The Time I Got To Meet Lois Lowry!!!
How much more do I need to say? I mean, LOIS FREAKING LOWRY! If you didn’t grow up reading Number the Stars or The Giver, I am so sorry for your deprived childhood. There’s still hope for you, don’t worry. *wink* I actually enjoy these books even more as an adult! When I heard that our keynote speaker at the Storymakers Conference in 2022 would be Lois Lowry, I just about lost it! She has been a hero of mine since childhood, and listening to her speak, I was NOT disappointed. She made me cry. Seriously. TWICE. (The person next to me, whom I had just met, even started patting my back, probably thinking I was…

Star Wars Day is an obvious favorite around here. But you know what we love more? Revenge of the Fith! It’s a holiday full of fun and sarcasm, where the jokes are a bit more on the Dark Side!

The Ethics of Mentorship in The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter
First, I’m excited to announce that I literally just finished my first semester back in school in almost 10 years, and my first IN PERSON class since high school! WAAAAAAHOOOOO! Wow. That was a hard semester, but so amazing. Especially my Philosophy 2050 (Ethics and Values) class, which I 1 million percent did NOT expect. I’m so happy they made this a required course at UVU. It was lifechanging! We learned more about viewing issues from multiple perspectives, what shapes our own morals and ethical values, about different religions and cultures, and so much more. For our final, we were assigned to write a paper on any topic we wanted,…

These Geeky Yard Sale Signs Will Make You Want to Stop and Shop
I love going to yard sales but putting one on is very daunting—so much to do! With cleaning out the house (my in-laws lived here for 30 years and there is a ton of stuff that’s accumulated), moving plans, packing, and getting the house ready to sell, we already have a lot on our plate—not to mention depression and anxiety messing with my head.

Looking for inspiration, Google did not disappoint. I found some yard sale sign…
