Making Mother's day last
For those of you who take joy in celebrating mother’s day, may I encourage you to appreciate your mother/sister/gramma on an ongoing basis? Should our appreciation for our moms shine one day a year? We should intentionally acknowledge this day, this occasion more than once a year. Let her know how much you love her.

There is great innocence and wisdom that can be learned from the minds of children. I was just thinking of the joys and freedoms of childhood, if you’ve been blessed with a good, normal one, that is. (Which can be relative, I know)
Tonight, I was reminded of treasuring the simple joys of life, you [...]

Our recent family trip to Reno, NV to see Rick’s family. It was a looong drive. An hour into it, the infamous question already arises…” are we there yet?” oh boy, chips ahoy! “no, honey, we’re not there yet.” another hour…”are we there yet?” “no honey, not yet.” after a few hours, they took [...]
I want to thank the elders of my church for granting me a sabbatical leave to attend the following conference in Spokane, WA. I’m really looking forward to it. I have heard great things about this church from a missionary family that we support which attended this church while living in Spokane. Actually, you [...]
Ok, so I’m apparently one of the strange few (adults) that actually enjoy snow. It’s been cold here in Idaho. I’m freezing here in my office too. For some reason, the 2 front rooms in the upstairs of the house, doesn’t get well circulated air (not good). So, in the summer, it’s smoltering. In the [...]
Ok, well, it’s not so new but new to us. Yes, folks, finally, after 3 years of anticipation, my husband bought us a van! THANKS HONEY! … But wait, it needs a new windshield… and oh, don’t roll the windows more than a couple inches or it will get stuck…and oh you can’t use the [...]
Apologies to the Obama's "potential" grandchildren
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Obama,
I want to express to you that my child is NOT a “punishment” to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzmly28Bmg
Let me give you a little background, if I may. In my junior year in high school, I made a mistake. The mistake was having premarital sex. Well, as a result (or [...]
We went for a walk this morning with some 700+ in the freezing cold in Boise for the annual “Buddy Walk” to raise awareness for Down Syndrome. For more information, visit http://www.idahodownsyndrome.org and http://www.buddywalk.org.

Camping in our backyard because I am too scared to go into the woods

I’m not mormon. Nor am I crazy. But ever since I was little, I always wanted a large family. My husband was not a fan of the idea but I think it’s growing on him. We currently share 3 children and have been working on #4 for the last year. At least I’ve been making him [...]
I happened to run into ol’ Honest Abe at the “God and Country” Rally in Nampa, ID on July 2nd. He wasn’t too bothered by the 100 degree heat. Anyhow, it was a real privilege to meet the man who occupies a place on the penny and $5 bill.
