I’m going to get a little personal here. When I was young (Jr. High) I was going through a hard time. Growing up in a religious family, I learned to turn to the scriptures for answers. Sometimes I would read from where I was and sometimes I would open them to a random page and…

Yes, that’s right – 4 weeks without carbonation. For those of you who know me well, you know what that means: No Mountain Dew! I cut it cold turkey. There were headaches, and I still crave it sometimes. I don’t want the boys to drink it when they grow up, so I knew I had…

Like each of you, with each passing month/holiday our family is creating more memories. We are having a great time decorating for Thanksgiving. Growing up, my sweet grandma would ask each of us to state one thing we were thankful for before we ate Thanksgiving dinner. I wasn’t always prepared for it and usually came…

If you have been a follower of my blog for a while, you know that I take Halloween pictures BEFORE Halloween! The kids are excited to be in their costumes and aren’t (in their nicest voices) asking you to stop taking pictures so they can get to the task at hand and begin Trick or…

I learned long ago in my scrapbooking career that good pictures are important.

In last year’s Pottery Barn catalog, there was this amazing 4’ x 4’ grapevine spider web. Unfortunately, it was out of my price range. As I was looking at my parent’s corkscrew willow tree one day, I realized that we could create a similar spider web out of the amazingly twisted willow branches. The boys…

Our family, like every family, has birthday’s that are milestones. My youngest son has one coming up this month. I sort of feel that he gets gypped a little when it comes to birthday parties (my fault) and I want to make this birthday extra special for him. He is getting baptized on his birthday,…

That nagging feeling… you know the one. It makes you panic when you don’t have reason to panic. It’s the little voice that’s telling you that the path you are on is not right. The past few days I have had that feeling. I have been stressing that I won’t be able to get everything…

but I really want to blog. I just finished typing and scheduling the my blog posts for tomorrow’s Good Things Utah segment and made a startling realization – of the 9 blog posts this month, 7 have been for my Good Things Utah segments. WOW! After turning the reigns of the My Mind’s Eye blog…
