a photo finish


For about $3 I printed off some new pictures to freshen up my photo wall.
And I vowed to print off my digital images more often. cheap and easy.

Kristine was in town this weekend so it was only logical that I make her pancakes on Sunday morning. Ok, so I made her do all the work. But what are twin sisters for?

"You Dodo head"--Jen




Really loved having Teen and Jen in town this weekend. (even if it's for a sad reason) It was super great to have all the sisters together. We really missed the rest of the group that wasn't here (i'm looking at you Dad, Benson, Lindsey, Dave). Dinner out at the Dodo in Sugarhouse was a nice way to spend Friday night.

cindy and sophia



We went to an art show last weekend at Fice. They were featuring photographs by Ricky Powell. Celebrities like Andy Warhol, Eazy E, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, etc.

I can't get over these 2 shots though. Cindy Crawford and Sophia Coppola.

Remember that felt garland I made in October?
I'm changing things up around here and I'll be making a new one.
Which means I am selling this one to the first interested person.
It's very long.
and colorful.

Simplify


+++


Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify
Henry David Thoreau

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Henry David Thoreau


If life and its rushed pace and many stresses have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing, then perhaps now is a good time to refocus on what matters most.
Elder Uchtdorf



I'm giving a lesson in Relief Society today on Elder Uchtdorf's talk Of Things That Matter Most
I have loved reading and listening to this talk all week. I have found it to be such a great exercise to look at my life and ask myself where I am spending most of my time. I am reminded how much I love the topic of simplicity and the desire I have to rid of the extra stuff. A simpler wardrobe, simpler foods, a simpler home, a simpler use of my time. I always find more joy and purpose when I am doing the things that I know I should be doing and not cluttering my life with the fluffy stuff. The four key relationships that need nurturing and time are with Heavenly Father, my Family, Fellowman, and Myself. I am feeling rejuvenated.
