Boy howdy I’m behind on documenting all that’s going on around here. It was 80s day at school. I was mad we didn’t have any Forenza sweaters or big belts… Claire went to a cheerleading camp with her cousin and a friend.She thought she died and went to Heaven with those HUNDREDS of other girls…
They say that after you visit the Taj Mahal you can call it “The Taj” cause you’re on such first-name basis with that thing 🙂 We went there. It was everything I expected: hot, a little bit unkempt, and one of the most beautiful and masterfully planned out things I have ever seen. But before…

The shelves in my refrigerator are empty, there are fingerprints everywhere, and I know I have appointments and check-ups galore that I need to check my calendar to make sure…
We had a virtual Family Home Evening with my whole family last month. We all linked into the computer at the same time and it was awesome…and chaotic too. Each time someone talked it cut to their family so there are a bunch of changes of scenery. It was so fun to see one brother…
I decided long ago that co-hosting a Power of Moms Motherhood Retreat would be the best way to honor this stewardship I got back here. The American Mothers Inc. has pretty much the same goals as Power of Moms does and together the two organizations can be a powerful force to be reckoned with. So…
