We had plans to head to St. George to be with my parents and extended family (and officially meet the newest member of the Suite Clan -- Celeste's new baby boy Celtin. But like most plans for 2020 -- from cancelled trips to D.C., Vegas, San Francisco and beyond -- things change during a pandemic. And yet, amidst the chaos, hurt, heartache and trials of this past year, I find myself with so much to be grateful for. Likewise, I have been so buoyed up by the #givethanks movement flooding social media channels via (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints President Nelson's) challenge. </p><p>So while I have not participated specifically in the daily posting, let me add to the movement of gratitude with the following family uodate (in the manner of gratitude and thanksgiving,) and because it's going to take more more than one sitting -- so depending on when you start reading this, you may need to check back for updates to complete the whole log. </p><div>So let's begin: I'm thankful for my Family. </div><div><br /></div><div>And that starts with my #1, Daniel G. Mangum (or <i>cher danny</i> as I like to say.) Danny has been a rockstar at work. He got a promotion at Mountain West Small Business Finance last winter and is now their Chief Operating Officer. I've watched him make tough decisions for the company -- and coordinate with a host of different personalities to make decisions that help protect the MWSBF employees and the company's longevity. He cares so deeply about his team and Mountain West's employees overall -- especially with all of the changes and added precautions needed for businesses to run safe in this "new normal" (and what does that phrase even mean these days?!?!) </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">He hasn't spent much time at his favorite Crossfit Box this past year -- but like a good portion of Americans, has managed to overhaul and update our *home gym. While the beginning of the pandemic found us keeping Uber Eats + Door Dash alive and well, thankfully Danny has also embraced his new hobby of cooking. He likes to do it, and is GOOD at it. Which is a plus on so many levels -- especially since we're currently in the "take three days to cook for Thursday's meal that will be consumed in 15 minutes." So I'm extra grateful he's taken on the bulk of meal planning and execution. It also helps that we recently went through a major home remodel -- so our kitchen is a bit of a joy to be in. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Danny is definitely the more fun and patient parent (gender stereotypes be damned!) He got our family into mountain biking this past year. And we also tried a bit of glamping and camping. Fun Fact: I am better at glamping than I am at camping. Even <i>more</i> Fun Fact: I am best at hotel-ing. He and Holden have made a goal to ski 15 times this season, and have already kicked off the year by hitting Brighton on Friday (Nov 19th). </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm glad I married my best friend. We're seeing a lot more of each other since he's primarily been working from our home office. I love that he's around so much more. He's funny and fun and has the greatest giggle in the world. And yes, I said giggle. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">More coming soon -- but my fingers need a break... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">*our basement family room now housing not only a treadmill, but friend's old elliptical and gently used rower. </div><br /><br /></div></div>Sabrena Suite-Mangumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13010923485482172196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156382750423764378.post-59382684349489181722020-05-10T10:29:00.000-06:002020-05-10T10:48:37.811-06:00Mother's Day Memory<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I don’t know my actual earliest memory of my Mom, but one that is imprinted in my brain is from naptime when we lived across the street from (what my kids now call) “The Red House.” The Red House is actually the house on Eastwood Drive that my mom grew up in, I also lived in my youth, AND where we were living when both Holden and Zoë were both born.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
But my memory is from the house kitty-corner to The Red House. In the upstairs bedroom, on what seemed like a GIANT bed, I remember nap-time: my mom reading to me (not sure what story), but cuddled up together in that bed and just hearing her voice, and feeling her body and not having a care in the world – except trying to decide if I wanted to escape sleep more than I wanted to cuddle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I imagine this image is the one I think about most often because it was imprinted multiple times over. I think back on that moment (or perhaps moments) frozen in time and now, as an adult can wonder: Where was Cassandra? Was Celeste with us, and I just didn’t realize it? How is it that I could feel like I was the only other human in the world at that moment. Just me and my mom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<o:p>I don’t remember my time as a newborn – but I do remember time with my newborns. The exhaustion and feeling that you’ll never be the same since you are responsible for another human’s well being. I think about my mom being in “that time” with me. To this day, she says does not remember “the hard parts.” But from my own experience, I can recall on them for her. But I also understand as children age, that work shifts into something even harder--in a different way.</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
There are so many other memories—the majority involve food. There’s a reason when I cook or bake something I’m proud of, the highest honor of achievement my children bestow are the words, “This is almost as good as Mama Suites.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
She's an incredible example of service. I firmly believe that the work of social justice is "Women's Work." (Obviously it should be Men's too...but that's a different blog post).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My mom is not one to paint a sign and march at a rally, but she's one to visit the sick and elderly and widowed -- to take in meals and go about her life doing the work of Jesus in realtime (and He was like the ORIGINAL Social Justice Warrior).<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I’m grateful for her example.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I'm grateful she gave me life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I'm so thankful for my mother. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Salt Lake City, UT – March 17, 2019 – While campaigning for student body office is nothing out of the ordinary this time of year, at Skyline High School one student is hoping her run for office sparks a new standard for her fellow eagles -- kindness. Tatum Suite Smith, a sophomore and member of Skyline’s tennis and golf team launched her “Campaign for Kindness” earlier this month with hopes of changing the narrative regarding depression and suicide at her school.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">“I feel like I need to be constantly giving everyone hugs,” Smith said. “I just want everyone to know they’re loved. With all the suicides happening at our school, in our neighborhood and throughout the state, I just felt like something had to be done. I wanted to make a difference.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Smith said the idea of running for office made her nervous, but she decided to put herself out there and use her platform to make sure all her classmates had a friend. The first order of business: making a goal to connect with as many members of Skylines’s student body as possible, regardless of if they were eligible to vote for her or not. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">“As far as I know, this particular type of outreach has never been part of an SBO [student body office] campaign,” she said, who has used a mix of personal phone calls and meet-and-greets before school to connect with the student-body. The meet-ups have include small tokens of appreciation including heart stickers, hot chocolate on cold mornings, popcorn and even dressing up in full “Glinda the Good Witch” regalia to emphasize the need to be kind. To kick-off the campaign she gave 20 friends a sheet of 10 heart-shaped stickers challenging them to find 10 people to connect with; and in one day more than 200 people had been invited to join the campaign for kindness –whether or not they were eligible to vote for Smith.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Smith says her hope that a message of love, inclusion and kindness would resonate with everyone-- inside and outside the walls of Skyline is already gaining traction. “We’ve had people from outside our school – kids and their parents – saying they’re joining and supporting the campaign!” and Smith couldn’t be more excited about it.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Cassandra Suite-Smith, the mother of Smith and former Skyline alumna says there’s been a visible change in her daughter since she made the decision to run. “Where going to school used to give her anxiety, she has a bigger purpose, Suite-Smith said. “She can feel it. She can see she’s already making a difference and that has changed here whole countenance and willingness to be at school. She’s never dragging her feet in the morning. She truly looks forward to meeting her fellow classmates and wants everyone to feel loved and welcomed. It’s inspiring. I’m so proud of her.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">“I just want everyone to know that they matter,” Smith said. “I want to be their friend, and let them know that we can change the narrative for ourselves and each other.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">“Running for office shouldn’t just be about who is the most popular, or who spends the most money,” said Smith. “It really should be about making a difference in the lives of those around you—and that’s what I want to do. This is so much bigger than I ever imagined. The best part is – it doesn’t matter if I win or lose, because the campaign is about way more than me. Kindness matters! I feel a little bit like lyrics from Hamilton: this is not a moment, it’s a movement!” </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eeHcUHPjVIw/XBkjejuEONI/AAAAAAAAEUo/V27jalAd5gkgDbkyQgd3BLQ5dudGHmQjQCLcBGAs/s1600/fullsizeoutput_53dd.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="1600" height="459" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eeHcUHPjVIw/XBkjejuEONI/AAAAAAAAEUo/V27jalAd5gkgDbkyQgd3BLQ5dudGHmQjQCLcBGAs/s640/fullsizeoutput_53dd.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When people ask if I’m ready for the holidays, my standard
answer is pretty much “I’m about two-to-three-weeks behind everything in my
life, right now.” I’m not quite sure what happened this past year, and it’s so
cliché to say so, but time is really speeding up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It blows my mind that in just a few months Holden will be a
decade. We tried something new for him school-wise to start fourth grade. I
joined the board of the Wasatch Family Foundation to get him admitted to
Wasatch Waldorf Charter School because their lottery is about a thousand people
long and my chances of winning the actual lottery seemed commensurate with
getting him in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kid doesn’t like change – I mean, who does? He had a teacher in 1st - 3rd at Elizabeth Academy Montessori that he was ready to repeat third grade for "There's still so much I could learn from Ms.Dawn!" So it was
kind of a rough start, and I was worried we had made a big mistake: but there’s
a lot of good that’s coming from it (and not just that he’s learning to cross
stitch.) He's made some great friends. Plus, as part of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkrgkslnD9g" target="_blank">Waldorf</a> curriculum he started playing the double bass:
it’s about twice his size. And his handwriting is coming along splendidly…so nice
in fact, that for Christmas I’m gifting all my family handwriting books to
build on his momentum. (Danny included). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Holden’s main passion is Magic the Gathering. Since we
figured he needed to be spending more time with kids his age, instead of 20-30
year olds at the game shop for tournaments, he has taken up the charge to
introduce and teach anyone willing to listen, to the game. I don’t really “get”
it – but I do get that it’s something social that brings people together and
how fun it is to share something you love and are passionate about with others.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He started singing lessons with local artist <a href="https://soundcloud.com/jeffreytothesmith" target="_blank">Jeff Smith</a> this
past year – and was elated to discover that along with music theory, he would
be practicing Queen and Led Zeppelin, amongst other musical geniuses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While he still skateboards socially (Zoë’s the one who got
really into Penny Boarding this past year), his favorite sports are snow skiing
and tennis. He’s also taking trampoline lessons in an effort to increase his
trick-quota on the diving board for summer next year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition to his MTG obsession, he’s into comics and
movies and all types of music. But probably the neatest thing about Holden is
his ability to empathize. One quick example was when we were setting up
Christmas decorations and he mentioned to Zoë that “Mary should be laying down
because she has a lot of pain. She’s happy, but she’s in pain.” I don’t know
many nine year olds who are concerned with the birth experience, let alone
thinking about how the mother of Jesus actually felt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m really proud of him for the way he thinks about serving
and helping others (he wanted part of his Christmas money to go towards the
Salt Lake City Mission to feed the homeless). He’s an incredible child with a
huge heart and he teaches me so much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another big-heart in our family – along with a big
personality – is our ZoëBug. She turned seven on the seventh (#golden), but we
often say she’s going on 17. When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday
and Christmas, she responded: “A karaoke machine, a Teenager Starter Pack and
peace on earth.” (Probably in that order.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh, what’s a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">teenager
starter pack </i>you say? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“It comes with black headphones that I can wear around my
neck like a teenager. A little player for my music,” she tells us. And then
later describes how it has to be a small nano-sized mp3 player because “the big
ones don’t fit in my pocket.” And to round off the starter pack… “And like $300
for music.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We. Were. Dying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know they’re learning about money in first grade, but I’m
holding onto the idea that $300 is probably about the same in her world as $25
(because that’s what she got to go towards music and seemed elated.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Z is also a fearless skier. She doesn’t like to turn – she
just likes to haul down the mountain fearless and stop when it’s convenient
(for her.) She also started singing lessons this past year and has already had
two performances and seems to adjust to the spotlight quite easily. I love how
she gets more animated each time she’s on stage. Her teacher is super patient,
as Zoë often has her own ideas of what she’d like to do – but thankfully is
always steered in the right direction (though it often takes treats.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She’s planning to play soccer again in the Fall – and is
improving in the sport as well. When we brought to her attention that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everyone</i> on the team gets tired, it was
a bit of a game changer and she realized she needed to try A LOT harder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She loves music and math, and I pray everyday that she’ll
keep her love of STEM through her teenage years. Not surprising, she’s a fiery
little activist as well. And is still wondering why congress has not adopted
her idea of putting bears in front of gun shops “so bad guys can’t get guns.” I
applaud her outside-the-box thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She’s our little cuddle-bug. She loves hugs and cuddles and
more cuddles…just don’t touch her hair without her permission. And she would
want me to share that she doesn’t like My Little Pony or Princesses… “and how
come boys think girls can only like pink?!?!” she said over breakfast. I don’t
know Z – I’d probably blame the patriarchy. ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And that is not the best transition to Danny, but it will
have to do. It’s hard for me to write about Danny because I want to brag about
what my family members are passionate about. So if Danny was “living his best
life,” as opposed to working full time, or dealing with the pile of laundry I
ignore, or meeting the Dryer repair man because I’m at a tennis match… or a
myriad of other things, I could rattle off better stats about him. I imagine
it would look something like: “Danny was able to dedicate hundreds of hours
this past year watching college football, and managed to join Dan Patrick for
ribs (that he never had to touch with his fingers) and a few guest segments on
his show this past year. Sabrena joined him often for Crossfit WODs and cooked
meat and vegetables multiple times a week. And not once this year did he have
to wake up with an alarm for the day.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But alas, that’s wishful thinking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He did workout a lot – but I only joined him for a WOD
once. He did watch a bunch of College Football, but could’ve enjoyed more. If
he wants to eat animal protein for dinner it means he probably cooked the meal
or we’re eating out. (Whoops!) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But he totally should get Husband and Father of the Year.
The truth is, all the volunteering and fundraising I’m doing would not be
possible if Danny didn’t take a key role in being the taxi-driver and keeping
parity in our home. There’s no "husband’s job," or "wife’s job" – there’s just work
to do, and care to be provided, and every year we spend together he seeks more
actively to serve where there’s a need. I’m so grateful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He joined the Discovery Gateway children’s museum board
(again), and is also going to take over a bunch of my fundraising
responsibilities for the foundation so I can focus on some other things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He took up pickleball, is playing more tennis with me (date
nights!) and hit all his professional goals for the year (going on ten years with Mountain West Small Business Finance in 2019!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He makes us laugh everyday and is totally the kids’
favorite. His temperament and patience level is much more suitable for
parenting than yours truly. But I count that as a blessing, not a strike. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because I have a husband who manages so much of the
emotional labor of running a household (did I mention he drives Zoë to school
everyday and runs neighborhood carpool twice a week?!?!), I get to do things
like play a lot of tennis and do a lot of volunteer work (oh and work. Yes, I’m
still running my own business as a public relations consultant and freelance
writer, but that’s just to help offset the cost of my tennis obsession.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We’re celebrating a year anniversary of <a href="https://pillowsforprisoners.org/" target="_blank">Pillows forPrisoners,</a> and will donate another 400 for this holiday season thanks to the
support and donations of so many of you (you can still contribute! It’s never
too late.) I also volunteer to teach yoga at the jail – and it’s been a good
way to connect with the women on a different level. Politics took up a bunch of
time as well. We hosted as house party for Sheriff Rivera, who has been a huge
help with the Pillows project and has an incredible story herself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mostly, I’m just trying to save the world and raise children
who recognize the privilege we enjoy: and use that to help others. (And also eat
really good food, and play a lot of tennis.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This holiday season we’ll be reflecting on a refugee family
from more than two thousand years ago—forced to flee their homeland for fear of
persecution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re making space, trying
to treat others and fill our hearts with the same love and compassion Jesus
Christ had for all those around Him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Merry Christmas and happy holidays – however and wherever you’re
celebrating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">But an update nonetheless….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Honestly friends, I can’t believe it’s been another year. In retrospect, I know it sounds a little over the top, but last year at this time Danny and I were having serious discussions about how to uproot our entire lives and relocate to Europe. I was devastated. While our country overwhelmingly did not cast their vote for the Cheeto in Command, Trump (and the Russians’) electoral college victory had me seriously thinking about what type of country I wanted to raise my children in. A “Shining city on a hill” it seemed, we were not.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">But ultimately, through prayer, meditation

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Reading in the New Testament for our before-school
scripture exploration, and we’re graced with the “whosoever looketh on a woman
to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” verse.
Which lead to Holden to asking the obvious question: “What’s adultery?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

having an intimate inappropriate relationship with someone else who is already
married….”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">It was quickly obvious I had not properly explained the
value of community service to Zoë, because she began chiming in saying
"It's not fair that people don't get paid if they work hard!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">So
I tried again, "Zoë why do you think I do <a href="https://pillowsforprisoners.com/" target="_blank">Pillows for Prisoners</a>...Why would
Mommy spend her time trying to raise money to give it to someone else?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
This summer, my little sister was incarcerated for a month and a half at the Salt Lake County Jail for drug and alcohol related charges. The experience has affected her, our family and our community in the most unexpected of ways. Her #metoo story, is one with life-changing consequences.<br />
<br />
I hope you'll take a moment to read about Celeste's story and consider making a donation to a neglected and forgotten public. Find out more at www.pillowsforprisoners.com.<a href="http://www.pillowsforprisoners.com/" target="_blank">www.pillowsforprisoners.com</a>.<br />

Because well, cause I have to go to the Bishop’s office. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">[We pause the
interview and talk a little bit about the purpose of meeting with the Bishop.
For those not familiar with the customs and rites-of-passage in the LDS Faith,
one of the steps in being name eligible or named a “candidate” for baptism, to
be included as an official “member” in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, is to meet with your congregational leader (or Bishop, who holds a
similar roll to a pastor as “Father” of the local church.) I tell him it’s not
anything to be concerned over. One thing the Mormon are known for is trying to
get as many people to ‘join’ the church as possible, and he (our Bishop) is
going to do everything he can to help get Holden to become an official member.
That seemed to assuage his fears. So we move on….]<o:p></o:p></i></div>

A 'cousin' called to ask me about the Women's Marches. She comes from a family that has a heavy conservative influence. She's a student at Brigham Young University. She is smart, compassionate, fun and articulate; and due to the nature of our ever polarizing news (and facebook feeds), she was having a hard time dissecting and distilling down the barrage of information about the events. We spent just shy of thirty minutes talking...it inspired me to better articulate why I not only chose to have a friend carry my name as they participated in the march in Washington DC on Saturday, but why I will be joining Salt Lake's local response tomorrow. (There were several sister marches also in the state on Saturday, but Salt Lake's march is set for Monday to coincide with the first day of our state legislature being in session.) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">So back to "the why." Let me back up: </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I went to church today and sat in the pew as I listened to a
brilliant woman (professor at the University of Utah) give a thought provoking talk about the importance of words and how we should be
careful about the words we use. She cautioned about their impact and
challenged us to make sure the words were are using lift others up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">My
spiritual path may not seem conventional to many that share my
religion, but I find great peace in the rituals of Sunday as a Mormon. I sit in
the pew, take the sacrament (i.e. communion in the LDS faith) and for the most
part am filled with a sense of peace at the familiarity of ritual and song I
find inside those walls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I am reminded of words from one of my yoga teachers, who was
speaking about the communal aspect of yoga, but I have found it to also resonate
with my choice to attend church (paraphrased): “While the practice
itself is individual, we come together collectively to feel and elevate one
another’s vibration.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Within the syntax of the LDS faith, some might recognize that as “feeling the Spirit.” It is the peace and joy that I also find
when attending a Catholic mass and hear the ethereal Gregorian chants, when I
am surrounded by yogis practicing “metta” – the meditative practice of offering
loving kindness. I felt in in college at Indiana Wesleyan University,
surrounded by my Evangelical Christian volleyball teammates, as they laid hands
on fellow player struggling with their health. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I’ve experienced it in so many places-- from funerals, to finish lines
of marathons and even on Broadway. People sharing their, time, talents and energy often provoke thought and instill in me a sense that I want to be better,
and do better for myself and humanity. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I cannot deny there is something unique and special about people coming
together with a hope in their heart to improve not just their situation, but
the lives of others.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I will be the first to admit that I live a life of
privilege. To the external world, I’m a cis-gender,
heterosexual, white female living in the upper-east side of surburbia. My children go
to private school. They are both ‘typical’ children. I have a great job with
freedom that allows me to basically make my own schedule, and experience the joys of being a stay-at-home mom. I’m a member of the dominant religion
in my community and my state. I’m pretty insulted, and my life –on so many
levels – exists in somewhat of a bubble. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Yes, I’ve experienced sexual assault and so many of the by-products of rape-culture, misogyny and sexism. I've been turned down for promotions because of the “mommy-track”
and told I “might want to freshen up my lipstick” before I head into a meeting. But overwhelmingly, I have lived a life of privilege. The sexism and misogyny I have
experienced, seems trite to discuss in comparison to what so many in our country are dealing
with. I believe I have a moral obligation to help my neighbor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">There are many ways to serve our neighbors<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– for me, joining together to help raise awareness as a collective voice, feels like just one of the things I ought to do (and want to do). </span></div>

<span style="background: white; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I recognize many of my friends look at the protestors as a bunch of 'sore losers throwing a tantrum' – I say this
because I have seen some of them “like” FB statuses with basically those words,
or similar sentiments. We don't need to get into the fact that Trump called for people to take to the streets after Obama's election --fueled by Donald's lies that Obama wasn't an american citizen; and extremists on the right had their own barrage of horrifying protests--primarily based on birther rhetoric. </span></span></div>

There’s been an article floating around my Facebook feed
from Mike Thayer about lifestyle porn. I’ll admit, when I first saw friends
posting over it I skipped past because… well, you lost me at “porn,” (which I imagine
someday I will also write an opinion piece on another time because, “gasp”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and “surprise” my views on it do not entirely
line up with those being preached by Utah’s Porn Czar and the like.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I digress… when I read <a href="http://mike-thayer.com/lifestyle-porn/" target="_blank">Mr. Thayer’s piece about theepidemic of lifestyle-porn consumption,</a> I’ve got to say…overall, I agreed with
a lot of what he has to say. I think he’s done a decent job drawing parallels
to the fantasy of porn and the fantasy of a perfect life… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A taste of the piece:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It is the ultimate Mormon ideal. Screw waiting until the
afterlife for your mansions on high, there are people living it now, baby! In
fact, as soon as they finish building one mansion, they start building a
different one, because…well…they can. Any variant of perfection you can
fantasize is currently being lived and blogged about by some Utah version of
the Kardashians.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But I would say this. It isn’t real. Watching all of this
is addictive and it sets unrealistic expectations for marriage and life that
can lead to feelings of disappointment and inadequacy. It entices women
everywhere to connect with things that aren’t rea…wait a second…Where have I
heard that before? It sounds so familiar…Oh, that’s right! Porn! What we have
here, ladies and gentlemen, is a sweeping epidemic of Lifestyle Porn.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s worth a read. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Where I take umbrage, (besides my initial reaction of "oh great, another male telling me how I should live my life and not feel inferior,") is that as the target audience he’s
speaking to (Mormon female, mama with young kiddos, between 20-40, young
professional husband along the Wasatch front #nailed it), is that I would’ve
loved more discussion about our actual religion’s role in creating this
‘perfection’ to strive for… we didn’t create this epidemic in a vacuum, it’s
been carefully handed to us our entire lives.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So yes, I hear tremendous leaps have been made in the YW
curriculum! Hallelujah! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reality is
that most of the women in this demographic --as we fall prey to a desire for
this perfection--are again, only an extension of what we’ve been taught. We’ve had hundreds even thousands of lessons and “Super
Saturdays” geared towards showing us and telling us how to make our homes a literal
“HEAVEN ON EARTH.” (First and foremost, the importance of finding a man--or being the type of person someone will want to find you). And then how to craft, and clean, and craft and time manage and craft
and cook and exercise and volunteer and … heavy sigh… more crafting. I had
lessons on make-up application and how to dress “fashionably modest.” This is
my reality, and the reality of so many my age.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, we are not the Lifestyle Porn creators… we’re just
living it out on a different stage. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(And
just to be clear, I’m not a lifestyle blogger. My house has Formica countertops
and for the most part I shop at H&M and Old Navy. But I recognize that even
at the bottom of the Wasatch Front lifestyle-blog barrel, I’m still living an
extreme life of privilege.) <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back to your regularly scheduled program:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve heard from expert after expert about the importance of
documenting our family history. We’ve been told to strive for perfection. Of
course there’s an epidemic of us trying to look perfect – it’s what our
leadership has told us God wants from us since the beginning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve looked at idyllic picture after idyllic picture of a family
happily smiling around a table, or perfectly decorated home, pefectly pressed clothes reading scriptures
and having family home evening. Long before LDS women took to sharing their
successes and ideals online (whether it be for profit/attention/family &
personal history) the LDS Church was placing the propaganda first--compound that with Better Homes & Gardens and fashion magazines, it's just a different type of media consumption.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The great irony is that we are consuming (and on some case doing) just doing what we have been
conditioned to: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">strive for perfection
and document your life to inspire others.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do we inspire when our lives don’t look like perfection?
When we’ve been taught lessons on how “the spirit cannot dwell in an unclean
place.” Regardless of what that scripture actually says, or the meaning behind
it—so many of us have internalized that to mean every freakin’ aspect of our
lives. (I’m actually laughing as I write this – so if that last bit sounded
cruel to you, I promise you that was not the tone intended). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t compare your outtakes with someone else’s highlight
reel.” I think Dr. Seuss said that… or someone famous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not, then it was probably me. (Actually,
it wasn’t me, but I heard it and it’s the best ‘filter’ I use for social
media.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t want to tell lifestyle bloggers (inside or outside the faith) to stop what they’re
doing, because we can’t. Just like you can’t tell Hollywood to stop
airbrushing. Some brave souls will come forward and chose to never be
photoshopped for magazine covers, etc; but the majority will not. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For some being a lifestyle blogger is their
job – they’ve created a brand and an identify associated with it. For some, they’re
contributing to their family’s income. They’ve found a way to take the model
and use it for their own benefit. I’m not going to tell them to stop. They’re
great at what they do. (I wish I had their talent… because not even a fancy
camera would give me their talent or eye for style. A camera can only do so much.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Furthermore, I’m not going to tell people to stop looking at
what they’re creating. Just like an erotic movie with my husband can heat
things up in the bed room (oh. My. Goodness. Yes, I said it) lifestyle blogs
can be inspiring. But yes, I need to remember that they are staged…just like Interior
Design magazines, Vogue <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i> LDS
photoshoots. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Seems like a good place for a quote about moderation here (please, insert your favorite).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">On a similar note, I’m pleased with the progress I see in the LDS Religion
(yes, my religion and how I chose to make a spiritual path, however unconventional
that path may be). Articles in the Ensign are starting to address the realities
of drug addiction, mental health, LGBT issues (again, a topic worth plenty of blog posts in of itself) and how not all families look
like the claims of the “ideal.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s keep those conversations going. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s talk just as much about the realities of real-life as
we do spend time on trying to make it perfect. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love seeing pictures of the incredible things my friends
are doing with their homes (seriously, some of my friends are interior
designers and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE celebrating their talents. They shouldn’t hide
those under a bushel.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Women, we need more of us sharing and celebrating each
other’s talents…we also need more safe spaces for being real. We need to be
safe-spaces for each other to fail. Perhaps even more importantly, we need to
provide a place and a dialogue that realizes that not being perfect, is still
NOT failing. It’s just life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t know the answer to the larger lifestyle-blog
consumption epidemic (I'd love to hear your solutions!) But I do know that human nature says when you tell someone
that something is bad for them, most of the time they are more interested in
learning about it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I guess I’m more interested in more people--male and female--being “real” within our religion and culture, and more of us helping to create
safe and judgment-free spaces to live that out. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">And finally, let’s not blame women for a pre-occupation with
the perfect family life (i.e. lifestyle)…last I heard, we’re still fighting for
our seats at the tables where the curriculum is written.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">For those of you searching for a little more back story on
the hot dude gracing our Christmas card this year… well, that’s obviously my
husband. The other guy that is not too hard on the eyes is Stephen Amell: star of
the CW’s “Arrow” television show. It’s basically a soap opera with superheroes;
and thanks to my seven-year-old son who has a not-so-mild (but healthy)
obsession with comics I got sucked in to this particular alternate universe. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can Google his name and “Salmon Ladder” if
you need more fodder.</span></div>

As some of you may know, it’s tradition for me and Holden to
attend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ6Q9AkhRIc/?taken-by=shaktisuite" target="_blank">Salt Lake’s ComicCon each September</a>. Last year, Zoë started joining us;
and this year the whole family joined in the fun! Danny noticed that Mr. Amell was doing PhotoOps so we forked out the cost of what one might normally spend
on an entire family holiday photo shoot and got about five seconds and a
“smile” with him to document our fandom. It only seemed appropriate to use it
and abuse it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So there’s the backstory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The other piece of the puzzle is the giant white snow boogie on Danny’s
face that he and I missed when we both looked at the screen-print. Apparently,
we need to invest in hard copy proofs next time. I volunteered to sharpie them
out, but Danny said the holidays were busy enough and he didn’t care. If only I
could be so cavalier. . . #typeA #ChristmasIsRuined<o:p></o:p></div>

Danny said I couldn’t talk about him doing CrossFit. So I
won’t. I’ll just say that if my husband found something physical that he was as
dedicated to as baseball, and found some friendships and a community he loved
while doing it… I’d think it was pretty cool. And I’d be super proud of him.
And I’d want to mention it in our newsletter. But like I said, he said no
CrossFit mentions, and since 2016 has really inspired me as a woman to sit back
and follow the lead of a man, I’m just going to honor his request and let it
be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So in the place of talking about his dedication to working
out, I’ll bring up a few noteworthy things about him: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He likes reading gossip magazines. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s super excited about getting a new water softener AND a
home humidifier in our house. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s NOT a candidate for LASIK. <o:p></o:p></div>

He’s awesome at making chocolate chip cookies – he started a
new Sunday baking tradition and we are loving it! <o:p></o:p></div>

Danny and I also celebrated 10 years of marriage in August
with a trip to Cancun in September. It was much more relaxing than the one to
Indianapolis we took earlier in the year where we got stuck in Chicago, the
airlines lost our luggage and we ended up on two hour Mega Bus ride to Indiana
through tornado warnings with a tour that started at midnight from a random street corner
downtown in the windy city. We were thankful to brave the storm together – and
especially that our kids were NOT with us to experience the madness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>#makingmemories<o:p></o:p></div>

Speaking of the kids. Holden tried on team sports for size
again this past year, and ultimately decided Saturday mornings spent sewing at The
Finishing School were a way more enjoyable use of his time. We told him he
needed to find some sort of physical activity – so he opted for KungFu and
received his yellow belt within the first couple of months of training. As I
noted in the quoteables, he said, “My heart is just telling me to do KungFu.”</div>

He’s in his second year of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the “Lower Elementary” Montessori cycle at Elizabeth Academy… which in
layman’s terms means we have a second grader. <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
He still loves the sciences – especially zoology. His current obsession,
besides SuperHeroes (and trying to watch as many PG-13 movies edited for
content on VidAngel before the Movie Giants put the kibosh on it), is Hamilton.
We watched the PBS special, have been listening to the Grammy Winning
Soundtrack and have been reading up on the Founding Fathers Stories via
Wikipedia and these really cool relics called “books.” Holden really got a kick
out of black man playing George Washington. I get a kick out seeing how
different my kids see the world than I did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s got a super huge and sensitive heart. Like a good
portion of our country (and the world) Holden’s having a bit of anxiety about
our new president-elect. #HeWhoMustNotBeNamed<br />
<br />
Long before his mother’s pointed
brand of feminism could get to him, Holden heard Donald talking on the Sunday
Political Roundups his grandfather was watching. He caught on right away that
this was not an individual that respected woman. The fact that he “says swears”
was another deal-breaker for Holden. We talk about the importance of being kind
to others and how now (more than ever) we have a responsibility to help those
not in the same position of privilege we benefit from. They are hard
conversations, and at times I wonder if I have taken too much of the innocence
of his childhood by answering his questions honestly. I suppose only time will
tell – but one thing I know is that he is one of the most thoughtful,

<span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;">Speaking of considerate – </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNtPMskBXjE/?taken-by=shaktisuite" style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;" target="_blank">our little firecracker of a daughter</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;"> inspired us all when she made the decision to have friends bring gifts
for the less-fortunate to her party instead of collecting gifts for herself.
“Mom, I already get so many presents from you and grandma and our family,” she
reasoned.</span><br />

Often times I am too quick to talk about Zoë’s “sass” or
“spiciness.” She is not short on strength-of-mind or stubbornness. (I’m not
sure where she gets it from because Danny is so mild mannered, and I am… errr, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">working</i> on it.) But the truth is, she is
such a passionate individual. She weeps for missing animals. She’s just barely
starting to read, but has no problem recognizing the words “Lost Dog” on
homemade signs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s passionate about
our planet ("Mom, turn off the fossil! I call faucets fossils," she tells us) and is very concerned about “glitter” (Garbage + Litter = Glitter.) <o:p></o:p></div>

When she asked to take the “I Side With” political quiz
Danny and I had been fooling around on, she told me to mark the Refugee Crisis
as her most important issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I chose to expose her to children’s books about Martin Luther King, Jr., Hillary Clinton
and Malala – but they have come to be some of her favorites, right alongside
Doc McStuffins and Wonder Woman. <o:p></o:p></div>

Speaking of Wonder Woman, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BKUOIY7BNxd/?taken-by=shaktisuite" target="_blank">Zoë picked out a three foot tallposter of the Amazonian princess at ComicCon for her bedroom.</a> It says “No time
for naughty!” It hangs in between her poster of The Beatles “Yellow Submarine”
(which looks like a bad acid trip) and her Alice In Wonderland print with a hookah-smoking-caterpillar. Needless to
say, when I set out to decorate my daughter’s bedroom this year, I had a
different “vision” in my head of what it ought to be; but Z’s her own woman. <o:p></o:p></div>

She tried dance again this summer and is excited to get back
to more formal lessons. She also played a little soccer and really excelled at
trash talking. I keep telling her it’s better to have the skill set and let
your talent be your words, but apparently yelling to other four and five year
olds “You’re going down!” gets a quicker reaction. #sugarandspiceandeverythingnice<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

She’s in her second year of Early Childhood Montessori –
making her a PreK (4); and just turned five on December 7<sup>th</sup>. She
started planning the party months ago: “I want a ‘Frozen’ party with a clown, a
snack station and a art station.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
also wanted 30 of her friends to attend at our house… since I actually love
entertaining, and don’t ever want anyone to ever feel left out, we did it. But
now I have a new rule – if you’re inviting more friends than the age you’re
turning, we’re having the party off site. But truth be told, it was a hit – and
leave it to a kid to know what it is kids want. #whoknew?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>#shedid<o:p></o:p></div>

As far as the mother of the Suite-Mangum house: my only
complaint is that I wish I had more hours in the day. Lately I have become very
aware of my mortality and the limited time we have here on this earth. Maybe
it’s Hamilton. Maybe it's #HayesTough. Maybe it’s my spiritual journey – but I have been thinking more
and more about how we just don’t know how long we (or anyone) will last.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is also why I am trying to suck as much
out of each and every single day as possible. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m still volunteer teaching yoga at the kids school and
helping out with a community yoga class at our church most Tuesday evenings.
I’ve been getting back into running after I finally got some help and healed my
plantar fasciitis that had been debilitating (and seriously contributed to some
extra junk in my trunk and everywhere else the past two years). <o:p></o:p></div>

I’ve been enjoying traveling with the kids and with Danny
this past year: California, Indiana, Idaho, Northern and Southern Utah, Florida
and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BKhLA-ZhVdV/" target="_blank">Mexico</a>. We’ve got a trip to Yellowstone planned with my parents and the

I’ve been especially enjoying my work for Neumont
University. It may seem odd to some people – I mean, I work in consulting and
public relations. But for me, it’s been an opportunity to see first-hand how education can
break the cycle of poverty in families. I’ve also been able to help
the school in the community outreach with the United Way, and a portion of Salt
Lake’s refugee population. The work is truly rewarding; and I get to use my
talents and time to do something I love. <o:p></o:p></div>

My biggest challenge is trying to figure out how to fit

I don’t know the
secret. I’ll admit 2016 was jam packed. There were so many ups – and some
horrible downs. I have not yet figured out the dance, but I am thankful for a

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The Huffington Post's <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/beyonce-clinton-feminism_us_581d5b3ae4b0d9ce6fbc4b2f" target="_blank">recap of Beyonce reclaiming HRC's "could've stayed home and bake cookies" as well as the controversy of her not taking Bill's name from the get go</a>, had me reflecting about my own name. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I was thrilled to be officially "attached" to Danny Mangum when we wed. I also remember how off-putting it was the first time I heard someone say the words '<i>Sabrena Mangum</i>.' It was at church, the first Sunday after our honeymoon -- I was being introduced and failed to stand up at first because I thought: "Oh there's another Sabrena in this ward!" (The word ward is Mormon-speak for congregation). </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">But they were trying to welcome me. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>Sabrena Mangum </i>didn't sound right then, and ten years later there's still something odd to me about it. I don't know who that person is--in my multiverse, she's never existed anywhere in a legal sense. Basically that name is just a social norm or construct where others assume it is (or should be) my name. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was more than a year of marriage before I legally changed my name from Sabrena Suite to hyphenating: Sabrena Suite-Mangum.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A decade later, it's not as big of a deal for a woman to keep her name or hyphenate (even in Utah); but I do remember Danny taking a decent amount of heat for my choice from plenty of work colleagues.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Doesn't your wife love you?" Some said. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">"She sounds like a feminist..." a different type of, but almost equally abhorrent, f-bomb in Mormon lexicon. <img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The thing is, I'm honored to have the Mangum name. It's an incredible family and legacy that has blessed my life immeasurably; AND I'm also honored to be a Suite. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There's a lot that comes with my maiden name. My Dad has no sons and no brothers. I have three sisters. Of the two that are married: one hyphenated, and one took Suite as her middle name. None of the four Suite-sisters were given middle names. My parents anticipated we'd take Suite as our middle name when wed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A name is a very personal thing; and changing it is also very personal. I make no judgments either way. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">But for me, "Suite" has been a part of my entire life. Many of my closest friends -- especially those I played sports with in high school and volleyball in college still refer to me just by my maiden name--not even Sabrena, just Suite. Some friends have opted for 'Suiter' or 'Suiteness' (if you're my college roommate, Rachel Birr). I adore it and all its derivatives. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Beyond my youth and time in sports, it's how I was known in the professional world for years through my time in Public Relations and in magazine articles I had penned across the country: my column in SkyWest Magazine was titled "Suite Spots" and the stunt I did for St. George's lifestyle magazine was a play on my name as well, "Oh so sweet!" </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So yes, to some degree changing my name to "Sabrena Mangum" felt like I was trading out my identity, and in a very literal sense <b><i>giving up the name I had made for myself professionally</i></b>. But I certainly didn't think I was disrespecting my husband by not replacing my maiden name with his last name -- I felt like I was honoring my family, where I came from and who I'd become. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">What's in a name? Actually, a lot. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And thankfully, I think </span></span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Sabrena Suite-Mangum,</i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and all it </span>encompasses<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> has a pretty nice ring to it. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span class="s1">In St. George and Z found (one of) my least favorite Disney Princess Stories: The Little Mermaid. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Yes, the music’s catchy. Yes, she was seen as a spirited and a "doesn't-play-by-the-rules" type of girl…but where I take serious umbrage is how our <i>heroine</i> gives up her voice (HER VOICE!?!) for the chance to persuade a man she’s never even had conversation with to kiss her based on “her looks, her pretty face.” </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">While I made Z a promise last year she could watch "The Little Mermaid" movie once she had read (or listened to) “The Feminine Mystique,” I did’t say anything about steering clear of the book adaptation. So there I found myself, curled up with my favorite four year old reading the Golden Book/Disney version of “The Little Mermaid” while Holden listened from afar chiming in with comments like “You should fall in love with someone’s personality” and “She should’ve listed to her father.” </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We all recognized that King Tritan destroying all of Ariel's precious dinglehoppers and human treasures did nothing to curb her enthusiasm for the world above. It just made her more upset and less likely to respect her father. (Lesson noted!) But the real gem of the conversation came at the end of the story where Eric and Ariel are pictured post nuptials just three days after meeting with the text “and they were married that day.” </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Even before I could sub out “And they lived happily ever after” with “And they began their life together of shared responsibility and mutual respect,” Holden noted that “you should date someone for three years instead of three days before you marry them;" and Zoë tried to assure me that Ariel hadn’t made a foolish decision saying “Mom, I bet she’s gone to college.” </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Holden fired back smugly: “I don’t think she’s gone to college Zoë. I don’t think she really knows anything.”</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Zoë, indignant at such a harsh critique of the the stubborn and headstrong redhead rebuked her brother firmly: “Yes she has Hoe-den! She went to school. She went to Mermaid College and Mermaid school!” </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">So that went well. </span></div>

Here's some random stream of consciousness.... <div class="MsoNormal">
My mother has FLOW in parenting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I look back and my earliest memories of my childhood include
snuggling up and having her read books to me before nap time, making playdough
from scratch (it was so salty! Not that I ate it…not that I didn’t try), hand
made lunchables, and a lot of solo mothering on her part because my Dad
traveled so much – especially when we moved to Chicago when I was seven.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I found out later that when we were living in that apartment
in Illinois with patio furniture as our first dining table and the green shag
carpet that money was tight – apparently our house in Salt Lake hadn’t sold
they were covering a mortgage and rent 1500 miles away. But what I mostly
remember includes flashbacks of home-made pizzas (my mom made the dough from scratch)
and entertaining the LDS missionaries, making loads of Grape Kool-Aid
(apparently it best masked the taste of the awful midwest water), and a summer
of time in the sun and the swimming pool. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And my mom did it all. Four daughters, away from her family,
a husband whose travel schedule (working for a Fortune 50 company) had him
retuning home on Friday evenings to pack up and leave again on Sunday
afternoon. But I had no idea our lives were anything but perfect. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before the #HillYes campaign had the market on rad feminist
shirts, my homemaker of a mother had the most adorable baby-blue little-girl
tee that read “A woman’s place is in the House…and the Senate.” And she was a
proud SAHM. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t remember being shuffled from extracurricular to
extra-curricular activity until Junior High. Sure, there was the occasional
dance class at the rec center, or a softball or soccer team we participated in
on a Saturday once in a while, but my childhood was one of school, and milk and
cookies when I got home (usually made from scratch or fresh out of the oven)
with homework and practicing (more on that later). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She included us in the tasks of daily life – so I grew up
learning how to cook and clean and mow a lawn. I was making myself omelets on
Saturday mornings before I was eight; about the same time I started mowing our
lawn. (Before I forget, regarding the cooking thing: my kids proudly tout my mother's brownies as the "Best brownies in the world" -- which I believe to be true. Her hommade brownies are incredible. And she's best at making things fro scratch -- we once broke the tip of a kitchen knife trying to cut brownies she tried to make from a box because she was using the time tested methods of how to 'check' baked goods -- and Betty Crockers "just add oil and water" did not cooperate). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Music was an important part of my childhood. While I was
eternally trying to fill up my “Lenny Listener” Suzuki chart (and I was never
really good on the violin at all); her passion for music meant I grew up
listening to the classic and orchestral music that became something I wanted to
make sure I shared with my children early in their youth as well. She taught violin to make extra money -- even driving to Price Utah early on Saturday mornings to add a little extra money to the family's bottom line. We all played the piano too -- which proved to be super helpful when I took up drums in my twenties (post college) and Cicely and I started a garage band when we were living together in St. George. She also has an incredible singing voice and she and my Dad both sang in Skyline's performing choirs. One of the sweet delights of my youth (and to this day, though it hardly ever happens) is hearing my parents sing together -- if you ever get a chance, they do a sweet rendition of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" (aka Pine-Cones & Holly Berries.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She had four girls to take care of—and part of that was pink
curlers on Saturday nights, for Sunday best the next morning at church. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think about our house on Gary Road in the cove, when I’d
come home from volleyball practice to the rich scents of sugars boiling and
sauces simmering. The humidity seeping upstairs, and I’d venture down the stairs
to see the basement filled with the matriarchs of our family: peeling slicing
and chopping…the whole family room had been turned into a cannery – peaches,
tomatoes, grapejuice and the like. There was no purchasing of food storage:
this was the preparation for the coming cool season. And their fearless leader:
my mother. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I watched her care for her own mother – my grandma, and my
Dad’s mom if she was her own. It would take numerous novellas to details the
countless acts of service: from meal preparation, to being my grandma’s
house-call “beautician” and personal chauffer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we got older, and sports became the focal point of our
family time: she’d pack dinners to eat on Monday evenings when we had Rec
tournaments for junior high. In high school, prep for swim team early mornings
meant my mom was often up before 5: packing a lunch for me and Cassandra, plus
a snack AND a breakfast to go since practice started before 6am. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some mornings she’d surprise up with home made cinnamon
rolls (was she up at 3 am those mornings or did she just never go to bed the
night before?) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She (along with our Dad) would cheer us on in all our
sports: track, basketball, volleyball, swim meets and water polo games. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She helped with campaign posters for student body elections
and drove across the country with me when I was attending school in Indiana.
She’d send me care packages at college – CD’s of the MoTab (which I absolutely
loved, being at an evangelical Christian college where I longed to feel more
connection to the religion of my youth), helped me relocate to Fresno as a
flight attendant. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spent my 21<sup>st</sup> birthday with my parents in
Indiana: we at dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and all just chuckled when the
foodserver assumed I’d be getting’ my drink on later that night. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s baffling to think about the money they spent on all
four of us: beyond the normal costs associated with raising four daughters in
Olympus Cove on the east-side of Salt Lake – there were club volleyball dues,
travel to tournaments (which they never missed) and then Celeste and I both
played volleyball out of state in college. They’d travel to see us play then
too! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I took way to much for granted from my mother—my whole life.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her aspirations for a career never seemed to come into play.
It’s like she always wanted to be a mom and was gifted and brilliant at it. Her
expertise actually was cause for some serious anxiety in my own life, because
while I admit I work hard at motherhood – it does not come easy or naturally
for me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember feeling so relieved when she told me she imagined
I’d be like the commercial of the lady on the conference call who hangs up,
looks down and begins speaking ‘motherease’ to the baby next to her; and she’s
actually killing it as a WAHM. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m thankful that she gave me permission to follow my heart
and continue to work. Truth be told, I am much better at drafting press
releases and statements for Crisis Communications than I am at say, giving
birth or breast-feeding a first born. But somehow, with her help and support I have
muddled through. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always admired her faith and testimony. I wish I had
her spiritual gift of belief. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And although she’s way too critical of her own body (which,
for the record has always been bangin’), I think she gave us permission to own
our bodies and our sexuality. I’m grateful for conversations early on (much
different from what I was hearing about at church); that helped me understand
that sex was not something to be feared – but to look forward to. How awesome
is that!?!? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could go on and on. Her work in the Relief Society, what an awesome grandma she is and all the service she provides to me.... <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Possibly most important is that I can’t imagine what my life would be like without her, and
I don’t want to ever find out. She has always been my best friend, my
confidant, my sounding board, my cheerleader, my example and a huge pillar of
strength in my life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy Birthday Mom. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks (and curse you) for making it motherhood look so
easy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you,<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Around December I decided that this was the year I was NOT going to set a weightloss goal. Because even if I made it, there was a possibility I would "un-make" it and that just leads to trauma. We could get into more of the back story, but I think it 'sufficeth' to say I wanted to take a different approach to personal growth and well-being in 2016.<br />
<br />
2015 was plagued with injury and stuff. I wanted to be done with the stuff--and the injuries so one day it came to: "Just pick a mantra." And then I built on that, and instead of a word or a phrase I picked four words I wanted to infuse my life with: "LOVE, HEAL, DECLUTTER, RUN."<br />
<br />
So here we are, about a third of the way into the year, and I think I'm due for an update.<br />
<br />
<b>LOVE: </b><br />
What I wanted was to love my family more. Love God more. Love my body more. And it's been happening. We got a little gold bell in the kitchen that I ring as opposed to yelling for my children to "come." Call it old-school Pavlovian response -- but there's something different about our home when I'm patient in the mornings -- and the act of NOT raising my voice, helps immensely with that. I've also tried to just enjoy the time we're in. My kids are growing up -- they're getting more independent and life seems a lot easier to manage with them, but I don't want to fall prey to wishing they'd stay young. I'm really trying to enjoy "this" phase. Right here, and right now. It doesn't always happen, but I'm definitely trying to be mindful of it.<br />
<br />
Danny and I have continued with our quarterly couple trips -- anywhere from a night away to a week. We had a wonderful trip to Ventura California last quarter and will be heading to Indianapolis for a work trip (his work, not mine but I get to tag along) and then to Cancun in September to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.<br />
<br />
As far as my body -- that one has been a little more challenging. With my Plantar Fasciitis (PF) reaching an all time low in 2015, working out was not a priority and running was completely off the table. Even yoga and riding a bike was painful. Take that coupled with my love of sugar and chocolate chip cookies and there's going to be a few more layers of me to love.<br />
<br />
Loving whatever skin I'm in is not an easy thing for me. But I try to continue to remind myself that my body can do amazing things and to practice gratitude for this skin I'm in. Reading more about intersectional feminism has played a huge role in shifting my framing and recognizing that #AllBodiesAreGoodBodies. And when I look for the beauty in all those around me, it's easier to see it in myself.<br />
<br />
<b>HEAL: </b><br />
I set out at the beginning of the year to heal my heel and foot pain. The physical changes in my PF have come from lots of hot yoga (ideally four classes minimum a week), rolling out with a Yoga TuneUp or racquetball and getting deep tissue release done using the Lokte Method.<br />
<br />
But what I've also realized this year is that the foot pain is a symptom, not just the problem. There's a lot of healing that's needed to happen within my religion (I'm talking to you Horrid month of November). I think belief is something that ebbs and flows -- and while I can't deny a personal connection to God, it's easy for me to see that there is Truth all around.<br />
<br />
Healing my relationship with Divinity has been a major player in my year. Sometimes I feel like I'm best off treating the LDS Religion like a LeLeche League or AA meeting where they start with the disclaimer: "Take what works and leave the rest." I recognize that to many of my brothers and sisters in the faith will think I soundlike I'm not staying in "The Ole' Ship Zion"... but I'm a PostModern-Feminist member of the Faith... I'm not really fitting into anyone's paradigm with my belief system -- nor do I aspire to.<br />
<br />
The good news is, as my philosophical foundation shifts and moves to something more tolerable and less painful (just letting go of all the cognitive dissonance is a real key), I'm feeling more grounded. And with that comes more healing in my body's foundation -- my feet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DECLUTTER:</b><br />
I think part of the healing processes has come with decluttering -- physically and emotionally letting go of things that are no longer of benefit (or as the KonMari method would say "Only hold onto things that bring you joy.") The truth is, there is plenty in the LDS Faith that still brings me joy. And plenty to believe in (plenty to let go of as well -- wink, wink) and that has been the key.<br />
<br />
As far as the actual physical stuff, I bought the book "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" after multiple recommendations from friends and it has been a wonderful blueprint to get rid of stuff. More than 30 bags and boxes of "STUFF" has been sent to the Road Home, a friend, the recycle bin or in some cases the trash. What a wonderful feeling!<br />
<br />
<b>RUN:</b><br />
This one's a little harder. We had signed up for the Ogden Half Marathon last year and it's just two weeks away. While I started the year with some mornings where I couldn't even walk -- I have managed to get in multiple 2-3 mile runs (ok, jogging really) which sounds like nothing when I remind myself before Z was born I used to run 30-40 miles a week. But I guess everyone starts somewhere. I don't think I'll run the 1/2 marathon -- it's now only a week and a half out, and although it's more than likely I'll finish, I still need a couple of recovery days just for the shorter runs. I'd like to take it slow and start up again when I'm a little more on the up-and-up. But it's progress.<br />
<br />
And 2016 is all about the journey -- not the destination.<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Getting a late start on our road trip to Upstate Utah – but
stopping in Ogden for beignets and waffles at Pig in a Jelly Jar on Historic 25<sup>th</sup>
Street, and then heading to Scruds for milkshakes where Holden climbed up to
the bar and proclaimed: “We’re not here for beers or alcohols!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t snap a photo of the kids arranging flowers for
their two “Greats” and Grandma Stevie, or cuddling with Holden in his bottom
bunk-bed as we whispered Math Facts into the darkness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We ate meals around a giant table with four generations
present and I watched Holden escort his Great Grandmother to the table and then
(with no prompting from adults) watched him pull out her chair kindly and
proudly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She later would tell him about her Mother driving a car
pregnant – and he would listen… and then later in a quiet moment to her reflect
and remark “It must be hard having your husband gone.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zoë would make pictures for the Greats – with pictures of
pianos, soccer, and flowers with petals leaves and pollen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We would jump on the new trampoline – play ‘crack the egg’
and roast smores on the gas fire pit at “The Barn.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found pauses in the rain to shoot hoops and
walk along the river with Danny’s parents while the kids rode bikes and stopped
to look at a tree, a poinecone, smell some flowers or in Holden’s case –
discover a snake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we stopped at the park he was convinced he found
tadpoles – his Grandma and I thought they were a lichen on the river’s rocks,
but on closer inspection they were actually some form of worm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We made it back to The Barn. Holden leading the way and not
complaining once about hauling his bike up the hill. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rain would return but<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>that wouldn’t stop Zoë from her time on the tramp. At one point, the
kids jumped nonstop for almost an hour. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We cuddled. We read stories. Holden started The Jungle Book
with his Grandma while I finally got a shower. Danny tried to watch baseball. We
all had naps – except Holden. He worked on art projects and spent time drawing
comic books and working on art projects. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stevie and I moved in synchronicity on food prep. Some how
bobbing and weaving but not having to say much to one another and she
mastered<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the grill and we produced
massive amounts of food for another meal before catching the Derby race. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning Danny presented me with a flowery card that
included purple butterflies. I saw it an immediately knew he had;t picked it
out. “Where did you get this card?” I said, chuckling. “Zoë insisted you loved
purple butterflies,” he said. He didn’t have to, but I loved we were both in on
a secret joke – that was more sweet than silly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’d head to Snowbasin for brunch with 15 other family
members. And still, I didn’t have my phone for pictures. I was just still taking
it all in. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the ride home, the Great Gradmas would join us, and
before the kids settled into games on their electronic devices, Holden
suggested we play the “Movie Game” where we’d recite lines from films and the
rest of the car members would try to guess where they came from. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After that, the Greats shared a bit about what life was like
before television – or even radios in Marion’s case. Holden wanted to know what
football was like in Barbara’s (“G.G’s”) day and the most popular sports that
Marion (“Nana”) enjoyed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought a lot about my own Mother over the weekend (who is
traveling overseas.) I thought about my Grandmas and my sisters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. But sometimes
I also think, it’s better to leave the camera-phone behind. <o:p></o:p></div>

Holden, at just past 6pm this evening, you’ll officially be
seven. <a href="http://ourfavoritebirthstories.blogspot.com/search/label/Holden%20Mangum" target="_blank">Thanks for making me a Mom</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t want to tell you to stop growing up, because I am
(doing my best) to enjoy the journey as it is happening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And like a fine wine (apparently), you get
better with age. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Things that you have enjoyed doing this past year:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Starting sewing class – you gave up on patterns
early and now primairly use the time to just come up with your own creations</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Playing baseball – coach pitch. You love to hit.
(Playing defense is coming…)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Getting into sports – finally you’re excited
about attending a sports event with your Dad, and it’s not JUST about the
Dippin’ Dots.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Starting first grade – you are LOVING all the
studies in zoology, geography, botany, history… I’m especially loving that you
hold your teachers in such high regard. They are some seriously SMART women.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Learning Spanish and German at school – you
prefer German.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Things I am so appreciative about you:</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your sense of humor. Holden, you make us laugh.
You have been saying hilarious and insightful things since you started talking…
which didn’t happen much until you turned three, and then the flood gates were
opened!</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your questions. Even though there’s been some
hard ones (the physiology behind where Jesus came from is always one that comes
to mind) and how you just have an indefatigable thirst for knowledge and
answers that cannot be quenched.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your patience. You are so patient with Zoë. She
looks up to you so much, and wants to be with you and like and is still
convinced she is going to marry you. (I know you keep telling her it’s illegal,
and eventually she’ll catch on).</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your creativity. You still spend hours in your
art room, making books and pictures – “video games” that actually require no
electricity or internet – just our imagination. Or building cities, planets and entire worlds with Legos. I hope you never stop creating.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your heart. Hugging me, befriending those who
need it. Saving the whales. #BlackLivesMatter, using “less petrol,” and on and
on.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Your Feminism. (Seriously, SO proud!) We saw
‘Taming of the Shrew’ and your biggest concern was how Petruchio was treating
Katherina, “No man should treat his wife that way.” You ask questions about
equality and bust gender norms (hello, amazing gold sparkle shoes). And you
want to vote for Hillary Clinton. I chuckle as I write this because your future
partner is a lucky person (also remember, no serious dating until college).</span></li>
</ul>
<o:p></o:p><br />

</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "symbol"; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">That when the grown-ups ask "what do you want to be?" that you respond in one of to ways: “Happy,” or “I already am."</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">That you’ll reconsider trying to grow a “fro”
and embrace the power of the man-bun.</span></li>

Merry Christmas! Season’s greetings! Joyous Festivus for the
rest-of…. well you get the idea. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Before you get too far into this thing, I'll mention if you're just here for the kid's quoteables, you can find them <a href="http://www.suitespots.blogspot.com/2015/12/zs-2015-quoteables.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.suitespots.blogspot.com/2015/12/2015-holdenism-highlights-as-remembered.html">here</a>. (Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled post). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2015 has been an interesting year. Winter is really party
time for us – it seems like once we’ve finished giving thanks we move straight in
to Birthday Mode. Zoë’s birthday in early December, Christmas, and then Holden and
Danny celebrate a year older the beginning of February. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So last winter is basically a white blur – that could also
be because we spent more time than ever up at Snowbasin – skiing and eating really
expensive French fries (we liked the fries so much we’ve got season’s passes
for 2016). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last January the kids also started ice-skating lessons. It’s
the ONLY activity we’ve put Z in (besides school) that she actually has stuck
with and enjoyed. Soccer and t-ball mostly ended in frustration and tears (for me and Zoë.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once the birthday rush was over, I had a mid-life-crisis of
sorts where my brain completely lost its ability to function properly and I
volunteered to plan my 20-year high school reunion. So basically, most of 2015
was spent planning a party for people I haven’t seen in years, but had some odd
desire to reconnect with two decades later. (It turned out to be a blast, just
in case you were wondering – but glad it’s over). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We settled into our new house in Holladay and enjoyed having
close neighborhood friends the kids can play with. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Holden (almost 7) and Zoë (who turned 4 on December 7<sup>th</sup>)
are both in school full time. Holden is five full days a week, and Z is
attending four days a week. I upped my Public Relations and Communications
consulting hours to help offset the cost of private schooling… and was a little
nervous about a full-day pre-school. But I should’ve known better. Zoë has
loved going to school since she was two years old. She’s thriving, and we’re
thrilled. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both kids are also learning a little Spanish at school – so
at least someone in our family will be able to speak the language of our heritage
(ok genetics. My biological grandmother is a native from Central Mexico, as you
can <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">almost </i>tell from my kids.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Holden has landed himself in a class with a teacher that is
especially interested in Science and hands-on projects… in addition to math,
science, art, dance, geography and practical life, he’s also learning German.
It’s his favorite language….just ask him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Both kids are ‘taking’ piano lessons. We try to have the
teacher come in twice a week because I refuse to practice with them… or make
them practice (they’re barely four and six!) Besides, I’m not trying to raise
virtuosos – just kids with a little music theory and a background where they can
jam at a jazz club someday, serenade a significant other if need-be, or
accompany a few hymns at church. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Holden caught the coding bug this year. We got all excited
about the international “Hour of Code” initiative (<a href="http://code.org/">code.org</a>) and after seeing
the possibilities at Neumont University (where I spend most of my public
relations consulting efforts), Holden says his number one focus is learning
computer programming “so I can make my own video game and learn robotics.” I’m pretty
sure when I was six my #1 goal was figuring out how many different shades of
pink I could get into my bedroom – but to each their own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Holden's other passion is his new love for sewing … he’s made
a couple of “ugly dolls” (one of him and one for Z’s birthday present); and
most recently created an orange demon with black buttons for nipples. His
teachers say he’s super creative – which I'm sure is sincere, and is also code for
“doesn’t love to use patterns.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He also enjoyed playing coach-pitch baseball this Fall – so
he’ll probably play in the majors in a couple of years. #sogifted
#almostcancatchtheball<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Zoë’s biggest news is that she invented a new superhero
called “Pink Cake Girl.” We don’t know a lot about her, except that she saves
the day, has to wear gloves because she has lava hands and she has pink hair…
and sometimes a cape…and sometimes a mask…and sometimes is a villain. She’s
very free-form. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another one of Z’s passions is fashion. I started a hashtag
on Instagram #stylebyZoë because she’s been really interested in picking out
her own clothes and dressing herself lately. #somanyshadesofpink #somanypatterns<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We remain active participants in the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. I say that with an understanding that so many of the
friends we send Holiday cards to are not members of the LDS faith (and admittedly it's been an <i>interesting</i> year in Mormondom to say the least). Danny and I
are doing our best to teach our children the golden rule. We try to focus on
the “fruits of the Spirit”--peace and patience and tolerance. And when we come
in contact with a dogma or procedure that seems like it doesn’t quite fit into
that vein, we do our best to help our children understand the higher law of
Love and focus on what’s working.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So within our Faith, the real key component is our family
unit as a focus -- and from that starting point, being a collective force for
good on this planet. We’re not perfect, but I think our hearts are in the right
place – and we’re trying. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really love that Danny and I are growing closer in a
different way. While I reflect fondly on our time as newlyweds (the giddy joy
and wonder that comes with the newness of just being married to your best friend) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am grateful for the transformation in our
marriage that has made us so much stronger. I’m so thankful we’ve made “us” a
priority. While we try to do weekly date-nights, our real commitment to one
another has been a get-away a quarter. Whether for a night or a few, we’ve
taken trips to Vegas, Park City, New Orleans and just downtown Salt Lake. It’s
been so great to date without a curfew again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Danny is the most caring and tender husband and father.
Since he finished his masters last year, we’ve all been trying to figure out what
to do with all the extra time on our hands. Wait, what? Unfortunately we all
know that life rarely works that way – the time seems to fill itself. But we’re
grateful he’s home early most evenings and is also a part of our morning
routine. We’ll celebrate 10 years of marriage in August; and I’m looking
forward to seeing what this next decade holds for us together.<o:p></o:p><br />

Usually I put together my kid's tributes by visiting their birth stories. And for me, <a href="http://ourfavoritebirthstories.blogspot.com/2012/01/zoe-suite-mangum-december-7-2011.html">Z's is a story of miracles and redemption all wrapped into one glorious package</a>.<br />
<br />
But I started penning this tribute to Z early Sunday morning...like-three-in-the-morning-can't-sleep early. It had been a crazy fun Saturday. We kicked off celebrating Z's birthday with a party for her and her school girlfriends at SoCupcake. Then we headed downtown for dinner, the lights and an overnight at Little America (because The Grand was more than double the price tag for one night and Z asked for "the chocolate fountain place" for her birthday dinner, which is Zoë-speak for 'brunch at the Grand.')<br />

The night was pretty perfect... Meaning that nothing really went according to plan, but overall we had a great time -- a big part due to Bryan the Bike-Cab peddling our 400-plus pound family around town. </div>

He waited at the gates of Temple Square as we popped in for a quick peak at the nativity when it magically started right as we got there. I told Z she could nestle her way to the front, just ahead of the two adults in front of me... I bent down close to her ear and pointed out the Shepards, then stood up and watched for just a moment when I looked down and she was gone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I turned back expecting to find her by Danny -- she wasn't there. And then the panic hit me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
"I've lost Zoë," I tell him with a sense of urgency that bordered on frenzy. We split directions down the narrow walk-way. And the two minutes it took to find her were the longest of my life -- where your head starts talking crazy what-if's. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somehow she had just missed us in the crowd of adults in parkas, and wandered back towards where we had come from. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think that very real feeling of thinking even for a split-second I had lost her, is what is keeping me from settling into sleep this morning... So I figured I might as well start her annual update. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, in that light, this is for you Zoë. You're irreplaceable... </div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">To our Zoë-Bug: </span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I like how when two people are lying down next to each other in bed, you'll nestle right on top of them -- push in and then say: "You're squishing me guys!"<br />
<br />
In fact, <a href="http://www.suitespots.blogspot.com/2015/12/zs-2015-quoteables.html">you say a lot of hilarious things</a> now that you're talking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things you love:</div>
<div>
Juice -- any kind. From crappy Capri Sun to fresh pressed carrot-apple-beet juice with ginger, you LOVE juice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Painting -- you'll paint on anything: paper, pumpkins, sea shells. We go through a lot of water colors. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

School -- I was a little apprehensive about how four full days of school would work out for a three year old. But you love it, and are thriving...the biggest problem is that they get you during your best parts of the day. Saturday night, as you were laying in bed happily singing the names of the continents, I knew we had you in the right place.... "and don't forget Oceania." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You created a superhero alter-ego called "Pink Cake Girl." She saves the day, and "has to wear 'globves' because she has lava hands. It makes sense, <a href="http://www.suitespots.blogspot.com/2014/12/an-ode-to-z-because-you-almost-three.html">last year for your third birthday I wrote about how you don't talk much but when you do, it's usually to say "Tastes like pink cake!</a>" </div>
<div>
<br />
So "Pink Cake Girl" -- sometimes she has a crown and a purse.<br />
Sometimes she wears a cape. </div>
<div>
Sometimes she wears black running shoes. </div>
<div>
Sometimes she's a villain.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
But I think what I like most about PCG -- besides that you made her up, is how she's constantly adapting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your favorite food is fruit. You once consumed a Costco sized container of blueberries in a single day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You like the idea of doughnuts more than actually consuming them. </div>
<div>

Sometimes when I ask you if you want help putting on your shoes, or clearing your plate you respond: "You do the honors." </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You want a younger sibling -- a baby. (Sorry, not happening). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You've been sleeping in your own bed for a couple of years, but recently have decided you love "sleeping with Ho-den." And there are more nights than not that you still join us in the family bed, although usually it's closer to 6am for snuggles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You love cooking and baking and would eat pancakes daily if given the option. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you grow up you want to be a pumpkin. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You have the coolest evil laugh I've ever heard from a child, and you've been doing it since you would laugh uncontrollably as a baby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You love to dance, but not in classes... more in our living room. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You take after your Grandpa TOM and would "watch shows" for hours on end if given the option. But thankfully, you like being read to just as much. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Playing on teams is not your thing right now...in fact, any sort of specific instructional classes outside of school (and your ice skating lessons) you're just not interested in. I think it's a combination of already getting dance, music, art and PE during the school week... and you're at Elizabeth Academy 28 hours a week as it is. So we'll cut you some slack for not wanting to kick a ball around with friends... you need more time for free-play. I get it.</div>
<br />
I love hear you play-pretend. From cooking, to superheroes, doctor, mom in charge, astronaut or even when you pretend to work on a computer composing letters or taking important conference calls on your phone... the world is your oyster my dear.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
You love washing things. I'll give you a spray bottle with some soap and a sponge and you're a girl on a mission. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You're addicted to pink -- and that's ok. (Shhh, it was my favorite color when I was younger too).</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year, you finally stopped nursing... That's right, somewhere at 3</div>
<div>
1/2 (ok 3.75?) you finally stopped trying to find mommies milk -- even though the store house had been dry for months. When you were born, I basically made a pact with God: help me nurse this baby and I'll let her self wean. So that was that. </div>
<div>
<br />
There's plenty more to add. But for now Zoë, please know we love how you spice up our family. Happy Birthday Pink Cake Girl -- indeed, you save the day! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My kids don’t spend much time or energy talking before they’re
three, but once they start there’s plenty that cracks us up. With Zoë – her loudest
language is really her style of dress…never less than three shades of pink when
she’s styling herself and at least two or three pattern choices. Still, she’s
had a few </span>quotables<span style="font-family: inherit;"> that are approaching, if not rival, and Holdenism we’ve
been blessed to hear.</span></span></div>
