Should I toss my cookies?

I’m not quite sure what to do with them.

I attended BYU film school in the late 90s and early 2000s and then worked for a couple of years supervising the Media Department of the local public library where all us film geeks came to get our fix. (It is an amazing library with a HUGE [...]

Goodbye Old Navy Hat

Hello, Daring Young Mom!

I got my stuff today and I’m lovin’ it. The shirt is thin (as the shop said it would be) so I think I will be layering.
The logo is a bit stiff. I chose this printing option because it is supposed to last longer and they say it will soften with [...]

Like, can I get these Cheerios to go?

Our church starts at 9:00am and in our congregation if you get there only 5 minutes early, you’re already late. You’re doomed to sit in the folding chairs at the back of the chapel with all the other parents of small children. The children then, unrestrained by a wooden pew with parents at both ends, [...]

Some Randomness and a Possible Deal on the Shirts

For herself, she brought, “The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Superstitions.” Okay, she wants to know that eating chicken gizzard makes you more beautiful, that [...]

My mom made me the blanket when I was an infant and I carried it everywhere. It was originally made with two layers of fuzzy flannel and had a large duck embroidered in one corner. From age [...]

My Puck-Loving Canadian Ancestors are Doing Triple-Dekes* in Their Graves

Well, I don’t know if that’s exactly what they’re doing, but there’s surely some major commotion down there.
I love hockey. This was something DY Dad discovered about me 2 months after we were married when I made him watch Olympic hockey with me while wearing my Calgary Flames Jersey and periodically crosschecking him with our [...]

More of the “Goods” and Show and Tell

Okay, because I can’t HELP MYSELF…….
They’re so cute, I’m practically vomitting. Check out the new stuff from my “other” site:

“Dare to jump in puddles. Dare to eat the green stuff. Dare to sing your own song.”

“Dare to love without limits. Dare to adore your job. Dare to be fabulous.”
And finally…………..
SHOW AND TELL
I really couldn’t [...]

My Mother is a Selfish Cripple

And yet, I love her still.
This afternoon my mom called and she had a sad tale to tell. One might even call it a gruesome tale. If you are squeamish, do not read on.
She keeps a basket at the bottom of the stairs where she puts things that need to go away on the second [...]

Hit the Deck, Lazy Jack and Cougar Power at the Breakfast Table

First, and randomly, Laylee is always telling me and DY Dad that we do a “GREAT JOB!” This morning was one of the weirdest ones yet. I had just finished pulling on her pull-ups when she stopped, got very serious, inspected them thoroughly and then looked up with a furrowed brow and deep look of [...]
