An easy way to begin a journey toward mindful living, is to get outdoors! We’ve been great about getting outdoors for years, but when I let life happen to me, I don’t always use the time outdoors for a much needed mental reboot! Instead, with spotty cell service, I find myself refreshing web pages I …
In the middle of the work day, we were able to get away for 3 hours to the mountains! American Fork Canyon is just a few miles away. Tibblefork reservoir is just a few miles up the canyon, and is literally heaven on Earth! The kids brought friends. Erica, since she can officially drive other …
We were able to spend the last few days in Mesquite Nevada to join TJ and his Arsenal soccer team in a tournament. I was SO GRATEFUL to be in nice weather. The first day we arrived, there was a game right away. Our team lost 1-0. The next day, the game wasn’t until 5pm, …
Since Nate left, we haven’t had a second to think about how much we miss him. Life is moving at full speed, and I’m just not sure where some days have gone. TJ entered the district science fair. He decided to wear his glasses so he could look extra smart. It was much smaller than …

Apparently they found some sunglasses somewhere. TJ and Michael getting ready for dinner. Sarah and Maddie Erica and Nate.
One of the best things about being a blogger is taking trips to meet and collaborate with other bloggers. I was so lucky to win a spot in the most recent Click Retreat, in San Francisco. It was beyond amazing!! Everyone I met, and everything I learned will be with me forever. The first cool thing, …
Our second dirty dash! Probably would do more, if it weren’t so expensive. The kids had a blast. Nate did the full 10K. Me, Wade, Erica, and TJ did the 5K. I actually got sick, like I was going to throw up. The kids went ahead and finished before I did.
Halloween has come and gone.. Seriously, where does the time go? We don’t do much in the way of decorating. We just put a few pumpkins our porch. But my next door neighbor, who is 5, told me about 10 times this month that his house is decorated way better than ours. lol So, Nate …
