Making Glue with Breast Milk. It’s weird, I know.
I had one bag of frozen breast milk left. Three ounces of a drink, but it represented a year of breastfeeding my first babe, and two years of breastfeeding my second babe. All the emotions. Lots of moms make jewelry from milk to commemorate this achievement. That’s not quite weird enough for me. In fact, […]
Free LDS Printable: Act on Your Ideas. Especially the Good Ones.
My cousin is on an LDS mission in Oregon. He sends a fun little update every week, and this week’s email had a message that inspired me. He shared this spiritual thought:
A Heartfelt Message

Eight Minimalist Costume Ideas
Halloween is just around the corner! I know that I am an adult, but I still love dressing up every year.

Resin Art: Antelope Island in a 3d Topographical Land Sculpture
The youtube vortex sucked me in, and I ended up watching this video: And, like always, I thought, “I NEED to try this!” So I did. First attempt = disaster. But I learned SO much. Only use a little bit of paint in the resin. Background colors can show up. Extremely level/flat is insanely important […]
Slice Oranges, Turn Inside Out. Orange you glad I showed you this!?
You guys. I don’t like to brag (I totally like to brag) but, I just blew my own mind. How? I was slicing oranges (let’s pretend my kids always have fresh and healthy snacks). I was trying to pop out a few chunks for the youngest; I pushed a little harder than I meant to, […]

Airport Bathroom + 3-Year-Old. How Things Usually Go.
As anyone who has potty trained knows, public restrooms are worse than the political bickering in my facebook feed right now. But somehow, in the LAX airport restroom, my 3-year-old had me (and everyone else in the bathroom) in tears laughing. It happened here: It went like this:
Have you ever wanted a pair of leggings with a baby sloth on them? Me neither.

My sister asked me to make a little handout for a church class she teaches. Since I love sharing all of my creations, I’m giving away this LDS printable quote for FREE!
