- Gardening. I am in no way a green thumb. My mom and dad are very talented in this area and perhaps it will decide to run in the family. So far I have a mostly alive flower that I got over a month ago--quite the feat. Soon-ish I will plant seeds for some pretty wildflowers and vegetables in my back yard. I will of course document my success/failure on our domestic goddess blog.Wish me luck.
- Family history- I have taken genealogy classes at BYU and so this isn't my first time around the block. Now that I kind of know what I'm doing, I just need to do it. I have the time, so no excuses.
- Reading- This should not be a "new" hobby, but it feels like it is. I feel like reading history books for school is not leisurely at all and so I think that recreational reading will be good for me. I have a couple of books I bought at the Provo Library's sale, and I also think I want/need to read the Hunger Games. Any other suggestions?
We'll look back and laugh at ourselves

Stay at home mommy
Because I have the wonderful privilege to stay at home with Julia (and now that school is out for the summer) I have decided to take up some new hobbies to pass the time.
