al fresco
I have a goal this summer to eat at least one meal a day outside. We carried plates with BLT’s, tomato soup, and sweet potato fries out to the backyard tonight. My soup was cold, but with all of this green, how could I be mad? I also need to cut back these chives…but these…

overcast light
My favorite part of any time I have near the ocean, other than the smell & sound of ocean waves, are the overcast mornings with gorgeous-even light for hours! Utah has been “spoiling” us with amazing OVERCAST light lately! I feel like it has been raining for two weeks straight…or is it more? Anyway, we…

STILL the LIGHT
I will always be a student of photography. Creating STILL images with LIGHT has added so much goodness to my life. It has taught me to see beyond what my eye sees in passing. It has taught me to love the uniqueness in those I photograph. It has captured moments and memories that would have…

create a dream: a carwash episode
I was listening to a motivational podcast this week. The subject of the episode was finding your purpose, your personal legend. They suggested reflecting back to the dream you have had since your youth. It was intended to be motivating. I was actually left in somewhat of a stupor. There were things like writing and…

like learning an instrument
I read on one of the almost 100 mother’s day posts that I saw yesterday- “…because she enjoyed us so much, she taught me to enjoy my own children.” That isn’t an exact quote, but gives the full idea. It was my favorite thing I read yesterday. EnJOY! EnJOY life…motherhood…relationships! Even the messy, complicated, difficult,…

Easter Sunday
An Easter tradition we had when the girls were young was Saltwater Sandals in their Easter baskets. My girls actually hated them for years…so I did different things. THEN THIS YEAR! They all ASKED for them! Two of them even wore them that day with their Easter dresses. Now I am wondering what other things…

egg hunt
On Saturday Dede and I talked over the phone, debating whether or not to do an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Now that the youngest between us is 12 (Sophie) we thought they were probably over it, they were getting enough…and we were feeling lazy. We showed up to Nana’s house for Sunday dinner…

prom!
There is always some apprehension for Ellie leading up to a dance…but she has come home so happy every time. Going with her friend Caden this year was no exception. He is such a nice young man. They went with their group to Top Golf the night before and watched movies later. Saturday they met…

a glass of brushes
My Saturday morning began in the kitchen for a glass of water. On the window cil, I saw this glass with Kate’s makeup brushes inside. It is prom day for Ellie. Ellie didn’t want to spend money on having her makeup done professionally. Kate, who is the makeup enthusiast in our house, sweetly (and excitedly!)…

SEE HER
Sometime last year, I overheard some teenage girls talking. There was a get together planned that night. A group of friends (boys and girls) would be watching a movie at one of their homes. A few of the kids liked each other. One of the girls was unsure about the attention she knew one of…
