Painting the kitchen got us in a painting mood. I was inspired by a blog post at Show and Tell to convert our boring sheet mirror in the bathroom into something a little more classy by adding molding as a frame. We had some mis-steps along the way, but eventually it turned out great. Well, […]

Yesterday was my birthday! I am the president of the Primary at my church, which is our children’s Sunday School. They sang a birthday song for me, which I loved! The chorister told them I was 18. The adults laughed, but one astute boy said “I thought you had to be older than that to […]
