I usually don’t pass these things along, but I loved this one. So Happy Mother’s Day, Moms and Moms-to-be, stand in Moms and women everywhere who have in some way loved a child.
“We are sitting at lunch when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of “starting a family.” “We’re taking [...]
A few weeks ago John and I found a yak…a real yak…(two of them, actually) about 10 minutes from our house. We were looking for a restaurant that we Urban Spooned, and WA LA. Yak.
Just chilling on a yak farm. Tonight after a long, full day of stuff, we decided to go and look for [...]
Guess what came in the mail today? A friend from Utah read this post, and took it upon herself to put the candyless situation right. I got the surprise in the mail, and as I opened it I found…
John’s FAVORITE! and not only that!
Some yummy weight watchers candy for me (yes, the corner is gone…I [...]
Before I started dating John I had NEVER had a real Valentine. I think there was a kid in, like…2nd grade? I don’t remember the details, just running around the playground to get away from him again and again only to realize that I played it completely the wrong way. I WANTED to be caught. [...]
Yes world. I am now 26 years old. This means I am no longer in my early, or even mid twenties. I’m still a 20something, to be sure, but as my brother said, I’m soon to be going over the hill.
All that taken into account, it was a really good day. We had church first [...]
January 2008 Ode to my ridiculousness.
February 2008 Imagine a time when I was mad that my stomach was flat.
March 2008 If only it hadn’t hit my butt eventually.
April 2008 John! This was it! The thing you said you’d only do for me 3 times in life, so I had to use them sparingly! Sigh. That [...]
Before I gave birth I gave the actual birth/babyhood of Jesus only a cursory thought. It happened. He was born, he was a baby. Mary was his mother. This Christmas it’s very different for me. As I listen to the hymns and contemplate Mary riding a donkey into Bethlehem I think about how I could [...]
The Thanksgiving Holiday was a good one. My Mom-in-law thought that I might have been wigged out by the reservation, and I was thinking I might be, to be honest. We didn’t experience any pan handling or get chased by any stray rez dogs (even though there was a beautiful blue boxer mix that I [...]
We’re home! We spent Thanksgiving in Many Farms, AZ with John’s parents. They are serving a mission on the Navejo reservation and we brought our Camper down to get tons of cuddles from Grandma and Grandpa and eat lots o’ food. Well, bottles, anyway. It was a really good visit, and I’ll update more on [...]
I think we’re learning how to “embrace” Camper’s sleeping schedule. A friend of mine told me that she gives her baby boy warm bottles at night, as opposed to room temperature, and that it helps him sleep longer. I was reluctant to try warming bottles because I was afraid that Camper wouldn’t take the lukewarm [...]
