To most people, I come off as an extremely happy person! I love having fun! I love being with people! And I try to just love LIFE! When I talk to other people who aren’t as “happy” as I am – I tend to look at my husband and say, “Um…she was NOT nice!” and […] Read more…
My prayers are ALWAYS answered. Now – don’t get me wrong, sometimes they are answered not exactly how I would like them to be, but today I want to talk about the other times they are answered. The times when they are answered immediately and with a big slap in my face. Not literally – […] Read more…
Happy Easter to all of you!! I am so grateful for this wonderful Sunday that I have been able to spend with my family, celebrating and remembering the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that most of you are with your families and won’t have much time to read this today, but I […] Read more…
I normally have a lot to say and words just come to my mind as I type, but today I am honestly kind of struggling, you guys! This week has been a whirlwind for my family. My birthday was on Monday and I was SO excited to spend the whole day with with Tyson and […] Read more…
I absolutely LOVE General Conference! It is exactly what I need every six months to give me that little boost in life! The boost to feel good, do good and be better than I was before! If you do not know what General Conference is, I invite to you click here to see more about […] Read more…
This past weekend I was able to go to Utah to meet the newest member of our family, sweet baby Eli. There is no place I would rather be, than be with my family. Having everyone together brings such a peaceful feeling. There really is a sweet spirit that is brought into a home when […] Read more…
Just a little Sunday Thought today – “Try a little harder, to be a little better.” Think about it this week and apply it to your lives. Maybe you can try a little harder to have more patience. OR maybe you can try a little harder at telling your children you love them. OR maybe […] Read more…
Often times we come to moments in our lives that change is required. Sometimes we move to a different home, we find a new job, we lose someone we love, we gain someone else to love, our family circumstances change and the list goes on and on. I have so many examples in my life of […] Read more…
I would like to start this post by telling you a story I recently heard about a man. We will just call him Sam. Sam was on a bus one day going home from work. During rush hour, the bus was full and had very few seats available when another man and his two kids […] Read more…
My husband and I have been doing a lot of research lately on life insurance. We know it is something important to have, especially now that we have a baby. If anything were to happen to either of us, we want to make sure that our sweet baby is taken care of. A woman came […] Read more…
Life can be a bit discouraging! It is hard. It is rough. We ALL have bad days that sometimes turn into bad weeks, bad months and even bad years. This week I ran into several different people, all going through completely different trials, but all struggling with one thing exactly the same – their self […] Read more…
Sometimes I love to sit and watch Laila. I love to see what she does when I am not playing with her and to try and figure out how her little mind works. The other day I caught myself examining her as she walked over to her baby doll, picked it up, gave her a […] Read more…
New Years is a time of reflection for me. I have been looking back at my life and have tried to reflect on the year 2013 and everything that happened in it. It has been a time of happiness, sadness, trials, love, compassion and service, but if I had to describe 2013 in one word, […] Read more…
I love Christmas Sunday! It was so fun to see everyone in their pretty Christmas dresses and hearing the Christmas program at church. I sang in the ward choir for the first time ever… can you believe it?! I officially feel like an adult. I always thought “moms” sang in the choir and I guess […] Read more…
I have been thinking a lot about Christmas and what a fun time of year it has been! I can’t believe it is only a week away now. It is crazy to think that Laila’s first Christmas is going to come and go so quickly. This year she is still too little to understand what […] Read more…
On December 14, 2012 I was on bed rest. I was 8 months pregnant and just weeks away of giving birth to my first baby. While on bed rest I tried to keep myself busy. I liked to write, scrapbook, make crafts, take warm baths and read all about birth and becoming a mom for […] Read more…
Yesterday I saw this picture of when I was pregnant. Don’t judge me.. I was HUGE! 
As I looked at it, I tried to remember what our lives were like a year ago. What I imagined motherhood was going to be like. What Laila was going to look like. What being a mom would […] Read more…
