Dwell Printables
To remind myself to dwell more in the simple moments of the day, my one goal for the year, I created simple signs that are hanging above my favorite red shelf. This is the one spot that I can consistently decorate for the season that won’t be destroyed or rearranged by little fingers. It is […]
Writing to and for Our Children
In reading family history stories from both my husband’s side as well as mine I have noticed that many times the details of the women’s lives are missing. The men wrote their own autobiographies, mentioned things that may have happened to the women in their lives, but the women’s perspectives are glaringly missing. There are […]

How I Potty Train My Children
Remember last week how I wrote about puke? I jinxed myself. Guess who ended up getting sick last Wednesday night? Yeah. Not very fun and it totally knocked me out, so much that my husband was teasing be about being a wimp. I hope I’m not setting myself up again with this week’s Establish a […]

(Frederick Morgan, Off for the Honeymoon) Over the Christmas break there were some major happenings in Utah about same-sex marriage.

Does This Insecurity Make Me Look Fat? {Book Review}
Have you ever had the experience of being the last one on a crowded elevator? How about be the last one and then have nothing happen after the doors close, only to then have a warning blast over the speakers, “Weight overload. There is too much weight on this elevator.

Handling the yucky sickness
Establish a House is a series I run every Tuesday with posts that cover cleaning to cooking, discipline to diapers, and everything in between. You can read more about the series here. Today we are talking throw-up, vomit, puke, upchuck – whatever you call it at your house. It’s not pretty, very smelly but something […]
Dwell
The day my five youngest were sick with a stomach bug, when I only had 3 1/2 hours of sleep, I had nothing to complain about. I realized these were precious moments, although uncomfortable and smelly and not how I wanted to spend two days before Christmas. I still had all my children. That same […]
Renewed
It started the day my oldest returned for Christmas break. We laid out a tablecloth, placed bowls brimming with candy down the middle of the table, gave each child a bag of pure white royal icing, and let them build a house. With each squeezing and glopping of frosting, each licking and crunching of candy, […]
