Come What May, and LOVE IT!
These notes are in honor of a great man, Joseph B Wirthlin, who passed away in his sleep on Monday night at the age of 91. I got a call last night form his granddaughter, a good friend of mine, and immediately thought of his talk from last October’s General Conference of the Church of…
Our Nativity Collection
There’s nothing like letting 5 kids loose on 4 bins packed with exciting things they haven’t seen for a full year. Add to that thousands of messy pine needles all over the carpet (I swear they are ALL over the house!) and all of the poorly-placed ornaments that ended up on the ground over night…
The quest for the perfect tree
We bundled up last night after dinner, packed everyone in the van and drove to our favorite neighborhood Christmas tree lot: I’m not joking. It’s our tradition. We get our tree here every year. PB is a fresh-tree stickler. One year, some friends invited us to go tree shopping with them to a quaint little…
Monday Menu Planning

More about me than you ever wanted to know…..
My friend, Safire, tagged me last week. Woohoo! Another one! :) It makes days like today easier for me. I don’t have to think about what I’m going to post. So here we go. Lots of questions about ME! 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?My mom named me after a girl that she had babysat…
Was it the turkey?
I don’t know if it was the turkey or the CRAB that my kids ate last night, or simply the late night and another day off school, but the kids woke up in crabby moods today. Reese was the first to wake me up–at 3:04am–because of a sore throat. I checked her throat….Surprise! Another red,…
Happy Thanksgiving!
The 24 lb turkey is in the oven, stuffed and seasoned. PB commented that it was the biggest turkey he’s ever lifted. He was worried that the oven rack would be able to handle it (can you see the rack sagging a little?!). It’s already making the house smell heavenly. When I was stuffing it,…
