On Shutter Sisters today Paige wrote a little post about how important it is to BE in a picture now and then rather than always behind the lens, to have someone else take your picture and not do a self-portrait. So here I am. Sadly, these are the latest pictures that others have taken of […]

Green Hour Activity #8 & #9 – Up Close and Personal
I know we skipped the Green Hour Activities #2 – #7. We’ve actually done some of them without even knowing it. Last week we combined Activities #8 and #9. Each girl marked off their own square foot of ground to observe. It’s amazing how much life there is down there amongst the grass, weeds, and […]
The Demise of the TV
Remember our TV that keeled over last week? It took the efforts of She-Ra and He-Man to carry it out of the house. That thing weighed a ton! But since I’m a body builder I was able to do it with no problem at all. Really! I think I genuinely impressed Mr. FR. The TV […]
Blast From The Past
My girls pulled out a box last week that had many of my old yearbooks, photos, letters, etc. Reminiscing about what I was like way back when has made me realize I haven’t changed all that much. Some interests have changed but deep down I’m pretty much the same. So here’s a little journey into […]
Crayon Roll Tutorial
I can hear my three oldest daughters laughing upstairs. Their laughter is heard above the humming of three sewing machines. They are gathered around our dining room table sewing crayon rolls to sell in my mother’s new children’s bookstore, The Purple Cow Bookstore, that will be opening in a couple of weeks in Tooele, UT. […]

Ribbon Headband Tutorial
The night before Easter I was trying to decide what to do in my daughters’ hair the next day. With six girls our Sunday mornings go a lot smoother when we plan ahead of time. I wanted them to be matching but not matching, do you know what I mean? I came up with the […]

Pictures From our Trip
Just a few photos from the trip Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I had last week. For those that know me the travelogue is on my other blog. This is the Palmyra Temple in Palmyra, NY. We are the red and blue blobs you can see. I had the camera on a tripod and set the […]
Decorating Nature Journals
Spring is now officially here in Nevada, meaning the snow is gone but the wind has started with a vengeance. It is a cold wind! But we can see bits of green shoots trying to poke through our beige colored landscape. In anticipation of seeing Mother Nature’s splendor the girls and I had an enjoyable […]
Easter All Week
It’s Wednesday, which means it time for Scribbit’s Winter Bazaar, even though it’s almost Spring. Here’s another tradition we have at our house. We call it Easter All Week. I created simple little charts detailing what happened on each day of the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. It’s a great review for adults and […]
Creating a Family Library
When I wrote my Family Read-Alouds post I received several questions about our book list and how we got our family (my husband in particular) to participate. As with anything new there is usually some trepidation at first but over time persistence pays off. I can’t take credit for my husband liking the read-alouds though. […]
The Tongue of Angels
At church today in Relief Society we discussed the impact that words have in our lives – speaking kindly about others, speaking gently to our children, expressing gratitude for service given to us, gossiping, crudeness, etc. Many thoughts whirled around in my head while our discussion was taking place. First, I thought of the many […]
