We’ve been getting home late each evening, and thankfully the kids have been sleeping in! It’s made the mornings really calm. The kids played when they woke up, Lover made us a yummy breakfast, and the tater tots took an extra long time because we didn’t know how to use the oven! I folded all […]

Mornings up here in Brian Head are CHILLY. So we’ve been getting into some of the crafts and busy work I brought – one of them was the wax sticks that I think Auntie Sara sent the kiddos for Christmas. They are basically wax covered yarn strips, and they have provided lots and lots of

Lover’s ability to “whip up something” for each meal will never cease to amaze me. Today it was bacon, cheese and eggs, cooked on a ragtag stove in our Airbnb, with questionable tools. And they were di-vine. The kids played well this morning – as always I am impressed by how creative they can be

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were spent selling things on Facebook, moving personal stuff to the basement, selling things on Facebook, setting up for our garage sale, selling more things on Facebook and getting lots of help from friends. Our friends came over Thursday night to help us put out signs for the garage sale, move

It’s my birthday! I woke up early thinking about all the details of our trip, and Lover and I laid in bed and talked for a while. Then he gave me my card and present – steak strips and chocolate covered raisins! YUM. The kids got right to work on special cards while I worked

Happy Memorial Day! I worked on making my birthday ice cream cake in the morning, as well as starting to sort and pack for our trip! The kids ate the leftover cookies from the cake as second breakfast and were super happy about that. We got payment from our guests and listed a bunch more
