It has been really cold here lately. We’ve got the heat on and we’re wearing socks around the house. It sucks when we have to actually go outside and be somewhere, let alone get out of the cozy bed. I know it’s not the relentless cold of the North, however, so I’m thinking about my [...]

Wow, it’s really dusty here. Glad I just picked up some Pledge to take care of the mess that has accumulated in my absence. (No really, this stuff works great and smells really good, too.) I just took care of 71 spam comments. People find me whenever I post something to Friendfeed or Facebook and [...]

I’ve been meaning to give another update on homeschooling, now that we have gone for a whole month. But first, here is a fun photo game for you.
What is this?
What do you think this is?
Here’s another view.
C’mon, you got to know it by now. Here’s more of a clue.
Yep. Now you’re getting it. That’s the [...]

The John F. Kennedy Class of 1989 High School Reunion – August 8, 2009
Deciding to go to my 20th High School Reunion had little to do with how much I hated high school or how few people I actually know in my class. I only attended John F. Kennedy High School in La Palma, CA [...]

Josh and I have decided to homeschool our children. It’s funny how life can change on a dime, but I think this has been coming on since before we had children. When we had our first, I remember saying that I would want to homeschool her because I couldn’t imagine sending her out into a [...]

…unless you count the Lego Star Wars noise coming from the TV and random declarations coming from the 17-month-old.
I’ve got two kids here and two kids at camp. It feels very weird. I will be retrieving one of the campers tonight, but for the time being, it’s very quiet here now. No one is bullying [...]

Easter is not a big deal to Latter-Day Saints. We celebrate Easter every week, so the only difference this holiday has for us is a new set of church clothes and an egg hunt. Some don’t even do that… it just depends on the timing. One of my friends said that she didn’t have time [...]

The kids and I froze our tails off when we went down to the marina on Lake Houston near our house to participate in the annual Trash Bash. Our church ward planned it as a service project for the youth. Since Sarah is counted among this group now that she is in Young Women, I [...]

All of my writing endeavors for the new year have gone on hiatus. I haven’t kept up with my journal on Evernote… I think that lasted a week. I have not written anything personal, digital or otherwise, since my last blog post. I just got invited to use ldsjournal.com and I signed up because of [...]

When I woke up this morning the thermostat read 63 degrees F inside the house. I decided to bake the rest of the gingersnap cookie dough I had in the fridge to warm up. I always hate turning on the heat since we spend most of the year trying to cool down the house. It [...]
