I’ve been keeping track of my week, day by day, and participating in Adventuroo’s Week in the Life series. I’m afraid that Monday and Tuesday were more interesting, photo wise, although I took more photos today (473!!) than any other day this week. As soon as I got the kids to school this morning, I…
When Did You Find Out The Sex of Your Baby?
I remember clearly the day in 1996 when I took my very first pregnancy test. I had been married for 11 months, and my husband and I had decided to go off the pill just weeks before. I never expected to see that line, but it was clear: I was pregnant. I was thrilled and…
A Week in My Life: Day 2
I’m linking up again today with Adventuroo’s A Week in the Life series, taking a close-up look at everything I’m doing this week. My day started out early. I thought that sleepless nights with wakeful kids were something that I left behind years ago. Not so. Last night, AJ fell off my bed (yes, he…
The Season Has Begun – Wordless Wednesday

A Week in My Life: Day 1
The other day, my friend Mel from Adventuroo invited me to participate in her Week in the Life blogging carnival. Although my life seems more chaotic than interesting these days, I thought I’d play along. MONDAY: Sleeping in: I slept in a blissful hour and a half longer than I usually do this morning….
What Do YOU Do With the Leftovers?
I like cooking dinner. I just hate planning it. And I am not a big fan of throwing something together at the last minute (those kind of meals are rarely very healthy and often not too tasty). As a mom to a big family, cooking dinner is a big part of my job…and dinners need…
OldBooth App – My Family’s Newest Craze
We’re a little obsessed… Let me start off my saying that this is not sponsored. True story – I was looking through pictures on Instagram the other day when I saw a photo that cracked me up. The caption mentioned an app called OldBooth, so I checked out the App Store on my iPhone and…
Halloween Craft Idea – Cheap and Easy “3D” Paper Pumpkins
Years ago, I made a wooden pumpkin craft at a church event. I have kept that pumpkin and displayed it every October-November since then. Last night, as I lay un-sleeping in my bed, I realized that I could re-create that craft for my kids with hardly any cost. I couldn’t wait to try it…
Mornings – Photostory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot
My mornings start at 5:00 am. My first alarm goes off and I check to make sure that my oldest daughter is awake and getting ready for her early morning seminary class before high school. I go back to sleep until 5:40 am, when I take up my position at the front window, watching for…
Postpartum Depression – My Story
Today, 5 Minutes for Mom and a handful of other blogs are posting about postpartum depression and a very important campaign to both raise awareness and funds for Postpartum Progress. Janice asked if I would share my story of Postpartum Depression on her post, and after writing it down – something that I had never…
