Aaaaah. The glorious postpartum body. As if it isn’t enough growing and birthing a human, but we then have to figure out how to dress the awkward postpartum body in a flattering way without breaking the bank. But how?? When your size changes almost weekly, and you’re not big enough for maternity clothes, but not…
Can you believe August is right around the corner? Summer has just flown by, which means school is around the corner! I will have several kiddos in some sort of school next year (between preschool, kindergarten and elementary), so I’ve got to get organized, and plan ahead with my school-shopping trips.

I first noticed it with the show Who Do You Think You Are, that followed celebrities as they discovered long lost family history. Then I got hooked on a local reality show, Relative Race on BYU-TV (which is like The Amazing…
I know many of us use photo books as great gifts for grandparents, for photo journals for ourselves, and I even like to use them to document my kids’ schoolwork and artwork so I don’t have piles of paper lying around. But have you ever considered using one to display the BEFORE pictures of your house?? If…
Can I just say I love you guys? Like, creepily, legitimately, not-even-kidding L-O-V-E you guys. On a whim, I decided to do an in-person event…just for fun.
