Happy Birthday Hubby

Okay, so yesterday was really my hubby’s birthday, but I thought I’d hop on here and share how we celebrated! I love birthdays, even if they’re not my own:) We’re actually going on a big camping trip, not this weekend, but next- to celebrate his (and one of his best friend’s) birthday. I’m super excited! There’s… [Read More]

Happy 4th of July!

Hope you all have a relaxing day full of sun, treats, and fireworks! Hubby and I snagged matching shirts at Old Navy for $4.00! His is white, but we’re still totally going to be twinning. So far, today has consisted of a patriotic mani, lounging outside sipping fruit punch, and relaxing. In a little while… [Read More]

Throwing a Surprise 50th Birthday Party

Last summer my momma turned 50.  Being the only girl of four, I knew it would be up to me to make sure she had an awesome celebration.  I didn’t mind though- I live for this stuff! Planning, baking, crafting, celebrating!  (Some of my favorite things.)  I had been thinking about a surprise party for her… [Read More]

July Cravings

Happy first day of July! I cannot believe the 4th is practically here. It’s a holiday that sneaks up on me every year. I’m super excited that it falls on a Friday this year, because that means I don’t have to go to work the next day, and I get a three day weekend! Woo hoo! To… [Read More]

Favorite Auntie

This past weekend was perfect. We made a quick trip over to the Portland area to attend a surprise birthday party for my Auntie Laura. (She’s not technically my aunt, she’s my mom’s best friend- but regardless, she’s my favorite auntie and one of my favorite people in general.) We left early on Saturday morning and drove… [Read More]

Spring Bucket List Recap

Okay, so I know it technically isn’t summer yet… but the weather sure has me thinkin’ otherwise.  I’m ready to move on to my summer bucket list!  Before I do though, I thought I’d follow up on my spring bucket list and share how I did on it.  If you want to see the list, here it… [Read More]

Gluten & Dairy Free Birthday Party

Yep, we did it.  My mom and I managed to throw a gluten and dairy free birthday party, when neither of us are gluten or dairy free. Why, then, would we do such a thing, you ask? Because the party was for my sister-in-law, who is gluten and dairy free.  Every holiday we rack our brains to try and… [Read More]

Apple Blossom Festivities

Happy weekend!  Wow, things have been busy around here.  I really thought April was as busy as it gets, but May is looking like it’s going to be even busier.  And it’s only the 3rd. The end of April and the beginning of May means Apple Blossom Festival in my local valley. The festival consists of events,… [Read More]

Details of a 9th Birthday

Hey guys.  April is my nephew, Spencer’s, birthday month.  He turned 9 on the 13th, and my sis-in-law threw a great football themed party at a local gymnastic place.  The kids got to run around, jumping on trampolines, doing somersaults on mats, and basically do a ton of fun activities that would leave me sore… [Read More]

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Easter!  We had a really busy weekend, but it was a good busy, full of fun with family and friends! On Friday after work I gave myself an at-home mani with my favorite nail polish.  I lit a candle, put on some music, poured a… [Read More]
