Good….Evening! Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that this week has been really good. I’ve appreciated having a calmer mind, room to breathe, and a greater capacity to have conversations with my kids. I’ve also been making dinner more. Tonight I made my favorite soup–Italian Sausage & Vegetable–the perfect night-before-the-race meal …
Shuggie Shuggie, How you get so fly? I’ve realized it may have been better to spell it Shoogie all these years, but oh well. You know what I’m saying. Giiiirl… Where do I begin? Dan. You are such cool girl. So many times I have watched you and just been struck with what a fun, …
Just wanted to note here that the words I addressed to Jane, I saved as a draft so as to respect her privacy.
Dear Camp, Jane, Danin and Skip, I haven’t done this in a while–write to you–so I’m doing it now. There are so many things I want to tell you–and even more–so many things I want to remember about you that I’m terrified I will forget. As you well know, I am not a worrier. …

December 4, 2017 Dear Family and Friends, I’m sitting at my computer with Christmas music playing softly as I write. My Christmas playlist has been playing all evening. It was playing just now as I had a screaming match with Danin and then dragged her to her room, literally. I’m 39 years old now, …
Way back when my wedding day was approaching, I began to be a little concerned by the fact that I wasn’t all that excited to have sex. To me, hugging and kissing and cuddling and all that stuff was plenty fun, and I didn’t really care to do any more than that. Just the prospect …
The other day, I was thinking about weddings. Specifically, I was thinking about how I would style a reception if I were getting married tomorrow. Because I love to design and decorate my home, people are always surprised that I don’t necessarily have an interest in or a knack for decorating for events. …
Have you heard this poem before? As Brian and I and the kids were driving back to Florence from Vegas after a week there for Spring Break, we were listening to General Conference. I fell asleep several times, but caught some of the words to this poem and loved them. I immediately grabbed my phone …
