*You know what I just realized? I still haven’t blogged about our St. George trip. Hello, summer memory loss! (That’s a thing, right?) *I have discovered the secret to eating less chocolate (besides not buying it, that is)–put your chocolate of choice (in our case, Hershey’s Nuggets) into a candy dish right on your kitchen table.

Father’s Day 2013
My dad and me on my wedding day Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see ANY of my fathers yesterday in person–not my dad, my stepdad, or my dad-in-law. But I’m sure grateful for all of them, just the same. I’ve decided that the role of all my fathers has been this: to lavish me with …
