Caleb’s last day of Behaven was today. He started attending this behavioral school in February. He went to his public school in the mornings. It put us in a bit of a financial strain for these ...
I’m a rebel. Today I told my daughter’s teacher that I wasn’t going to fill out an end of year survey for a reading program she did. They had already sent a copy of it home and I st...
How cute is that girl? A few weeks ago Eva told me that her class had earned a beach day and she was upset because she didn’t have a special beach dress to wear. I decided to put my sewing mach...
For years I’ve been meaning to put my blog in book form and I finally got around to starting. This volume covers the beginning through the end of 2005. Eva was born, we moved to Nebraska, I ate...
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Mother’s Day. Infertility has always made me super sensitive to the subject and it just hasn’t been my favorite holiday. This year I didn’t ...
I’ve been going back in the archives of my blog and formatting it into book form using Blurb.com (affiliate link–you can get 15% off). It’s been such a joy to go back and read those...
For some reason I’ve got some rants to get out today. I’m too lazy to check the archives but I’m sure I’ve blogged about this before. 1. To the mayor of Lincoln, NE–are ...
I had a very vivid dream the other night and it came up during my therapy session today. Things are going really well for me right now and my therapist was asking me about whether or not I think my d...
On Saturday, our family made the trip down to Kansas City to visit the new Kansas City LDS temple. They are having an open house right now and the public is allowed to go inside and see it. The kids ...
I had a bit of fun reorganizing our entryway this week. As you can see from the before, there wasn’t much organization going on. Everything was piled on a coffee table and spilling off the side...
Well, I’ve done it. I started my new website and I’m ready to show it off to the world. It’s called Real Food Really Good and it is full of recipes that are WAIT FOR IT……...
I took this picture a few weeks ago when I was in a doctor’s office with my daughter. She was diagnosed with pneumonia that day. February was a long, long month for us filled with illnesses and...
I had my last training session today. I’m down 8 lbs but more importantly, I have big muscle bumps in my arms. I like that. My middle is still flabby flab and sore from lots of crazy exercises ...
Just today I was saying that things are going well in my life. I have a new project I’m working on (details here soon!), my kids are being pretty good (for them), and I just feel like I’m...
It’s pretty difficult to take a picture of yourself wearing a necklace when there is nobody else around to help. Here is my best effort. I made this necklace over the break and it didn’t ...
I spray painted a canvas over the break. This is hanging in our bathroom. We can all use a little reminder of this now and then. The canvas is 16 x 20 and I used my cricut to cut out the letters in ...
I love to read books about food. I just finished one yesterday called, “The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry”. It’s about the author’s desire to graduate from Le Cordon Bl...
For the past few months I’ve been spending a lot of time on our family dynamics. It isn’t the kind of thing that makes for good blogging. Well, some of it does– police visits...
My wreath lasted 2 days on my door before the kids destroyed it. They were shatter proof ornaments so it can be fixed. I’m just going to mourn its loss for a few days before I start over. Santa...
Thanks, Pinterest, for the idea for this super easy and cheap wreath! I bought some shatterproof ornaments and then strung them around a clothes hangar. I got the bow from a craft shop and twist tied...
Here’s a crap webcam pic taken of me just moments ago. I have new hair and new glasses. The new hair was by choice. The glasses were not. My last pair were a casualty of an altercation with a ...
I fell in love with this product at the Craft & Hobby Association trade show a while back. I’m not being paid by them to write this post, but I am using an affiliate link (so if you click a...
Here are my kids ready to go out and get hopped up on candy.
I’ve been contemplating space. No, not that kind. I just love that photo. And, for the record…I’ve never seen an episode of Star Trek. EVER. Back to my point. I am craving space. No...
This past weekend was the 181st Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We get to hear from our leaders on a variety of subjects and I look forward to it eve...
I have no idea what kind of yarn this is but I got it from a friend a couple of years ago. It is beautiful and nice to work with. It just isn’t destined to be a finished product. I tried to mak...
My friend Jacqui wanted a scripture tote for church so I started searching online for a good pattern. Instead of an actual scripture tote, I found this pattern for a super cute bag and Jacqui was sol...
I’m working really hard to make my house a place that I love. My bedrooom is in serious need of TLC. I’m working with a full wall of French doors that lead out to a deck we never use. Tha...
Oh, Caleb. That kid cracks me up. His teacher had him fill out this form for us to get at parent teacher conferences. It’s kind of hard to read in the picture, so here is what it ...
First week of WW and I’m down 2.8 lbs. I’m actually kind of surprised because I had a big emotional eating binge-fest last night at Texas Roadhouse. But, I was pretty good the rest of the...
