This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

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 [...]

Despite having a headache yesterday, I was able to finish my Granddaughter’s scarf and hat set. I love these colors! They seem very Arabela-like to me. Arabela (or Bela, Bels, or Bela-Bug, as she’s known by us) is quite the little imp. She is the happiest little thing! Unless she’s hungry. Do not let this [...]

Things have been a bit hectic at our house the last few weeks, but I am managing to keep up with most of my projects. Many of them are Christmas presents, so I’m hesitant to post them on my blog just yet. But I’m also working on little hat and scarf sets for my Grandchildren [...]

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, [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

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 [...]
