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
Snow Day = Catch up The August through December report
As usual, I have the unusual ability to create chaos in my life and I have not written much in this blog since August. Time to play a little catch up. Kimber took Lillian to a "color" run... Our garden did well this summer and John and I canned pickles... ...and spaghetti sauce from… Continue reading Snow Day = Catch up The August through December report
An Open Letter to Those Who Hate The School Dress Code
I have noticed a ton of resistance to dress codes in schools. I have something to say... get over it. A dress code is not about body shaming. It is not about control. It's not about taking away individuality. The dress code is not about making social divisions. It is not about taking away individual… Continue reading An Open Letter to Those Who Hate The School Dress Code
