I found your blog through instagram. I know some mutual friends from high school in St. George. You are such a lovely mama. Keep up the good work! Your blog is so refreshing and uplifting to look at.
allybench – – – instagram is such a fun place. Thank you for your kindness + welcome to our blog, I’m so glad you’re here I’m guessing you maybe know the patten’s from st george? If so, they are such a lovely bunch. Some of my very favorite people in the world. xx
Yes- I went to school with Erica. I didn’t know her very well, but we lived in the same Stake and have some mutual friends that she did cheer with. I played tennis. I’ve been following her blog since she started it before Ivy was born. I found your sister’s cute store in Instagram too. It makes the world such a small place. My family is moving up north this June- we thought we’d live in sunny southern Utah forever- and it’s nice to know there are girls my age up there that are raising their kids and trying to do what’s right. Anyway, thanks for writing back! 🙂
