This Video Brings Me Joy

I never get tired of watching this video.



I know it's been around a while, but I thought it was worthy of putting it in the forefront of my blogging world today. Enjoy.


Thing I'm thankful for: a healthy, happy family. They mean the world to me.

Modesty is the Best Policy

Okay, maybe the saying is that honesty is the best policy, but in my book, modesty is, too. Apparently, it's catching on. Modest clothing retailers in Utah and other western states are not only surviving -- but thriving -- in this economic recession. Read more in Modesty Makes a Comeback.

Also, check out my favorite modest clothing companies (too bad they don't have shops on the East Coast):

• DownEast Basics
• Shade Clothing
• Shabby Apple

Happy modest shopping!

Thing I'm thankful for: sorting cards at my parents' house. It's fun!

Time Travel to 1989

We're organizing mom's greeting cards in the gray bins, listening to oldies music, and Lexi's wearing her Oklahoma t-shirt. And we're all periodically yelling and snapping at each other. I feel like I'm 8-years-old again. It's an odd feeling . . .


Thing I'm thankful for: having a job in the midst of layoffs. I'm one lucky girl.
