The Art of Homemaking: This is the Greatest Show Three weeks ago today Simon graduated from high school. Three weeks and 28 years ago today I graduated from high school. At that time I would have never guessed the paths I would take and where life would lead me. And I certainly wouldn't have guessed that 28 years later I would be standing in the exact same place taking selfies with my son. A few days before Simon's graduation I attended Ruth's graduation....Ruth is ... View the Post
Personal Restoration Renovation and Conservation: On Perspective
Personal Restoration Renovation and Conservation: On Perspective For more than a decade we have been taking our family to Southern Utah for Spring Break. This year was no exception. But I knew this year would be different....bittersweet. You see, this year my oldest is a senior in high school which meant this would be his last spring break with us....so I wanted this year to be extra special. As this vacation was approaching we talked about all the things we wanted to do on this ... View the Post
Easter Egg Hunt Printables
Easter Egg Printables Today we have a quick and easy last minute Easter Egg Hunt idea for you. Recently I have noticed that what my own kids want (and even what my students in my classroom want) is more one on one time and attention. And so while I love Easter candy (those tiny Cadbury chocolate eggs....they are MY FAVORITE) this year we are putting something in our Easter Eggs besides candy. We are adding printed coupons to the mix. Earlier this week I typed up some printable ... View the Post
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project I think it's fair to say that these past few years have changed the world. I know they have changed me.

Now, I would love to say that all of these changes have been positive...that I've become a better, stronger, more positive person...but that simply isn't true. I will spare you ... View the Post
On being a Homemaker
I remember when I was younger the last job on planet earth I wanted was to be a "homemaker." It seemed like such a trite, ridiculous word and something I never, ever wanted to do. For 5th grade career day I dressed up as a business woman with an old leather briefcase and told everyone I was going to own a company and be rich. I struggled in college with my career choice over and over. I wanted to be a teacher, I loved working with children; but I also worried from early on that it would also ... View the Post
If You Want to Rise (A Soul Mending Society Post)
If you want to rise... It has been awhile since I've written a Soul Mending Society post and figured it was about time. Especially since this is something that has been on my mind: For more than a year now I have been teaching some Community Education courses on bread making. I love bread...I love eating it, making it, smelling it, talking about it, and teaching others how to make it. Plus because of the pandemic I've been able to teach all the courses over zoom from my own ... View the Post
