My side of the closet is bigger than my husband’s side. I have twice as many clothes as he does. Not because I am a fashionista, far from it! Instead my clothing is divided into regular, maternity, and in-between. One shelf for each {see, I told you I am not a crazy clothing lady!}. The […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Adjusting to the Unexpected
2008. That has been the hardest year of my life to date. It started off with good news – another baby would be joining our family! And I was busy planning a surprise trip for Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s birthday to visit Kirtland, Palmyra, and Niagara Falls – just the two of us. Tens days before […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Our Love Story
The love story of Joseph and I is a bit long and it is still ongoing. There are also many views and perspectives that can be added, after all when the bride is so young there are bound to be some complications. =) But since this is our story and I am writing it, I […]
Cranial Dump
Sometimes there are so many things on my mind that it is hard to think straight! It’s like when you have a massive to-do list but you don’t know where to start so you don’t do anything. I’m dumping out my head in order to clear it but like reorganizing my closet it’s going to […]
Literary Likenesses
I kind of side skirted answering my own question for Wordfull Wednesday. I wrote what my children thought, rather than who I identified with, and some of you noticed. =) The reason is there really isn’t ONE fictional character that I solely identify with completely. There are, however, many that I can relate to for […]
17 years 23 days
That’s how old I was when I got married. Boy, {I} was young! Yesterday I marked the milestone of being married for 17 years and 23 days. I can now officially say I have been married for half of my life! Look how far we’ve come. Here’s to many more years together with my one […]
About Me
I think I’ve been agonizing too much over what to write for an about me page. Consequently I’ve been putting it off. Now I have forced myself to sit and write until it is done, using an old post for inspiration. Who am I? I am… . . . a baby when I hold a […]
Eucharisteo
{early morning light in my daughter’s bedroom} For the last few months I have been on a personal journey. I’ve realized this is the only real ‘goal’ I want to carry forward going into the new year. Not because I don’t want to accomplish other things or better myself but because this one thing has […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Bravery
As is typical many times when I write, this post took a different twist then I expected. I initially sat to write about a couple of experiences from my childhood but when I started typing, something entirely different came from my fingers. And so I am writing this beginning paragraph last. Last week I made […]

The Challenge: Pick up a paint strip sample with several shades of color on a strip. Write a story or poem that incorporates every paint color name on your paint chip sample. Be creative! A little intro to my story: While at the store I sent my children to get the paint samples. I should […]
As the Dew from heav’n distilling
(source credit) We all know hindsight is 20/20. When you look back at your life you can see all the different ways the Lord has blessed you, answered your prayers in unexpected ways, lead you down paths you didn’t even know existed to bring you to where you are today, at this moment, where you […]
Changes
First the bad news. . . This is my constant companion now for the next eight weeks. I have to check my blood sugar levels four times a day – a fasting check in the morning before eating anything, then one hour after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s not too bad. I found my pinkies […]

Of Things That Matter Most Part B
screen shot of Cookie & Fudge on lds.org a continuation of my personal study notes from last Sunday about Pres. Uchtdorf’s general conference talk “Of Things That Matter Most.” “Our second key relationship is with our families. Since “no other success can compensate for failure” here, we must place high priority on our families. We […]
