Let's Get It Started

 Seriously, a blog? I feel I'm betraying an oath of womanhood that doesn't own a smart phone, home school or take pictures of beautifully decorated tables with perfectly cooked meals. But I felt the same way about layering shirts. I thought; "how could you wear something that looks like your underwear isn't tucked in?!" Now, I wear them too. They've grown on me, I see their purpose and I lived in Provo, UT, and "when in Rome... ". I no longer live in Provo, but feel the strong desire to blog. In fact, I woke up at 4:00am this morning thinking of all of the "clever" things I could post. But now it's 9:12am and I haven't had much sleep- so, this is what you get.

A Blog needs a catchy title. My daughter Natalie, creates raps. She made up a rap that ended with "home slice". I wasn't exactly sure of the meaning, but it sounded cool. I looked it up this morning.


Natalie- Homeslice!

Perfect for a blog title and multiple suggested meanings. Home Slice was not an available blog title. I added a couple of "I"s to make it work. I hope it doesn't lend itself to the confusion that already exists among "catchy" blog titles.

This past week, we took our summer "vacation". We loaded up the 151,000+ odometer reading van, rented a Thule for all our gear and went camping at Lake Tahoe.

Coolest kids on earth!
