This week has been one of simple pleasures–no big adventures or family get togethers–just enjoying life in the moment. Today’s Friday Favorites reflects that. One of life’s simple pleasures for me is the occasional cookie from Swig. This one happens to be peanut butter with chocolate frosting, and it was divine. (You should be proud…
Two months ago I joined a group of bloggers in creating summer bucket lists. Summers just seem to fly by, and I never do all the things I want to, so a seasonal bucket list seemed like the perfect solution. I came up with 16 things that I wanted to accomplish before September 21, with…
I have long been fascinated by the clouds–in awe of Mother Nature in general, but especially clouds. So this Friday, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite cloud pictures. I went through my photos and chose only the most impressive. The only problem was I had selected more than 50. So I…
I am officially on vacation with the family at Bear Lake. I hope you will forgive me not writing a Tuesday post. I do have some photos you might enjoy! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And then it was time to say good-bye to Bear Lake for another year! ***Your turn***…

This week I had the pleasure of going on a girls trip with my sister Cindy and my best friend Margie. (This photo is actually from last year’s trip. I gave the girls a break from my constant picture-taking this year.) We rented a townhouse in beautiful Park City. It had all the comforts of…
I am writing this post from beautiful Park City, Utah, where I am on a girls trip with one of my sisters and my best friend. Those of you who know me well know that I am more or less addicted to my “to-do” list. In fact, I’ve written about it before—here. Even when I…
Can you believe we are one month into the summer already! That means it’s time to check in on our summer bucket lists. Here’s what I’ve accomplished so far: 1 – Go on a girls trip. Today starts our annual girls trip. This year we are missing two sisters; Connie and Heidi have to work….
