Five years ago, I started an incredible, indescribable journey. One that launched me into my vocation filled with joys and sorrows but one that would draw me closer to Christ like no other. One that would be bountiful with blessings, both earthly and spiritual. One that would change me, challenge me and transform me on… Continue Reading
Not too long ago, I would get this feeling, starting on Sunday evening and ending on Friday afternoon. A feeling of restlessness, of being slightly unfulfilled, of wanting to be somewhere other than where I was. I enjoyed my job, I enjoyed the paycheck and I really enjoyed the people I worked with. But I… Continue Reading
This was a big week for Miss Spicy (ok, and mommy too). Not only were we adjusting our sleep patterns from the vacation family schedule where we all stayed up far too late and sleeping in far too late, Alizea has embarked on many ‘firsts’ this week! Monday: Her 1st shower with mommy (that is… Continue Reading
Reasons why today was a Terrrific Tuesday! A surprise visit from my mom. Any amount of time with my mom is cherished and just plain enjoyable. But the unexpected ones are so special. I just adore the opportunity to be with her as we share our common blessing to be able to work from our homes… Continue Reading
We’re back! What an absolutely wonderful time we had. Every moment was so serene. So peaceful. So blessed. Utah resident’s license plate slogan reads: “Life Elevated”. On so many levels, we were indeed elevated above the drudges of daily life. The drive. 9 hours there. 9 hours back, not to mention the 20+ hours in the car… Continue Reading

Just look at these two. Ahhhh, how I love them so! It is no mystery to me where Sweets gets her charming, delightful, pleasant, agreeable, happy, joyful nature. It’s quite fitting then that she & daddy share a special milestone today. To Dean, the Love of my Life: You are a wonderful wonderful man, husband… Continue Reading
Some time ago, I saw the title of this post on a bumper sticker spinning off that famous “Trix” commercial slogan and it came to mind today. You would think that with all those curls, she’d be 100% “girly girl” But I’m afraid Spicy is not all about dolls and dresses (at least not right… Continue Reading
First off, isn’t this the cutest $1 buy?!? (Technically, it was $2.50 in the ‘dollar’ section of Target but what a steal! Very Montessori-like and helpful in our study of the calendar)I was also taken back when I realized it was time to change the month! September already?!? As in 4 months left in the… Continue Reading
Today we had a super exciting play date. It was “super exciting” because I always look so much forward to seeing and chatting with “Miss Juweeanna” (as Alizea calls her) and her red-head beauty, Elyse, and we were long overdue! I got up extra early to make our lunches so I could maximize the time… Continue Reading
