A quick Guide to hiking “the Path of the Gods”
While in the Almalfi Coast we got to hike. My favorite. Here’s a quick guide to hiking the Path of the Gods.
how to make family travel work
As anyone who has been here for a while knows, I’m a huge sucker for family travel. So I’m here today to talk about how to make family travel work. Let’s start out with a public service announcement to check the expiration dates of your passports often. Because when we booked our flights for spring…
a regular weekend around here, and a LAUNCH TOMORROW!
We filled this last weekend up with all sorts of things. Since the weather dipped from 110 to a mere 95 (or something like that), we decided to take these guys on a bike/scooter ride to breakfast. It was one of those days where the sky is blue and the world is good, and you…
inspiration and love from the heart of Texas
Last weekend Dave and I got to go with Grace back to her mission stomping grounds: Austin, Texas. Gosh, there is something about Texas, and we got to experience it with our Texas girl. We packed our three days chock full of everything we possibly could. We visited all her areas (four of them), visited…
December little things
Boy howdy, a lot happened in December. Let’s get to it. Our sweetest ever friends knew Dave didn’t want a lot of hoopla for his bday (back at the end of November), so they figured we could just put together a home-made dinner to celebrate him. His face shows kind of how he felt about…

And where you have the opportunity to make special covenants with God. Oh, and they’re pretty special places where you can get married too:) Anyway, one of the oldest temples…
moments and the depths of the Christmas story
(This post is expanded from my Instagram post a couple days ago.) I am reading such a good book (called Unscripted and I promise to come back to talk about it soon because there’s a lot I like about it). But for today I’ll just say there’s lots of talk in that book about “moments”…
a visit to the temple in Florida with our girl
Last weekend Dave and I had the opportunity for a little trip to Elle and Carson’s neck of the woods for a pretty special experience: Elle’s first time through the temple. It was pretty happy I have to say. Elle had prepared herself quite beautifully. Among other things she had requested this book (for her…
