Goal setting make us stronger. It makes us self-reliant, hard working and motivated. When we have “things to do” it helps us keep busy and moving, and at the end of accomplishing a goal, the reward is great and the feeling that comes upon you is indescribable. It is a feeling of completing something YOU […] Read more…

Many of you know I LOVE shopping. I could seriously go every day. I love buying things for myself, but I prefer shopping for Laila. Tyson and I always joke that we are pretty sure she has more clothes than both of us combined. I absolutely love dressing her up and finding the trendiest clothes […] Read more…
Tyson and I were talking about how different New Years Eve will be this year. We have a baby that will be asleep by 7:30pm – so what in the world are we going to do?! It is time to get creative and start brainstorming. Just because we are parents, doesn’t mean we can’t have […] Read more…

How exciting is Christmas?! I remember lying in bed with my eyes wide open years ago. I would stay awake listening for Santa’s sleigh to land on our roof and to hear the reindeer’s hooves. I sometimes would look out the window and I swear I even saw him flying once. It was a night […] Read more…

I love Christmas Sunday! It was so fun to see everyone in their pretty Christmas dresses and hearing the Christmas program at church. I sang in the ward choir for the first time ever… can you believe it?! I officially feel like an adult. I always thought “moms” sang in the choir and I guess […] Read more…
Being a mom can be rough. We have some pretty bad days, right?! Those days you feel are NEVER going to end. Those days where the baby is crying, laundry isn’t done, dishes are stacked, your to do list is a mile long and somehow in between you are supposed to pick up kids from […] Read more…
The other day I looked at my calendar and realized Christmas is just around the corner … I hadn’t sent out my Christmas cards yet and I hadn’t even thought about neighbor gifts. With everyone’s busy schedules I am SURE I am not the only one that is racing to get things done! I wanted […] Read more…
