I have invited a wonderful guest blogger today, Amber, to share a little about a project she and several other women have created called Women of Faith. Anna and Amber came to present their project a little over a week ago to our ward (church congregation) and it was so lovely! I also got to […]
My Summer Reading List
Today the mountains are covered in mist as a light drizzle continues to fall in our valley. It rained all day yesterday. We don’t have any hay down so it is welcome rain. The highs are only in the 70s. Naturally the windows are open, the enticing scent of wet sagebrush wafting through. Misty Mountains […]
My Stalwart Ancestors
One of my favorite shows (actually the only one I really watch other than 19 Kids and Counting) is Who Do You Think You Are? on TLC. It’s a genealogy show that helps famous people find out some of the secrets of their family’s past. A new season just started two weeks ago in the […]
Mind Organization for Moms (M.O.M.) from the Power of Moms {Giveaway}
A while ago I mentioned I had a new system of organization I was working on. It’s not so much a system of organizing my house, but rather one that organizes all the paper that comes in via mail, kids drawings and letters, and all the to-do lists that I have written down or have […]
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. […]
The Latest Gossip
♥ I need a new laptop. Like yesterday. It won’t charge anymore, even with a newish cord and battery, so if it comes unplugged for even a split second I have to restart it. Or if the cord gets jiggled just a tiny bit it restarts on its own. I can’t complain too much as […]
My Ancestral DNA Composition
Right around Thanksgiving I ordered DNA tests from 23andMe for both Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I. We were just curious to see what our genetic make-up was and, in my case, to see how diverse it is. It’s no secret we both love our ancestors and as much as possible tell our children their stories. […]
LDS Online Influencers Meetup
Several weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to meet some really great people at an LDS Online Influencers Meetup at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was sponsored by Boncom and Mormon.Org. Brittany Jepsen from The House That Lars Built (LOVED that she wore a Mexican dress!) designs beautiful prints. Melanie Day of Sugardoodle […]
I’m a Woman with a Husband and Kids and I’m Not Sorry
“His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley. “I wish I had time to tell you even a few of the tales or one or two […]
Dwell
The day my five youngest were sick with a stomach bug, when I only had 3 1/2 hours of sleep, I had nothing to complain about. I realized these were precious moments, although uncomfortable and smelly and not how I wanted to spend two days before Christmas. I still had all my children. That same […]
Why are Your Favorite Bloggers Mormon?
my 8th grade school picture Back in the eighth grade I walked into my homeroom class at the end of a school day to find the rest of the class discussing differences in religious beliefs. As soon as I walked in one friend saw me and asked the teacher, “What about Mormons? What do they […]
Silly me
The organist for our church was gone fighting fires in Oregon yesterday so I substituted at the last minute. I was particularly pleased during the intermediate hymn as I played the prelude thinking, “I am doing pretty good for not having played this hymn for a while.” Two measures into the hymn I realized I […]
I am a body builder
A nice little article, Changing the World One Baby at a Time, appeared in the Church News this weekend. And a funny thing happened. I noticed in my blog stats that people were googling my name and finding their way here. (Welcome, by the way, to those of you who did just that.) It was […]
Five Minute Friday: Beautiful
Today I’m joining Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, no worrying about perfect grammar, font, or punctuation. Join us! This week’s topic: Beautiful Go! My oldest says it on the way home from the family BBQ. “Is it just me or was the sky particularly beautiful this […]
La Familia July 2013
Monday evening we headed out to Water Canyon to update our family photo. It was windy and we could see storm clouds in the distance. It was those storm clouds that brought lightning that sparked the wildfire. Regardless of the weather we actually got a few good photos! Hurray for cooperative children, a tripod and […]
