I am completely enamored of skincare. And, if I do say so myself, I have really great skin. I like to make a lot of my beauty supplies and these two items are the stars in my beauty arsenal: One is an Eye Salve to wear at night. It’s made of shea butter, [...]

Inspired (as usual) by DesignMom , we’re hosting an auction to benefit Stephanie and Christian Nielson who were seriously injured in a plane crash a couple of weeks ago. Maybe you know NieNie from her fantastic blog? Or Cjane (her sis) from her writing here at Blog Segullah? If so (or not), [...]

‘Brigham Young guessed publicly that there was a lot more singing and dancing in heaven than in hell, and he saw no reason why the saints should imitate the hot place.’
–Wallace Stegner’s ‘Mormon Country’, page 18 of the 2003 paperback edition.

It was so hot. The dashboard felt like I could fry an egg on it. So I stopped at 7-Eleven for a drink. When I saw the Slurpee machine…I. fell. in. love. Slurpees always remind me of home. My mom owned a bookstore in the small Utah town where I [...]

Sometimes I can be what my mom likes to call ‘beligerent’ about certain topics.

The nice lady at Murray Park gave me detailed directions and I thought I’d pass them along.  If you enter the park from 330 East Vine, pass the pool, and park in the next parking lot, there is a nice shady area near the playground for us to meet. 
See you there tomorrow from 5-7 pm!
 

Please come if you can? Why?

2. Because those who choose not to come that don’t have a pre-existing condition (living out of state, pregnancy related madness, fear of playground equipment, etc…) will be charged bigger membership fees next year. You haven’t heard [...]

WHEN: Wednesday July 9th, 5-7 p.m.
WHERE: Murray Park (near the playground…more details to come). 5109 Murray Park Ln. Murray, UT [...]
