The Nursery and Hawaii

Image
By
Wow, I received a whole lot of love on my last post. Thank you, kind people. I appreciate the validation. We are doing well. Baby and I are becoming more accustomed to our new lives together. Baby is a very cute little buddy I get to hang out with all day. So if in my last post I seemed, I don't know, overwhelmed (because I was), just know I feel like we are making progress.

I've been meaning to share these pictures of the baby's room forever ago (ok, like a month).  My mom and I worked frantically on his room while I was in the middle of having contractions a few days before Baby made his arrival. I was quite pleased how it all turned out. Special thanks to my sisters who created the wall decor.

We will get a crib once he gets a little bigger.
The changing table. We spend a lot of time here.
The toys, which I'm sure he will enjoy all in good time.
In other news, I've decided my little family and I need to move to Hawaii. I know we just bought a house and don't get me wrong, I really like it and the neighborhood. Everyone has been most welcoming. However, I came to the conclusion that Baby and I are living in the Hawaii-Aleutain Time Zone. (I just found out the name of that time zone through Google. Maybe I shouldn't admit that so I sound all time zone educated.) In our time zone we go to bed at 3am and get up around noon. However, if we were in Hawaii, that would make it so we were going to bed at 11pm and getting up at 8am. It help us lead much more normal lives, so really it just makes sense. Plus it would solve our whole lack of beach problem, which is a real conundrum. (I really just wanted to use the word conundrum.)

 Now I just need to talk Danny into this plan. Aloha!

    Cute nursery! But please don't move to Hawaii! That is just too far away, but if you do go, make it Kahului, the flights to there are the cheapest. :)

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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!

By
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

By
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...
