My Savage Life: May 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 20, 2014. My sweet Mia Mae is growing up so fast! Two days before she turned 7 months old, we finally got her in for her 6-month check up. She is tiny for her age- she weighed just under 14 pounds (5%) and 26.5 inches tall (57%). I love that she's so little! Mia is sitting like a champ! Now she just needs to learn how to get from laying down to sitting up. When I feed her she usually says "MMMM! The whole time she eats (totally What About Bob? Style) I love it! She is such a friendly girl!

My Savage Life: October 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Family History: I Am Doing It {here's why! It's late and I should be sleeping, but I can't stop thinking that I really need to share my experience with Family History. You know how sometimes you know you should be doing something but you still just don't do it for some reason? I went home thrilled with what I had learned and immediately got to work. Less than 24 hours later, DJ and I had performed proxy baptisms and confirmations for 6 members of my family! Next, the idea that ...

My Savage Life: June 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 26, 2014. Okay, okay. So I haven't blogged in forever and suddenly it's like a flood of new posts. Such is life. When I was organizing my storage room, I came across these wall hangings I made about 4 years ago:. They hung in the entry way of my basement apartment once upon a time:. It was time for an update. I raided my stash of fabric this morning, and made the switch:. I decided to hang them above my table in my dining room, and I love them there! And so, here's my wall before:. We have...

My Savage Life: July 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 21, 2014. After painting stripes in my bathroom today, I was kind of on a roll. I decided to try something completely. Different in my craft room! I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but I figured, hey! It's a craft room. It doesn't hurt to try something crazy in the room where I'm most creative, right? Here's the room, pre-paint. Very beige and very blah. So, I started putting up painter's tape, pretty much randomly. I just wanted it to be geometric. And I kept going. Before we moved into our ho...

My Savage Life: December 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 3, 2014. My Lexsi is amazing. She's just about the funniest person on the planet, and always keeps me on my toes! I haven't blogged about her for a while, so I have about a million pictures to post! I found her in the basement reading books in her fairy wings. Totally just a typical day with her! Playing at the park in Lovell:. She helped me make pizza at Mammie and Papi's house, and she is seriously a great helper! Visiting the fire hall in Lovell:. She's a carbon copy of her dad!

My Savage Life: Projects

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2015/06/projects.html

Sunday, June 28, 2015. If you know me at all, you know I love projects. One of the reasons I was excited about the house we bought a little over a year ago was because I saw the potential it had. It takes time to get things done the way you like them, but it's definitely worth it in the end! In the past couple months we've gotten some projects done around here (some big, some small), and it's been pretty awesome! I bought some painter's tape, taped off a design, and painted it with paint I had on hand!

My Savage Life: November 2014

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 9, 2014. For Courage to Accept Thy Will. Today in Sacrament meeting, we sang Hymn 169, "As Now We Take the Sacrament." This is a song I sing almost daily as a lullaby when I rock Mia. Today as I sang, though, one line really stood out to me:. Silently we pray for courage to accept thy will, to listen and obey.". I went to my old English ward this morning, because my friend's sweet baby was getting blessed in Sacrament meeting. I love that ward! We may not understand why things happen rig...

My Savage Life: January 2015

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 25, 2015. Last Monday, I went to the doctor for my 14-week appointment. My doctor is SUPER awesome, and I get to have an ultrasound at every single appointment. It's the best! DJ had the day off (MLK Day), so he was with me at this appointment. When the doctor asked if we wanted to know the gender of this tiny baby we were both surprised but of course we jumped at the chance! He checked for us, and told us he's 80% sure it's a girl! Apparently we are the best. That's a lot of pink! I was ...

My Savage Life: Pyper Rose

http://livingthesavagelife.blogspot.com/2015/08/pyper-rose.html

Sunday, August 2, 2015. The Brigham City hospital is SO SMALL! I had never been in it before, and it was kind of hilarious how small it really is. We got checked in super fast, I changed into my hospital gown and settled in bed to wait for an hour or so before the surgery was actually scheduled. I did my best to focus on the book I was reading as I anxiously waited for the time to pass! So I was shaking a tiny bit when they did the spinal tap. The anesthesiologist was so so awesome! I expected Lexsi to b...
