We had an awesome Thanksgiving! All of our Freeze Family was in town for a wedding from Indiana and it was great to spend time with them!

2011-11-17T22:06:00.001-08:00

The "rule of three" is a principle in writing that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. So it seems lately, I'm totally a fan of the three's! HALLOWEEN! Which is actually my third favorite holiday {#1. Christmas! #2. My birthday - yes it is a holiday! Um, hello it only comes around every 4 years, so

It's about "TIME"...

First TIME for everything... {first...sorry for the odd facial expressions and poses in this post... remember I am pregnant and borderline crazy in so many ways...} I have been wanting to can all fall...I canned applesauce with my mother-in-law (Marva Lu!) last fall but she practically held my hand the whole time! So the garden was overflowing with tomatoes and with fresh peach stands

"Make the Most of it" “Tell me right now who tooted in this car!” That wasn’t exactly the response I was looking for as I rolled down my window to absorb the breathtaking view that is La Jolla Shores. It is one of those places that makes my heart pound with memories of meaning. I especially enjoy going over to the Children’s Pool, which is a natural habit for sea lions. No need for Sea

I started reading the SEGULLAH blog over a year ago because it was introduced to me through Cath. She is an amazing mother and gifted writer. I luv this blog because it is inspiring. It is truth. It is women coming together to share, discuss, support, and believe in the important role of women and mothers in today's society. Not only has it affected me, but I have been able to forward certain

I am a Mother. by Jane Clayson"You didn't quite look like yourself today," a beautiful sister said. "I just want you to know that I love you. And I am so glad you are in our ward." Tears rolled down my face. I could not express at that moment what that act of kindness meant to me. This woman, busy with her children and her own demanding job, could have easily felt justified in labeling me "
