Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

I Have THE BEST sister!

I really do! Just look at her!


Not only is she BEAUTIFUL on theoutside- she is absolutely STUNNING on the inside!

She is always doing something for others. Whenever I stop by her home, she is either out doing something great for neighbors and friends or she is busy baking something delicious for friends and family.


I am so blessed to have such a sister!

Remembering the Christmas Rush...

I made A LOT of gifts this Christmas! But it was so fun!!!

Here is a small sample:



The recipes on this apron are some of the ones my Grandma Opal made way back when she ran a small cafe in Iowa!


Here is one section with a pic my my grandma in her cafe! I LOVE how the glorified rice recipe still has the spatters from my grandma's cooking!


I also made some with Luke's parents recipes (not sure how to turn it for the post, though.) Luke certainly LOVES the stuffed zucchini!


I also made a hooded bath towel for Parker, and crocheted blankets for Ash and Claire (with matching blankets for their dolls, of course!)

But then I got a last minute idea and just had to make capes!



These have minky on the inside... I hope they like them!
