One of the most meaningful and inspiring talks I’ve ever heard is Good Things to Come by Jeffrey R. Holland. It was made into the beautiful Mormon Message video below, and I’ve watched it countless times. Especially during our trials of infertility and adoption it’s brought me tremendous comfort. I can’t make it through this video without tearing up (and some days sobbing). It’s such […]
Friends, I’m feeling discouraged today. It seems like there is so much hate in the world. More than I ever remember witnessing. I look at my beautiful children and pray that they feel safe and loved. That they will not face hatred because of their races (though I know that they will). I pray that my anxious heart will be […]
I received a request from a sweet customer who purchased both my swirly heart pattern and my swirly pumpkin pattern from my Etsy shop.

I have a crush on November. This time of year holds so many of my favorite things: sweater weather and pumpkins, hot chocolate and falling leaves. I love the crisp air and dark, cozy evenings. But my absolute favorite thing about this time of year is the focus on gratitude. While society seems to skip straight from Halloween to Christmas, I […]
Sometimes I have an idea and I know exactly how I want it to turn out. And sometimes I need to mull things over for a while before finally something clicks and I know just what I want to do. This coloring book falls into the latter category. I’ve had this project in the back of my mind for at […]

I had a mother who read to me Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea, Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth, “Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath. I had a Mother who read me lays Of ancient and gallant and golden days; Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe, Which every boy has a right to know. I had a Mother who […]
