ILMES

On my left hand I wear the wedding band Brett gave me when we got married seven years ago next week. When I’m not changing diapers so much I’ll wear the engagement ring he gave me again as well. I love the simple symbol it is of our love and marriage and the promises that holds. I wanted something similar for our kids. It needed to fit my style which meant something simple and something that wouldn’t get in the way, so traditional jewelry was out. And I needed it to also acknowledge the two we lost and believe we will have in heaven. Keep reading

Exalted
Categories: Gospel
If I were to die right now it would really suck for my family. But I have faith in the grace of God. I’m doing my best to iron out my wrinkles and I’m striving to keep the covenants I’ve made with God. I’d be okay on the other side. Keep reading

Categories: Life
I’ve long kept a mental running list of the things that we’ve lost in our house. Something is always missing. Sometimes I even put a post-it up for each thing we’re missing to remind me to keep an eye out for them. Eventually everything turns up, often when we aren’t actively looking. Keep reading

Topical Autobiographies
I overheard a woman at the dentist talking about how she was going to write a “historical autobiography” and I thought she probably didn’t understand the meaning of at least one of those words. … So I’m going to start semi-regularly writing my autobiography by topic. Feel free to suggest any topics you’d like to hear my story on. Keep reading
Making Rainbows
Categories: With the Kiddos
Back in April the episode of Sesame Street that we watched had them talking about rainbows, the colors in a rainbow and how to make one. Iddo wanted to make her own rainbows. We had “Mix It Up” by Herve Tullet checked out from the library and we’d read it a few times. We read it again. After that it was time to get out our paints. Keep reading
