May: Spend More Time Outside

April 30, 2014 by Trisha

I think the whole spring-turning-to-summer time may just be “the most wonderful time of the year” for me. I love the clean air and sunny skies and green grass. I think all meals taste better eaten outside and I think the smell of a campfire or BBQ is divine. And even better – I LOVE…

Halftime Games for Family & Friends

March 18, 2014 by Trisha

I loved basketball growing up. Well, I still do. I played on several rec teams and never missed one of my sibling’s games. So one day when I was about 11 I decided to go out and shoot some hoops before basketball practice that night. It had been a while, and I soon discovered I…

They also had fewer interfering thoughts and were able to focus more on what they were learning. When I…

Healthy Resolutions for 2014

December 30, 2013 by Trisha

I love a new year. I love the unwritten permission it gives everyone to do a little better and try a little harder. I love writing goals (thanks to years of family home evenings doing so) and I love tracking my progress. What I don’t love? The pressure that comes from attempting an overwhelming task…

Giving Back on Thanksgiving

November 9, 2013 by Trisha

It was exactly 8 years ago this month that my mom, sister and I set out to give back on Thanksgiving day. You wouldn’t find us at a soup kitchen or delivering turkey dinners (although those are both wonderful ideas). Instead you found as at the start line of a 5k – the Utah Human Race…
