Favorite Mom Blogs


Have you heard of www.71toes.com? I love this lady; there is nothing about her family life appears sugar coated or perfect and she doesn’t pretend to be something she isn’t. She completely adores her husband and kids and it is completely obvious in every post. The pictures of her family are gorgeous and she seems to capture their personalities so well.  She has a daughter with a disability, which is a topic many can relate to.  I love her Q&A session every Friday, but she doesn’t seem to take part in the comments from her posts as often as I would like to see, but her Q&A session seems to make up for it.

Another favorite of mine is www.iamboymom.blogspot.com. This is a personal friend of mine who is the mother of two boys.  She is super funny and her blog is full of the antics of the men in her life. She shares her devotion to Clorox© wipes and Soft Scrub© cleanser in the form of giveaways on her blog fairly often and since her blog is still fairly small, I have even won free stuff.   The only downside is that she doesn’t update much as she has a real job outside of her home so sometimes I miss her.

Lately, I have been drawn to www.itsalmostnaptime.blogspot.com for a variety of reasons. This gal is hilarious as noted in the post where she admits to serving wine instead of grape juice at her church’s communion; she is a great story teller. She and her husband are in the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia and I love hearing news regarding that process. Her blog is well organized and down to earth even if I don’t always agree with her religious beliefs.
Here is a list of others in no specific order.  Check them out:

    Wow...how did I miss this post? You are truly one of my most favorite people in the world, Stacy. You have always been so supportive and honestly, I have never met anybody who gets as much done in a day as you do. I'll try to stop by more often! Thanks so much for the shout out!

Merry Christmas 2023

Has it been a year already? What a year it's been. Because of the normal/abnormal craziness, I asked each of the families/individuals to write their own blurb this year (and added some of our thoughts too).  Vance Throughout 2023, the family joyously settled into their newly purchased 1927 home in Springville, Utah, benefitting from the previous owners' renovations. Despite encountering minor setbacks like water damage early on, they relished becoming part of the community. Vance, working as a sales operations manager, dedicated his year to conquering trail races, winning a 25k and securing third place in a marathon before celebrating his 31st birthday by running 31 miles. Afterward, he opted for a running hiatus. Katelynn embraced motherhood, cherishing moments with Livi and Parker, exploring parks, museums, and mastering sourdough baking. Olivia excelled as a big sister, enjoying swimming despite disliking putting her face underwater, starting preschool, and proudly participa

Saying Goodbye to my Little Boy

Image
Vance age 4 I remember sending off my oldest to kindergarten and knowing that his world was about to be bigger than the four walls surrounding our home.  It was with a terrific amount of strength and faith that I sent him out in to the world, so to speak.  I knew that from here on out, my opinion wouldn’t always be the one he counted on, that the world was about to have its part in helping me raise my boy.   I have wondered and worried every new year as I sent him off on a new phase, if I taught him enough to be able to weather the storms of life with a sound knowledge of why he is here on this earth and what he needs to do to be successful in his journeys.  Every single one of my kids gets the same worries as they start a new school year or in his case, a new phase in his life. About every August I shed more than a few tears as I send my children off on their next new adventure; middle school, high school, college, full time employment, etc. At the end of every one of those “first

My kids go to "that" school

I just want to start off by saying that homeschooling and charter schools are not an option for me.  Call me crazy, but I'm not organized enough or disciplined enough to home school and I'm tool selfish to drive my kids to another school when there is one in my very own neighborhood and a bus to get my older kids to theirs.  It doesn't mean I'm anti either of them.  I just am happy where I'm at and have no reason to change.  My problem comes from people thinking that I am ignorant about where I send my own kids as if I haven't researched my options.  It is a topic that comes up on occasion and when it does, I feel like I have to defend myself for my choice.  I'm just going to highlight a few things that have been brought to my attention recently: Safety Several years ago, I asked the head of security at the "other" high school in our area (he is a friend of mine) if he thought there was more problems at my school than at his.  His answer?  "
