Need I say more? : )

This is an addicting little sign. (For those of you not familiar, it's Pinterest ). It is an online pinboard where you can organize and share things you love.

This is my Friday Favorite to share with you.

Due to the combination of the holidays and changes on my home front, I haven't been "pinning" lately, at all. Yesterday, I snuck in a moment. So many amazing ideas!

But I give warning... give yourself a page limit, otherwise your time is swiftly soaked into all the eye candy of food, flowers, outfits, projects and such. : )

So, if you "pin", a little shout out. If you don't or never have... give it a shot!

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend!

Okay.... are you ready for this? My Friday Favorites.

I love, love, love growing my own flowers and veggies and it's about this time of year when you start to maybe get a little cabin fever and your craving those yummy warm summer days and you know that it is only a matter of time. Right? Yeah!

Time... that's when I pull out my trays, my lights, the little green house and of course the seeds. It always helps move time along when I get to focus on what flowers I should grow this year and where should I put this flower and oh...um wouldn't that be pretty here, maybe I should buy a few more pots, which of course equals more flowers. Wow! I'm playing the imagination game in my head and I better get busy and the next thing you know it's May and you have to put those babies in the ground. Awesome! :)

Exciting right? Hold on, it gets better. Once you have planted your cute tiny seed into it's container, you get to watch it grow and see what its going to turn out to look like. Once those little seeds grow then its time to transplant and then they are big enough that they could go right outside into your cute portable greenhouse...they are awesome.

I'm sure I could go on and on, but I think that you get the idea. It's my second year growing my own flowers and veggies and I love it and I think it is so fun.

What do you love?

Love the weekends! Happy day!

Happy Birthday Teri!!

2012-01-28T22:38:00.002-07:00

Today is Teri's birthday. She is the beautiful one in the middle. Instead of "Friday Favorites", I decided to share a couple of my favorite things about Teri. She is the oldest of us five kids, and has been such a great example to each of us. She is so organized and on top of things. You would never guess she has 5 kids of her own because she looks amazing. She is a great friend, she has always been there for me when I've needed her. I have two amazing sisters, I am so grateful! I luv ya Teri...hope you've had a great day! xo

Thinking Spring....

Yes, I realize we really are still right smack dab in the middle of winter (with no snow to show for it, btw), but there is nothing better than brightening a dull grey winter day with the thoughts of the bright lively colors spring.

Spring truly is a favorite time with everything coming back to life, all the beautiful colors.... which got me thinking. What are the "colors" for 2012?? (which, honestly, I'm not really sure who gets to be the one that decides what those are??)

Well, if you were wondering (about the colors that is), here they are!!!

And top of that list.... Tangerine! Who knew?!

Fun and cheery right!! Doesn't it make you so excited for Spring and all the fun things you can wear as well as the fun projects that you could do to incorporate these colors!

Well, to help you out in the "accessory" department for your little girl, here are some headband and bow ideas to help get you started...

Knit Fabric Bud Headband

Knit Chiffon Bow Headband

Knit Grosgrain Bow Headband

Cotton Chiffon Headband

Wow, the Holidays were great and like usual they seem to fly and then sadly they are all over and it's back to school, work and life as we know it. So, here we are...umm...perhaps a little behind, but back in the swing of things and our "Friday Favorites".

A favorite of mine is a fresh start and I do love a New Year, although I don't necessarily have any set New Years resolutions, I think I just like the mind set of being better and trying to improve on things that I would like to see happen differently this year than last year. As I venture into the New Year I kind of like to see what life brings and what new choices and happenings come along.

Who knows? A happy one! :)

What are some of your fresh starts and New Years resolutions? Care to share?

Have a happy weekend!

This time of year can be so magical! If you look past all the hustle and bustle of the crowds, the traffic and the grumpy people and look at this time of year through a child's eyes, it is so fun. I have a 3 year little boy who is so excited for Christmas. He wants EVERYTHING for Christmas and is so excited for Santa to bring him toys. I love reading him our favorite Christmas stories and sharing with him the "true" meaning of Christmas. I hope you stop for a moment and enjoy this time of year. Spend time with your family and friends and just take it all in.

What has become a big time favorite at our house, for my kids especially, is Hot Chocolate!

We have gone from the standard "milk chocolate fix" to an assortment of flavors and add-ins.

We had a little Christmas gathering this past week and put together a whole
"Hot Chocolate Bar" spread....
which, by the way, was really fun and easy to put together!

To not complicate the chocolate flavors for this particular night, we stuck with the milk chocolate hot chocolate and did all of our 'jazzing up' with the add-ins...

We had whip cream, marshmellows, candy canes for basic starters and then also had hot tamales, m&m's, white chocolate dipped marshmellows with sprinkles or peppermint candy, donut holes and the big favorite, caramel white chocolate dipped spoons with sprinkles! Yum!

So... maybe this weekend, shake it up a little and give it a try.
Cozy up to the fire with a hot cup of cocoa... maybe a new flavor and some new add-ins.

Friday's Thankful...

2011-11-18T16:04:00.003-07:00

I thought I would share what I am thankful for this week. I have the most amazing family and am so thankful for each of them. I was raised by wonderful parents who I love dearly. I have two sisters, that I adore. They are my best friends and I don't enjoy living far away from them. I have two brothers that are great examples and I know if I ever need anything, they will be there. We are each blessed with beautiful children and spouses. This time of year really helps you reflect on how fortunate we are.

We are thankful to each of you and we hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!

That's what I'm talking about!

So these are a couple of my favorite soups. The 1st bowl is Chicken Tortilla soup and the 2nd bowl is a Creamy Corn Chowder.

Halloween is so fun for my 3 year old. He likes the decorations around our house and on neighbors yards. He was very excited for his preschool Halloween party. He and his friends all got to dress up and parade around the school trick-or-treating. He looked so cute in his "Captain America" costume! I love the built in muscles!

After the parade, they all went back to the classroom and had LOTS of treats. It was sugar overload for sure. I liked the "Buzz" costume next to Bentley, his wings were blown up...too cute!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Favorites

2011-10-07T11:34:00.012-06:00

This would have to be my favorite holiday of the whole year. Yep....oh, I love Halloween and these

candy pumpkins only make the holiday that much better.

Or I would even be happy with this combo.

Either way you win, but there is a down fall around here, you have to be quick and purchase

these little goodies fast because the closer you get to Halloween they all start to disappear and

then you get a little mad because you should have bought more and then you get sad because

they are gone and you have to wait until next year.

Yep...... love these cute pumpkin candies. My Favorite!

So get to your store and buy enough pumpkin candies to make you happy all month long.

Happy weekend!

I mentioned last time I posted that we totally redid my daughters room for her 12th birthday. I thought it would be fun to post the BEFORE and AFTER shots. It was a huge change, we painted the entire room, she went from a twin bed to a queen sized bed. We painted furniture and we changed the room so it has a more "grown-up" feel. She LOVES it, so do I. I am thrilled at how it all turned out, and so glad she is happy with it.

The favorite for me this Friday is my garden.... or more better yet, harvesting my garden.

We put in raspberry starters a couple of years ago and they have completely taken over. Raspberries are everywhere and we are loving them! Plain, toppled over vanilla ice cream, made into jam.... whichever way—they are delicious!

We have also enjoyed the tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc. Everything tastes so fresh.
Grilling the veggies on kabobs has been a weekly event (at least).

Last, but definitely not least, have been the herbs. My personal favorite has been basil.
Yum, yum! Chopped with tomatoes and red onions... made into a bruschetta!
Delicious!

Hope you are enjoying the "harvest" either from your own garden or your local farmer's market.
Happy Weekend!

School is well on its way and, in fac,t around here the change of Season is well on its way. We are moving into Fall. Like it or not, here it comes and let's just cross our fingers for a long and enjoyable Fall ...please. :)

So, that brings me to this weeks Friday Favorites.

Look at how cute these little girl Soda shoes are. A Favorite and super cute on. The perfect shoe for Fall and they would even be perfect rolling into winter. The hard part will be choosing your color. The Sodas are very similar to Toms, but for me I prefer the look of the toe on the Sodas, as well as the price. I have yet to purchase, but my Clare sure likes them.

Happy, enjoyable weekend!

This Friday is extra special at my house...today is my daughter's 12th birthday. I know everyone says this, but time flies and I can't believe my oldest is 12. She was born on 9/9/99...she has an awesome birth date. She is such a sweet girl! She is very thoughtful of others and is willing to help out around the house. She can be a quiet as a church mouse or as loud as a lion.

She is so excited about this birthday because we have totally re-done her room. She will get the reveal later today. I'll post the before and after pics later. So, in honor of Natalia's birthday, enjoy your Friday and eat some cake!

Sorry, if you have desperately missed our weekly posts and we are striving to keep you up on the latest and greatest happening in our neck of the woods.
So we've missed a couple of Friday Favorites and you might be wondering, where did they go? or What happened? Well, first off, it's the end of the Summer and you've got to get in that last little bit of Summer fun. Then today was our first day of school, which is always a little crazy as you are rounding up school supplies, buying new shoes and some new clothes. You might have to run by the grocery store and pick up some school lunch snacks and probably some extra bread for all those sandwiches that you will be making every morning for the next 8 months.
Oh, wow! School! I'm on the fence about school starting, it's a love-hate situation.

Anyways, continuing on, I've had some computer issues, but who hasn't...right? So, I have a new computer, and to be honest I'm not super computer smart to get my new computer up and running the way I want, so I kind of have to wait for my husband, which is great, but takes a little more time. I'm also working on getting a new photo shop installed and that takes time and is where all my photos are.

I think that life itself can be crazy-busy from time to time.

So, that's a little bit of what is or isn't going on here in our neck of the woods and why you haven't been able to enjoy our awesome weekly updates and Friday Favorites.

Hang Tight! We'll have some more posts soon.

I am SO excited that today is Friday because tomorrow I get to go see my sisters. The three of us run Belle Trousseau, but I live 6 hours away from them. I don't get to see them as much as I would like, so I anticipate my visits with them. This weekend we are meeting in St. George at our parent's home. We will all have some little people with us, but at least we'll be together. We'll swim, shop and on Monday night we get to take our girls to see Little Mermaid at Tuachan. It will be a fun packed weekend. I can't wait!! There is nothing like my sweet sisters!!

Okay, so we are going with the actual phrase "Friday (is the) Favorite"..... because Friday really is a favorite, especially this week.

You think that summer arrives and the schedule will slow down and you'll be able to soak up all the time with family and friends. Yes, it rids the time filled with helping kids with homework and assignment deadlines, but the time gets absorbed into so many other things. It's been a busy week and late nights, each day rolling right into the next. So I am super "WOO HOO" for today being Friday and knowing that we have a pretty chill weekend ahead.... going to soak up that time, relax and enjoy! You too, okay!! : )

Snow cones, shaved ice, Hawaiian ice, a yummy cool frozen treat, it doesn't matter what you call it. There is nothing better in the Summer than one of these and we like to call it a snow cone. As a child growing up I don't remember there being so many flavor options and they have these creme combos mixes, but without fail I always end up with my favorite, tigers blood. Love it!

Doesn't that look yummy?

Wow, I just might need to run over to my nearest snow cone stand and get me one.

Enjoy your Summer, school is right around the corner. :(

Friday's Yummy Favorite

2011-07-15T22:50:00.002-06:00

My sister-in-law is visiting and made this YUMMY salsa for us for dinner. Black bean salsa...you'll be hooked when you start eating. It's also super easy to make. Great snack, side or add to your tacos. Have a great weekend!

Black Bean Salsa Recipe

1 can black beans

1 can corn

diced roma tomatoes to taste

small red onion

1 avocado

1 package of dry italian seasoning mix

Mix all together and serve with tortilla chips

Okay.... the "summer time" clock throws off the days here and there and so once again we find ourselves posting on Saturday. Oh well, I guess better late than never : )

So my family had the opportunity to go to Lake Powell this past week over the 4th of July holiday (btw—Happy 4th!).

Lake Powell is a very favorite thing for our family. We try to go down once a year. We missed being able to go last year, so were super excited to be able to go this year with a couple of other families.

It's always a great time at the lake! Love the "get away", the warmth of the sun and water and being able to relax and play with my kids and my hubby.

Where is your favorite place to go in the summer?

Working in my yard is definitely a favorite for me. I love, love, love tinkering around in my yard and making it all pretty and on the plus side I find it relaxing.

I also grew most of my own veggies and flowers from seed this year. Very cool! ;)

It seems like every year we have an outdoor DIY project and I probably have a little influence on creating or perhaps making those DIY project come to life. The work is always hard and crappy at times, but I sure love the end results. So, this year my project was taking our shed from the concrete pad on the left and moving it to where it now sits now, next to the fence.

We had to build a little retaining wall and fill it with dirt because the grass slops there.

Anyways, doesn't it look good!

Afterwards we asked ourselves why we hadn't put it there in the first place. Love it!

Do you have any fun or not so fun DIY projects your doing?

This year I planted tons of Zinnia's around my yard and I love them. Yummy!

Well, there you have it a little sneak peak into my yard and a favorite of mine.

Hope Summer is happy and hot and have a great 4th of July weekend.

I am loving summer! No schedule, kids playing happily together (most of the time), warm weather, playing outside and swimming. We've been able to play in several pools so far this summer and love being in the water. My kids are soaking up the sun and improving their cannonballs. Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Look what I found at Costco! By the way if you don't want to spend any money don't go to Costco. I swear ever time we go in there we come out with stuff we didn't plan on getting.

So, look what I bought!

Homemade ice cream machine.

I love homemade ice cream, definitely a favorite and I think a Summer must have. When I was growing up we would go over to my Aunts house and she would make us yummy homemade ice cream and then we would add raspberries to it. Yummy! :)

This was a treat because it only happened ever once in a while so when we had it, it was good.

Now I can have homemade ice cream whenever I want. Awesome!

Nothing goes better with homemade ice cream than, well, I think nothing goes better with homemade ice cream than raspberries and strawberries.

Here's my little raspberry and strawberry patch and now all I need is for them to grow, so I can enjoy homemade ice cream with my home grown raspberries and strawberries.

I'm a little excited and it's all a fun favorite Summer treat.

Happy Summer weekend!

The end is here!

2011-06-01T13:13:00.005-06:00

That's right, the end of the school year is here. CRA-ZY!

We've been busy around here with singing programs, dance festivals and all of those end of the school year events. We only have 2 days left and then I guess Summer official begins. My 2 little cute monsters here are now that much bigger and I've decided that the older your kids get the faster the year goes by. Kind of sad actually. :(

Now what are we going to do?

Any fun Summer plans out there?

Well, lets see I know we will be keeping up on our reading and some homework to keep my kids smart...at least I'll be trying anyways. I know that there will be late nights and days spent at the pool and definitely we will be hanging with our family and friends. Hmm....

Well, it's a start. Right?

Well, good luck and let the games and kids home all day begin. ;)

A Trip!

Definitely a favorite!

Definitely the beach!

I love the beach, the water and the sun. Hmm....the sun, something we haven't seen much here at home in Utah. We have crazy rainy cool temperatures. How's your weather?

A little crazy too?

So it was a real treat heading to warmer weather in Cancun, Mexico.

We spent our "lazy" days walking the beach, reading our books pool side and definitely catching some "warm" sun.

Very nice! :)

Hanging out by the main pool was also pretty entertaining with all sorts of resort activities from water aerobics, to dancing, and even a little soccer ball competition.

In the evenings there were shows and bands playing into the night and its always nice when everything is all inclusive. We Like!

It's always nice to get out of town for a little while, but

then its always nice to come home. Good memories and a nice warm break!

Happy weekend!

More new stuff...

2011-05-16T12:11:00.005-06:00

A week ago we mentioned that our new 4th of July product was up. We are loving the styles and getting ready for all our summer celebrations.

We wanted to make mention of another new item that is up online

This is our knit double-bud headband.

A little different from our double fabric-flower headband, but a little softer,more delicate style. As with all our product, it's available in all our great knit colors.

I LOVE the cute things little boys do. They want so much to be like their Dad. They want to wear ties, help wash the car, work in the yard, and shave like their Dad. My little guy got to "shave" like his Dad this week. He thought it was so funny to put shaving cream on and then wipe it off his face. I'm glad my boys are still young. Enjoy the cute things your little ones do...they grow-up too fast!

This week I thought it was appropriate to give my Friday Favorites homage to Mother's Day.

Not that it's my favorite holiday, although the extra added measure of helping out and "Sure Mom, no problem" answers are definitely an added bonus!

But my "favorite" is being a Mom. Yes, it has it's share of ups and downs, no doubt. But really, when all is said and done, no other job in the whole world is more rewarding (and trying and crazy and satisfying and enlightening and heart warming) than being a "Mom".

I have five kids.... I love how much they are the same, but how they are completely different. I love seeing them grow and interact. I love how the help me see the better things in life... they notice the small, simple things.

My oldest just turned "20"! (yes, it's kind of freaking me out) and my youngest is 7.... Oh wow, how time does fly! It was yesterday, I swear, that my oldest was 7!

There may be lots of days that we'd like to throw in the towel and call it good. But soak it up, enjoy each moment because yours will be 20 before you know it too!! : )

Happy Mother's Day!
Enjoy all the extra love, attention and "sure mom" replies!

Who doesn't love shoes? I love, love, love shoes and they make me happy. If I could I would buy shoes all the time....hmm....a new shoe for every day of the week. :)

I love shoes!

I just got these new Sanuk shoes and they are so comfy and light weight. I thought that they would be a perfect shoe to throw on with just about anything, shorts, capris and jeans and if you are having crazy-all over the place kind of weather like we are...one day it's snowing, then it's nice and sunny warm, and the next it's cold n' rainy. See, so they are perfect for whatever and whenever and even come in other colors too.

Maybe I should buy another pair. ;)

Have a HAPPY weekend!

Easter Success!

2011-04-26T09:14:00.013-06:00

Easter was a success! Yes, the gifts were bought, the candy...including that chocolate bunny was purchased, the clothes were ironed and the dress and bow were made just in time. A success!

Oh, and of course they loved it all!

We had to include those Easter eggs where ever we could.

Then it was off to Grandma's house.

Round 2

Yep, they hit the jack pot here too. Every year Grandma Karen does an awesome Easter egg hunt along with a few gifts and this year she only packed up about "400" eggs. CRazY!

Again, they all love every minute.

Calvin sitting here with his best buddy Gage.

Look his basket, okay his bucket, is on overload and he was trying to sit down for pictures without spilling, but he did anyways.

Good try!

Too many eggs!

Not to bad! All and all it was a GREAT day and even the crazy weather around here held out so we could be outside. Good luck with all that sugar. Until next year. :)

If any of you have cute Easter pics that you would like to share we would love to see them and post them on our blog.

One on my favorite things is watching my kids play the piano. They have been playing for 1 1/2 years and are playing quite well. My 7 year old, really enjoys playing his favorites for others. He will ask just about anyone that comes over if he can play for them. He plays in front of his music class at school all the time and this past week, played in front of a LARGE crowd in Disneyland. We happened to walk by a little restaurant on main street and heard a gentleman playing the piano. We stopped to listen and show my kids how good he was. When the man finished his song, my little boy asked if he could play a song for him. It was AWESOME! I couldn't have been more proud!

What ya Doin?

2011-04-19T13:53:00.010-06:00

What ya doin? Well, I found myself this morning painting my toes.... because we are going to Mexico for our 10th Anniversary. Yes, I'm a little excited, but that isn't what I should really be focused on right now.

There are only 5 days left until Easter!

I have 2 empty baskets that need to be filled and unfortunately, they aren't going to fill themselves. I'm really not on the ball.

So, here's what I'm thinking...Tangled, sidewalk chalk, maybe a jump rope, big chocolate bunnies, a pair of earrings, you can find them here :), maybe some clothes and loads of Easter candy to rot out my kids teeth. Perfect! Okay, I may play around with some of these ideas, but I'm close.

Any other suggestions?

Good Luck with all of your Easter events!

Wrapping our Spring Break, we decided to check out the new movie

It was cute. Good to have a show that the whole family can go to
(the movie selections lately seem to be slim-pickings, kind of a bummer).

But to give a true "Favorite" for this Friday, my vote goes for

Love this move! Funny, sweet, action-packed, an all-around great movie choice. One that is referred to as "a definite purchase".

What is a favorite of yours?

SpRinG BreAk

2011-04-12T13:01:00.008-06:00

In our little neck of the woods.... it's SpRinG BreAk! Our ventures this year will be close to home.... a "stay"cation, as they say.

So after a number of votes and requests from our kids we finally narrowed the week down to some realistic, reasonable activities to do. We decided on activities for M, W, F, so that Dad can balance "play" time and "work" time.

Yesterday started our ventures. We found a great place in Provo called Lowe's Air Sports

Lots of jumping and running and fun. It was loads of fun and my kids did not want to leave!

As the evening rolled around we met up with family for some bowling and yummy pizza afterwords.

I must say, sometimes the simple, easy things really are just as fun as the big and extraordinary.... the best thing is spending the time together.

Here's to the rest of the week!

My Fuzzy Jar

2011-04-05T11:21:00.007-06:00

This is my fuzzy jar and my new best friend. I have one for my girl-y Clare and one for my little guy Calvin and if you remember awhile back I referred to them as....
My Thing 1 and My Thing 2

They were up in the night for whatever reason. One would come up one night and the other one would come up the next night, like they were on a tag team or something. So that's were my new best friend comes in and my solution...the fuzzy jar.
So I made a deal with my so called Thing 1 and Thing 2, that if they stayed in their beds all night, then in the morning they could put a fuzzy ball in there jars and if they earned so many balls then they could get a toy. A little bribery never hurt anyone.....Right? It helps me sleep at night? :)
Well, they both agreed to my new fuzzy jar idea and even thought it was a pretty cool. It took a little adjusting, but it's worked and everyone is a little more happy because we are back to sleeping through the night. I love my sleep.

Working out is a love/hate relationship. Getting motivated in the morning to get your workout clothes on and getting started is the first step. Choosing your workout, whether it be getting on the treadmill or putting a DVD in is the second. Once you get started, your set. The love part comes in once you've finished exercising, you know you've worked hard and you feel great! The very best part comes when you've been consistent and you see the results.

My new favorite workout is this Jillian Michaels 6 week six-pack. She kind of kicks your butt, but it will be worth it when swimsuit season hits. The key for me is consistency and not eating cake.

Fun Snap Shots

You can find this pink chiffon bow here.

Here are some more fun snap shots of our belle bows.

As I'm sure you know, Easter is right around the corner and if your like me, your out on the hunt for the perfect dress, those darling shoes to match, maybe a cardigan sweater and you know it's coming...the hair bow or headband to make it complete. So, I guess what I'm saying is.... if you need that perfect bow or headband then look no further because here we are. Some how time flies and the next thing you'll know Easter is here. So good luck on your hunt and will be here to help you add that final touch.

Happy Hunting!

Welcome Spring! Love, love, love seeing, hearing and smelling the new season. Even though there are snow flakes falling right this moment, there are still little birds flying around singing their springtime song. You can see the grass slowly coming to life, the tulips are popping a few inches above the ground, and teeny, tiny buds are appearing on the trees and bushes.

Now, Mr. Sun if you could join in the springtime fun!?!

Love spring for the bright, cheery colors and the warmth of the sun.
Putting away the sweaters and coats and pulling together a new spring wardrobe.
And best of all. Painting your toes and sporting a comfy pair of flip flops!

Bring it on, we're ready!

Warmer Weather

2011-03-15T21:41:00.007-06:00

We are "loving" the warmer weather around here. What is your weather like? We have hit the high 50's and really close to 60 degrees and it's great.. will take it. We even spent some of our weekend outside soaking up some sun and warm yummy weather.

Isn't he cute!

I love when the weather warms up and you start seeing all of your friends and neighbors start coming out of their houses that you haven't seen forever, almost like there strangers and you have to go and get reacquainted. It's funny!

I love the sound of warmer weather and to me, that's all of those kids outside playing and screaming and of course laughing.

We can't forget the smell of warmer weather and that's perhaps a little harder to describe, but it's fresh and warm and I do love opening my windows and letting it blow threw. Love it!

Only 5 days until and it's official, that is Spring will official be here and how awesome it that? Awesome! and an even bigger AWESOME! I know, I'm just a little excited for Spring and warm weather because it makes me happy!

One of my favorite treats is cake. Cupcakes and donuts are great too! My favorite type of cake lately are the "Nothing Bundt Cake" bundtinis. They are dangerous, and oh so yummy! I can turn down cookies, ice-cream, candy or chips, but have a hard time saying no to cake.

What is your favorite treat?

Bummer!

2011-03-09T11:38:00.004-07:00

Wednesdays! Time for school! :) I look forward to my Wednesday afternoons because it's the day when all of my 2 little people are in school and you know what that means, right? Yes, that means that I get 2 and a half hours of free time, anything I want to do. Yay! Yay! Sometimes you just need and deserve it. Right?

Until 5 minutes ago when Calvin's teacher called and cancelled class today because her little guy is sick. :( Bummer! I was really looking forward to some me....whatever I want to do time and now I'm just going the have to take my little guy with me. Don't get me wrong, I love these little people to pieces, but you have to admit that it is sure nice every now and then to have a break. Well, I guess there is always next Wednesday.

Is there a day of the week that you look forward to?

Okay, so we want to do a little something new.... to share with you some of our "favorites" each Friday. This is actually a favorite I've had for a while Livestrong. There are so many fun things to check out on this site. From tracking your workouts and meals, to recipes and tips to better living. I also love the the "loops" where you can calculate your workout route or find a new one. To add to this favorite, I came across a tip yesterday and it linked to Livestrong and I love it. If you are a fan of lemons, you will love this too! It's a hot water and lemon drink to start off your morning. It's super yummy and super good for you:

Hot Lemon Water

1 cup hot water
juice of 1/2 lemon
(1/2 t. to 1 tsp sweetener ie. honey, sugar, stevia, splenda)

Enjoy!!

Check out the link for the full details on this and it's benefits.

We would love to hear from you too.... please share your favorites with us!

The dreaded never ending "cold", or in other words head ache, sore throat, and we can't forget the runny nose, a favorite I'm sure. Just when I thought I was on the mend. Why is it that a cold lingers and lingers and lingers until it either goes away or you get another go at it, round 2. I guess it means round 2 for me. : (

I poured myself a cup of hot chocolate this morning, hoping that it might help sooth a sore throat and holding the warm mug in my cold hands and feeling the heat ooze out onto my face I couldn't help thinking how happy this cup of hot chocolate made me feel. The whipping cream also adds a little extra happiness. :)

Isn't it funny that sometimes it's the little things that make you happy or that bring a smile to your face. When I here my kids giggling, it makes me smile. I'm a warm sunshine kind of girl so I love it when the sun is out, it makes me happy.

Hurray to all of the little things that make us happy!

Have a happy day!

Joys of Being a Mom

2011-02-28T17:10:00.004-07:00

Do you ever wonder if your doing a good job as a Mom? I know sometimes I question whether or not my kids appreciate the little things I do. We don't always need to be thanked, because this is a "job" that requires a lot of selflessness.

I found this note sitting on the piano the other night before I went up to bed. Best thing that happened to me that day.

Up in the NiGhT

2011-02-25T09:27:00.010-07:00

Welcome my thing 1 and my thing 2!

Okay, I love my little people to bits and pieces, but they are up in the night, one is coming up one night and the other the next night, like it's a team effort or something and it's not just every once in a while, it's every night. ARG! I enjoy my sleep and I'm a little grouchy when I've been woken up and that's probably because I can't ever quickly just check out, it takes me awhile to fall asleep.

Anyways, I don't understand what's going on, they both have cute comfy beds to sleep in, but for some unknown reason they prefer to sleep on the floor at the end of my bed. Maybe we will have better luck this weekend. Here's hoping! ;)

Hope you have a great weekend!

Where to start?

2011-02-22T11:01:00.009-07:00

I woke up this morning to a horrible smell coming from this black beauty (my direct TV box) here sitting on top of my garbage can in the garage. Apparently it must have blown up, burned a very large mother board or something because my whole house stunk like a very large battery on fire. Fun stuff! With the holiday and everything yesterday, I now have some house cleaning to do. More fun stuff! Anyone jealous?

Yes, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, oh and we can't forget the never ending pile of dirty laundry. I love it when it's done. How are you spending your Tuesday?

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's of to work I go!

Looky, Looky.... They're Here!!

One of those days

2011-02-15T10:47:00.006-07:00

I knew it was only a matter of time. I could feel it creeping up on me these past couple of days, the ever dreaded common cold, oh and did I mention that I have two little people around me that have been coughing up a storm, arg. I feel a little LESS motivated today, probably because my head, ears and throat hurt. When your a little under the weather, doesn't it feel like your moving in slow motion? and tend to be a little slow with everything you do? Kind of like a turtle. Today, I think I'm a turtle. : (

Happy Valentine's Day!

2011-02-14T08:59:00.004-07:00

We hope you get to spend this special day with those whom you love!

Remember this cute brown box that showed up at my door? Well, I dove right in and look what I've started.

It came! It only took a very long two weeks to get here. Don't you just love it when that brown box shows up at your door and it makes your whole day. Love it! That brown box contains a bunch of flower seeds that I am going to start growing indoors before Spring. Okay, this is something else I have never done before, but I am very excited about because I love flowers and how awesome would it be to grow your own and enjoy them indoors before Spring. Very Cool! I can't wait for Spring!

Speaking of flowers, you have to check back because we have the cutest new fabric flower bows and headbands for Spring in all of our fun colors. So Cute! We will post them soon, I promise.

A day on the SlOpEs

2011-01-27T14:51:00.007-07:00

"And now, this is the sweetest and most glorious day that ever my eyes did see."

-Donald Cargill-

We couldn't ask for a more beautiful day. Spending the day in the sun at Sundance doesn't make the snow and cold seem so bad.

Okay, so we've been up here a few times now and it's been a little challenging teaching my little guy how to ski, especially since I have never taught anyone how to ski before. Unsure of what I was doing we just went with it and I strapped the good o'l whola hoop around my trainee and away we went snow plowing our way down the mountain. Skiings a love hate relationship, it has it's good moments and it's bad, but when we showed up today it was a whole new story. The third times a charm, this little guy of mine surprised me, he just got into pizza plow position and away he went even challenging me to a race on the way down. I guess it's true when they say just keep at it and you'll get it. Very Cool! What a great day!

Where to start.... what I want to do or what I need to do? I'm having a brain over load. I should probably start with what I need to do.. finish bow orders, finish number sheets, pay some bills-eww....I hate bills, and make some phone calls. What I want to do. Sew some cushion covers for my chairs, finish my drawing so I can transfer it, and sew a top for my Clare. Well, will see how far I get. What's on your mind?

2011-01-20T14:43:00.003-07:00

Wow! I can't wait for Spring and I think we had a little taste of it today. Yummy!

Knit Add-a-Bow Bands

2010-04-09T15:56:00.018-06:00

Did you know that we have a headband that you can add a bow or flower to? Our "Knit Add-a-Bow Band" is a great accessory because you can buy one or two bands and then add any flower or bow to it. The other great bonus is that once your little one stops wearing headbands, you can continue to use your bows or flowers in their hair. You can get great longevity with your accessories.

$6.00
Comes in all the knit colors

Small Flower Clip 2" $3.00

Newborn Bows

2010-02-26T16:22:00.005-07:00

What are newborn bows? They are a tiny pack of bows perfect for newborns. They are especially great for babies that are preemies or babies with small heads. If you aren't into headbands, these are nice because they are a good way to doll up your baby, plus they help people know your baby is a girl.

They are are sold in a variety of packs. We also have seasonal packs, Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July and Valentines Day. They are simple to put on. We suggest non-toxic glue, hair gel and corn syrup. By applying a small amount it will dry clear and won't ruin the bow. Each pack comes with 12 bows in an assortment of colors.

Pink Pack- Comes with assorted pink, white and fuchsia bows.

Satin Pack- Comes with 12 assorted satin bows

Chiffon Pack- comes with 12 assorted chiffon bows

We also have a pastel pack that will be posted on our website soon.

Tips and Tidbits

2010-02-17T19:13:00.011-07:00

Tips and Tidbits: -great tips to help you, help your little ones.

Here is something new I learned this week from a friend who had a little one fall and get a goose egg size bump on his forehead. She uses white vinegar to help reduce the size of the bump.

Last Summer while we were getting our family pictures taken, my little girl happened to get stung by a bee and thank goodness for the "penny". After you remove the stinger place a penny on the sting for 10 minutes, it helps take out the sting.-(you can use tape or I even used a band aid I had in the car to hold the penny in place).

Another good one. If you happen to have a little one getting into markers and they turn out to be permanent and it is all over his or her hands, then take a wash cloth soak it in some rubbing alcohol and wipe it off.

If you happen to have any Tips and Tidbits you would like to share we would love to hear them.
