the rest of our little home

Here is the little kitchen, I love the fork and spoon. I saw it in Real Simple and searched... Hobby Lobby came to the rescue, as always.
We are still missing our couch, and I am going to make some pillow covers for those bright green ones.
Ok, this is dorky... but these are my curtains! They make me so happy, I love the pattern!

Help me please...

So, I totally though my room was so cute, until I took this picture. I need some serious design help. I think we have a good start with our silver bedspread and the purple curtains and blanket. I want to bring some vibrant pieces into our room! These bare walls are killing me!!! You are all more than welcome to come over too and give me your advice!!!!

Best. Day. Ever.

Trent and I decided a life savings is not important, so we went to Ikea... kidding..kinda

I don't know what it is but this place calls my name when we move and my house is empty.

This is basically what our cart looked like...

and this is our new place....


totally joking. I will post pictures soon, we still need a few key elements.

Explain this to me....

I have been sick the last 2 days and with this time in bed I have been able to blog surf. I have come across a new trend (or is it new) that I can not understand... it is where people pose EVERYDAY in their outfit and describe where they got it and how much it was. A) how do you have time for this? b) how do you look so cute EVERYDAY c) how can you remember how much everything was? One lady even described how she had to leave her sick child throwing up to get ready for her daily shot.. hmmm. I think they have some good ideas but I didn't know this was such a huge growing trend among the LDS bloggers...and why it is...

Here are the sites I found...

The Mom Uniform
The Daybook
Momma Go Round
La Vie Petite
i believe in unicorns does throw some awesome parties though
Busy Bee Lauren has not done it as much but she does have some fun photography to look at

What a week away will do for you...

We loved our cruise (except the fact that Trent's back pack was lost/ stolen). Maybe it was all the time laying out or the food comas that induced this random blog post.

- I wish I had a different job. A job where I can do what I love and help people
- I wish I was a wedding planner (ok, so maybe I am 5... we are all over it)
- I am afraid of heights when I am connected to a rope
- I wish I was mor daring and more able to be myself all the time
- I wish I was not a people pleaser
- I love my husband more than anything... we spent so much time being gross and just staring at each other... love that kid
- I am eternally grateful for the Word of Wisdom
- Being healthy will now be my goal, not just being skinny
- I would rather not wear makeup, ever again
- I love bread baskets, especially when the bread is made by people NOT from america
- I am not a road trip person, planes are my thing (I think my impatience has to do with this)
- I would cruise again in a second
- I LOVE seeing new places and chatting it up with random strangers

ok just had to get that off my chest, now to search the job market to see what can make me happy!

Promise to return to a regular post soon and pics are coming!

My favorite things...

Obviously he is the favorite. Just a quick story, he was in the middle of a final... I started crying becasue I lost my camera that I bought when I finished the lsat. I told him where I thought it was and he rushed off about 11 pm to go grab it. Yeah, he is my favorite.

Sunday walks and these trees that pop up around Provo

These little beauties are right outside our house, but not for long, we are moving tomorrow!

If you have not seen this exhibit you are missing out on something beautiful. Go to the MOA cafe, grab a sandwich, wait in the enormous line to get an IPAD ( you will thank me later) then look through this exhibit ( you will double thank me later with brownies). It is beautiful.

I think WF keeps Dum Dums in business. If these are going to be scattered around my desk, they might as well look pretty.

I am packed... sundresses, t shirts and flip flops.

Yeah, look at this swimsuit. I have the best cousins ever. Yeah, there are kinda 4 right below it too :) Can't have too many of the same tan lines!

FOR SURE my favorite thing right now. About 4 pm saturday I will be on this beauty (except different cruise line). Tanning, running on a boat track, FOOD and MEXICO here we come!

my life...

I have seen this post around the internet, it just melts my heart because no matter what age we are there is always something we just can't quite grasp.
