Discover

There’s no download this week – I needed a little break.  However, something has been on my mind that I want to share with you instead.
In the scrapbooking world there are a plethora of products on the market that have the word “discover” on them.  Trust me – I’ve created a ton myself.  I always [...]

Lessons From Rock Band

When we first moved into our house about a year ago we planned a family get-together with my family.  My brother was down from Washington with his kids plus all of my siblings that live here in Utah so we were going to have a full house for dinner and hanging out.

It’s a Poll Day – Maternity Clothes

I didn’t buy a lot of maternity clothes while I was pregnant.  I hate shopping in general and hated the idea of “wasting” money on clothes that I would only wear for a short time anyway.  So I made due with a lot of the tops I already had and just kept rotating the few [...]

Download Day – Friendship

I was just having  a conversation with a neighbor a few days ago about friendship and including people into our lives.  I’ve thought a lot about this topic over the years because although I feel like I am a good friend, I’m not necessarily the one putting myself out there to seek out new friendships.  [...]

For my birthday this year she [...]

Then

I heard a new song on the radio today.  I skip between the local alternative music station and the country ones – this was on a country station and I thought I recognized the voice.  When I got home I triumphantly found it on iTunes as Brad Paisley’s new single “Then.”
You know, it’s interesting to [...]

Download Day – I Need a Nap

Does the feeling ever go away?  I look at other mothers – you mothers out there with multiple kids, especially – and I think, “How do they do it without always needing a nap?”  Or wait…maybe you do need one but you can’t take one so you just keep moving forward.  Is that it?
Well, I’m [...]
