26 Random Things

I made this list awhile ago and never posted it, so here are 25 random things about me, ala U.S. Weekly.  Usually people do 25 things, but I miscounted. I’m the youngest of 6 girls. No-no brothers, no- we aren’t catholic, yes – my parents 

Outward appearances: I don’t have it all together

I have a couple of friends who are convinced that I have “it all together” and they “don’t know how I do it all”. It’s all smoke and mirrors folks.  I guess they just never see me at my worst (ask Lo!).  Funny enough, we 

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today (well technically yesterday, but I’m still up, so it counts as today) is my mom’s birthday!  We facetimed with her before Jenson went to bed tonight. (That’s me on the right with the sweet perm) 15 years later with 5 of her grandchildren 9 

Back to School: the pressure to conform starts young

I was reading through my Facebook feed on Saturday and I saw two different, but similar posts in two community groups from moms who were seeking advice about back to school clothing.  They weren’t asking where to find the best deal or school dress code

Life Lately… June

I haven’t been great at posting lately, so I’ll give you an idea of our life lately. Loving – Outdoor baby baths.  I think he’s the only one who was clean that day (no-shower Sundays). Tacos Hass tacos (authentic taco place near us). I read 

Loren’s First Father’s Day

On the weekends, Loren usually gets up with Jenson between 8-9 a.m. so I can get a little extra sleep.  For Father’s Day, Jenson gave him quite a gift…we all woke up at 10:15.  I brought him in the bed when he woke around 7 

Work ch, ch, ch, ch, changes

As I mentioned a few times, Lo started his new job a few weeks ago.  We met at work, so we’ve worked in the same building since 2005 (started dating in 2006), so it’s been a big change for both of us (though more for 

Year 34, lots of changes

Oops, I always try to do a Happy Birthday post for Lo and I forgot this year.  I didn’t forget his birthday…just to post about it.  Babies will do that to you. Thirty-four was a big year for Lo – he became a father and
