Karen's Superheroes in the Relay for Life

This post in on behalf of wonderful people with a great cause. This is a family of givers and it is my honor to share their story and fight with you. Below is the the story of Karen Yutzy. Please read and if you feel inclined click on one of the links below and donate a little money to the cause.

A great thanks to Rachelle Kreie for providing the following story:

Many of you have heard of American Cancer Society. Many of you may have also heard of Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. If you haven't, Relay for Life is an all-night event where people walk around a track for 16 hours. The relayers collect donations from people, business, or wherever they can, for their Relay. All of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society to find a cure for cancer. Cancer will affect everyone. Reports now tell us that 1 out of every 2 men will get cancer and that 1 out of every 3 women will get cancer. Those are statistics that are right here at home, in the United States. That's not somewhere on the other side of the world. So, you or someone you know will hear the words, "You have cancer".



Karen Yutzy with one of her many grandchildren

Karen Yutzy was diagnosed with grade 2 astrocytoma brain cancer on June 6, 2006. She underwent surgery in November of 2006 for removal of some of her tumor and then underwent radiation therapy January and February of 2007. The radiation has left her disabled, with severe dizziness and vertigo among other neurological deficits. Karen had recurrence of her brain cancer in January 2012 and underwent removal of more of the tumor in March 2012. They were not able to remove the entire tumor, and radiation is not an option after a person has had radiation once.

Karen has 4 children, who are all married, and they have 10 grandchildren between all of them. This will be their 3rd year to participate in Relay for Life, in honor of Karen. Karen has close friends who have joined the team, too, and they have been able to have enough people to now form 2 teams.

Cancer makes the victim feel devastated. It makes their loved ones feel completely helpless. Participating in Relay for Life gives Karen's loved ones a chance to make a difference in the fight against cancer. If you or someone you know has been through cancer, help make a difference in the fight today. Every penny you donate will help to put an end to cancer, to see a world with more birthdays.

Yesterday while getting ready for church I had a dilemma and had to wonder- WWAD (what would Annie do)? I wanted to wear my cute new high heel sandals but my legs are still in winter condition - not ready to be seen in public, yet I can't stand wearing sandals with nylons, there's something about the toes looking like stuffed sausages peeking out of shoes that creeps me out. In the end I went with the sandals and no nylons (the people at church will just have to deal with their nightmares about my hideous legs in therapy). So I ask WWAD?

·

  I'm not opposed to going nylonless to church, but if you feel like you need nylons, which I most often do, I go with No Nonsense "Almost Bare" sandal toe in nude. So sheer you hardly know they are there, but you still get a little contol up top. Nice, right?

 Thanks for the question, Amanda:)

 Anyone else?

 You Sir, in the back with nylons on ur head...Security, get him out of here.

The Many Mysteries of Easter

Ever wonder why Reece's Peanut Butter Eggs taste better than Reece's Peanut Butter cups? Me too! If you are a long time reader of this blog, you may remember a version of this blog post appearing here a few years ago. Today, I am a featured blogger at MomsEveryday.com. Click here to read all about how Halloween may spooky, but Easter is the holiday most shrouded in mystery?

Life of Mormon Mom

Easy Easter Decorations

I had a great day with an even greater friend. It was one of those days that could only be made better by Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-a!  Together we were able to complete two craft projects. This Easter wreath and a mini Easter garden. My kids were so excited about the garden. They said, "Mom, do we get to keep it?" Valid question. The idea for the garden came from Pinterest. The orignial had grass on the hill, but I couldn't wait for greass seed to grow. I'm too impatient. I wanted this on my table now. So I opted for moss.

The Easter subway art came from a great blog called, "Today's Fabulous Finds." The blog author offers her subway art for free and features severals colors. So nice.

Pinterest Hair..plus some

I love scrolling through pins on Pinterest. In particular I love the hair and beauty pins. So I took a picture of my our "Pinterest hair." I was able to capture, quite accidently, my two favorite hair products: Pantene shampoo and conditioner and Freeze It hairspray, but next time...I'll crop the over-flowing laundry basket.

Mommy blogger turned TV personality

Who says that blogging is a waste of time and that you should be folding laundry and planning meals, grooming your ill-tamed eyebrows, feeding your pets (well, that is important) and alphabetizing your spice drawer?

(Let the horn tooting commence.) My mediocre little blog got me a job with the newspaper, then the radio station, and now I'm on TV.  I was just minding my own business, blogging about American Idol, how I rebuilt the Toothfairy's reputation, and how long I could go without shaving my legs until "Secret Agent Man" would notice and now I'm interviewing businesses during the local break of the Today Show about what they do to make mom's life easier.

Check out my first blog post here and then go fold the pets, I mean feed the laundry, I mean...ugh, never mind.

Mama's new kicks

 

I've been a Nike wearer for years. I love my Nikes, because I've never had any sort of foot problems during my workouts or hikes. But, when I saw these babies, I had to give them a try. They are super light-weight and I feel like I get the full range of motion when I run. No more Napolean Dynamite shuffle for me! Aside from the comfort and peformance, they look great. I'm too much of a Fancy Nancy to wear tennis shoes all day, but with my new Reeboks I don't feel like I'm sacrificing fashion for function. This may sound like a paid endorsement, trust me, it's not, but if Reebok would like to compensate me for my glowing endorsement, I'd happily accept a matching running shirt!

"What? You don't want broomstick insurance?!"

I did it! FHE Magnetic Assignment Board

Every Fall my church has a craft day called Super Saturday! I will be showing the churchies how to make this!

Yes! You can make homemade furniture polish.

A few months ago we took a trip down the California coastline. Our journey brought us to Hearst Castle, built by gagillionaire William Hearst in the early 1900's.

In the Refectory, or dining room as the simple folk like to call it, there is a long dining table reclaimed from a monastery. When I asked the tour guide how they got the table so shiny, he replied, "500 years of elbow grease." I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME!

I've never been completely happy with store-bought polish, so I went to the Internet(s) to see what the clever moms out there were doing to shine their furniture. Two simple ingredients. I couldn't belive it was that easy: lemon juice and olive oil. That's it. I used my microfiber glove to apply the mixture, always rubbing with the grain of the wood, a little tooth brush to get to the nooks and crannies while I was at it, and a soft, clean cloth the remove the excess. Just a few simple steps to homemade furniture polish. Works great, smells even better. Castle living can't get much easier!

Mother's Day Weekend DIY: The house with the blue door

UPDATE: Now I have my flowers planted! I am more in love with my door than ever. Whenever I am feeling "blue," I just go look at my door!

Now that I have retired from writing my Home and Garden column, I finally have time to do some of the things I've written about.

From Mega Greige to...

... Aerospace Blue.

I can hardly stand how much I love this color. It was leftover paint from my upstairs hallway. I hated it in the hallway and painted over it a few months later. I L.O.V.E. it on the frontdoor.

It took me less than two hours, with the bulk of the time being dedicated to taping off the glass and edges. I used sponge brushes for ease of application. My next project? Paint the backdoor the exact same color.

P.S. My blog is not dead yet, it's feeling better. It's feeling happy. I think it would like to take a walk. (Name that movie.)

I'll be signing books in Borders this week in San Diego. Not my own books, but I'll be signing them all the same. Bring one of your own for me to sign if you like, I'll provide the Sharpie!

In addition to doing laundry and packing for my "book tour," I am losing myself in this mini-series.

I can't decide which daughter I am more like, Molly or Cynthia.

I can't decide whether Netflix streaming video is the best or worst thing to ever happen to me.

I can't decide whether I should pack boots or flip-flops for San Diego.

Well, probably running shoes, once security catches me signing books, again, I'm gonna hafta make a run for it.

"Easy A" Sharpening Pencils

Because you didn't ask and you don't care, here is my second favorite scene from "Easy A."

"I gotta, I gotta, I gotta pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine!"

"Easy A" is easily the best comedy of 2010! I watched it three times. I love counting the 80's teen movie references. This was my favorite scene. Thanks Aubrey Annie for leading me there.

Try getting this out of yer head. Yer welcome!

My final column for the Home and Garden section of The Daily Sentinel

I’ve kept a faithful diary since I was thirteen. Over the years, for better or worse, my diary has morphed from book form to electronic- now consisting mostly of my blog, my Facebook wall, my Twitter account and this column.
When it wasn’t laced with teenage angst, my diary is a reminder of lessons learned. It’s been invaluable for me to look back and read some of the “bread crumbs on the trail of life” I have left for myself and my posterity.
I would like to share with you today (but it’s actually more of a reminder to myself), some of my best Home and Garden advice.

“When motivation is low, set a timer for 15 minutes and get to work.”
This advice is especially appropriate for this time of year when the “winter gloomies” set in. Sometimes household tasks can become too daunting. Setting a timer for fifteen minutes and committing yourself to stop working when the time is up keeps you from becoming too overwhelmed. Sometimes you find that once you have started working, you get into a zone and you don’t want to stop until the task is finished.
You would be surprised how much can be accomplished in a few fifteen-minute flashes of effort.
Kids are motivated by the timer, too. It becomes a fun competition for them to see what they can do in that amount of time. Speaking of kids…

“Household maintenance is not a one-woman show.”
This has become truer for me in the past few months. Transitioning from SAHM to working mother, I’ve had to rely more on my 12-year-old twin sons and their 9-year-old sister for the day-to-day upkeep of our home. Cleaning the kitchen is now (almost) solely their responsibility, along with the cleaning of their rooms and bathroom. Mom works, dad works, the kids need to work too.
Teach children early that they are a part of a family and as a part of the family they have responsibilities in the family home. As toddlers I had my kids mopping floors, folding towels, and running little errands for me in the house. I now reap the rewards of having helpful, independent, older children.

“Life is not a Pottery Barn Catalog”
One of the goals of my column has been to bring the joy back into homemaking, which includes reminding people that home doesn’t have to look like, as I like to call it, a “Lottery Farm” catalog.
I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from purchasing things from the “Lottery Farm,” I would just like to dissuade someone from thinking that they have to, in order to be happy. An item for item recreation of page eighty-six is not necessary.
That picture of perfection is not real. It’s a set. It’s as real as an airbrushed cover girl. She is not that thin, her hair is not that full and her skin is not that flawless.
Real homes, happy homes, practical homes are not that clean, not that orderly, and not that perfect, because what is missing from that photo set is the family.
What makes a house a home isn’t the over-sized glass decanter filled with corks. It’s not a couch covered with so many pillows there is no place to sit. It’s the people that eat, sleep, laugh, and leave their socks on the floor that make it a home. It’s the people that bounce the basketball in the kitchen. It’s the people who leave a trail of backpacks, coats, and shoes from the front door to the couch that make a home.

“Quit while you’re ahead.”
The dishes are done, the laundry is folded, sure, the pantry could use some organization, but as my mentor, Erma Bombeck, so famously said,
“Cleaning the house while kids are still growing is like, shoveling the walk while it’s still snowing.”
There are always going to be chores to do, but your children aren’t always going to want to play video games with you. Know when to say “when.” Stop and enjoy the family and home you have now.
And that’s exactly what I plan on doing.
This will be my last article for the Home and Garden section. It’s time for me to turn the page of my diary and enjoy a little more the family, home, and life I have right now. I want to thank my faithful readers for their love and encouragement over the past four years. Perhaps I’ll grace the pages of The Daily Sentinel again someday, but for now…

Dear Diary,
Today is going to be a good day.

This blog has not been abandoned...

...it just looks like it has.

But, just like the spring rains bring life back to the desert, American Idol will breathe life back into this barren wasteland of a blog once again.

I present the continuation of Anniethology's most popular posts, "Idol, Whooz Ur Daddy?!" created exclusively for and by anniethology.blogspot.com.

Here is a look back at some of our greatest hits!

P.S. JLo, I love you. You are forever my flygirl. See you tonight.

Anniethology Holiday Gift Guide for Homies

One of my greatest pleasures is to recommend something I that I love, and have the “recommendee” love it too.
Allow me to recommend to you this gift guide for the “Homie” (Home and Garden enthusiast) on your life. I have created two lists: A list of things that I love and a list of things I would like to love.
Things I Love
· The Dyson has been my vacuum of choice for seven years. Many family members, friends, and readers have purchased the Dyson on my recommendation, without regret, despite the $400-$500 price tag. That may seem like a lot, but if you take into consideration the years of highly effective, nearly maintenance-free operation, it’s well-worth its cost.

Recently, though, my Dyson has suffered a setback and will need a trip to the Dyson doctor. I have yet to coerce a confession from the Payne children-perhaps a brighter light bulb in the interrogation lamp is needed- but all I know for sure is that someone in vacuumed up something wet and sticky, which is not recommended for optimal suction and contrary rules of regular operation. I am hoping for good news from the Dyson doc; I’ll let you know the prognosis.

· Would you like to take some of the drudgery out of cooking and cleaning for your favorite homie? How about making her look and feel adorable as she cleans the toilets or chops the veggies?

I recommend an apron and coordinating rubber gloves from “Diva Aprons.” Feminine styles, fun fabrics, and the fact that they are reversible, set them apart from other aprons. Use one side of the apron for cleaning and then flip it around for when you do the cooking.

Michele S., creator and head seamstress extraordinaire of “Diva Aprons” has combined with purveyor of handbags, belts, and jewelry, Amanda B. of “The Western Diva” to form a unique boutique store-within-a-store called, “The Two Divas.” Their boutique located inside of Real Deals on Hwy. 6 & 50, has its grand opening today. Talk about a one-stop holiday shopping for the domestic diva in your life.

· Being a woman who hates to have a lot of miscellany on her countertops, I recommend, the Caldrea Kitchen Caddy from Target. This simple, yet sophisticated cleaning caddy priced at $20, comes with hand soap, counter cleaner, and dish soap. It’s available in several scents, but I recommend the citron ginger. With its simple styling and kitchen friendly fragrance, you won’t mind it gracing your countertops.

Things I Would Like to Love
These next two items come highly recommended from a friend and fellow “homie.” If I am a good girl, perhaps next year they will make it onto the list of things I already love. (Note to Secret Agent Man: This is the part where you should make the most of your photographic memory.)

· The Shark Easy and Light Steam Mop enables you to clean quickly and simply and sanitize your hard floor surfaces. It’s available at Bed Bath and Beyond for $69.99. More expensive models are also available for the over-achieving gift giver.

· The Rowenta Pro Compact Steamer, also available at Bed Bath and Beyond and costs $50, takes wrinkles out of clothes and curtains with this lightweight, easy-to-use steamer. It heats up in just two minutes. No more excuses sending the kiddos out the door in wrinkled t-shirts and jeans. Just fire up the steamer and blast the wrinkles into oblivion. Not recommended for use while the kids are wearing the clothes, by the way.

Whether you chose one of the products I love for your “homie” for Christmas or one of the products I would like to love, one thing I know for sure is that no one has ever regretted taking my advice.

For more information about “The Two Divas” check out their websites: Domesticdivaaprons.com and Westerndivahandbags.com.

The More the Merrier: What to do with multiple Christmas trees.

As seen in the Home of Garden section of The Daily Sentinel, Saturday, December 4, 2010. Sorry, no pictures, from the actual article; the newspaper owns them.









A year ago I wrote a column entitled, "What does your Christmas tree say about you?" Said column brought me instant fame and glory; in Manitoba. It also acquainted me with Darrell Jones. He sent me an e-mail to inquire if he had multiple Christmas trees, what did that say about him? Multiple personalities?
When you think of someone who puts up more than one tree each year, perhaps you think are cuckoo for Christmas or a tree hoarder, and those types of people are out there, but Mr. Jones is not one of them. After visiting his home this week, I would consider him a prime example of how to do multiple trees in a classy, understated way, if decorating multiple trees in your house could be called, “understated.”
The decision process to put up more than one tree is not that different from whether or not to have pet. Can you afford it? Do you have room for it? Who will take care of it?
Speaking of pets, Jones’ dog, Jagger, doesn’t seem to mind the extra company during the holidays, when I asked Jones about it, he said that his faithful Golden Retriever never bothers his collection of trees.
Jones has nine, in fact; four trees in the house and five trees outside. He started this tradition several years ago, when he was working as a building manager and was decorating trees for the building lobby and tenants. The habit just sort of stuck. Friends, co-workers, and now columnists, appreciate his efforts as he hosts several holiday parties during the Christmas season to show-off his collection.
Jones starts out with a theme. This year, his trees are white, each with a different color of ornaments and lights. The largest, and most impressive, tree stands in the center of the front room. It has gold ornaments with white lights. One of the most eye-catching is a sunburst ornament he picked up in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The tree in the corner of the kitchen has red ornaments, including chili peppers, and red lights. The tree in his dining room, the smallest of the four, has green and blue ornaments with green lights, and finally the tree in the boudoir, which strays from the theme because it’s green, casts an inviting glow with gold lights and white ornaments.
When I asked if there’s a possibility of more trees in the future and where he would draw the line, he answered,
“I don’t think there is a line, as long as it doesn’t look cluttered. He added,
“If there is a line, I just don’t know where it is.”
Jones has a no-furniture-moving policy when it comes to setting up the trees or deciding where they will go. This keeps the collection under control.
Here are some of Jones’ tips for setting up multiple trees and creating your own winter wonderland:

Start off with a small cluster of trees where you would usually set up your single tree. Perhaps that would be a little less intimidating than trying to decide which empty corner to fill in your house.
To keep the trees from looking overloaded he suggests making sure each ornament has room to hang properly as opposed to sitting on the branch below.
He takes a stand-back-and-look approach, when hanging the ornaments. Hang a few, then stand back and look, and make adjustments as needed.
Jones also suggests making sure the lights are hung uniformly with equal distance between each row of strands. When asked if there was anything he absolutely would not put on his trees, the answer was “blinking lights.” He thinks they look cheap.
The final bit of advice Jones gave is to not let Christmas decorations linger longer than they should. He carefully stores is trees and ornaments on January 2nd. No fail.
So what do Darrell Jones’s trees say about him? They say, as long as it’s done in a tasteful way, “The more the merrier.”

She's just doing her best as a wife and mother to young children, in the fight for her life. Show both of these wonderful ladies some comment love today, would ya?

Daring to Dine with Color

I am the type of person that doesn’t need to be talked into color. I need to be talked out of it. If I had my way, it would look like Rainbow Brite painted my house.
In our last home, I experimented with color (to the chagrin of Secret Agent Man) a lot. I had a “Vigorous Violet” master bathroom and a “Chinese Red” wall in the kitchen, and a “Victorian Rose” front door.
Currently at the House of Payne, I’ve dialed back the experimentation quite a bit. “Accessible Beige” has dominated nearly every square inch for six years. It’s a great neutral color, but I decided it’s time to spice things up in my dining room.
This time I enlisted the help of recent Interior Design graduate, Erica Burgon. I needed someone with an education in color theory and good taste to bounce my ideas off.

I appreciate her design philosophy that “if you love it, it works!”
One thing she noticed right off the bat was that the off-white walls of our dining room didn’t lend anything to the feel or look of the room.

Burgon said, "Design should reflect who you are.”

She noted we are a fun family with a busy life, who enjoy being together. She also knew of my desire to give the Payne’s a beautiful and formal place to congregate, in a house that is usually littered with jackets, shoes, backpacks, and more soda cans than this columnist would like to admit.

“I want to help you discover your flair for design,” she said. And with that she pulled out her color sample fan deck and we set to the task of choosing a wall color that would set a mood and make a statement that would enhance the room and not be a distraction.

She first introduced me to some recent color trends:
· Bold brights that make a traditional home and pieces look more unique and add an eclectic element, like: tomato red, berry magenta, deep apricot, exotic coral and peacock blue.
· Complex neutrals that you can’t pin down with a single word, like: bluish, greenish, or pinkish beige. These colors are inspired by natural woods and hand-dye fabric. The new neutrals tend to be more refined than raw.
· Turquoise and clear, light blue continue to be popular colors in home design. Paired with white for a clean combination or set off with red for contrast, the blue family won’t be going anywhere soon.

I considered all the color trends Burgon presented when picking a paint color. I even took into consideration that my feng shui practitioner told me that my dining room was located in the wealth quadrant of my home and according to Asian tradition, purple was the color of wealth.

Erika steered me away from using purple on the walls, but knowing my need for “good chi,” she promised to bring in the purple through a floral arrangement for the table.

We finally decided to use one of the “complex neutrals.” We chose a color in the same family as “Accessible Beige,” just a few shades darker, a greenish taupe called “Virtually Taupe,” from Sherwin Williams.

After a cumulative eight hours of labor, including shopping for paint and accessories and an overall cost of $150, I am in love with my spicier, more sophisticated, formal dining room.
With Erica Burgon’s help, I took my dining room from drab to fab. Now, if Rainbow Brite shows up for dinner, she’s going to have to ditch the multi-colored leg warmers for something a little more formal.
