The other day I was juggling a few different things when Claire needed some attention. Well, she didn’t “need” it. She didn’t ask for it. But you know when you just know? Sometimes I act quickly on those nudges. I drop what I’m doing and go give love. (And it’s amazing how that “important” thing…
I’m sure a lot of people out there follow sharonsaysso on instagram. She is pretty awesome, gives an unbiased view of what’s happening in the world (I took one of her “government for grown-ups” classes and it was so good!) Not only is she smart and incredibly talented about sifting through and explaining current events,…
On Saturday we had a Women’s Conference for our area and I was asked to be one of the speakers. I have a love/hate relationship with things like this. I love to push myself to think through things in more depth. I love learning and growing through that responsibility, but also, it’s uncomfortable. I also…
Ok, life has been coming at me fast for the last week or so. We have had lots of visitors (all of whom have had corona, or have had the vaccine, hallelujah!), and I have been relishing in togetherness. I have SO MUCH to write here, but for today I just wanted to come here…

First of all, just want to share this picture I came across the other day because I love it so. It is of little girls Elle (post edit…this is GRACE, not ELLE…yikes!) and Lucy waiting for the boat to come get them one summer years ago at Bear Lake. There are lots of things I…
It’s a big day today. And I’m not here to talk about one party or the other. I’m here to remind us all that we are neighbors and friends before we are political parties. And we have good hearts that will still go on after the results of what has been pulling us apart for…
Last night Claire sat perched on the kitchen counter as I whipped up some Friday night pizza, and asked me to tell her about my experience on September 11th when it actually happened all those years ago. It was sobering to sit and discuss all the emotion and deep sadness wrapped up in that day,…
