About Us
Things I positively love~
my children, their children, rainy days, autumn leaves, kids books, vintage photographs, crochet hooks, old-old houses, sappy movies, Cheetoes, purple, Dr. Mario, stone fences, men with Scottish accents, cats, homemade slippers, porches, Hello Kitty…and ok, ok….I’ll admit it….Johnny Depp.
Things I can live without~
mean people, thorny weeds, sharks, coconut, spiders, alligators, eggplant, stingrays, aliens, snakes, pessimism, and anything in the larva phase.
That’s pretty much it….the rest of you can stay.
My favorite quote:
“Be nice or be quiet.”

Hi Launi,
I have been trying to contact you about your hypnobirthing classes, I am almost 19 weeks and was thinking of doing the fall course. I didn’t see anywhere that said you the location of your classes I just need to know what city so that I can clear it with my husband.
Let me know we would love to have you teach us the the techniques you have learned! You seem like the perfect ‘crafty’ mother and I love to look at your projects…I definately need the little lamb animal pattern you made for your grandkids it is too cute!
Email is probably the best way to contact me I would gratly appreciate any information you have about the class!
Thanks
Kayla

Hello Eduardas! Thank you so much for your sweet comments. Dane has told us how much he loves you and the branch. Thank you so much for being such a good friend to our boy. We miss him so much, but know he is in good hands when serving Heavenly Father. Thank you for helping to take care of him. Is there anything you need that we could send to you from Utah? We would love to help.
PS–Your English is lovely! :]
