Tis the Season...


We had a fun weekend. On December 6th, we have been married for 5 years! Wow...seems like a long time. We went to Chili's for lunch, Dairy Queen for dinner and rented a couple movies. We also went and got a real Christmas tree. This will be the first year that we haven't had an artificial one. We were only able to put lights on it so far...but we will finish decorating it soon. I think we need more lights first. Not only did we start setting up for Christmas...it snowed on Monday and really made us feel like Christmas was coming. This year is really different, I don't really want anything under the tree. We are just so excited about having our baby girl that everything else seems less important. I wonder how Mary felt when she knew she was giving birth to the Savior? This year seems very special and I cannot wait to meet our little girl. I am so anxious and happy!

We got our tree at Home Depot! There weren't a lot of places and I didn't want to hike the forest for one.

No Excuses

June's Cooking Show! June always wants to cook and has been begging me to film her cooking. I had a million excuses, but I decided that June didn't care that she was in her jammies. She didn't care that the kitchen had bad lighting. She didn't even care what she made. She just wanted to have her mom film a video of her cooking in the kitchen (like she loves to do with me). So, with my IPhone in hand and all those excuses that I created I threw them out the window and decided to STEP UP and be the mom she wants and needs. We made the first video in 2017 and she loved it so much. We got busy and made more excuses. June didn't give up though. She wanted to do another video. So, on a school night I wanted to make banana bread and decided that we are already making it, so I might as well let June make it and film it. June loves to cook and watching her video's. I love her so much and I want her to do the things that she loves to do, so, I will continue to not ma...

Homemade

I am always trying to find ways to save money wherever I can. So, I decided to make some homemade laundry detergent. While I was visiting my parents in California I went to a Relief Society Birthday Party in there ward and that is where I got the great idea of making laundry detergent. I tried a couple loads from the sample I got and it was great...just like Tide. So, I made a huge batch. And it was super easy too. It calls for: 1 bar Fels-Naptha bar soap 2 cups 20 Mule Team Borax 2 cups Arm & Hammer washing soda You just grate the soap, like you would cheese. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. You only use 2 Tbsp. per load. (tsp. for HE washers) Everything was very inexpensive and much less than I would spend on regular Laundry detergent. I just wanted to share my money saving idea. XOXO-Erin

Homemade Diaper Bag

I finally made a diaper bag for myself to replace the nasty old one I had. I am so far loving it a ton. I went from a pattern at first then scraped it and did my own design. I am happy with the result and now I am contemplating on making more and selling them. XOXO-Erin
