The cosmos and a tiny person

It's amazing to me how babies grow.

Kid Spacing

The spacing between kids is something I think about a lot and I wanted my thoughts recorded here.

So grateful

It's a divine way to learn gratitude when you experience the loss of something. After this pregnancy, I find I am so grateful for the things I can once again do that I couldn't do while I was pregnant.

Like coming home

There's so much peace and clarity that comes with General Conference. It feels like coming home. People speak softly and with tenderness. They talk about the best in people, and the hope available in Jesus Christ. Problems I have in parenting sometimes seem insurmountable when I look at them through the answers available from worldly sources. But during conference, I receive sudden insights while people are talking, providing solutions to my problems, or hear things that will help me with the different trials I am facing. Somehow, after conference it feels like everything is going to be ok. It feels like love there. It feels like coming home.

Baby Gretchen is here!
