Romance on campus

Jeremiah and I have been married for almost 4 years. Our anniversary is October 1st and this is how we met. Brigham Young University-Idaho is often referred to as BYU-I do and for a good reason. Jeremiah and I briefly met at the Latin Association in June 2010 but it was a game that brought us to meet again. That day at the Latin association we played a game called the "murder spoon game". We each had a spoon with our name on it and we put it in a hat and the hat went around and we each picked a spoon with someones name on it. Our job was to take that spoon home and during the week find the person who's name was on the spoon and steal the spoon the other person had and who ever had the most spoons by the next meeting was suppose to win the game. I honestly forgot about the game and just kinda shoved the spoon I got in my backpack. A few days after the meeting. Jeremiah came knocking on my door. When I saw him at the door I thought he was looking for one of my room mates but he was actually looking for me. In fact, he had found my address at the school directory. Kinda creepy at first but super sweet now that I look back:) We chatted for a while outside my door and at the end of the chat he asked me out on a date. He didn't even mention that he was there because of the spoon. After that day, things moved very quickly between the two of us. It took only a few weeks for us to fall in love and only a couple months for him to propose and we were married on October 1st 2010.

Kindness is the answer

            I read an article today about a study that was done by various social scientists at the University of Washington. The article states that SCIENCE has found that   lasting   marital relationships come down to   kindness   and   generosity .   The article caught my attention because of the simplicity of the behavior of being kind. I was expecting perhaps an article about how it is essential to have good chemistry, compatibility, shared interests... Things that I have heard from those around me that are apparently key for a successful marriage… Kindness though? I mean this is just a basic behavior that I try to teach my toddlers. My question at first was, how is kindness supposed to be an answer to a successful marriage? That's when I continued to read...  The article starts out by repeating the well-known distressing statistic of how the majority of marriages fail, with only 3 in 10 surviving. Statisti...

My quiet books

Does anyone else have trouble keeping their kids quiet and settled down during lets say church or doctors appointments? Well as a mother of 4 boys between the ages of 5 and 1 🙋 I most definitely do. I mean, I  love my children and all, but honestly sometimes it is just too hard!! I have been sitting in the foyer at church for the past 4 years.... Anyways, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I started researching "quiet books" and saw some super cute examples on Pinterest and that's where I got my inspiration. Due to the limited time I have to actually sit down and make even just 1, I started looking up already made quiet books online and found some great ones on Etsy. Unfortunately their prices were a huge turn off as most where priced for over $10 a page or over $100 for 1 book for just a few activities. That is when I decided to make my own "quiet books" and I came up with Feltsy. Feltsy is basically a line of quiet books made out of felt - design...
