Two-year-old Jade was asking to borrow Sarah’s wallet and Sarah didn’t want her to.
But during Jade’s nap, Sarah and I decided to make her a wallet of her own for Christmas. When Jade opened it and saw what it was, she exclaimed, “A wallet! I’ve always wanted a wallet!” and ran over to give her sister […]
A friend was talking to me on the phone and asked if she was talking too much and if I had things to talk about (which is a nice twist, as I feel like I’m always the one who can’t shut up). “No,” I told her, “I’m just ironing and it’s nice to have someone […]

A Christmas post is coming, complete with pictures of some cute (and maybe some not-so-cute, but no less loved) hand-made gifts. But if you’ve read any of my blogs in the past, you know about me and uploading pictures from the camera. So, you know, don’t hold your breath or anything.
It was wonderful though, spending the […]

In the grocery story recently, the girls were walking merrily along beside me, holding onto the cart and kind of singing and skipping as they went. They weren’t loud or all over the place by any means, just happy, and everybody smiled when they saw them.

(Though quickly discarding anything that served to emphasis my natural […]
So 2-year-old has some kind of bad diaper rash that’s not so much a rash as it is just scattered little sores that won’t go away. Well, this stuff does heal them quickly, but more just keep coming, so something is up.
It doesn’t appear to be connected to the diapers — she doesn’t even wear one half the […]

I’m just going to have to tell myself No More, one of these days. No more site tinkering, it’s fine, now just write.
Right. My hosting company fixed my font display issue — I guess it was a problem encountered on the server move, I don’t know, but it’s all better now. I just hope most of you have […]
Are always those that start with me managing to get out of bed early. Early meaning at least 7, but I’d like to get to where I consistently manage 6:30.
Somehow my getting dressed and ready for the day, and possibly even having time for sitting on the couch with some hot chocolate and my scriptures before […]

At least, that’s what my five-year-old told me tonight. Jade went to bed a bit early so Sarah and I were reading our own books on my bed for a bit until she got sleepy. She put one of her books down and said,
“I’m going to snuggle up next to you for a bit, and then […]

Hi, I'm Kate.
I have a propensity for rambling at length about parenting, attempting crafting projects far beyond my capabilities, staying up entirely too late, and craving sugary treats. This is my journal.
(More details?)
