Unplug Your Life

"If we do not unplug we may miss the small still voice." - M. Russell Ballard Much to my husband's dismay, I am not one to have my phone with me constantly "just in case" I receive a text, call, or alert for a new post on Facebook or Instagram. If it's important, they'll leave… Continue reading Unplug Your Life

Monday Thankfulness

Today I am thankful. Thankful for my lovely family and that we are healthy.

Outside Baby

Does it make us bad parents for letting him crawl around playing in the dirt and rocks without shoes? Never mind, don't answer that. It would help all his pants if he would walk by himself though. He just LOVES being outside!

Remotes, Fans, and Baby Doll Head

Little Q is a mess. A hilarious, goofy, little mess! If I could capture pictures or videos of everything he does, we'd be rich. Any time he notices our phones are out, our tot wants to see himself in it then hold it with both hands so it's unusable. Last night I opened a game… Continue reading Remotes, Fans, and Baby Doll Head

Christmas Spirit

I have been struggling coming up with something to write about lately and while trying to concentrate on that topic my brain kicks over to what needs to get done before Christmas. Gifts mailed out, check. Christmas cards sent, check. Buy stocking stuffers, somewhat checked. Figure out what we're doing for little Q's birthday a few… Continue reading Christmas Spirit

Holiday Traditions

Santa, trees, and elves! Lights, music, and food! Establishing traditions while little Q's a baby seems like the most appropriate time, even though I'm certain we'll add to over the years. Q saw Santa for the first time this weekend and we are planning to take their picture together soon. To begin with, we had to point Santa… Continue reading Holiday Traditions
