This is a repost from 2008. I wanted to revisit this idea to remind myself to keep going with these books. The main idea was to share fun stories from the past with our children… to teach values… and share lessons learned. A few years ago Susan Tanner gave a great talk . Part of […]
This is her scared “Bugsy” look. Isn’t she adorable! This is her half smile. Her cheeks are so soft & squishy. We gobble them up. Cute Eliza is such a good baby. She hardly ever fusses. In the past few weeks she has generally slept from 9 p.m. – 7 a.m. She tolerates Enfamil formula […]
Last night I was instant messaging with Stephanie in Alaska (isn’t technology amazing?!). We were talking (rather… typing) about all the fabulous blessings/hardships/callings we deal with in this life. Even after a hard day … and realizing things were not going to get much easier in the immediate future … what did she say? Oh, […]
I mean – it’s really true. or not. but didn’t it make you laugh? I sure did.
I think it took an entire week to recover from last Sunday. I had a bit of a bleh week not wanting to deal with the bleh things in life… like dishes and biting 2-year-olds and such. But this week, I’m recommitting to Home, love, family. My goal: do all I can to help our […]

perhaps i ought to hold off on my ‘life is hard… and then you die’ journaling thoughts for 24 hours before posting. though…someday it will come in handy… like when truman is a dad wondering why his 2-year-old is so awful. i found a big purple bruise with red bite marks on the upper part […]
i’ve had some doozies, mostly when abe was 2 and 3 years old, when we lived in Tennessee. i left church crying with crying kids on several sundays… generally it was when Jimmy was out and about with his stake calling. but today honestly beats all. it was seriously unreal… i couldn’t believe this was […]
“Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. … “But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. … “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Luke 12: 15,31,34.)
