Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I had the best intentions of showing you this really cute and fun Valentines craft today but instead of spending the afternoon working and photographing it, I spent the afternoon crying and rocking in the corner, clutching my knees. Okay, not really, but that's what I felt like doing inside. Let me share a story with you... If you live in Utah, you know that we have been absolutely DUMPED on with snow this week. Every day snow falls, … [Read more...]
It's been five months since my dear sister-in-law passed away, just days after giving birth to her third child, a baby girl. If you've been following my blog, you know the sad story. You also know that we've been accepting donations for my brother and his family, to help them during their transitional time. Thank you all SO MUCH for your donations! They have meant so, so much to us. There are so many of you who have felt our heartache, … [Read more...]
I believe in therapy. Basically I believe in talking to someone to sort through your issues and problems. And sometimes if they are a little too complex, someone who has studied human behavior is excellent to help you figure things out. I've been to therapy several times in my life--I'm not afraid to admit it. Let's think this out, shall we? As women, what do we really all want, pretty much all the time? Someone to talk to.

I'm not one to gush about how amazing my husband is. Sometimes I feel like when people do that it feels a little forced, as if to say "I'm bragging about my husband so you don't know how crappy my life really is!" Which is silly, I know. (So feel free to continue to gush about your honey on FB.) It's just not typically me. But this week I have been away from my sweetheart and every day--no, more like every minute--I've been realizing … [Read more...]

I had a really, really sad moment on Saturday. One of those moments where you just feel like a terrible, awful mother and you're so sad that you broke your little boy's heart. As you might have realized, I am starting to have an addiction to thrifting. I find myself getting super excited to go to Savers or Goodwill to see what junky treasures I can unearth. I don't really think this is a bad thing (there are much … [Read more...]
Read Part 1 of How We Met ...Aaron picked up the next evening for our date. He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt (which nicely showed off those HUGE biceps) and gave me a hug right off the bat. Uh-oh. He was a 'nice guy.' I never dated 'nice guys.' I mean, I didn't date motorcycle-riding, joint-smoking, club-hopping jerks, but my 'type' was usually the guy who is self-confident and has a good sense of humor. They … [Read more...]
