My first Family Friday blog is dedicated to this beautiful girl! Leneyah Lorraine Maxey turned 3 this week! It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up. She's smart. She's sassy. She is super funny. She is sensitive. She is caring. Three years ago, during this time of year while I was in the… Continue reading Family Friday – Miracle Baby

Warrior Wednesday – Defining my inner Warrior
The other day I tried to explain to my husband that I feel like warrior… have always thought I was a warrior. I find myself constantly on guard. I often dream of combat… with a sword. I am fierce. I defend family like a lioness. I find myself in constant “fight” mode and rarely in… Continue reading Warrior Wednesday – Defining my inner Warrior
Thoughts Tuesday – Random Thoughts
Thoughts Tuesday is all about the random thoughts I get throughout the day. Nothing could be further from the truth! My brain is on such an overload thinking about all the stuff I need to get done, and all the road blocks that I hit, that I can't seem to make progress in anything! This… Continue reading Thoughts Tuesday – Random Thoughts
Menu Monday – Eat to Live
It all started with this book. Well... Maybe a little before this book, but this book is what has rocketed my journey forward. For the past year I have been feeling pretty crappy. Headache. Sore feet that are so bad I can't walk well. Sore knees and hips. Poor sleep. Now I am not one… Continue reading Menu Monday – Eat to Live
Scripture Sunday – Jesus IS the Plan
Hannah is getting to go to the temple for the first time. As a result she has been discussing the temple prep lessons with me (McKay and Myles through Skype today). Today's subject is The Plan. This plan was designed to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. This plan includes a… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – Jesus IS the Plan
WORK – A four-letter Word
This blog is for Kimber, who did a great job teaching Relief Society today on the value of work and self-reliance. So many wanted to contribute to the thoughts shared that she didn’t get to say all the things she had prepared for the lesson, but she got me thinking and I should record my… Continue reading WORK – A four-letter Word
A little Catch up… ok, a ton of Catch UP!
So much to catch up on... It's been since February. How does time move so fast? Ok... In February we celebrated Ben's birthday. Chad visited some cool ice things on the big lakes in Michigan. It's hard to believe that he still has this white hat. My mom made this white hat for me when… Continue reading A little Catch up… ok, a ton of Catch UP!
January
This scripture thought has been in my mind this past month. From snow days that complicated rehearsals and the opening of a show, to personal trials, January, the opening of 2017 have nor been the smoothest of months. Trials are a great reminder that God is in charge. Trails teach us to love as He… Continue reading January
2016 wrap up
The past week has been a great one! 2016 was a great year and ended just as great! First, we had Christmas morning. Ray, Kimber Ben, and Freya came over before church and opened stockings and presents. I really don't know what's wrong with me, but didn't break out the camera once. LOL Good thing… Continue reading 2016 wrap up
Christmas Traditions and Memories
Today I dashed into Salem to a fabric store... needed to restore some Christmas hope in a project that didn't quite work as planned. On the way home a few Christmas favorites came to mind that I need to share. Memory number one: the frantic "secret" plans of a tired "Santa" (a.k.a. mom) making last… Continue reading Christmas Traditions and Memories
