When I started blogging last year, I had no idea how to do anything on my site... it looked so generic. I looked into buying a blog design, too expensive and unoriginal and if I got a free one, at least a couple of my friends had the same ones. SO,…

Well, we had to actually downsize again to move up to another college. Now we live in a place with no vent, no AC... and centerblock walls. LOL. That's the life and we've never been happier!
Oh! You have me laughing/crying at the same time! I guess that would be called... cryling? We are in the trailer situation currently, and last summer I was exactly as you were - pregnant, in a 30+ year old trailer, doors (if they were there) falling…
Ben and I had a whirlwind romance. Even though we grew up living down the street from one another, attended the same church, and went to high school together -- we were never friends. I was two years older and a lot taller than he was then (now he i…

Blog Design "How to's"
When I started blogging last year, I had no idea how to do anything on my site... it looked so generic. I looked into buying a blog design, too expensive and unoriginal and if I got a free one, at least a couple of my friends had the same ones. SO, that is when I got in my mind to teach myself some of the tricks of the trade... I learned things designers won't share! But you know what? I will. So a couple months ago I started a blog solely for the purpose of sharing what I have discovered so YOU… Continue

...and we lived happily ever after... in a trailer
Ben and I had a whirlwind romance. Even though we grew up living down the street from one another, attended the same church, and went to high school together -- we were never friends. I was two years older and a lot taller than he was then (now he is a full head taller!).
We actually didn't hook up until several years later when Ben got back from living in Mexico for 2 years. I know this sounds super cheesy and out of a romance novel, but I knew the moment we saw each other, after all those yea… Continue

Sam's Club Torture
I don't know about you, but one of the worst things about Ben, my husband, going back to school is that I have to run all my errands alone.. with the boys. Great anxiety ensues when I look into the fridge and realize that I am long due for a trip to Sam's Club.
After much grunting and groaning, I get shoes on the boys. And then I grunt and groan a little more as I shove them in their car seats. At this point Sam thinks he is so clever and unsnaps his seat belt just as I plant myself in the fron… Continue

- No kidding. Cooped up with kids can ALWAYS help you find something to write about. That's how I usually come up with somethin'....
Your an absolute brave example for us women everywhere!

- Ooo- I forgot another one- read the previous one first- I'll wait...
Okay, I was posting a blog and instead of "warm fuzzies" I wrote "arm fuzzies". That paints a whole 'nother picture! And I didn't realize it until HOURS later...

- LOL! That's hilarious- and spell check can't save you! I had a cousin who spelled horses-hores [not Camryn], and then I received an email where the person forgot the "o" in hello! I LOVE typo's! They make me laugh so hard that I throw up a little...

- I would send you cookies if I could....until modern technology is advance enough to send chocolate chip cookies through email--you'll be the first I send it to--for now, A HUGE THANKS!

- You are SO SO SO amazing! Thanks woman! I didn't even see that the href was backwords! Good eyes! Could you do me a huge favor? Is it possible to try to copy and paste them on your blog to see if they work and if they do then I'll know that everything is working great? Just erase the button when your done--I just want to know if it is working :)
You are brilliant! Thanks again!

- I know how you feel! The public blog thing was so intimidating when I first started. But it's baby steps....I need to get comfortable with this first and then maybe I can publish :)
I checked out your blog--super fun! I'm definately a "follower" :)
You know--my buttons on my page are strange. If you click on them--it refreshes the page--but it doesn't show the entire code. I went into my layout just to double check--and the href and http:// sign is in there but for some reason it isn't showing on the blog. If you copy and paste it on your blog--it should work anyways. At least, it refreshes the page for me when I click on them...
Strange....did you try copying one and it didn't work? Just curious to know how it's working out...

- I am so sorry about your short story and what your "mentor" did! If that had happened to me, I don't know if I could ever recover! You are brave to keep going. I am such a chicken--my book is my baby and I can't share it with anyone. In fact, I'm REALLY nervous about sending it in to a publisher. It's the fear of having them read it and then say "nevermind" and have one of their own talented writers write the same story--but even better--after taking my idea and running with it.
BTW--did you know that Jordan Smith is my cousin? Small world, huh? Love ya Jordan!

Wow, what a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing.
And a very merry Christmas to you.
I read an article in the December issue of Ensign magazine that, while not a typical Christmas story, was a story of true love and unselfishness that touched my heart. Titled Dad's Lesson in Love, by Marcia Akes, it is the love story of the author's…
