my thoughts on motherhood, kids, books and stuff
I have been wanting to get a bouncy seat since Kai was born in November. I would have bought the Boppy seat on several occasions when I was looking for a seat at Target, but they only ever had the pink one available. My sister has the Boppy seat and has really liked it. All [...]

With two kids in preschool and one in first grade we had 68 valentines to make this year for the kids classes. I found some simple ideas on Familyfun and we spent the last two nights cutting, gluing, writing, and chatting. It was fun! I didn’t get a picture of Anna’s, but I think they [...]

So I have mentioned before that we like to do puzzles in our family. I might have had a slight influence on my kids in that department. So I decided to pull out all the kids puzzles I could find to see what we had. This is what I came up with. Sorry about the [...]

Conversation I overheard of three men wearing dark suits, polished shoes, and with scriptures in hand. They could have been bishops. The were all 40ish: guy #1: "blah blah blah….Superbowl." guy #2: "Ya, we watched it on the 52" flat screen I got for Christmas. Only the third time I have watched anything on it." [...]

I was browsing one of my two favorite baby and kids gear sites, Modern Tots, (the other is Albeebaby) and I think I need this. The kids would love playing in the "waterfall" and it would make rinsing their hair fun for them. I also might "need" these chunky triangular crayons that won’t roll [...]

Is it sad or does it just say a lot about our interests that Brett and I sit in the same room most nights, about five feet apart, on our own computers and INSTANT MESSAGE! We face opposite walls so we can’t see each other without turning around. Brett usually has his headphones on so [...]

Brett introduced me to Pandora yesterday and I am totally hooked! You type in an artist you like or a genre of music and it starts a "radio station" for you with that artist and other similar artists. You can skip ahead if you don’t like the song that is playing, but I haven’t run [...]

Heather, on Dooce, blogged about this video and the kids and I cannot stop replaying it and laughing. One of the names we considered before we decided on Kai was Charlie and now I think we have to have another boy just so we can have a Charlie in the family. Or maybe we should [...]

I bought this book for my kids with a gift certificate Brett gave me a few weeks ago. I pulled it out a few days ago when Luca was suffering a slow death of boredom and she loves it! It is full of simple drawings with simple instructions on each one…like a picture of a [...]

I have wanted to blog about my feelings about the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley but I have been at a loss for words. I admired and respected and loved this man so much it hasn’t really sunk in that we won’t be hearing his words any longer. I loved to hear him speak. [...]
