Time to Look Up

Time To Look Up We all fall, we all make mistakes. We all know what it’s like to feel our heads hang. That is how we learn. It is part of the plan. But more important is what we do after. It is a choice. Do we let our heads hang or do we look…

Building Bridges

This painting is titled Building Bridges. It is a representation of the efforts of genealogy and family history work. As we take names to the temple we have this amazing opportunity to be apart of building bridges through Christ and welcome loved ones into the light of the gospel. It is a simple representation of…

Angela’s Chakra Painting

Angela’s Chakra Painting. I was talking to my friend about chakras. She was telling me how she sees chakras differently than just a line. That it’s a beautiful collection of swirls all radiating outward spreading and reaching. It was such a beautiful image that I asked her if I could paint it! This is what…

Be still

Be Still, God does not give us a challenge and then says, “Okay, good luck, see you on the other side.” He is with us every step of the way. He asks us to be still and know that he is God. “The original Hebrew root of Be Still doesn’t mean “be quiet”; it means…

Toilets and Toddlers

Man, what is it with toddlers and toilets? As soon as you turn your back they are all over it! Violet is one and won't keep her hands out of it no matter who or what is deposited inside! Can't keep the door closed all the time though because Gemma, the two year old, is…

Just Until Eternity

I know, I did it again. It has been quite some time since I have posted. I have been super busy. This time of year is all over the place for me and my family. On top of all the normal holiday stuff, we have 4 out of 5 birthdays to plan and prepare for…

Just Keep Your Mouth Closed!

Yeah, this totally just happened. It is one of those moments when your glad you didn't make time to take a shower yet because you would be doing it again. Sometimes your just grateful for one shower, but to have to take two? I don't have time for that! Ever had a reflux baby? If…

Irish twins are tough!

Wow! It was a long eventful night last night! Really it was just a lot of work. My sweet hubby came home early so I could go to the temple, but (despite that online it said it was open) it was closed. I had a nice quiet drive though. When I got back there was…
