The LDS church has started its 2017 #LightTheWorld campaign! The idea is to spread kindness and joy in the days leading up to Christmas. We’ll focus on adding light to the holidays. Each service can be as grand or as simple as you desire, and every little act counts. <3 It has been such a harsh year, but I know … Read More
Happy Miss Murder
I was asked to show a picture of myself where I was truly happy, and I chose this one. It was a Sunday. I wore a red dress to church, and I came home to be with my family, whom I love more than life. I have glittery walls in my bedroom and an original The Last Unicorn movie poster … Read More
My Favorite Picture of Me ‘n’ My Dad
I’d say I was maybe six or seven in this photo. We were at the elementary school with my little brother. He was riding his bicycle and I was rollerskating. This is just chock full of 1980s goodness. Also, I was a pretty feral kid and it shows. Love you, Dad!
A Perfectly Placed Package.
It fits beautifully, and is such a satisfying thing!

This is a go-to treat that whips up quickly, is super easy, and still manages to taste decadent. Better yet, … Read More
Fairy Gardens
Tonight I was in charge of eleven little girls for an activity. First we gathered around and I read them Sleeping Beauty, with twelve good fairies and one evil one. Then we made fairy gardens. We filled mason jars with some fresh earth, fake plants, and magical creatures. Fairies, princesses, and mermaids live in their new enchanted homes. It’s such … Read More
