McKenna Gordon - we met again

So since my friend McKenna is having a google search popularity competition with some other McKenna Gordon on the WWW I thought I’d put her name in as the title of this post for extra good measure. And of course brownie points with McKenna. ;) And I must also preface this post by saying that [...]

Honored and Excited!

So if you don’t read Scribbit (and if you don’t I highly recommend you check it out) then you may not have heard that I am to be January’s judge for her Write-Away competition! I like to enter them whenever I can and I am very excited to read all the entries (submitted to me [...]

Long enough to donate again

I think it’s because my grandma has breast cancer that donating to locks of love is important to me. It’s strange how just losing all your hair can make you feel so much less beautiful, less confident. And imagine having that happen to you as a child. I donated my first 10 inches back in [...]

Dental Emergency

Why do most emergencies seem to happen while one is on vacation or while ones husband is out of town? Has anyone else noticed that trend or does it just happen to me? In the current case it was both. I’m still in Utah and my husband is back home. Saturday Count Dooku opened his [...]

My first Wedding Cake

Don’t scrutinize it too closely or you’ll notice what a hurry I was in. For some reason the large chunk of time taken away from me by the 10 hour trip to and from St. George the day before the reception, didn’t seem like such a big deal until I was in the middle of [...]

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I'm Summer, a 26 year old mom of three. Count Dooku is 6, Obi Wan is 5 and Angel Girl is 1. I've been married to Hubby for 7+ years now and still loving it. I've been blogging for just over a year at Summer's Nook and I'm enjoying it more all the time. Shortly after joining the blogging world I found an interest in blog design, taught myself the necessary skills to design Blogger.com blogs and opened up shop at Blog Designs by Summer. I love the creativity and fun it affords me!

I also have many other interests. I crochet, play the piano, love to read and write, am a cake decorator, love to bake in general, scrapbook, am an avid genealogist (have been for 11+ years), enjoy all things outdoors, love to watch and play sports and enjoy playing video games, especially on my old school SNES. I'm very fitful if I'm not learning something new on a regular basis.

Edward and Bella: True Love or True Lust?

Sparked by a recent conversation with my friend Hillary, I have decided I need to post my thoughts about a certain series of novels written by Stephenie Meyer. Particularly the relationship between one, Bella, and the object of her affection. The supposedly uber hot vampire, Edward. Believe me when I say Edward has been well cast in the movie which is scheduled for release in December of this year. I thought Robert Pattinson was exceedingly good looki… Continue

Breast is Best

If you’re a mom, you have more than likely heard the above statement. And as a mom you’ve made a choice, to either breastfeed/ebf or formula feed. Now granted, I believe breastmilk is the best food for baby. It’s how God engineered feeding to be. He created boobs, not formula, BUT I don’t believe this makes formula a wrong choice. I entered the mothering world thinking that there was a right choice and a wrong choice in feeding. But that’s just not how it is. Formula may not be… Continue

The not so nice Mama

“Go and play your video game,” says Nice Mama to her sons. “I’m going to clean your room for you today.” “Oh cool! Thanks,” says one son, giving mama a hug, “You’re a nice Mama.” What he doesn’t realize is that Nice Mama, is really, Mama with Ulterior Motive, in disguise. She smiles as she sends them on their merry way, 13 gallon trash bag clenched in the fist behind her back. She walks backwards down the hall, into their bedroom and bolts the door. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The day of reckoni… Continue

Mommy Brain

The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of Mommy Brain announced its latest guidelines just yesterday, stating that “Not all Mommy Brain, is the same.” This is only the first of hopefully many steps that will be taken to help treat Mommy Brain, which was officially diagnosed last Monday. But mothers have felt the symptoms and their families have experienced the effects of Mommy Brain for centuries. “I knew something was different right after we came hom… Continue

Misconception

I walked into the room with my chin tilted down trying to steal an inconspicuous glance at my stomach. Sucked in? Check. The room was abuzz with chatter, broken momentarily by smiles and greetings directed at me. I gave my cautious, tight lipped half smile in return and quickly found a seat in the emptiest corner of the room. I watched women daintily adding food to their plates. A sprinkling of pita chips here, a dollop of hummus there, a thin slice of pumpkin cake layered with cream cheese icin… Continue
