What I Wore Wednesday

I have a sister who is my biggest advocate against ever appearing on the show “Hoarders.” I’m not saying I would be on the show if I didn’t know her, I’m just saying she’s the one who offers the vocal “DO IT” when I say, “I think I want to get rid of this” andContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part II

Last night I read this: Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity.

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.

Friday was a day, ya’ll. One of those days where you’re like, “Wait, wait, is this really happening to me?” And not exactly in the good way, either…rather, the kind of way that promises to seep into your weekend and puke sewer water into your otherwise happy-weekend thoughts. And then I was emailed this picture:ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.”

An update on the “Frankendress”

So, usually I write about faith and stuff, right? Yes. Well, this is CONSUMING all of my energy and attention right now. Therefore I invite you to share with me that which has eaten my life. I promise we’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. I originally said this dress would be calledContinueContinue reading “An update on the “Frankendress””

What I Wore Wednesday

By a show of hands, how many of you have ever gone shopping and ended up buying something completely different from what you had originally intended to buy? *Raises hand* Good. I’m glad we’ve had this talk. So, last summer I was acting/ directing/ choreographing/ costuming a really cool play with an incredibly awesome, inspiring,ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Lauren believes in me

Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren’s Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don’t mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.ContinueContinue reading “Lauren believes in me”

Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class

Yeah, so, I take an acrobat class. This is because once I went to a Bible Study and the icebreaker was, “If you were going to join the circus, what would you do in the circus?” And I was like, “Trapeze. Duh.” Because, really, what else is there? Right about this time my plans forContinueContinue reading “Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class”

What a Week it has been!

I use the term “week” loosely, since it’s Friday and Halloween was last Wednesday. Small matters. Halloween! I said I would write a post about our costumes and “I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful one hundred percent!” -Horton, from Horton Hears a Who That girl rockingContinueContinue reading “What a Week it has been!”

The Camino, Elections, and Fears/Lies in our ears

I’ll open this post by referencing another blog, one written by a Mormon mama who is interesting, talented, and has incredible home-birth stories. Just saying. Fact: she has also struggled with infertility. I loved her most recent post. She and her husband are having another baby! I love several things that she said, one ofContinueContinue reading “The Camino, Elections, and Fears/Lies in our ears”

What I LEARNED from TEACHING Children’s Liturgy

Every so often my sister and I lead “Children’s Liturgy.” This means that a bunch of little kids with big eyes and legs dangling to the floor stare at us while we try to talk to them about Jesus. Here is something that I love about them: they haven’t learned the “correct” answers yet, theContinueContinue reading “What I LEARNED from TEACHING Children’s Liturgy”
