My firstborn son, Josh, received his drivers’ permit earlier this year. So here we were, in a parking lot. I asked my younger son to buckle up as his big brother was about to take over the wheel. When I turned around, this is what I saw. (See picture above). I couldn’t help but laugh.
One of my favorite things to do while I was pregnant with my first child was settle in and read about how she was developing inside me. The book would describe my baby week by week, and would even use tangible, descriptive words to give me a better idea of how big she was: Week 12:
Since I was young, I have strongly disliked public restrooms (especially on road trips). I’m no diva….I just prefer clean bathrooms (and I have a very strong gag reflex). So, on such family trips, we had a routine. I would have my sister go in first, assess

Sometime around the first or second grade, my teeth took on a mind of it’s own. Let’s just say, a significant gap began to form in the center of my smile. (The gap was only in its beginner stage in the picture above) My dads advice, “Molé (daughter), in your free time..try and close that

“I sat in the first row of my first seminary class and I didn’t understand a thing.” My Dad was reminiscing over those early days when he had just moved here. As an excellent student
