This past Sunday, a very chilly and windy Sunday, I thought we would look for HOPE! By that, I mean spring. We grabbed a couple of clipboards, attached a piece of paper on them, got a pen and went on a walk. We drew a little picture of every little sign we saw that spring […]
This past week we got 3-5 eggs every single morning. The kids and I haven’t been able to go out and collect them because my husband is way too excited and runs out to do it himself. Behold…. We had a special breakfast to celebrate. Let me tell you something about these eggs…you don’t add milk…you […]
This is the first year we joined my family on a trip down to Heber to cut a Christmas tree. I thought the girls are now old enough and I should do it before popping out another one that would keep us from coming again. Ok, the drive was longer than I thought. I might […]
We have been trying to get to all the canyons in Utah to explore fall. In a few days we will explore some in St. George but we also still need to drive through Big Cottonwood Canyon and Provo Canyon. We have done Yellow Fork Canyon, Small Cottonwood Canyon, American Fork Canyon and the two […]
The colors are changing! Every year I plan trips up every single canyon around here so we catch the colors of fall. And sometimes, if we wait TOO long the colors are gone. Last year I waited too long to go up American Fork Canyon and missed it. This year I really want to hit […]
I want to start off by saying we are *learning* on the go about how to raise backyard chickens. I want to share everything as we do it. Am I the expert? No. And I would love any tips from my readers if I am doing something the wrong way. The girls and I came […]
On Monday my planner looked like this: 9-12 am and 3-5 pm Go on a Rollie Pollie Walk Collect Rollie Pollies to live in a special village under the perfect tree Run to park Continue on walk to find the smallest baby Rollie Pollie Talk to it about how our day has gone so far […]
FINALLY it’s spring! (Right? Or did I just jinx us all?) I am nervous to switch out the girl’s clothes for their spring/summer clothes. Is this for real? I hope so. We’ll take as much of it was we can. I love that I don’t see my computer for most of the day and, instead, am […]
Utah is being confusing right now as far as the weather goes. For one day it tricks us and says, “Spring is here! You can run around outside in short sleeves to your heart’s content!” And then the next day it snows inches and says, “Booya to you.” We planned a Nature Photography Walk to […]
In my last post for my Surprise Contest I asked what you do to beat the cold weather. Well the thought of the cold weather coming scared us, so we cheated and went further down south where it was 20 degrees warmer! We cheated and went swimming, hiked in our summer clothes and played outside […]
love of local in Utah
