I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers.
Weird.
I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children.
Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have on this planet [...]

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift!
We were sad to [...]

If the response to my last blog post is any indication, Grandparents really are special people! What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions!
Today I read about another special Grandma, [...]

Pollyanna. Rose-colored glasses. Optimistic to a fault. Miss Happy. Somehow, we can be intimidated by people with a positive attitude. We tend to think they are ‘gifted’ with a positive attitude and maybe they just haven’t had any real trials in life. That their struggles are easier on them because they have optimism in their [...]

Sundays are, perhaps, my favorite day of the week. I believe in the holiness of the Sabbath and I keep it as such. Therefore, I do no shopping, cleaning or work on Sundays. Sundays are reserved for worship, family, and renewal (read: afternoon nap!).
Ahhh… but Fridays!
Fridays are definitely my next favorite and holy in their [...]

I love the ordinary, simple and everyday treasures of life.
Like my sewing machine. This little Kenmore is 20 years old this fall. I have never had it serviced or cleaned. I have read the manual through three or four times, but I still don’t understand all about tension or how to use the stretch [...]

Enjoy [...]

My list this week is simple and full of the little things that make my life right now awesome.
I am thankful for:
1. Discovering how little ’stuff’ I need in my life. I thought I was a fairly simple gal with a pared-down life before. And then we moved here and started our post-business journey and [...]

My sister, Darcie, who lives entirely too far away from me, has taken to posting a list of gratitudes each Thursday. I thought this was such a great idea! It can be hard to remember all that is good in our lives, but I believe gratitude is the ultimate antidote for all sorts of social [...]
