These Are A Few of My Favorite Things...

















BEWARE...very random post.

Some of my favorite things right now...





  • Fresh Lilac- imitation smells just can't compete



  • Bounce Dryer sheets- well pretty much the entire laundry aisle. I could spend hours there at the grocery store.



  • Cute snuggly puppy



  • Sunshiney days- rain rain go away



  • Soft & Clean towels and sheets that smell like none other than...Bounce dryer sheets & fabric softener



  • The Bowtie, Chicken, Mango, Avocado pasta salad at Plates & Palates. YUM.



  • Anything grey and white



  • Nautical looks in both interior & fashion design



  • The artwork of Charlie Harper (introduced by my good friend Sarah Savage)



  • The new Whole Foods in Trolley Square



  • Planting flowers- one of my design teachers always used to say that when you need to "get it all out" get your hands in the dirt. I planted pots for Landon's office, then that led to the law office next door wanting some, then I planted some for my in-laws, then the some for my mom for mother's day, and this week I'll be doing some for Landon's brother's house. I don't know why, but I LOVE it! If anyone else is in the market let me know! ;)

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy.  It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically.  Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed.  I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
