  • Cultivating creativity

    It’s the day after Labor Day, and therefore, the unofficial beginning of my favorite season—autumn! I love the cool mornings and evenings, the beautiful fall leaves, and all things pumpkin! I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it. ~Lee Maynard While…

  • Friday favorites

    I hope your week has been as happy as mine. I have so much to share, it took real constraint to narrow the list down to a manageable size. It started Friday evening with girls dinner with these two lovely ladies. (I did not take photos at dinner, so I pulled these from my archives.)…

  • What’s that you say? Learning to listen to my gut.

    It’s been almost a month since I wrote about intuition. In that time, I have been working on strengthening mine. As you may recall, one of the suggested exercises was to put your question out there; then be quiet, listen, and trust your gut. I thought I’d start with something small like, “What is my…

    And here we are again–Friday Favorites! Yeah! My week started out with a bang with homemade zucchini brownies from Jenny. She really is the best bakery chef ever. I am so lucky to work with her (and not just for the goodies either)! Then Larry and I slipped out for a quick trip to Hawkes Landing….

  • Dream theme

    I’m going on a little tangent with this week’s blog. I’m curious to know if any of you have recurring themes to your dreams. I hope you will share in the comments. I seem to have three. (I may be about to share more of my craziness than you care to know, but here goes.)…

    Here we are at Friday again. One week ago today, we were leaving for Bear Lake, and now we’re home already. School is starting for the grandkids, and summer is nearly over. How did that happen? Where did the time go? Anyway, it has been a good week. I won’t go all the way back…

  • Bear Lake family fun

    This week I’m writing from Bear Lake North RV Park & Campground, where we hold our annual family vacation. That means you’re going to be treated to more family photos. On the road with these two beauties–Piper and Tessa. Jessi and Wells arrived in matching shirts. Great minds think alike! My darling Wren–evidently looking for help….

  • Friday favorites

    Today’s Friday Favorites are double the fun, starting with your photos from last week. Thank you for sharing. I loved them! The first one is from Ashley, spending time with the kiddos in the yard. Don’t you just love summer and children? These children (Wells, Tessa, and Piper) are some of the best, by the…

  • Mother knows best: lessons I’ve learned from my mother

    I come from a long line of smart, courageous, funny, loving women—none more so than my mother. So when I think about what I want to be when I “grow up,” I naturally look to her. She’s taught me many lessons through her example. Today, I share three of the most important. 1. Open your…

  • Friday favorites

    This week brought family visits, a couple of packages in the mail, and as always good food. I can’t wait to share, so here we go. The week got off to a good start with the arrival of my new running socks. Not only are Bombas like hugs for your feet, the colors are fun, and…
