As an employment missionary, I've begun to notice the similarities between hopeful authors and job seekers. This post helps answer the questions "What do I say? What do I do?" for both. The AN...

The writers conference/ job interview is drawing near, and it’s time to update your makeup. No, really. Most of us started wearing makeup in Junior High, or Middle School – depending ...

In Midnight in Austenland, Shannon Hale once again proves her stuff as a master storyteller. Hale took the same setting and many of the same characters from her first Austenland novel, and spun...

I have to admit that I've never made an omelet. Embarrassing? I don't know. When you're raising seven children, what're they going to do with an omelet? A mom would have to make seven omelets, an...
Not to give away my age, but as a teen, Donnie & Marie were big news. Their songs dominated the radio, and Marie's song, Paper Roses, was one my lovesick teenaged heart had memorized. Figurativ...

The one great thing – or rather, one great thing about St. Louis is the history. Many of the buildings date back to the 1800’s. A couple of buildings date back farther than that. I love the b...

This shows the power of one person in doing good. The video doesn't tell the first of the story. He went into Berlin to take pictures, and saw the children. He decided to give them the two sticks...

I love Christmas. Thinking of Christ and pondering his life and gifts to us is a glorious opportunity. This is another great Christmas message: Remember the reason for the season. Merry Christmas...

It's official. Being a Senior Missionary is the best! We can enjoy leisure pursuits - like reading. I bought the movie Pride and Prejudice years ago, and much to the chagrin of my daughter, I w...

It's a slam dunk getting to go to the St Louis Art Museum. You've got to love a city that shares it's culture and history for free. It's been called a "family friendly city." This is why: the zoo...

I felt a bit awkward going into the Cathedral Basilica wearing my missionary tag. But we were told that it was one of THE places to see in St Louis. We got there a little before the tour started....

DINNER AND A MOVIE. This song was sung at St. Louis South stake's conference this past weekend. The spirit gave a strong confirmation that the Lord does watch over us. Listen to this and know t...

The first thing a person should do on their mission, is get to know the area, and then get to loving the people. It hasn’t been hard loving the people of St Louis. They’re all so nice. Most o...

Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. I'll not reveal how old he is, but he hasn't turned 60 yet. To celebrate, I'm going to embarrass him by posting some crazy pictures I've taken of him. Bubb...

As most of you know, my husband and I are on our mission now. The year before our decision to serve was full of trials and hardship. The time since our decision to serve has been exciting, fun, a...

Did you ever want to stand next to a mountain lion? What would he do? What would you? In this zoo, we had that opportunity. I felt sorry for many of the animals in this zoo, as many of them se...

As part of our travels, I wanted to stop by the memorial garden in Oklahoma City. It was worth it to spend a moment thinking of the precious nature of life, and how quickly things can change. ...

Also in Missouri is the Meramec State Park. It's a beautiful paradise, only marred by the heat of the day we went. This picture below is where it all starts - the river. This is the place where i...

While driving through Missouri, we kept seeing billboards for caverns. I love 'em. We had a few minutes, so we pulled into the Fantastic caverns. It's a drive-through cavern with expert tourguide...

Bears! Lions, tigers, leopards! What can be more fun than a barrel of monkeys and a couple of grandkids? I'm keeping the pics of my special cuties to myself, but I got some other interest...

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted on my blog here since April. Well, it’s not because I’ve been on vacation. The opposite is true. We put our house up for sale in order t...
