The kids and I were driving home from the Children’s Museum today and we saw this word on a sign . . . It says “Guachipelin.” Can you pronounce it? Give it a try! I’ll explain it in tomorrow’s post. See you later! Read more →

#221 – Favorite Calzone Recipe
My kiddos LOVE pizza! Me, not so much. I can get bored easily if we had “pizza night” each week. So to break up the monotony, we have come up with some other options to the usual homemade Pizza Night: • Make your own individual pizzas • Make Crispy “Cracker Crust” pizza • Make Pizza Sandwiches • Make Calzones… Read more →
#220 – Vulnerable
I am feeling particularly beautiful today. Maybe it’s the way my hair’s natural curl flowed on top of my head, creating an artistic frame for my face as I dutch braided the rest of my hair, away from my face, into a pony tail that had some curl left in the ends of my hair. Maybe it is the… Read more →
#219 – Performing in the Choir
3 of my kiddos performed in a choir recently. (Sadly you can’t see El Gringo playing the piano . . . but he was! Look to the far left, you can see the piano.) To the front right of this picture is GingerSnap, and her golden, sun colored hair, watching her 3 siblings be super brave. … Read more →
#218 – Moving Chairs
We recently had Stake Conference. (a meeting where at least 5 church congregations come together as one to hear speakers from our local church community) But first the building to be used in Flores needed to be cleaned and then filled with chairs. 200 extra to be exact! Paul took advantage of having 3 older… Read more →

#215 – Amazing Sugar Cookies with Edible Egg-White Royal Icing
Do you love sugar cookies? I do now but I didn’t always like them. I thought they were far too difficult to make and not worth the effort . . . until now! I have been given an incredible sugar cookie recipe and found a fantastic, edible egg-white royal icing recipe to go along with them (in case you don’t… Read more →
#214 – Happy Birthday to My Sister, Ashley
This is a photo of my adorable sister Ashley when she was probably 3 or 4 years old. She had the curliest, blondest hair with the cutest button nose and chubby cheeks. She passed away almost 23 years ago when she was 13. She was far prettier than I ever was and I always knew she would probably be… Read more →
#213 – The Power of Music
Last Sunday I had the awesome opportunity to briefly speak to 30 people with the help of my friend Ashley who translated for me. She did a phenomenal job and I am deeply grateful to her for her sacrifice and support. But one thing struck me . . . there was a noticeable change in the congregation when one word… Read more →
