I am not sure how it took me three years to figure out that the best Diet Coke is right here in the town I live in. Mom and I discovered Frugal’s while she was here last month and I am hooked. It even beats McDonalds DC. Oh, and they have hamburgers that are just [...]

Piles. Piles of chocolate candy. Starburst piles. Piles of suckers. And the pile of packages that contain more than one piece of candy. In another hour they will all be rearranged into different categories.

I took the three older kids to the baptism of one of Luca’s friends today. I expected to be spiritually edified, but I didn’t realize I would be thoroughly entertained as well. After Rebekah was baptized her family, the primary president, the stake president, and my kids and I went to another room to wait [...]
