I love finding new things for inspiration. Here are just a few things that have inspired me lately! It makes me want to redecorate my entire House!

BeSt FrIeNdS......

This month three of my five best friends were able to get together for a weekend getaway at Bonnie's. It truly was a retreat. Bonnie is such a great host, she spoiled us with gift bags full of all of our favorite things, fed us nonstop, introduced us to her spunky friends, had crafts prepared for us to do and showed us around the beautiful city of Saint George. It was so much fun I didn't want to leave! For those of you who know my sister Bonnie, know that she is such a talented decorator. Her home is beautiful and I came home with a ton of new ideas! Thank you for a weekend full of laughs. I love you and I can't wait for all six of us to be together next month!

Chandler had so much fun at your house, she keeps telling me stories as if I weren't there.
This is a message from her to your kids. " Sananah, I love you so much and we had so much fun at yours house. I want to play barbie's forever with you". " Caleb, I love you and I like to play on the table with you"." Kennidy, I love her because her shares hers phone with me and I play dolls with her".

How To Survive Grocery Shopping 101...

So, I know I have been blogging a bunch but I really feel that getting my Grocery shopping done in less than two hours is a feat in and of it’s self! I watched this on an episode of Super Nanny (Which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, mostly because it makes me feel like I am not a complete failure as a mother, and I secretly get ELATED when a child, not my own, throws a temper tantrum!) In this particular episode, Super Nanny was showing the parents how to actually enjoy grocery shopping. (I know it seems impossible, RIGHT? Well it's not.) I tried this before but I think that there age played a factor in that it didn't work!! You let your children color pictures of the items needed on the grocery list. I decided to give it one more try and although I couldn't tell what half of the pictures were, they new exactly what they were and helped me find it. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, we were done in a little over an hour and still in good spirits!!! I was so glad that I brought my camera to put my pictures on a CD. I now have proof of there rare sweetness. I wish I would have taken a picture of Chris's face. He was annoyed at the fact that I was taking pictures left and right!!
