Just heard my husband in the next room yell "are you pooping" so I responded "...um...no?" and he shouted back "obviously I'm talking to our toddler."

So that's a thing that just happened in our house.

A Photo Shoot in Paris Recently Skylar learned he could take half a breath and fourteen seconds off of work for a vacation so we thought, what the hell. Let's fly our child and everything we own to Paris. We've had friends...

A quick story on the very important reason we went to Paris.

I toasted four hamburger buns on the grill, brought them in, put them on the counter, and now there's only half of one bun left. I cannot figure out, for the life of me, where it went.

Eli McCann: Why the Mormon legend (or myth) of the ‘Lone Cedar Tree’ matters The "Lone Cedar Tree," where Mormon pioneers supposedly gathered after entering the Salt Lake Valley, died. But it lives on in legend.

My baby is napping on me and he just put the ball right there.

Lololol

We had to do it. We had no other choice.

Honestly, yes. My con law class feels more like a history class right now.

Just watched a woman in socks walk into the urine-drenched lavatory on this flight.

Found him napping with baby's teddy bear.

lol. He has now basically backed away.

Thanks to Peggy Fletcher Stack for her follow up article and Romney's self deprecating response:

Eli McCann: Did you know so-and-so celebrity is — or no longer is — LDS? Latter-day Saints and former members love to play the celebrity name game, facts be damned.

Mitt Romney is having a meltdown on twitter over my column that he clearly did not actually read.

Man gets awkward question from niece, 5, about husband—unprepared for twist "How it could be possible she didn't know we were married?" Eli McCann asked.

Story in Newsweek this morning about a time my niece wanted a tour of my house.

Farmers Market We recently learned there is a farmer's market every Sunday at a historic site in town, called Wheeler Farm. Now, if you, like I, grew up in Zion, you may have gone on a field trip to Wheeler Farm ev...

Yes

To be clear, we still call West the new baby. We probably always will.

He spent the day taking care of the new baby and just need to rest for a minute on one of the baby's toys.

Left our 11 month old with my parents last night, our first night away from him, and when we FaceTimed them at 10 PM to ask how he did going down to bed, they were at a family party and baby was up partying with them.

I'm obsessed with their grandparent era.

He's living his best life

Told my husband I heard a fun idea where we spend 10 minutes every night cleaning up before bed and he informed me he already does this for an hour and "oh my god did you not even notice" and now I regret sharing this.

Just canned 12 quarts of pickles for my family who doesn't eat pickles.

He decided we don't need to change the duvet cover.

We're at a play and it's intermission and my husband just left and came back with a blanket wrapped around him?

I've gotten kind of good at pickleball and I started feeling very proud of myself until I remembered the thing I'm proud of is that I've gotten kind of good at pickleball.

Crawling I remember when West was about one month old thinking, "having a baby is actually not all that difficult." And I don't think I was wrong to believe that in that particular moment. This is where I'll ...
