Rejoicing in the Gift of Family this Thanksgiving Season!- and Always
I remember coming out of my daughter’s 6th grade graduation when we lived in the small town of Mapleton, Utah.

I looked across the vast lawn to find it covered with family groups. It was a beautiful scene I will never forget. I saw Continue Reading

(Written Monday morning) It was very late last night when one of my little ones woke up crying just as my husband and I were ready to go to sleep. Not just crying, but beside herself- must have had a bad dream. Not very usual around here, thank goodness. It took quite a while, but eventually exhausted Daddy and I got her back to sleep. I was so tired I crashed out beside her (also unusual - we've Continue Reading
