He’s two! He’s TWO!!!! Can you believe that? I know I’m having trouble with it. His favorite things include: sea animals (especially sharks, octopi, orcas, sea turtles, seals, dolphins, crabs, lobsters, penguins and rays), cars (especially Lightening McQueen and Sally), trucks, trains, books and soft blankies. He can count to twenty and can recognize half the alphabet. Anything that’s big is a “mommy” and anything that’s…
If you are one of those people who say winter is “not for me.” I get it. Winter in colder climates isn’t always fun. It’s cold. It’s wet. In Utah, it seems to last for years. It also makes driving difficult and sometimes you feel like your face might freeze off. How do you fix this? Well, aside from moving to a boring season-less climate, you…
Making these “Year in Review” cards has become a yearly tradition for us! It’s a fun way to look back on the year and to also share what we’ve been up to with our friends and family. I’ll admit that they take a little bit of time to put together, both in coming up with what to put in them and designing the actual card, but…
Here are a few of my favorite baby splurges! I’m the type of person who likes to have a plan, likes to know what to expect going into things. I’m a lists and checkboxes kind of gal. When becoming a parent for the first time (or any time) plans go out the window. There are a lot of uncertainties. You really just have to go with…

We Love Island Park! Here are a few highlights from our latest trip to our family cabin in Island Park, Idaho. We LOVE going here. It’s one of our favorite places on the planet and we go at least twice a year. However, getting all of our planned maintenance finished in a long weekend is not always easy. There is so much to do (fun included)…
If you are a parent, then you probably already know that doing anything with a baby is harder. That’s just how it works. But, that doesn’t have to mean that you don’t have an awesome time! We recently took our baby to Disneyland, had a blast and learned some things that we’d like to share. Disneyland Baby Care Center First of all, if you didn’t know…
I can’t believe it’s been a month since baby Kitt’s arrival! What a whirlwind it has been. I knew I better write down these details before I forget them. Overall, I would say my labor and delivery experience was a good one. I felt well cared for and I got to come home with the CUTEST little babe ever – which we are even more in…
I am beyond excited to show you this gorgeous dress that PinkBlush sent for my maternity photos. I am so in love! I’m to the point in this pregnancy where I only want to wear comfy stuff. And let me tell you, this dress is SO comfortable. It’s like the dress equivalent of yoga pants, except like… yoga pants you could wear on the red carpet.…
Rhett and I both grew up camping. Some of my favorite memories as a kid involve horses and pack-trips into the High Uinta’s, while Rhett’s revolve around canoeing expeditions to the far reaches of Yellowstone Lake with his grandpa and scout troop. There is something about being somewhere that no one else is. The sound of the wind through the trees. And the smell. The glorious…
