Well. Here she is a new banner, with a new footer and new links inside the banner.Did you notice all those links? In one spot? It\'s so organized.It was inspired by my life here at Retro House.My thanks to the overly-talented Jed Wells--as ever--for the banner and footer.And to MD for all the technical work. (Sorry for the headache.)And to Mego, my late night layout part (whisper) I love you (end whisper).And to Ashlee for the seven gallons of hairspray that went into my coiffure.I know you are itching to play with all of those links in my banner--go ahead.Or even to scroll down and see the foo

Nice Just Doesn\'t Cut It13 days ago

An email arrived in my inbox from Jodi. For a school project her son is collecting responses to the question, "What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?"The nicest thing?First, my mother conceived me, gestated me, bore me and then raised me. And my dad--you know--did his part.Second, my husband married me. That took a lot of courage for at least twenty reasons.Third, my son lets me change his pants even when he adamantly does not want me to change his pants which is most of the time I try to change his pants.I\'d say those three to start with, but perhaps this isn\'t the response Jo

Last week my mother and I headed up to south Salt Lake to do an interview with the magazine Wasatch Woman. Although my mother and I are technically Wasatch women ourselves, this interview was on behalf of my sister Stephanie who is being honored with a Perseverance Honoree at the Wasatch Woman of the Year Awards 2010. The magazine wanted to interview Stephanie herself for the awards ceremony, but seeing how she is a little busy right now (expanding her upper back) they asked us to come instead.I told my mom she could probably handle it on her own. I mean, I\'ve been interviewed so many times th

Dear Sister,I am so happy you are out of the hospital. I bet you are too.I am writing you this letter because I . . . we . . . me and The Chief, mostly, miss you and the little people. We miss Ollie mornings and Gig wrestles. We miss Claire and Jane\'s sliding of the sidedoor, sneaking in for an after-school snack on the way home. We miss your texts:Are the girls there? SEND THEM HOME!We miss seeing you slouched on the couch at Umi\'s, relaxed and ready for a visit. We miss pink and white bikes parked in our driveway. We miss small eruptions of little girl\'s drama echoing throughout our house. A

This is my nephew Jay. Or Jamison.A week or so ago, Jay emailed the family asking for donations on behalf of his baseball team. Except, this letter he sent was very well-written. It included all sorts of incentives and explanations and business appeal.Now listen. This Jay, he\'s rightly advanced. Socially. He is a pre-teen who thinks like a savvy twenty-one-year old, far too competitive and talented at sports for his own good and down right charming. I am entirely convinced God gave him a round freckled-face so he\'d at least look his age. All this to say, I wouldn\'t put it past him to write a

My neighbor Emily has a rule about blogging. It is something like, "one should never blog about blogging" and ever since I read that rule I have concurred. Sometimes I break the rule, but most of the time I intend to keep it.Today I am going to blog about blogging.Because you see, yesterday I had this horrible comment show up in my comments section. It was really sick and if you saw it I am sorry. If you didn\'t see it I am glad for you--you\'ve kept some of the innocence you were born with. I deleted it, because no one should have to read hate. And besides, as already stated, I am not keeping s

Sitting in Sunday School last week I was pleased when our discussion highlighted some of the non-traditional practices of other families. (One woman shared with us how her father opened up family prayers to whoever in the family wanted to say something to God--rather then just one collective prayer.) I love a good unorthodox method. A different way of looking at things. Refreshing departures from the non-traditional.And when I think about it long enough, every person, family or institution has their own unique lifestyle.Want to tell me yours?Come over to my discussion Traditionally Non-Traditi

Yes this is a post about my son who was a very naughty little boy today. It involves diarrhea, a camera crew and what I thought was the spirit of Satan. Read if you must.At first he woke up before the sun\'s alarm clock ever thought about ringing.I tried to coax him to cuddle in bed with me--at least until there was sunshine on our side of the planet--but he dragged me out of bed with a firm grip on my index finger. He wanted a drink. I obliged by giving him some orange juice.Wait.I gave him orange juice! I thought after it was too late. On an empty stomach!Born with the Kendrick Curse, my son\'
