Not a legend but the name was fun. This is just the random stuff I've thought about and want to remember. If you find it useful, hurray! If not, you'll know me better anyway.

Abide with me…
This is one of my favorite hymns — maybe my fifth or sixth favorite even. Sorry I haven’t been posting the six times a week I committed to! I’m actually well over that if you include my other blogs, but most of those are private. I’ve just been super busy with homeschooling and working and […]
MoreFools Mock…
So the kids and I are working our way through Proverbs. For whatever reason, I’ve just had a hard time getting into the spirit of it. Perhaps it’s that the full chapters tend to touch so briefly on so many different topics, none of them really sink in. But we’ve been wanting to read straight […]
MoreThat awkward moment when…
… you find yourself putting someone down in an effort to be more accepted yourself. I caught myself doing this at a party this week. I didn’t mention her name, but did vilify her intentions. This was especially awkward since I’ve become super self-critical of my own failures where I was knocking her. My kids […]
More2013 Resolutions
My brain today felt a bit like an empty train: speeding along without actually getting anyone anywhere. For all of the lovely ideas I’ve got, sometimes the rest of me isn’t really on board. It seems sometimes that the Lord gave me a quick, creative mind, but the world stole my heart. So I’m asking […]
More“Hug a Woman Who Wears Pants To Church” Day
Mary hates dresses. She’s explained it succinctly: “They just feel so… awkward… like…. well, like I’m not wearing any pants.” And you already know I’m a feminist. Yet my heart about broke when I heard of “Women Wear Pants to Church Day” because of all the animosity I knew it would create. I love my […]
MoreKeeping it simple
Ironically, the moment I typed that title, my brain started running in overtime trying to figure out how to say something awesome and useful and short and concise and life-altering here. But really I ought to heed my own title and truly keep it simple. So I’m writing about something my dear friend said: “The […]
MoreFear, Bees, and Faith
My son is a terribly logical kid, but no amount of reasoning seems to dissuade his fear of bees. He’ll stay inside all day just to avoid them. And sure, he goes out at night when the bees have all turned in, but usually his potential friends are gone by then, too. I happened to […]
MoreBe Kind Quote – Printable Poster
Jeffrey R. Holland always has a way with words. This was my favorite quote from LDS General Conference this April, so I thought I’d make a printable: Be kind and be grateful God is kind; it is a happy way to live. It’s scalable and editable (pdf with AI editing capabilities intact) so if you’d […]
