Road trip

We got back Sunday from 9 days in Utah and Idaho. I actually took some pictures.

oohhh snake! You have spring and winter scenes all in the same trip to the same location. Crazy. Your self portrait is cute. You have very nice skin, especially from that close. I wish I was 31 again. Wait, mine never looked that good.

I like your hair cut Em. Am I totally out of the loop. I think it was longer this Christmas when I saw you.

You guys are funny. My skin was completely gross on this trip. Travel always does funny things to my skin. Thanks, though. I'll take the compliment! Also, my hair is not really chin length, just the front layers. The rest is pulled back. But thank you, again.

Pepper, are you coming through Phoenix? I must know.

Nancy, your mom was looking at the ground, checking out the snakes, I think.

Thanks, Eliza. Actually, my cute sister-in-law made it. She has a website that is not quite operational yet, but it's zumodern.com. She is very talented!

So you said that Pam was making that face because she was looking at the snakes.....plural. What's the deal with the snakes. You can't show a picture like that and not comment on it. Why were there snakes and why were you all so close to them...run away, run away.
PS- I've updated the website a little. Still no merchant account but you can buy them at dandelionbaby.com

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...

Two things

Image
First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
