I have shared in the past how we are working towards having more “eco-friendly” birthday celebrations. Also, we want more COST FRIENDLY and more tradition oriented celebrations. We have the same birthday banner that we use every year, our birthday wreath that the girls sit under, and our birthday “linens.” I finally got around to making their […]
This is a great way to dye your Easter eggs this year (by the way, Easter is in 18 days!) for whatever reason matters the most to you: it’s a fun science experiment, you stay away from commercial dyes, it is cheap AND its just something new and different! All Natural Easter Egg Dyeing Colors […]
We did it! She turned four and had a very fun birthday weekend! We took 6 of her little friends, along with their moms, to go see the play If You Give a Mouse of Cookiein Orem at the Scera. I highly recommend you go to this. It was the perfect length, perfect set, perfect story line and cheaper […]
When you marry a boy from the Brown Family you are forced to cook something quite disgusting. After cooking it two years in a row while being pregnant and getting sick due to the smell, I said…enough! Corned Beef. Ugh it is gross, it makes my house smell gross and I refuse to eat it. […]
We are all better and have been for over 48 hours. I lost 10 lbs and gained almost all of it back after eating a huge amount of pizza when I finally felt good enough to eat. After my lovely cleaning lady scrubbed the house, I then scrubbed the house to get rid of germs. AND […]
These “Be Mine Valentine Bracelets” are AMAZING (in my humble opinion)! How clever is this? You could even tie one of these around a lollipop to bulk it up as a school Valentine’s Day Gift. The “Be Mine” messages are IN the bracelet, which is just made of a small piece of ribbon and itty bitty pieces of velcro. […]

Coconut/Pineapple/Apricot Goodness Ingredients: 2 cups of ice 1can of Coco […]
A few weeks ago we started rearranging all the rooms in our house and Baby Girl’s room has been sitting…well, like this…for quite a while: Embarassing. Ok, well I am redoing it and using the song, “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley as the theme. JUST YOU WAIT, it is going to be amazing. I am […]
I officially have the winter blues. Do you? Remember this post and contest I did back in October to help us? I am re-posting it in attempts to help us fight back the winter blues. What activities do you do with your kids when you are stuck in the house during cold weather? (You know, […]
Last week I had two days of Horrible Terrible No Good Very Bad Grumpy Mom Days. Boy, was I a “grumpface,” as we call it in my house. I was tired. I was looking forward to bedtime and trying to figure out something to do the hour before bedtime that didn’t involve me snapping or […]
