MUMADAY: February 2014

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 5, 2014. No freedom 'til we're equal. I've been a mess of emotions these last few weeks. A surge of thoughts and feelings has passed over me and taken up home since December 20th 2013. On this day, a district judge, completely within his jurisdiction and authority, overturned Article 3 of the Utah State Constitution and legalized same-sex marriage in the Beehive State. The monday following Judge Shelby's ruling, I watched the news as dozens of couples made their way to the Salt Lake C...

MUMADAY: Verse 1

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2014/09/verse-1.html

Tuesday, September 23, 2014. I'm too self aware to write really fantastic poetry. It was better when I was younger, cliches didn't scare me. But now here I sit, one more night looking for an outlet, looking for a spark. Turning the words, listening to Tori, and feeling things that are too much. I think Yorke said it best, "I can't shake that feeling, I could blow through the ceiling". That was one of the best times of my life, 101 degrees at midnight, dust and lights. And I remember what I do. I teac...

MUMADAY: August 2013

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 29, 2013. I've seen these around and thought I'd try my hand at a personal bloggy quiz. Feel no obligation to read this post (unlike my other posts, which are mandatory to read) but if you'd like to know a little more about me, for whatever reason, enjoy! 1Who was your favorite celebrity as a child? Mr Rogers all the way. He was like a grandpa to me. I watched his show every day. 2 What type of pets do you have? Currently I have 4 chickens and an adorable little dog. Anywhere. Really...

MUMADAY: May 2013

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 31, 2013. Social media abounds. It's everywhere, and with smartphones it really is like some sort of socially transmitted desease. There is no escaping it. With all that said, there are some things that happen on Facebook that make me smirk, shudder, and grimace. Let me go through some status update SNAFUS and plead with you all to stop. it. Or at least, think before you hit enter. Here we go! I'm having such a bad day. I wish the things that happened to me today hadn't.". If you get in a fig...

MUMADAY: January 2013

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 21, 2013. Over the years I have made an attempt to justify, rationalize, quantify or just simplify my love for dogs. I'm not sure I. Even get it. My relationship with my furry friends has been strained, stressful, exhaustive and intense. I've also experienced some of the deepest friendships I've ever had with my pups over the years. What follows is a brief and over-sentimental journey of my life as it has related to dogs. Sunday, January 6, 2013. A Mama At A Loss. I love being a mom. ...

MUMADAY: February 2013

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 14, 2013. A week after we met we both headed off to Europe. I was going to live in Spain for 2 months on a BYU study abroad. Dan was going to tour around with a friend. We emailed back and forth while we were both having our European experience. I printed off all those emails after we'd been married and still have them. Marathons, late-night 7/11 runs. It was wonderful. I've always been amazed that we knew each other for such a relatively short time before we tied the knot. I can h...

MUMADAY: November 2012

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Stop It. Just stop. Because here's the big secret: the poor little kids who's mother's make them live like that are miserable. I guarantee it. As a (sort of) young mom I totally get it though. There is all this pressure to make everything perfect looking when it comes to our children and their lives. This is why places like Baby Gap exist; they sell a lifestyle, not clothes. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. A Few of my Thankful Things. I am thankful for health. Recently a fri...

MUMADAY: December 2012

http://mumaday.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Merry Christmas to All. Driving around and looking at Christmas lights. This was much less stressful. The kids were strapped in, we sang songs, and despite a few car-seat meltdowns we had a great time. So much so, in fact, that we went out to look at lights a lot.like maybe 5 or 6 times? A spontaneous poetry read-off after the kids went to sleep. We all picked our favorites and either recited them from memory or looked them up and read them. Mine was "Annabel Lee" by P...All i...
