once upon a time...

Fourteen years ago my hubby Mark and I were sealed in the LDS Salt Lake Temple.  It was a chilly and rainy day... but they say rain is good luck at weddings. 

Fourteen years, four kids, six homes, and who knows how many cars later... I still love this guy.  I'll be totally honest and say it has not been an easy road.  Grown up challenges are hard.  But I love this guy, and I am thankful he sticks by me through the good and the bad.

Black Friday...Kids Style!

Today my little future entrepreneurs set up shop outside to make a few extra bucks.  They made all sorts of "super useful" crafts, and set out there wares.  I'm so glad I have kind neighbors.  The kids had a ball!

Boys Room Insiration

Well, my baby is not a baby anymore.  Bummer.  But he sure is a handsome little guy.

It's time for this kid to get a "big boy" room... and I'm looking for a little inspiration.  I'm hoping I don't just end up with a Lightning McQueen comforter.

Here are a few ideas that I'm head over heels over:

So... what do you think?  Do you like where I'm headed?  Anything you've seen that I must lay my eyes on before I get started??



Small Business Tip of the Week

                                          

This is one of my favorite tools I’ve used over the years to book those clients who drive us all crazy. The one who cannot make up her mind to save her life. 

While she’s in this “maybe” state, you don’t want to seem uncaring, so you follow up, and you follow up again, “can I answer any additional questions for you?”… “what can I help you with in this decision-making process?” … basically you’re thinking, “what in the heck do I have to do to get you to sign on the dotted line!!!”

And so you end up feeling like a stalker. And the client always disappears. 
This is why I love this simple email tool. It scoops up those customers who would have disappeared! 

My little boy. There are no words...

Logan has this thing about stealing my iphone.  He is an expert Temple Run player (he calls it Monkey Fast), and he LOVES to photograph himself.  I have probably 50 of these on my phone right now.  STINKER.

Thank you for the wise words...
