KimOrlandini.com came and took Shae’s pictures when she was one week old. Kim was so sweet and gentle with Shae.  It was a very different experience from any other newborn photos I had done with my other girls. She came to my home to do it, which was great because when I needed to feed […]

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Play in Utah

Monday, December 13th, 2010 in Love of Local in Utah, local

We finally did it! We rode the Polar Express Train Ride in Utah through Heber Valley Railroad. Man, I have been wanting to do this since before having kiddos. I almost worry that I set my standards to a unreachable level. SO let me tell you what I thought: Pros: Snacks and Hot Cocoa! Interactive songs, games […]

Thursday: Importance of the Arts—Visiting Your Local University’s Museums

One of my local university’s museums is the Life & Science Bean Museum. I am sure this is a very incorrect description, but it is a museum full of stuffed dead animals or dried insects 🙂 Here is a link for a more accurate description… http://mlbean.byu.edu/home/ and their own blog http://beanlifesciencemuseum.blogspot.com/ The best part of […]
