I just read this. Polygamy worldwide (Photo credit: Wikipedia) I, too, have a polygamous background, and I bet if you checked your genealogy, you might just have one too. As you can see from the map,...
Some days you just need to write for the sake of writing. What? I do that everyday. Umm. Yah. I guess I do. I dont usually come here with any agenda per se. I just go for it. Well, unless...
I remember being very afraid of adults when I was a child. They intimidated me so badly. I couldnt even look them in the face. Talking to them was out of the question. They were different beings from...
#7 has had a few naughty days lately. Shes just about to turn three, but at this point, I would say shes mastered the 2s. She wants what she wants when she wants it and she expects everyone else to b...
We saw our eldest off to a week at outdoor school as a counselor. This is probably great practice for seeing her off to college, but I could not sleep last night. Since she was a baby, I have made su...
Im kind of a twit when it comes to Twitter. I have an account, but I havent a CLUE how to use it. I also have a Pinterest account, but Im either doing it wrong, or I have no interest in Pintere...
I woke at 5:30 this morning. My alarm didnt go off; I just woke on my own. I was so happy about this. My goal is to be up and moving before my children are. If they wake before me, I feel that Im alr...
"By the end of the week itll be half strength" was what #4 was told when he went in to have his ear re-checked yesterday. It looks great and you really have to look to find the owie. The doct...
Someone shared the idea of doing Family Home Evening--the meeting/lesson part--on Sunday evening and then doing a family activity on Monday night. Weve decided to give this a shot. Last night, the Wa...
Its a parade day, folks. Did I ever tell you that the Wardens and my first date was to a parade? Yep. Its true. Unidentified Flying Objects (Photo credit: Alan Tippins) With #5 being a Jedi now, were...
Last week, our big ol van (affectionately known as "The Beast") was having some mechanical issues. So much so, that it had to be towed into the shop. I have a AAA membership and actually, the...
As I prepared to graduate from college with a Bachelor of General Studies (arts and letters) degree, I was frequently asked, "What is your degree in?" and "What are you going to do with i...
the corner of this counter #4 cut his ear really badly last night. He fell in the kitchen and hit his ear on the corner of the counter. Its cut all the way through. We ran him across town and got it ...
I needed to share this this morning. For anyone who followed Morgans story here, this is quite touching.
Me; Amanda Larimer, Oregons 2012 Young Mother of the Year, #1 and #3 Today at noon was the annual Mothers Day mass at the Grotto. For you readers who arent familiar with Portland, the Grotto is a ver...
Its 5am, and Im up...on purpose. Yesterday I was up at 4:40. Today was the same. Why havent I done this before?! First of all, happy Mothers Day! Second of all, just a little update on the progress m...
The boxes are empty! I fulfilled three of the baby steps this morning--the first three. YAY!!! I emptied the last box of items from the desk and #6s box of schoolwork and books. I started my li...
Last night when I read this blog and all of its wonderful ideas, I clicked on nearly every link given. They all sat on their own tabs on my browser until I had time to get to them (why am I saying &#...
I guess I veer to the modest side of many things. But doesnt anyone out there have any privacy any more? Before the Warden and I married, the wisest man I know gave me a little piece of parting advic...
Do I have a blog for you! I woke at 4am with my heart beating fast. This doesnt happen very often any more, but in an attempt to figure out just whats causing the adrenaline rush, I get up and check ...
Had an interesting experience today. I gained an even greater appreciation for my mom and her generosity toward others. I also gained a greater understanding of how I need to be about the things she ...
The last four days have been hellish. Im not even kidding. Sweeties been more than a handful, and Ive noticed that my voice has been raised each day. I really am not a yeller by nature. One of the gr...
I need to write. I just need to. Its a compulsion. Funny, but the last couple posts Ive written have started out being about topics other than what they became. I had a completely differe...
I have a child who (do you just cringe when you see me start a blog post like this?) conveys the feeling that mom and dad are evil and out to get said child. Where does this come from? We sat at Fami...
Life is just amazing! If you read this post, you know that Ive had some struggles lately. The month started out so bleak financially, that I neglected to withdraw the cash for the month. It jus...
I got a job yesterday as a freelance writer for a health newspaper. Tomorrow is a major deadline, so although Ive been neglecting this blog, I will be back soon.
