A poem for your thoughts

It’s funny, I never figured I’d be one of those people that get’s behind on blogging. After all, not much is going on in my life. I don’t have kids to give updates about and share their cute stories, I don’t have a husband to brag about his accomplishments or Read more…

Belated Holidays

I’m a little behind with my holiday pictures. I blame Blogger… this whole thing about not being able to upload more pictures . Although, given the two I just tested and posted below…. it seems to be working again???  So, my mom came out to visit her Utah chillens and Read more…

A bit of 2012

I had great intentions of writing more over my Christmas holiday. Of course, I left my journal and my laptop back in Utah. The journal.. well that’s hard to replace. I could have gotten on any computer to blog, but I didn’t. I definitely did some reflecting at home, thinking Read more…

Weddings!

Before I get into this picture post, I just wanted to mention something. I was working on my computer settings and when I went to my blog, it ended up doing an address search for it. One of the post results it pulled up was about this past February/March or Read more…

Oh Brother…

In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I have seven brothers.  Yup. 7. Brothers. Boys, every one of them. And as the only girl, I think some may wonder how I escaped that experience being so… feminine. I imagine my mom had a big hand in that, especially since she got Read more…

A Produce-tive Summer

So while the parents were off galavanting in London, I was working hard at home to keep the garden going! We had a rash of cucumbers come on and one Saturday night I felt possessed to make pickles. Thankfully, I had enough sense to make the easy freezer pickles, not Read more…
