I am catching up on my blog 20 months late. My sweet Honey passed away on October 14th 2017 after being my best lady for just shy of 15 years. I say how much later I am writing this because I just realized that still 20 months later each morning I reach down to pet […]
Double Digits for Poki! My sweet Poki bear is the sweetest, most creative and witty girl I know. I hope she wants to hang out with me until I’m a little old lady. She had breakfast in bed with her sisters, a tradition she requested a few years back to begin in our home. […]
Our sweet Honey was aging and getting slower and slower each day. But my original plan for our 2017 family school year theme did not involve Honey the dog. It involved Beehives, little bee soaps, a glass window hanger of a beehive, a bumble bee table runner. Around the same time I had ordered 4 […]
2017 school year arrived! Nordstrom anniversary sale is where I get the girls’ back to school clothes. The older girls tease me because I always get them black, blue, gray, and more black clothing. Shae is very pleased that I do that. And I would never try to pull a fast […]
This holiday break I want to write down all the memories I can before they dwindle even more in my brain. Family blogging is a dead art but it’s the only way I journal in my life. My iphone is to capacity at 10,000 pictures of things we have done. Big life changes have happened, […]
Braids. I wish I could do them on myself and for the girls. I can do pigtail braids and that is about it. But they are so perfectly pretty. Shae went to her first real “friend party” and she was so excited. Can you tell in the picture? I bet she was really quiet when […]
I am not in a Things I’ve Loved Lately mood. I’m in an attending Stake Conference with a 2 and 1 yr old was really painful mood. Also something really upset me badly a couple of weeks back. And I am having a difficult time bouncing back. So lets see if I can do this….it’ll […]
I am bumping this up to the top because now you can print out a nice PDF of the story, and it is edited, which is always good. Right under the picture is a hyperlink of the story. Click on that, the PDF will pop up, and print it out! My great grandmother’s name is […]
I am in the most foul mood ever right this second. So instead of picking up the kitchen like I should, I am going to leave it like a bomb went off. I’ll try to focus on good things, I have a lot of them, what is wrong with me! I am letting things get […]
Summer and I are in a fight right now. I have over-obligated myself in summer fun which is starting not to feel so hot. I want school to start and I want to stay home most days. Get back in the rhythm of waking up early, getting things done, resting, reading, playing, cooking, cleaning. One […]
