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!

Putting Away Christmas...

I love putting up my Christ-mas tree and nativities every year!


I enjoy them so much- but Char's birthday is so close to Christmas that, in years past, I felt like I had to hurry and put Christmas away so she could have a special day all about herself!

This year, Char was back at her own home for her birthday; so I left Christmas up and enjoyed it longer...

And then February came, and although I could have put it all away, I found things I wanted to do even more with my time- like take a short road trip with Luke, enjoy doing projects around the house, and just life!

So putting away Christmas took a little longer this year. And that was okay. Life is so good!
