Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
Anyone who knows me knows that I pretty much read exclusively by audio books. I don't even remember the last time I made it entirely through a regular book. Every time I try to read them, I fall asleep within about ten minutes and/or get interrupted by someone (*cough cough KIDS cough cough*). I have a pretty busy schedule and reading books with my eyeballs just doesn't fit in. But I enjoy reading. So obviously audio books are a great … [Read more...]
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...]
As you might know, unless you are living under a rock--in which case I fully excuse you because clearly you have other issues, I have been trying to lose weight this year. And anyone who knows me can attest to my love of chocolate. (Unheard of--a woman love chocolate?) But chocolate is no bueno for the diet. But there is good news! Hershey's has just come out with brand new chocolates that are low-fat! In fact, Hershey’s Simple … [Read more...]
I was actually excited to do my Weigh-In post this week because I lost weight. But life handed us a lemon this week. One gigantic heart-breaking lemon. I appreciate all of your comments, love, and prayers. We thought for a brief moment that my sister-in-law would be healed. But God is all-knowing and He has another plan for Alice. She took a turn for the worse Monday night and was declared brain dead on Tuesday. She … [Read more...]
I'm gonna be honest here...I am completely uninspired right now to write this blog post. This is the typical time when I would just skip a day and say, "eh--who's gonna care?" But it is WEDNESDAY and I made a commitment to write a Weight In Wednesday post every week. I'm apparently more committed to writing this weekly post than I am to actually losing weight. April is killin' me. It's my busiest month hands down, next to December. … [Read more...]
So I'm sure you've heard the rumors...that Google Friend Connect is on its deathbed. You know that little box over thar with all the faces that says 2025 or something? Ya, that means that 2025 of you won't be able to read this fabulous blog. March 1st is the day. So I just wanted to let you know that you and I can still be friends, if you wanna. I wanna. So to see the latest blog posts, you can... Follow … [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. Scratch … [Read more...]
