SO, a couple weekends back, I ran across this book on organizing during one of my escape trips to Barnes & Noble (you’d be surprised at how often those trips seem to happen). I felt so inspired that I ended up ordering the book from Amazon a few days later and, in my frenzy of excitement …
Holiday Card Rejects
Even though these are the pictures that didn’t make the cut to put on our Christmas card (which may or may not be a theoretical concept as of now–it all depends on how my energy levels are feeling in about a week), I still liked ’em enough to share. Funny story: we had originally planned …

It’s official–we are in the thick of the holiday season! Matt and I kicked things off by putting up our Christmas tree, sipping sparkling cider, and sharing a beginning-of-holidays-but-not-quite-at-midnight smooch. And this weekend it’s home again, home again for us as we head back down to Bountiful to celebrate the holidays with my entire extended family. It should be …
