Fort Collins Temple Cultural Celebration
The journey to the Cultural Celebration was an emotional roller coaster. So many lows, so many amazing highs. I’m still trying to process it all but one thing is for sure, it’s an experience I will never forget. I received a letter in March via email from George Rhodes, a member of the Seventy and…
Family Pics at Golden Gate Bridge
We were trying to get on the road as fast as possible. Rusty went to get the rental car at 7am and I finished up some last minute packing. Rusty scored a sweet parking spot right in front of our house. We couldn’t believe our good luck. I was upstairs getting some suitcases and came…

Hi Everyone,This is Rusty- I’m hijacking the family blog for some Blog Frog testing, hope you don’t mind. Lately I’ve found myself visiting someones blog and wanting to just say hi, or say something that didn’t really relate to a blog post. Or I’ve stumbled upon an old friends blog and I would want to…

Valentine’s Day Fun
A couple of days before Valentine’s Day Halle and I hosted a cookie decorating party. The kids all had a blast and you should have seen the piles of sprinkles that went on these cookies! We ordered some pizzas as well so the kids were in heaven. Pizza, frosting, sprinkles and sugar cookies. What could…

My mom used to make my brothers hug each other in the middle of the family room for like a minute if they were fighting. Best punishment ever 🙂
We had to “kiss and make up” or go to time out. Parenting 101, I guess.
So I need to borrow your FHE lesson on being nice to each other. Landon and Dayton are currently grounded from everything due to fighting…..what’s wrong with me?? I’m a terrible parent!
Companies can misbehave too. Take a step towards transparency from the companies who profit from your blog writing by NOT writing April 15, 2010.
Let private companies like Lijit and public one’s like Google know: you know they have not been transparent about what they make from our blogs; what % they share with US, the people creating the content they use and re-sell at great profit.
If you can’t keep your fingers from working on April 15th, 2010, then ask companies like Lijit, Google, or any other currently profiting from you blog this basic question:
What do you make from my work? What % are you sharing with me?
Your UNION, P.U.B., Publisher’s Union of Bloggers, has asked these simple questions from companies such as Lijit and Google, and they have either not answered (Google) or used personal attacks and threatened legal action against P.U.B. and its members (Lijit).
Why? Google, Lijit, and other’s profiting from publishers plan on there being no power among independent, freethinking writers. 'They will never act as a group, never ask us to be transparent, we can pay them whatever we want, if anything'
Is your creative work worth asking this simple question?
Then ask it, April 15th, 2010, and tell your publishing peers to ask for it too.
Keep up the good work,
Barney
