I once had a goal to attend every temple on the West Coast, but the Church keeps building more! I don’t even know where they all are – I have to look at the website map. Now I have a goal to get to just get to fifty. The ones in bold have been, atContinue reading “35 LDS temples I’ve been to”

reading list: Italy
Yay! I finally finished another book! Under the Tuscan Sun is a movie that I despise, so I was really hesitant to read the book. But the two are not similar at all. The movie is about a woman who had her heart broken so to rebuild her life, she goes on vacation to ItalyContinue reading “reading list: Italy”
38 places for travel plans
My last post is some of my favorite places around the US, but really – my FAVORITE place is anywhere these people are, grumpy faces and all: The places I want to go with them, but haven’t yet, are the Freedom Trail in Boston Rocky Ridge, the Laura Ingalls Wilder farm in Mansfield, Missouri AlaskaContinue reading “38 places for travel plans”
11 places I love in the USA

She’s getting quite good at making bracelets and earrings, and I’m happy to share my CRAFT table … but I still need part ofContinue reading “7 quilt projects”
LDSWP: antiracism for kids
My next LDSWP interview is with Alexandria Scott, founder of the brand new Ditto Kids magazine, an antiracism education resource for children and their grown-ups. In all of the social justice unrest of 2020, Alexandria looked for resources to teach her small children about antiracism but couldn’t find any, so she made one herself. HerContinue reading “LDSWP: antiracism for kids”
reading list: nope
The book Home Edit Life: The Complete Guide to Organizing Absolutely Everything at Work, at Home, and on the Go is on its way back to the library. One word: pretentious. The photos, while very pretty, are all the same: rainbow organization on a bright white background. Because people only own things in a rainbowContinue reading “reading list: nope”
LDSWP: angels
New interview on the LDS Women Project! Kathy McArthur wanted to do this interview for her 33 grandchildren and I was happy to get it down with her. The main thing that stood out is she believes in angels. She believes that people from the Other Side have helped her throughout her life. She believesContinue reading “LDSWP: angels”
