All Hallow’s Eve…Not Conducive to the Diet

October 31, 2011

Some people have their favorite holidays.  I just have my favorite holiday traditions!  Every holiday is an excuse to spend time with family and remove ourselves from the “real world” for a little celebration of sorts.
Halloween is one of said holidays.  And the following are some of said traditions:
Of course, we dress up in costumes… [...]

“Scary Hairy” GIVEAWAY from Sanctuary Day Spa – CLOSED

October 21, 2011

I think we’ve all had our share of “bad hair days”.  Believe me, I’ve had mine.  Only they weren’t bad hair DAYS, more like bad hair ERAS.  I wasn’t nicknamed “mushroom head” for no reason!  I think the only time of the year any of my hairstyles would ever be acceptable would be on Halloween.

Something Exciting This Way Comes

October 19, 2011

October – a month that bids farewell to the blistering sun and lazy days of summer, and welcomes the vibrant colors that blanket our mountains; a time that boasts of my two favorite food flavors (apple and pumpkin) in the form of breads, desserts, cupcakes, breakfasts, shakes, etc. (However this year, the only way I [...]

Libby’s Joining with Habitat for Humanity in Utah

October 18, 2011

Some of the best times as a family are around the dinner table, with everyone gathered together, enjoying conversation, and discussing the day’s events.  What I don’t hear much of are compliments to the chef.  Part of it could have something to do with my “cooking abilities”, and the other part is mostly that we [...]

Get Your Sillies Out – Yo Gabba Gabba – closed

October 11, 2011

Had my sister Jill never introduced me to the techno beats of Biz Markee and the bright orange homemade jumpsuit of DJ Lance, I never would have known about Yo Gabba Gabba!   The complete opposite of other “children’s programs”, Yo Gabba Gabba teaches children rhythm, and creativity, as well as teaching messages of making friends, [...]

Fight or Flight…or Both!

September 21, 2011

I’ve never considered myself a fearful person.  Apprehensive, maybe!  But afraid, no.  However, in my older years, I’m finding that I DO have a phobia.  Two, to be exact: heights (probably common for most) and small, enclosed places that don’t accommodate for a quick escape.  (i.e. elevators, ferris wheels, amusement park rides with an automated [...]

Nostalgic for the Summer

September 7, 2011

It never fails… September rolls around.  The school year starts.  Our life becomes routine. The mornings get darker and the evenings grow cooler. 
And I start longing for the summer once again.

Verklempt on the First Day of School

August 24, 2011

First day of school.  Every child experiences it… including me!
Here’s proof: my twin sister and I in our backyard, donning our homemade matching overalls lovingly sewn by our mother.  (She was always able to make clothes 90% cheaper than those found in the stores! And she reminded us of that talent all the way through [...]

Mod Bod Clothing Giveaway – closed

August 2, 2011

Last night was the season finale of The Bachelorette, where we waited with baited breath to find out who Ashley H selected as her husband from the final 2 bachelors she had narrowed down from the beginning group of 25! Sadly, her “meant-to-be” true love and smooth-talker Bentley, was not a part of Ashley’s final selection. It’s just [...]

No More Mom Jeans -GIVEAWAY – closed

July 8, 2011

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been self-conscious of my derriere.  I think it started ever since attending my first extended family reunion, observing the genetics of second-generation aunts with back ends that were so wide and perky they could have been used as coasters for the drinks!  I don’t feel it’s [...]
