What’s a “charger”?
This is sort of how my end of the conversation went the other day as me and the many Martha Stewarts of my congregation were setting up for the women’s Relief Society dinner.
The previous Sunday:
They ask me to bring 8 place settings and a centerpiece, all focused on a Christmas theme. It would [...]
My big sister was my best friend from the day I was born. Legend has it that when she came to visit me in the hospital and the nurse wheeled me back to the nursery, 2-year-old Heather yelled after the woman, “Hey LADY! You take good care of my baby!” For the first months of [...]
One of the first times I read Chris’s blog, she was talking about a horror story that unfolded when her family decided to use their hot air popper for the first time. I laughed so hard at the way she told the story, but especially at the observations she made about the descriptions on the [...]
To come up with a better Babytalk Magazine cover photo than this:
I submitted it to the Evening Magazine baby photo contest, which was obviously run by people who are prejudiced against eyes. How could you possibly pass on that face?
Babytalk is currently running their cover baby contest and I would be so excited if one [...]
Magoo has learned his first sign.
You say ‘potato.’ He says ‘blagooblablah.’
You wave ‘hi’, he clicks his heels and salutes ‘heil.’
Potato, blagooglablah, hi, heil
Let’s call the whole thing off.

We are not necessarily talking about organization today, although a good organizational strategy will definitely help with this. Today we’re talking about the little things that make working in your kitchen easier, things like sending your kids over to the neighbors’ or buying that new disposable kitchen wrap that comes in the exact shape of [...]
Who made the comment as “Dr John Gottman” on the marriage post? You must show yourself. This is driving me slightly mental. I’m pretty sure that it was made by one of my hilarious, wisecracking readers, possibly my brother.
On the other hand, I don’t know Dr Gottman but I know people [...]
Since today is Sunday, a day of rest, I thought I’d dazzle you all with my amazing meme-o-licious, fill-in-the-blank writing skills.
I’ve been tagged by Sarah from Mothering on the Edge, who apparently thinks I’m worthy of inviting over to play. I hope my kids never stop saying, “going over to play” and never start saying [...]
Subtitle – I’m sorry but we are too immature to attend your lecture series.
Several friends and advisors have recommended the book Why Marriages Succeed or Fail by John Gottman. We’ve even been invited to attend the lecture he’s giving on his theories of marriage in Seattle later this month. He’s supposed to be a great [...]
For show and tell today, we’re doing eyes. Mine is green. Yes, I only have one. I photoshop the other one in every time I post, lest you suspect I am from another planet. You don’t suspect, do you? Phew!
Much drama swirling in the air this week. Do you feel it? [...]
