Brandon says our Christmas decorations are "eclectic." And to that I say bah humbug. Shopping in themed sections of holiday decor is for boring people (unless you are one of those people, then hats off to you because not all of us can be so well put together). Seriously though, is there a limit to the number of Christmas decorations one person should own? Every...
Read MoreA new study has been published recently that essentially says that if a pregnant women falls asleep on her back in the third trimester, the risk of delivering a stillborn baby doubles. The study also says "What we don’t want is for moms to wake up and see their on their back and think, 'I’ve done something terrible to my baby.'" But I don't think the researchers...
Read MoreYou guys, this CuddleCot project has been killing me lately.
Remember when I posted that the donor at Riverton Hospital had fallen through, so we were going to be able to donate our CuddleCot to them? Well the hospital got their wires crossed, and the donation had not actually fallen through. The labor and delivery manager said that...
Read MoreOkay so maybe they aren't exactly world famous, but my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are pretty popular among the few crowds we run in. Even my mom, who swears she doesn't like pumpkin, requests these cookies every single year. They are my favorite cookies to make and...
Read MoreLike most everyone else in the country, I rushed to Target as quickly as I could after the release of the Hearth & Hand Collection. Brandon and I started watching Fixer Upper a while ago, and seriously it was like Joanna Gaines spoke to my soul. Suddenly I understood the kind of home decor I had constantly been striving to perfect. We're still working on it, of course, but this new...
Read MoreIf I could, I would spend all my money on holiday decorations. When the fall and Christmas decorations come out I basically have to stop going to stores altogether, otherwise I'll buy everything. As you probably can tell from previous posts and mine and Brandon's adventures lately, we are really digging fall. All I want is to curl up with that orange blanket up there, throw...
Read MoreThe Saturday after Carter's birthday, we spent a quick (very quick) 24 hours in California. We flew out of Salt Lake at 6:30 that morning, landed at 7:20 in Long Beach, and were at Disneyland and in the park by the time they opened at 8:00. I was still a little sick, so we almost weren't sure if we were going to go, but I am so glad we did!! The first thing we rode...
Read MoreOur trip to Vermont and Connecticut has me really feeling fall right now, and I honestly can't wait for the weather to cool off even more! I've been sitting here all morning trying to figure out how we can swing another vacation before the end of the year, and all the places I want to go would require me to buy (at least) one new pair...
Read MoreOur final day of vacation was so perfect. We headed straight to the beach first thing in the morning, and it was seriously such good weather! It was only an hour drive from our hotel, so it was probably 10:300 or 11:00 when we got there. The sun was shiny, it was warm, and there was hardly anybody there! We walked on the sand, flew the drone some more, and checked...
