| Introduction | The blog name is a quote from Raising Arizona. I have a kind, handsome husband and four sweet, rambunctious, punching, hugging, light-sabering boys. Calvin is 8 and ridiculously smart; Milo Asher is 6, and amazingly clever; Elias is 3 and is funny and delicious. Dashiell is 1 and an incredibly wonderful 4th (and final) child - fun, physical, and goes with the flow. All my men, little and big, are the loves of my life. While I do get caught up in everyday annoyances - the noise, the mess, the "I won't eat thats", I also savor this time of my life when my kids are home with me, I'm the most important person in their lives, and I can scoop them up and kiss them any time I want. We've lived in Utah, Iowa, and now the Carolinas. We've been through a lot and will go through so much more. Life is hard. But life is good. |
| Interests | My family, music (listening and making), being a good friend and sister, blogging for the sake of memory-keeping, watching the best shows and movies (as in, good story-telling and writing, good content); photographing my kids, but NOT scrapbooking in any traditional sense. |
| Favorite Movies | Mary Poppins, Shadowlands, Anne of Green Gables, Silas Marner, Raising Arizona, Children of Heaven, Hudsucker Proxy, Joe vs the Volcano, Home For the Holidays, Corrina Corrina, those lame world-ending movies, and too many silly Doris Day movies. |
| Favorite Music | James Taylor, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Sting, Indigo Girls, Paul Simon, Shawn Colvin, Nat King Cole, The Weepies, Mary Chapin Carpenter, John Denver, Lyle Lovett, Avett Bros, Stevie Wonder |
| Favorite Books | Jane Eyre, Ender's Game, Speaker For the Dead, Alvin Maker Series (most any Orson Scott Card book), Walk Two Moons, The Giver, Dandelion Wine, Crossing to Safety |
