February it felt more like ‘lost’… (Probably didn’t help that 3 of us had strep throat […]
Yesterday’s Relief Society Lesson was on Elder Eyring’s 2005 October Conference talk on Spiritual Preparedness. I really enjoyed the principles taught… an essential reminder for me right now. I think I’ll put together a binder of summaries of my favorite talks for 2015. Kinda gives a glimpse of where I am right now… or what […]
Miss Hannah tried out the new blendtec birthday gift to make me some fresh tomato juice. My favorite part is when she says “Worcestershire sauce” because who ever knows how to say that. This girl is a delight.

Sometimes Zuzu is crying because mom’s lap is taken. Sometimes Scotty spits up all over dad (more like ALL THE TIME!). Sometimes Abe asks questions […]
hannah came bounding down the stairs with a cheerful hilarious comment: “hey mom, even with braces marcia brady was still the grooviest looking girl at school, according to alan.” true story. Miss Hannah now has braces on top (October) & bottom (December). She looks darling. She has purple & turquoise rubber bands right now. She’s […]
Gotta be quick here. It’s past bedtime. But… just had to note this. I was telling my friend Julie that I’m having a bit of a hard time … feeling discouraged about health stuff, sinking from the thoughts of all I ought, need, & want to do… parenting … where does our family belong? … […]
