Welcome to PART 3 (of 3) of my Disneyland on the Cheap series! As you might know, we took our kids to Disneyland for the first time in February. To give you the unbeatable inside scoop, I have created this (brace-yourself-thorough) “Disneyland On The Cheap” 3- part post series for you so I can share…
Welcome to PART 2 (of 3) of my Disneyland on the Cheap series! As you might know, we took our kids to Disneyland for the first time in February. I hadn’t been to Disneyland since I was a kid, and hardly remembered it. I was SO excited, but SO intimidated! What to pack? How much…
This weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. Why? It’s General Conference time! Twice each year (ever 6 months) a huge world-wide religious conference is broadcast, free, from here in Salt Lake City. You can go in person for free, or can watch at home (on TV or your computer) in your PJ’s while eating cinnamon…
As you might know, we took our kids to Disneyland for the first time in February, thanks to my generous parents providing everyone’s park passes as a family reunion/Christmas present. I hadn’t been to Disneyland since I was a kid, and hardly remembered it. I was SO excited, but SO intimidated for so many reasons!…
Freebs, I’m home! I had a blast at Disneyland with the fam, can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’m sure you’re sick of these Q&A posts but since I went through all the work to chop the hour-long Q&A session up for you, figured I might as well post the remainder of the…
…and POOF! Christmas is over. Did that fly by for anyone else?? Even though we decorated early and tried to squeeze every second out of the Christmas season, it still flew by. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done a wrap-up post, so I thought I’d start by wrapping up our Christmas week with…
Yesterday I looked at my calendar and it hit me for the first time that December is only a few days away! (yes, I’m a little slow this year. Can you blame me??). I bought our first Advent Calendar on clearance last year. It’s a large door-hanging one with large pockets. I plan to put…
GUYS. I can’t believe it. After 3 looooong months, Bubba is HOME! No more “single mom”-hood for me, and “Bachelor life” for Bubba. He is finally done working in Boulder, CO (read why he was there HERE). In case you don’t know, we have 3 kids and I’m pregnant with our 4th. Raising young kids…
Since it’s “Focus on Learning” month, I’m really honing in on ways that I can be more organized, and efficient. One of the things I’ve started doing this year that has made a HUUUGGGEEE difference in my life is to use a simple timer! Not sure why it took me so long to figure it…
As I mentioned yesterday, there were two things that came to mind as I’ve been on on my spontaneous trip to Oregon. The first is that NOW is the time to use as much of your weekly budget as you can spare to start buying ahead for Christmas, back-to-school for next year, and even next…
Once upon a time (aka June 29, 2012) there was a young mom with two young kids. That mom tried to be a good mom, and took pride in her parenting. Her kids were everything to her, and her world revolved around them. But one thing this mom didn’t realize is that small and simple distractions…
