1. sparkly vampires who want to kill the people they love!!!! Way romantic! 36 MORE HOURS!! BAAAAAA!
2. fake sugar. Totally delicious and totally trimming! SPLENDA FOR PRESIDENT!!
3. being the Mia Maid advisor!! It's SO fun to make value-color-coordinated crafts, SO neat to exchange hair ideas w/ them, SO fun to watch them heart me and my example. Anyone who knows me knows that I love all my young womens! Speaking of which, so greatful for...
4. my OWN advisors, who taught me the old tuck and pin by example, AND who taught me my role in the plan in rilly effective but darling ways such as that year we had a Cinderella ball instead of spidery/sweaty girls camp!! Primping is the BEST!
5. Internet! I don't get how the Superhighway works but I am sooo thankful it does bc speeding along it is the best!
6. JJWT! Love his muscles, tan, truck, fohawk and future job. Smoooooooch!!
7. Songs about being preggo! My whole pregnancy, it's been so fun to sing along with that song, "My bump, my bump, my lovely baby bump!" and finally feel like someone GETS IT, you know?
8. non-fat dairy. Fat-free/sugar free ice cream is my fave desert EVER. Can't believe I use to have to eat regular kind...ew.

How about YOU? What are YOU thankfull for?

Lotus Napkin Fold

Beautifully folded napkins set the scene for a holiday meal to remember. For best results, start with clean, pressed linen or cotton napkins. Be sure to starch them, and press each fold as you work. If you're expecting a sizable crowd for dinner, start your folding early.

Also called the water lily or the artichoke, this fold will be familiar to anyone who has ever made a paper fortune teller. The center provides the perfect spot to place a dinner roll, party favor, or place card.

Cafe Rio Rocks!

Living in the midwest where there is no good authentic mexican food is rough. I'm SO glad that there are great Cafe Rio knock-off recipes online so I can enjoy it without flying all the way to Utah for a bite. Go here for the recipe. Better than the stuff I ate on my mission!

An exciting announcement

I am so excited! in just three more weeks Bella (named after the protagonist of the Twilight series) will be old enough to bring home as a new member of our family!!!! I have ALWAYS wanted a labradoodle!

Do you dig the new album like me???

Justin Beiber moves me like no other artist. I thought I hit the jackpot with Sting and U2 but they did not have the depth of the Beibinator.

This only took me 20 seconds to write!

I am now an official Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker repairman.  I am an expert if any of you have trouble.

In other news, for future reference, on the first "real" bike ride with your middle school aged kids, be sure to teach your kids how to get onto a sidewalk from the street, so their front wheel doesn't suddenly turn and knock them off the bike.  And I found a good antiseptic/analgesic spray that lets you clean gravel out of your kids' road rash (Lanacaine)


See Guys!  This is why I have a blog,
