Mail Box Area Clean-Up

I decided to clean up our mailbox area awhile back. It is one of those awkward places that you do not know if you or your neighbor is in charge of. I guess I was feeling in charge that day. 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

I was looking back through past garden posts and realized I have failed to post about buying and planting everything in my garden. We have had some weird weather here in Utah this spring. In-fact a week or so after planting everything the weather hit freezing and it snowed, but I am happy to report that it looks like all my tomato plants have survived.

Princess Perfect Gift Bags

We have a trip to the Magic Kingdom coming up soon and we are going with my husbands whole family. I am super excited to take Jayna for the first time, and know she will have a blast since she has two cousins about her same age. One that is four months older, and one that is 4 months younger. So when I came across a cute little tank top with three Disney princesses on it at Walmart it seemed like a no brainer times 3. From there I kept finding cute little things for the girls and finally had to just stop myself and package them all up. These would be really cute gift bags for a Princess party though.

Let the Building Begin...

I happened to weasel my way into getting some of our tax return money as a stay-at-home-mom "yearly bonus", and decided to make some big purchases with my dough. 

The Fence is Done!

Peony Love: Bloom II

Another one of my Peonies bloomed today and I just had to share.

This one is a "Pink Dawn". It is a single Peony meaning that it only has that one layer of petals.

Backyard Movie Night!

Ever since I saw the backyard movie nights that Donna over at Party Wishes, puts on for her neighborhood it has been top on my list of things I would love to do at the house. I am all about community and neighborhood "funness". My husband often laughs at me about all me grand ideas. Like the time I thought I could make cinnamon rolls for our entire condo complex, and I am often told I was born in the wrong era. So maybe it is not the world were door to door sales man need a place to rest their weary legs for the night, or carolers are invited in for hot cocoa anymore, but dang it can't I try!?!

Dinner is served... with a touch of Peacock

I posted forever ago about a rug I was going to purchase from Urban Outfitters, but have failed to post about getting it and how I liked it until now.

One Year Older and Wiser Too

This last weekend we threw together a quick party for my brother-in-law Devin's 24th birthday. You would think someone who loves throwing parties would be better about remembering when her relatives birthdays are, but my husband and I are horrible at that.

Daddy O Ideas: Video Flip Book Tutorial

Fathers Day is coming up soon so I wanted to share some fun gift ideas I found via Martha. I added my own little twist to some of them and a tutorial so 
"Read On".

Peony Love

I am in love! My first Peony bloomed today.

It is a "Bowl of Beauty"Peony and I just love it. It was actually one that I was not sure about planting because I love the all pink ones so much, but after seeing it I want more. I got all my Peonies at Bland's Nursery in West Jordan Utah by the way. It is only my favorite nursery, and the ladies are so helpful.
