Living in a small town has tons of advantages. Like seeing someone you know every single time you go to the grocery store looking like crap. But living in Rapid really does have perks. The downtown a...
We went to Washington DC this weekend for a birthday party, a family reunion of sorts, for sight seeing. We drank wine non-stop all weekend. And by non-stop, I need you to understand I mean that lite...
Dad retires tomorrow. Congratulations to the the most inspiring, smart, kind, loving, amazing man I’ve ever known. The hairless chickens are a good start for all that’s yet to come –...
Running along the sidewalk this morning, I’d make mental deals with myself. If I make it to the end corner, next bench, over the bridge, to the tree with low branches, I could stop. This way, I...
Last night at Cade’s soccer practice, Mom told me that someone from church told her to tell me hi. That we’ve never met, but she reads the blog daily and wanted me to know. And I told Mom...
Setting the tone at home is one of the most important but UNSPOKEN realities of being a parent. Don’t you think? Yesterday as I was driving the kids home from school, I looked at Cade in the re...
Lindsay and Noah were here for the weekend so we were very busy doing nothing at all. She’s adorable and hilarious, and he is adorable and as sweet as can be. Love that they are in Casper and a...
We’re BBQing tonight and I’m most excited about this idea: Take brown paper sacks and cut the tops off. Stamp something cute on the exterior, like your Monogram, and stuff them full of ch...

April 28 | 2012 She wore a custom gown made just for her and she waited all morning to wear a beautiful, very thin, gold wedding band. He wore an easy smile and grey suit to match the old world elega...
My little itty bitty nephew Noah sent me a special package yesterday. A light-as-a-feather box arrived on the front porch with an “open with caution” warning written on the front. As I ca...
I can push the kids on swings and run around a merry-go-round until they scream with delight. I can take them for walks and ice cream cones and snuggle and kiss boo boos and make dinner and read stor...
As the sun started to set on Saturday night, we were ending our hike along a trail that followed a stream through the canyon. The late afternoon air was still, and we gradually lost the layers of coa...
Healthy lunch box ideas here. Liquid sidewalk chalk here. The most beautiful painting by Laurence Amelie that I wish I could replicate here. Homemade poptarts here. Blood Orange Sangria recipe here. ...
Sooooo. I was keeping what I have been reading on my iPad a secret, but apparently every woman in the country is reading this series, too. It’s no secret! (Warning: If you are offended by sexua...
After endless minutes of, “I’m coming Mom …!” She rounds the corner of the yard with these on her feet. Tottering across the grass as fast as her little legs can take her. In ...
Whatever you want to do – do it. There are only so many tomorrows. (This includes Peek a Boo on a side street in the middle of an ordinary day.)
This is for Caeden. The one who just turned 7. The one who loves to graph anything. Who plays hours on end by himself with a box and his imagination. Who can build a complex Lego set without the slig...
Sweet Laurel, When your feet are tucked under your tush and you’re sitting on the sofa with your Mom. When you ask what you were like as a child and who you looked like as a baby. When you wo...
I’m a bit girlie. I will choose a dress over jeans any day. I paint my toes. If I could get away with having the entire house white with pops of aqua and pink, I’d do it. However. Now tha...
This was Easter two years ago. I still love that tie and I love Bear’s (mostly) toothless grin. I had forgotten how long it took for her teeth come in… Here’s Dad eliciting the faci...
Tweaking. There was a late night conversation last night about tweaking. Reassessing. Reevaluating what is important. Talked about what really makes a person happy and what doesn’t. Tweaking my...
I had a request for another music post. I think my cardio playlists will make you laugh. I get stuck on old music – liking the rhythm to run or the lyrics to make me run faster – and I ra...
1. Needing to find a signature cocktail to serve at the reception. Wondering how early we can get away with cocktail hour with a late morning ceremony? (How about everyone leave their watches at home...
XOXO.
XOXO … and then triple it.
Our summer wedding … Picture this. Late morning ceremony held outside. Chairs circled around us … instead of in rows. Promises and vows and tears and smiles and rings and children and a ...
