Trying To Be Clever...: February 2015
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Friday is pizza night at our house. I've been making the sauce and crust from scratch this year. They are both delectable. Or so I thought. Peter: Mom, can we please have frozen pizza tonight? Peter: Well, no offense Mom, but I like frozen pizza better than the homemade stuff you make. He also fessed up to preferring the mac and cheese from the box above the homemade kind I like to serve. Apparently mine is too cheesy. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Can You Hear Me Now? Will it g...

Trying To Be Clever...: December 2014
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. A Year of Outtakes. I upload all of my pictures to Google . The folks at Google (or their robot servants) put together a little movie of my photos. The thing is, most of the snapshots they picked are outtakes, not-quite-perfect variations of better pictures. I guess that's fitting since none of us are perfect. So here are some of the pictures that didn't quite make it onto the blog before. Consider it our blooper reel. So long 2014, hello 2015. Tuesday, December 30, 2014.

Trying To Be Clever...: August 2015
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. We are continuing to make progress on our war against stuff. On Saturday the kids and I folded several loads of laundry. Then, instead of sending them with their own apparel to put away, I sat down with each child and went through every item in their basket and drawers. Between hand-me-downs, new school clothes, and the fact that most of his shirts still fit from last year, we discovered that Cooper had twenty short-sleeved shirts in his drawer. Twenty!

Friday, May 29, 2015. The Joy of an Ice Cream Cone. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Search, Ponder, and Pray. Tonight was the much-anticipated Relief Society meeting. The first woman, who has a Master's degree in exercise science and writes for the Huffington Post on health and fitness, spoke about physical health. The second woman, a clinical psychologist who teaches at Rutger's and writes textbooks, spoke about mental and emotional health. And then there was me. And you know what? Spiritual food is necessary f...

Friday, July 31, 2015. So long New Jersey. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Need a new warm-up for your daily workout routine? Cooper offered to share his pre-scooter-riding routine. It involves lots of finger stretching. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Sometimes Cooper's a Photographer. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Monday, July 27, 2015. We woke up this morning to the packers arriving a day early. One Whole. Day. Early. They agreed to come back tomorrow, when we were originally expecting them. Friday, July 24, 2015. The p...

Trying To Be Clever...: The Temple in the Circle City
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-temple-in-circle-city.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. The Temple in the Circle City. We are in Illinois! We rolled out of New Jersey on Friday and spent that night on the border of West Virginia (which I'd never been in before! And Ohio. The next day, after washing and folding our laundry, we drove to the Indianapolis Temple Open House. The Temple is beautiful. I especially loved the original artwork throughout. The whole tour was over too fast. We asked the kids what their favorite part of the Temple was. Phoebe love...All In One Day.

Trying To Be Clever...: March 2015
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. April Fool's Day came early this afternoon when big fat snowflakes started falling from the sky. Peter found a way to beat the cold and he asked me to make a movie of him explaining his coping mechanism. That was all Peter; the only direction I gave him was to tell him to make his bed before I started filming. He also made a colorful umbrella to keep the imaginary sun from burning his pale skin. It fell down right before we made the movie, so it didn't make it on screen. I made a...

Trying To Be Clever...: January 2015
http://trulyclever.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Once upon a time I was in The Best Book Club Ever. That wasn't its official title, but it might as well have been. We would talk for hours. About the books we had read. We would share our insights and our questions. We developed wonderful friendships. We've now had several meetings of our miniature book club. Last night we talked about To Kill a Mockingbird. I've been saying for years that it was one of my favorite books and I was relieved to find that, in the eighteen y...My ne...
