Ivy

T. likes to say that Henry is my “golden boy”, and of course, a mama always has a special place in her heart for her first-born son. But Ivy and I, even though she’s only 2 1/2, have more history. I’m not sure why I wanted to write about this, […]

The Zoo!

We took a “spring” “warm weather” trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo this past weekend, and it was cold (about 30 degrees) but lots of fun. It only takes about three hours to get to Omaha; we left on Saturday morning and went straight to the zoo. My parents and […]

For Wendell; Nostalgia

The world lost a dear man today. Great-grampa Fuji to the kids, Grampa Fuji, Wendell. He loved his grandkids and great-grandkids, and appreciated getting pictures of them all. He will be missed.Looking through the pictures for this one of Wendell made me nostalgic, so I can’t help but put in […]

20 Things (Mostly) About Me

I got the idea to list some random things from T.’s cousin’s amazing blog (sorry, I don’t know yet how to insert a link, but it’s http://itsadarngoodlife.blogspot.com) and also those “25 things about me” lists on facebook, which Us Weekly still does with celebrities (see #1). So, I thought it […]

Who Will It Be?

I’m excited! I have scheduled my first “mystery hostess” show for a couple of weeks from now. It’s going to be so much fun!! Normal shows are fun, but this will be extra exciting, because we won’t know who’s going to get all of the free jewelry until the very […]

sleep is precious

Last night was a long night. T. left Wednesday morning for training, and didn’t get back until this afternoon. The kids and I did fine, of course….we survived. But last night was the night before T. got back, and no matter how long he’s away, the last night with him […]

the jewelry lady’s spawn

Henry has fully accepted my new job. I think it helped that he went with me to my SIL’s show last month. Now, if he’s awake when I’m getting ready to leave for a show, he asked if he can come but doesn’t get upset when I tell him “no”. […]

Another training tonight, and I’m pretty excited about it. Not the driving part, because this one is kind of far away, but I’m excited to go and see the other jewelry ladies and learn something. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been a little discouraged lately. There are certain things […]

Adventures

I learned what not to do today. I have a show tonight at my sister-in-law’s house (all of my SILs are awesome to be among the first to host shows for me!!) and I spent a good part of the morning getting everything organized and ready. While I was doing […]

thank you

Henry’s bedtime prayer tonight:”Dear Jesus, thank you for our family, and thank you for our toys, and thank you for the lady, and thank you for the pirate ships, and thank you for our friends. Amen.”
