About a month or so ago my friend, Stephanie, shared this talk, Even As I Am, by Mark E. Petersen given at General Conference back in 1982.

Decluttering One Bag at a Time
We are in the process of decluttering at our house. I knew it needed to be done. Really needed to be done but I was too overwhelmed with all our stuff I didn’t know where to start. I kept putting it off. Then a couple of weeks ago Jocelyn posted this on facebook and I […]
China Garden
Saturday the weather was absolutely beautiful! Unlike today which is very windy and cold.

One Little Match {Book Review}
If you were to ask my kids, “What is one story you remember from General Conference?” Almost all of them would answer, “When Pres. Monson talked about lighting a fire when he was a boy.” The book One Little Match expounds on the story adding more details about the boy Thomas S. Monson and his […]
Sleep Deprivation is NOT Good for a Mom
Okay, ladies. I have a question for you today! How do you train your kids to go to bed earlier? Daylight Savings is killing me! We have no problem getting the older kids to get to bed but the two youngest ones aren’t going to bed until 11pm or later. I get up every morning […]
Art Inspiration for Your Weekend
My laptop finally died. Kaput. Gone. Thankfully I knew it was coming and saved everything I wanted to save on an external hard drive. Now I get to share my husband’s laptop! He actually doesn’t mind at all and insisted on it. Sweet guy, he is! It’s taking a little getting used because its a […]
Discipline Tactics for Whining, Tantrums, and Laziness
So Sunday. The day that is supposed to be restful? Yeah, that. Church this past Sunday was anything but and I realize it was mostly my fault. Oh, sure the two year old was the one acting up, throwing a toy tractor and baler at the grandfatherly gentleman sitting behind us. And when I asked […]

It’s Okay To be Unorganized
I just had to show you how organized and on top of things I am today. Ta-da! This is my outfit of the day to greet my visiting teachers (women from church who come and visit once a month). Isn’t it so lovely? My favorite part is the greasy hair pulled back in a ponytail. […]
Bed Head, Ice Cream Cones, and Chubby Legs a-Walking
It has been too long since I posted about the kids! Guess who is walking now? He is such a happy kid who gives us the best cheesy grins ever. Junior Mint also loves it when his brothers share their ice cream cones with him. Ganache is talking more and LOVES to run and laugh […]
Got a Question? Ask Away!
Someone submitted a question via facebook recently asking for help in sleep training young children for an Establish the House post. While that post is in the works (I want to get a variety of mothers giving their advice) I thought it would be a great idea to use today’s post as a way for […]
