Something new
Categories: Family, Food, Learn Something, With the Kiddos
I love introducing our kids to new things. There is so much in the world for them to still explore and that I get to be part of some of that is such an adventure for me too. I get to see it all new again through their eyes. Keep reading

In the background
Categories: Life
I pay a lot more attention to what’s in the background of my photos now. In fact, not wanting to step on toys and not wanting cluttered backgrounds in the photos I take (because I take a lot every day) are the main reasons why I try to keep a tidy house. Keep reading
Iddo
Categories: Family, Happy Things
I love our little Iddo. It’s hard to believe how big she is already. … She’s amazing and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel the overwhelming responsibility it is to be her mom and the overwhelming love that goes along with that. Keep reading

Categories: Family, Gospel, Happy Things, Relationships

There are days I like to think of myself as a super hero, and every super hero has an origin story, so what’s mine? Keep reading
I love to see the temple
Categories: Family, Gospel, With the Kiddos
In August the Tucson temple was dedicated and I was actually worried about how having a temple that close was going to complicate things. … We really aren’t saving any on gas this way. It takes us 4 hours to get everyone there and back, and that’s just with us serving for an hour each in the temple. But we all get to go still. Our kids still look forward with excitement for temple day every month. And for me, that makes it totally worth it. Keep reading
