In March I got the best haircut ever from a woman named Karina who my sister-in-law introduced me to in Utah. Although I’d never met her before, I instantly trusted her and she picked a new hair color for me and gave me bangs. And I loved them. And I was highly [...]
On the way home from church yesterday we had this conversation.
Me: What did you learn about in nursery Magoo?
Magoo: Bubbles.
Me: Fun. Did you have a lesson?
Magoo: Bubbles.
Me: You did a picture of Moses. Did you learn about him?
Magoo: Yes.
Me: Awesome. Was he a prophet?
Magoo [looking [...]
In my church none of the teachers or clergy get paid for their time or expertise. To be honest, none of us really have expertise and very few of us have any time to speak of. We just all pitch in and do our share. The bishop (also unpaid) prays for inspiration [...]
Happy Easter world! It was a fabulous day. 3 of the 4 members of my family were down for the count with chest colds. 2 of the 3 members of my family who were down for the count with chest colds were still cheery. We saw at least 10 minutes of [...]

I love him and I wasn’t sad, even for [...]

Laylee has also decreed that all three wisemen were actually [...]
I came back from a late church meeting last night a couple of hours after Laylee and Magoo should have been sleeping in their beds. I closed the door behind me and turned around to see Laylee at the top of the stairs grinning down at me in the last pair of footy jammas [...]
I know that most of the readers of this site are not LDS but several of you are so I feel like I can express my feelings of love and sympathy to the family of President James E. Faust this morning. He’s a longtime member of the First Presidency of my church and he [...]
Can I tell you how much I love getting email with the subject line “Re: Intolerance Intervention”? Very much do I love it and I’ve been getting a lot of it lately.
I’m really excited to be speaking on a panel at BlogHer next week and I’d like your help preparing. The topic is [...]
