Disneyland Love

Image
This year we went to Disneyland as a family for the first time ever! Jack was 6 and Ko was almost 2 when we went in early March.  It was ridiculously magical! I am more than a bit of a planner.  So before we even bought tickets I went on Amazon and found these sweet beauties!  Jack has ADHD and Ko is a toddler so having my kids on leashes is a total sanity saver for me!  I tested them out the day they arrived and both kids thought it was the best!  They could run around our house and have me follow them everywhere!  My kids are still in the golden age where they want to be around me 24/7!  These specific "anti-lost wrist links" are great because the child wrist band has a double velcro feature that makes getting them off quite complicated for a child yet easy enough for an adult to take off quickly if necessary.   We stayed at the Castle Inn and Suites.  We booked through Travelocity and found a great deal there.  We purchased our tickets to the park online th

Blog Life

So I started this blog in 2011 when I was pregnant with my first son Jack.  Now 7 years later a lot has changed and I'm feeling ready to share what I've learned in the land of motherhood.  I am pretty frugal and love to pay as little as possible for everything!  On this revised blog I'm going to share my ideas and things that have worked for my family.  Hope you enjoy!

Beautiful Day

Image
Today is such a beautiful day! It didn't get hot (over 95 degrees) until after we returned from our walk to Target.  The longer I am in Arizona the more I love the weather.  It is hotter than hell most days but there are a handful of cooler days too. Everyone keeps telling me to "Wait until fall" "It is cool and wonderful all of the time". So far I am okay being patient, but if fall isn't as great as everyone says I am determined to get out of here and head back home to Utah!  Speaking of which... I had a great night talking to/seeing  (over the computer via facetime)  some of my favorite people Katie, Brian and Emily.  It was fantastic and made me wish we could click our magic red shoes together and be back at home.  There really is no place like home!  Good day! Me & Jack on our walk today.  He is such a happy boy in his stroller! My favorites! : )

Quote that Todd and I love. In relation to the Commentary of the Song Judith my Maynard James Keenan

"I'm not really saying F the ACTUAL God, but F YOUR god, you know, a god who would isolate people and punish them. Genesis 1:1, in the beginning was the word, and the word was God, and originally in the text, that word was "Yewah" or "Jehovah", which both mean light and love. We've kinda twisted it into this guy with a beard passing down judgement, but it's not: in the beginning was the word, and the word was love, and light, infinite, unconditional, and without judgement. You can pretty much close the book right there." - Maynard James Keenan

Oh Baby!

So now 15 weeks pregnant! Today we might find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I will be happy with either. I do wonder what our baby will look like. Will it look like me? Will it look like Todd? Hopefully a happy medium.
