As we were driving home from Denver this evening, after a fun day where Jason and Em went climbing at REI and Ryan and I watched monster trucks in all their volume do their thing at the Pepsi Center, we were flipping through the channels looking for some good tunes to pass the time. Em […]
Folks, January 8th was Elvis Presley’s birthday, too. I had a few of his 45’s when I was a kid, watching Nipper the RCA dog spin around and around on my Barbie record player while I held my microphone, and told our Gordon Setter, Sham, that he wasn’t nothin’ but a hound dog. Raise your […]
(Welcome to my first post on my new site, as well as my last post of 2013! Lots of construction still under way…thanks for your patience!) (Because no family photo could actually have everyone looking in the same direction, and smiling, at once…) In order to move forward in head and heart as the New […]
Since the beginning of June, I’ve been “Reading the Bible in 90 Days.” I’m currently in the book of Ezekiel, so, clearly I’ve missed the 90 day mark, ahem. This is supposed to be a post about thankfulness, a practice we do in our home on a regular basis, like “Top 10 of the Day” or […]
Our third child didn’t get a baby shower. Not because historically it’s improper in the book of manners, but because I just didn’t think my heart could handle it. The last time I had been pregnant with a boy, my friends gathered around me as we ate chocolate and vegetables and artichoke dip, all the […]

There’s this major crash which happens after […]
Jason and I celebrated 20 years of marriage in June, but since January, we’ve been dreaming and planning out the details for a trip to Spain, just the two of us. We have spent hours and hours looking through books, reading reviews, mapping out our adventures, talking about it on date nights, road trips, in […]
I’m a thrifter. I love thinking outside the box and have been recycling, or upcycling, or repurposing old clothes or sheets or parts of clothes for a very long time. Once I made Emily and myself skirts from a pair of Jason’s khaki’s he had cut off…and I’ve even stooped to make myself workout shirts […]
Happy 20th Anniversary, Sweetheart! 20 years. I wrote a “Husband List” before we even met and started dating. It was 6 pages long. No pressure, right?! I think it was the “thing” to do in Christendom way back when, now hidden in a journal somewhere in the basement. On it were things about integrity, […]
