Before SNAP!… Before I started blogging… Before I met Derek an the boys… I was a career girl. I didn’t just work any old job though, I worked in the ultimate pencil skirt and high heel wearing field – public relations. More specifically, I spent my years as a public relations executive working with politicians and sports super stars. At… Read More
One of my favorite things about working on SYTCY is the opportunity to meet incredibly talented individuals that I might never have encountered otherwise. Justynn is one of those that I probably wouldn’t have ever met without SYTYC, but now she’s someone I can watch and say, “I knew her way back when…” Yes. She’s that talented. YOU will remember… Read More

This summer, it was incredibly hot in Utah. In fact, we met the all-time record for days above 100 degrees. It’s FINALLY cooled off just a little bit. I am grateful…It’s always a little hard to celebrate fall while dealing with summer’s heat! Our contestants have worked hard and come up with some great projects for this week’s fall decor… Read More

So what did you think about birthday week? I really loved all of the great projects entered in this week’s challenge. I know that this one was a bit of a stretch for some of our competitors, but I think they all did a fantastic job. In fact, I sort of wish I had a fail safe…Something like the “Tim… Read More
I didn’t “grow up” with my boys. I sort of figure I just lucked into the “ready made” variety… (Just in case your wondering, in my world they pop in at about two years +) Here’s the thing. Since I came into kids in a bit of a different way, early on people were always trying to give me advice…. Read More

I have a special place in my heart for our international contestants…It’s a bit of a reminder of just HOW small our online world is. Last year we were lucky enough to get to know Naomi, who is from England. This year Portugese native Daniela, from Bonito Servico, represented our international audience. Contestant Interview: Daniela from Bonito Servico 1. Tell… Read More

Raise of hands…who loves pizza? It is very rare to find a person that doesn’t like a delicious slice of pizza hot out of the oven. But, I will tell you a secret, I don’t really care for pizza…well unless it is really good pizza. The crust has to be perfectly cooked, the toppings have to be fresh, and you… Read More
When I was in college I was active in student government. The campaigns we ran were pretty tame…Today? Well, I might find them slightly laughable. While our counterparts at other universities were tackling issues like underage drinking and sorority fights, we had bigger fish to fry… One such issue? Students were cutting across corners of the lawn, creating damaged “paths”… Read More

I spent the more formal part of my career working as a public relations consultant for Utah politicians. When a good portion of your job is spent briefing officials about the “hot topics” of a particular area (say, something like the plight of gophers in northeastern Utah) your brain tends to contain a WHOLE LOT of completely meaningless information. Not… Read More
I’ve been thinking a lot about Project Life in the last couple of weeks…I have to be honest. I’ve been “thinking” about it so much, my pages have come to a bit of a standstill. I am experiencing something like writer’s block for the every day memory keeper… The funny thing is, it’s not because I don’t have… Read More
