So what would happen at your house if you decided to only buy the very essentials for 30 days? Could you make it without giving in to that urge to buy a Wendy’s shake or a the cute new skirt? How much would you save? Mary over at OwlHaven is spearheading a little project called […]

Olympic Coverage
I have a little complaint to make. We love watching the Olympics. Who doesn’t? But our satellite (we have Dish Network) mysteriously loses the local stations’ signal everyday during the magical hours between 4pm and 1am. No other stations are affected, of course, just NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and Fox. Normally it’s no big deal. […]

Homeschool Decisions 2008
I’ve been going through my homeschool bookshelves – weeding out books, being reminded of ones I forgot I had, making lists of what I’d like to use. I’m having a bit of a dilemma. I can’t decide what to do this year! Normally after researching different curriculum, textbooks, and workbooks I buy what I think […]
Orange Mouths Mean a Contest
Last week my adorable Fudge drew a picture of a mom, dad, and daughter. She showed it to me and asked me to guess why all their mouths were orange. I was able to guess fairly easily because she is my daughter and I know her. I’ve been thinking about it ever since and decided […]
Can you see the heart?
I’ve been photographing the flowers in my “wild”flower garden trying to catalog all of them. Imagine my surprise when I noticed the heart in the petals of this flower later as I was labeling the photos on the computer. I’m not certain what type of flower this is. I believe it is some type of […]

Dreams of Flying
Photography is an art. Maybe I should rephrase that. Good photography is an art. I love wasting my time looking through Flickr or Stumbling photography sites . I like to get ideas, see new ways of looking at the world around me, finding out how a different angle can change the meaning or interpretation of […]

We were able to go to the temple, get some shopping done, and eat at one of my favorite restaurants, […]
