We LOVE General Conference and look forward to listening every 6 months.  If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you know what we are talking about.  This is a time when we have the opportunity to listen to our prophet, the 12 apostles and other general authorities in a worldwide conference.  General Conference is Saturday April 5 and

One of my favorite ways to send a little note is with a simple saying and candy.  For some reason candy and a note really does say a lot...even though it is such a simple thing and most of the time pretty cheesy.    When it comes to little notes...lets just say I use them a lot but the thing I use them the very most for are to say: "I Love You," "Thank You," or for a special

You have probably seen lots of tutorials for carseat canopies...they are kind of a big thing right now. There is a great video tutorial here.  I made the canopy reversible, different material on each side so I can mix it up. I also made flower clips that come on and off.

I am excited to introduce one of my favorite shops for photography backdrops...Swanky Prints. Swanky Prints offers quality vinyl backdrops and is home to the reversible backdrop. I absolutely love the idea of reversible backdrops, not only does it eliminate having to store additional backdrops but it makes it easy to switch backdrops out during photo sessions. These are just a

I decided to take on the HUGE project of making a quiet book for each of my children for Christmas. This really was a big project and took a lot more time then I thought it would. They turned out really cute though and my kids love playing with them so I guess it was worth the effort.  Here is our church quiet book!!  Hanging Laundry...Saturday is a Special Day Inspiration: Pops

I love this little craft because it adds a lot of dimension to my decorating.What is it?   This is a block of wood covered with scrapbook paper. I drilled a hole in the top of the block and stuffed it with wire. I then curled the tops of the wire with pliers and put pictures through the curled wire. Now its a picture tree!!

We have learned a lot about photography and wanted to share a few simple ways to improve the quality of the pictures you take of your kids. 1. Use natural light Turn off the lights in your

I wrote a whole separate post on how I meal plan here, it might help you understand why I created the dinner menu board the way I did.  When it comes to meal planning I would encourage you to do what works for you!  We all have our own way of doing things and so please tweak your board to fit your family. I have included a full sheet of blank meal cards in the printable for this

It seems like the hardest part of meal planning is getting started… deciding what’s for dinner. How do I meal plan? First, I have found that I do better when I plan one week at a time as opposed to two weeks or a full month. I think a big part of this is because I go grocery shopping weekly and I like to plan our meals around sales and what is in season. I also have a better idea of
