So some people will surely scoff at this winter packing list. It is obviously not for a trip to say… Alaska. Or Minnesota. We are not going skiing here, ok? This packing list might be more appropriate for somewhere like St. George. Or Memphis. Does it snow in Memphis? I don’t know. Somewhere that it…
Mom & Stevie Take the Metrolink
Stevie and I needed this day. BAD. The last two weeks with Stevie have basically been torture. And that’s putting it lightly. He is struggling with old and new behaviors. About a million tantrums a day. Lots of things that don’t make sense. Kind of out of control. Everything feels like it’s falling apart. Me,…
5 More Friday Confessions: Airport Edition
Bringing a giant scarf with me is one of the smartest traveling decisions I’ve ever made. It was easy to wear without using up my valuable arm space, it worked as a blanket when I was freezing on the plane, and when I got sleepy, I rolled it up and used it as a neck pillow. I…
Austin, Texas Blogging Trip
Howdy-ho and yeehaw e’rybody! I just got home from Texas a couple days ago, where they don’t actually say howdy-ho OR yeehaw. But they do say y’all. And it is adorable. I came home to a very frustrated little 4 year old, who immediately burned me out, but I’m just gonna skip over all that…
5 More Friday Confessions
At any given moment, regardless of what I’m doing, I can almost guarantee I’d rather be watching Shark Tank in bed with my husband. Anyone else ever cried over the Honda “Helpful Honda-days” holiday radio commercials? Yeah, me either… Ok, one time. I just spoke the 6 words a husband never wants to hear “I just…
Heart-iversary No. 4
Oh, hello January 7th. It’s you again. Every year you show up and gently remind me of something. You like to remind me of something that I nearly lost. You like to remind me to look around at what I have. Usually I wake up on January 7th feeling a bit melancholy. But this year…
Stevie Fan Club {New Year, Same Old Stuff. And a Couple New Things Too}
Man oh man, did we have a nice break for the holidays! It felt long. And it felt relaxing. And it was kind of cold, which was so refreshing. We all slept cozy in our bed until 8am the last 3 days and that was everything. I didn’t cross many activities off my to-do list, but when…
Taking Stock: New Year's Edition

Wanting: to leave Christmas decorations up forever. Looking: for balance. Playing: with Hot Wheels tracks. Deciding: what to pack for a weekend trip. Wishing: someone would pick my outfits…

Just going out to dinner. Leaning towards staying warm! Which look is is your favorite?
Down Time in Southern Utah
Weekend between Christmas and the New Year. Paul has time off. Hmmm… I should catch-up on editing photos. I should get the house in some type of order. I should, I should, I should do so many other things. But spending some days being lazy sounds nice. Spending some time in a quiet town sounds so good. Seeing…
