I made my family’s favorite whole wheat tortillas to go along with dinner the other night (along with a few loaves of whole wheat bread on the side) and was shocked when I realized that I had never shared my favorite bread recipe here. I made everyone in the family wait to eat the […]
It took me almost 40 years to make my first trip to Zion National Park, and when I finally made it there, I only brought one teenage daughter and my mom. But…we met my old neighbor and friend with 4 of her kids and set out for a day of hiking with our group […]
Thanks to Participant Media for sponsoring this post and for the opportunity to acknowledge the importance of teachers in our children’s lives. All thoughts are my own. I love this quote about influential and inspiring teachers: When I was in Mrs. Smith’s 5th and 6th grade class, I thought that she was the meanest, […]

The kids headed back to school this Monday, and other than ending the day completely exhausted, they all had a great time. Believe me when I say….I am grateful that school is back in session! In all of the first day of school pics I took, it cracks me up that I didn’t get […]

When Necco, my mom and I were in Southern Utah last week, we were able to stay an extra day with my aunt and uncle in St. George. Now a little background - this is the aunt and uncle that used to take me out on their boat during the summers in Lake Tahoe. […]
Except for that running scene in Forest Gump, I didn’t know there were people (real people?) who hiked, biked, ran and camped across the United States until my husband became fasinated with it. And when I say “across the United States” I mean from one coast to the opposite coast or from the Northernmost […]
My mom and 14 year old daughter, Necco, met my friend and 4 of her kids at Zion National Park last week for a day of hiking….and sweating. Zion’s is a gorgeous place to visit…but I’m not sure I’d recommend it during the month of August! More pictures and details when I get back […]
