I had so much fun last Friday!     GingerSnap and I went on a “Mom and Me.” This is what I am now going to call alone time with Mom, where just one kid gets to come with me on my weekly errands. This week I needed to go to PriceSmart (our country’s Sam’s/Costco) but I felt I should… Read more →

One day, while sitting in Relief Society, in my all Spanish-speaking ward, I was reading a talk by President Monson and felt very moved and inspired.  One quote after another jumped off of the page at me.  I quickly started to copy and paste them in an email because I wanted to reread them and ponder them some more.   What… Read more →

I read this post yesterday and I felt so touched by her writing that I felt I needed to share it too.     Meg Johnson – “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”    I adore the way that Meg writes.  I feel like at times in my life I can write this way too.  But the last few months… Read more →

This is actually post number #208! I actually decided a few weeks ago, after reading that a favorite blogger of mine had hit 1000 posts, that I should really start counting ALL of my past posts. . . especially if I am going to keep on blogging.  I could feel the start of another goal coming on and after realizing… Read more →

I’m so grateful for the many changes that we have made together as a family. I am SO THANKFUL that the Lord compelled us to obey the admonition to hold FHE 4 years ago. It first came from a talk by Sister Linda Reeves who expressed deeply and profoundly that NOTHING is more important to do in a week than… Read more →

Every Wednesday, for the past 3 years, I have been attending the temple. I have felt an urge to be there, almost as if I had a personal calling from the Lord that I needed to go each and every Wednesday morning and serve in the temple. I have completed hundreds of ordinances and that thought alone brings me so… Read more →

I have bitten my nails for as long as I can remember. It has always been a satisfying way to relieve stress, panic, anxiety, frustration, anger and even overwhelming feelings of happiness. There was nothing more satisfying then cutting a nail perfectly with my teeth and then playing with it in my mouth. Now, saying these things makes me sick… Read more →

I woke this morning to another nightmare. I had one yesterday too. The irony is that these nightmares, although terrifying and petrifying, also have a sense of beauty and love woven into them. Yesterday’s nightmare tried to create fear in losing all we have just worked so hard to acquire financially. This morning’s nightmare forced me to watch the potential… Read more →

It’s time to go home. A week away from the cell phone, driving/traffic, emails, homeschool, daily routine (chores, cooking, laundry), and just the daily grind has been delightful. Delightful I say! And I owe it all to this man right here because he made it possible (with the assistance of his wonderful parents). Thank you! I needed this vacation and… Read more →
