Fun in the Oven. Fun tales from my kitchen, garden, and home. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. So we did it. We got a new puppy! Everyone, I introduce to you Archer. He's 9 pounds of pure love and energy. If you follow me on Facebook. And as some of you may know, our beloved Oscar P passed away a few weeks ago. He was 11 years old and meant the world to us. It was one of the most difficult times I have ever been through, and I know B can agree. We felt a void. and as if we still had a lot more love to give.

Hogar del Niño Orphanage. Monday, March 30, 2015. Easter Traditions for Preschoolers (and their grumpy mamas). Easter Week is here, and it's a good thing- because I have been super grumpy lately! I am looking forward to this week of fun, spring, peace, and Jesus. For a few years now I've wanted to do some simple, spiritual Easter traditions and lessons with Noah, but I just haven't found/made the time. (Plus I was pregnant and super sick last year, so I get a pass, right? Here in Twin Falls and a discuss...

Hogar del Niño Orphanage. Friday, November 14, 2014. Living Without My Eating Disorder, Narrative Therapy Part 3. And now it's time for the happy ending. Well, the happy ending that I imagine for myself. As the final assignment for my "narrative therapy," my counselor asked me to picture a future without my eating disorder in it. Who did I hope to be? How would freedom feel? What would my life of freedom look like? This is what I came up with. It is amazing to me that my life today is much closer to this.

Hogar del Niño Orphanage. Friday, February 27, 2015. My Sally Grace is seven months old. Each month brings new milestones and changes in her temperament. It is truly mind-blowing how quickly this baby girl is growing and changing! She loves being on her belly. From the time she was about five months old, she would flip onto her stomach immediately any time we set her down on the ground. She also flipped onto her stomach in her crib at night, and she is now a committed stomach sleeper. I am truly astonish...

Hogar del Niño Orphanage. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Wedding Planning and other Young-Adult Memories of my Dad. Two more posts to go in my series about my dad for his 60. Thank you for the comments—I didn’t know if anyone would even be interested in reading these memories of my dad (and it’s fine if no one is), but it’s really cool to know that others are inspired by him and by his example of fatherhood.

Hogar del Niño Orphanage. At the end of 2012, I was thinking about my life and feeling so grateful for my incredible.

You lay there for a moment, groggy and disoriented, sucking your pacifier and listening to the happy noises of your brother playing in his room next door. Then you noticed the balloons.You lifted your tiny finger and pointed, not sure what you were seeing. Like the angel that you are, you slept right through our sneaking.
