I love the ability that we have to communicate and inform ourselves ad nauseum. But today, I long for a day of thoughtful and careful prose. A day where people hesitate before they immortalize themselves and question anything written with didactic intentions. I long for a day when people valued seeing things from different perspectives,Continue reading “Perspectives”

Today has been a most productive day. Not very interesting… but very productive. I’m wearing my sneakers in preparation for productivity. First, I vacuumed the office and wiped everything down. Boom! Nothing like vacuuming to immediately feel productive! I washed the windows, bleached all the surfaces, and gassed the elevator with Lysol… right before aContinue reading “Gratitude Posts About Productivity Are Boring For Anyone But the Writer”

65! Today is my dear dad’s birthday! Brent Francom married my mom over 20 years ago and has supported me through high school, college, a mission, more college, and all sorts of fun life crises. When they first got married, he owned the local Napa Auto Parts store in Tremonton. As kids we would allContinue reading “65”

Blogging about love is tricky. This is public. My mother reads this on occasion. I am super aware of what I post and that this is going across the great vast interwebs.

Today I’m grateful for protection when cutting a lock. And especially for my dear, thoughtful, thought provoking friend a Nancy.

Last night, we rolled out the red carpet for the arrival of the newest members of the Midvale Main Street Theatre Family! The puppets are here!! We poured champagne and orange soda and toasted the new arrivals. Pictures do not do these puppets justice. I can’t begin to tell you how delightful these puppets are.Continue reading “Puppets!”

Divorce is hard. It is lonely, stressful, and you feel like no one in the world will understand you. When my parents divorced, my mom had one friend who understood. They were both young junior high teachers with young kids and they were both looking at life through the lens of divorce. This was almostContinue reading “Linda”

Once upon a time… I lived in this little blue condo.  Matthew wasn’t born in this house. He was born in the white house in Salina.  But I don’t have a picture of the white house in Salina.  We LIVED in this house. It’s not completely random. This is the house where Matthew tried toContinue reading “Matthew”

Today I spent the day with my mother and the evening with my mother’s mother. They’re both pretty stellar women. I took this picture of my mom watering her flowers on the front porch. There’s nothing like springtime in Utah. My brother Nick and I had a great visit with our grandma tonight and after,Continue reading “The Beauties of Mother’s Day”
