This is what I was doing all day on Saturday. The cake was for baby Lily's blessing which took place on Sunday. I love baby blessings. It is such a powerfully spiritual experience to witness a baby being blessed by their Father. Picture the strong, loving arms of a Father holding a tiny new life within a circle of priesthood and friendship sharing tender prayers and hopes for the life of that child. It is a beautiful thing.
I am a busy Mormon mother with three children from my first marriage and four bonus children in New York. I am a child of God. I am blessed with three wonderful extended families and many amazingly talented friends. I work full-time in a dental office and we live in a little 1940's rental just five blocks from the public library.
I adore Oregon.
I am happy. I am busy. I am loved.

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishing." -Anais Nin
