Evey: Mom, your feet are bleeding! Me: No Evey, I let you paint my toenails. Remember? Evey: Oh, yeah, yeah. They look really great Mom. Me: Thank you Evey. Evey: Yup.

Change all of the regular lightbulbs in the house to energy saving bulbs. So I went to Ikea and Target and stocked up and a whole crap load of bulbs. Here is a small sampling of what I pulled out: The think about changing all of the bulbs in your [...]

Fact #1: Dallan does not like air fresheners. In fact he despises them. My Scentsy pot wax has not been melted. My Wallflower remains unplugged. Any type of scented aerosol is not allowed past the front door. How could anyone not love Magic Tree in their car in lovely yellow [...]

I had an epiphany on New Years Eve. Which is: I hate New Years Eve. Having young children at home and staying up way late just do not jive. If I could sit in front of the television and watch something really spectacular, believe me I would find it worth [...]

When I was young the best paying and hardest working jobs were working for my dad. He claimed to pay minimum wage but since his wallet only consisted of twenties a twelve dollar job always got rounded up. And at the end of a work day grape Shasta was always [...]

Happy New Year! I have not posted a video in what seems like forever. I am so tired of YouTube and their crazy new policies. They deleted most of the music off of all my previously posted video’s so I found something new. It’s called vimeo and the quality is [...]

Have you had your fair share of Christmas movies? Elf- Oh I could watch it a million times. Santa! I know him, I know him! It’s a wonderful life- Not my favorite folks. I know some of you love it but I honestly cannot sit through this movie. A Christmas [...]

The nativity’s are coming down today. Not because the holiday season is coming to an end, but because of acute necessity. I have grown tired of people coming over and exclaiming, Oh dear, your baby Jesus is missing! I am far too fatigued to continue to hide the fact the [...]

My children do not have the privelidge of owning a gaming system. No Xbox 360, no wii. No nintendo DS’s to curl their little uncoordinated fingers around. They don’t have one for the same reason you wouldn’t install a slot machine in the home of your frenzied, Hawaiian shirt wearing, [...]

I have a little secret. I have an in with the big guy. This year I convinced him to visit thirty plus handicapped children at Matthew’s school on Tuesday. It was… well, chaotic. But totally awesome too. One of those emotionally overwhelming at how wonderful and beautiful and amazing these [...]

The Wright opinion of St. Nick, one child at a time: THIS. GUY. IS. AWESOME. I love Santa! You know, in a he’s pretty cool for little kids kind of way. I don’t want to sit on his lap. Will he still bring me presents? I really don’t want to [...]

Alright we need to talk. My super savy tech friend was on TV and talked about how you should only leave comments on a persons blog if you have something important to say. This makes sense to me because everything I say is important. Which is where you come in. [...]

My neighbors directly across the street are moving. We had waited five years to have someone live across the street that meets the following criteria: 1. Speaks English 2. Falls under the category “Single Family Home” 3. Has children that are the nice type of nice children, the same ages [...]

Very, very busy here. Like insane Christmas rush busy. Getting calls from my good friend Michelle saying, “Can you watch our kids tonight, your husband is making us come in and meet with him at church.” And then hearing her laugh hysterically because she is kidding but knows this actually [...]

So I had this really great idea of posting pictures of the studio as we build and work and prepare. That didn’t happen. Instead we put all efforts and spare time into just working and to be honest I am so so very tired and worn out. Here’s the oh [...]

I downloaded all the video and pictures from our Power Shot. Apparently I have been neglecting this camera as we had over 300 images from the past four months living somewhere inside. I don’t feel so bad since about 250 were taken by this child: The majority of which are [...]

I am so thankful for my family and the opportunity to spend time with them this holiday! Oh, and I am thankful Dallan and the kids no longer have the worst flu ever. And that my family doesn’t hate me for spreading it all to them. And making them violently [...]

Taylor won Reflections again. We are so proud! She has also finished reading all fifteen books she received for her birthday. Twice. Matthew can sing every song from Glee word for word. He also steals my phone to play video games so chances are he will answer if you call. [...]

New Moon party! Thanks for a fabulous night ladies!

Picture me, arms wide, shouting with much gusto and delight… We are building a studio!!! Did you hear me? A studio. Oh, how I am loosing sleep with anticipation. Our third car garage will soon by my very own space to play and take lovely pictures and oh I am [...]
