If you haven’t been to The Dodo restaurant and you live near Salt Lake City, I’m telling you, it’s a must. It’s nostalgic for me too, because I used to go there in high school. They have lots of good things on the menu, but for me, the sandwiches are the best. Now, sure, the…
Since my niece is trying to help me get this blog printed for a family record (slowly but surely!) I’m trying to get back to my “little things” posts. Plus, also I love to look back on a month. I figured I may as well start where I am for now…with December all wrapped up….
Right along with Dave and Abby, Bo Jangles had a birthday too. (Clear back in November, but hey, these pictures cracked me up so they deserve to be on the blog). We love this furry girl of ours. She went ahead and turned seven years old. How is it possible we’ve had her that long??…

I made this on repeat around Thanksgiving-time and I think it’s festive enough that it’s worthy of a Christmas appetizer as well. Plus it is SO EASY! Just uses these few ingredients that are so easy to have on hand. I have no idea where this recipe came from…I just kind of remembered making it…
I’ve been pondering how life is filled up with rollercoasters lately. One minute you’ll be on the top of the world feeling like you are really getting somewhere. And then suddenly there is a sucker punch and you feel like the world just might swallow you or those you love right up. You find yourself…
We got our kids home for Thanksgiving in phases. We always love to fill up the house again, especially so quickly after we had to let our missionary girl Claire go. Oh we sure thought about that girl in her new Australian home, and prayed for and missed her so much! I must say for…
I am just coming up for air after some pretty hefty hosting and Turkey Trotting and velvety family togetherness. I told Dave I think I may have bit off more than I could chew this year. He laughed and told me that seems to be a theme of mine these days. He’s not wrong. So…
