March on Instagram

A few snapshots of what last month brought...

March 1: Our sister-in-law Katie made this adorable bird feeder for us for
Valentine's Day.  I put it up in our tree the first day of March to welcome
the birds back who were flying home from the South.  It was devoured in
about 3 days.
March 5:  Any sign of Spring kind of thrills me after such a cold, long winter.
The sight of the daffodils peeking through the dirt made my day.
March 14:  We had a few really nice days in March scattered in with the
cold snowy/rainy days.  On this particular day, Danny and I couldn't
help but take advantage of the beautiful weather and take a walk
in the park, just like everyone else in SLC.
March 14:  Happy Pi(e) Day!  We had a razzleberry pie to celebrate.
March 16:  Danny and I had a date night, which turned into a shopping
trip while browsing one of the stores near our home.  We found matching
shoes, which I was really tempted to get.  Nothing says a couple in love
like matching shoes, I'm pretty sure.
March 17:  Part of our St. Patrick's Day celebration, fruit rainbow as
part of our dinner!  I got the idea off of pinterest.  It was delicious.
March 17:  Also part of our St. Patrick's Day dinner, green pancakes.
March 20:  The first bloom of the season on the first day of Spring.
How fitting.
March 25:  I spent the morning with some of my coworkers scouting locations
for an upcoming photo shoot.  I found this stained glass window in one
of the older churches quite lovely.
March 26 - We had fresh blueberries and I was in a baking mood, so 
blueberry muffins was on the menu that evening.  Also, it forced me
to do a little grocery shopping because I realized half way through we
were low on flour and milk.  (I don't know why there is black mark on
the picture.  It doesn't show up that way on Instagram.)
March 30 - I spent my Easter weekend in St. George with the family.  It was
like being transported to summertime, it was so warm down there.  One of the
highlights of the trip was going swimming with the nephews.  I didn't take
pics while we were swimming, but here is a pic of two cute, wet, red heads
in the swimming pool parking lot.
March 30 - Another picture of my aquatic nephews.  Cute kids.
March 30 - I also couldn't resist taking a picture of this darling nephew!
Those. Blue. Eyes!  
March 31 - Our Easter egg masterpiece, created by me and my
sister Michele.  My nephew Dr. C also helped.

  1. Fun pictures of your month of March. Was that really a month ago? I love that stained glass window. Where is it? I wish they still made church buildings like that. And that blue eyed nephew is adorable!
    So did you and Danny get the shoes?

    1. The stained glass window is in the LDS 10th ward building in SLC. I wish they still made our church buildings like that as well. Also, Danny got the shoes, I didn't. They just didn't fit me right.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
