Ada Bitner was born on June 30, 1880, the daughter of Breneman Barr Bitner and Sarah Ann […]
Wedding Photos
Wow! The photographer we got for Eve and Patrick’s wedding was awesome. And fast!

Let’s just say spring time weddings, especially on Temple Square in Salt Lake, get some beautiful help from Mother Nature. […]

My Top 5 Pieces of Homeschooling Advice
Advice is a funny thing. It can be bad or good, solicited or not, freely given yet not willingly taken. Why should/would anyone care what I think? I don’t know. As part of Sonlight’s March Blog party celebrating their 25th anniversary all year long we were asked to “Share the best homeschooling advice you have […]
