Today is my 33rd birthday. Birthday's are hard for me these days. I don't enjoy getting older in the least, and I still feel like I'm in my early 20's. Have you felt like that before? Ugh, before I know it (next year) I'll be in my mid thirties (GROAN).In honor of my birthday, I thought I'd share 33 things about me!I'm the baby of 7. I was born in Utah, though claim California as my "home state" as I lived there most of my life. I can eat In N Out for every meal of the day given the … [Read more...]
Dragon Birthday Cake!
Last year I made my oldest daughter a dragon cake, and this year, my youngest daughter wanted a dragon cake. I have used box mixes in the past, and they were fine, but this year I looked up a yellow cake recipe from Martha Stewart. It is still a bit crumby when I tried to ice it, but it was fine. Next time, I’ll try to find a different cake mix; one that doesn’t fall to crumbs when you cut it! I’m just not that skilled yet! I used a butter cream icing recipe from … [Read more...]
Signazon.com Review
We’ve got a new website for you! Signazon.com makes any kind of sign you can think of! So fun! I made this banner for Halloween. It is great quality; thick and sturdy and it even comes with metal grommets. (I used 5,000 Blog Titles and Quotes to come up with a cute saying…) The color is beautiful, bright and true to what I designed. It’s also super easy- just upload your design (I made mine with MS Word, saved it as a pdf and uploaded it! So quick!) or use one of their design templates and … [Read more...]

Getting Older
Yesterday was my (ahem) 30th birthday! Although I told everyone it was my 29th... again! I am not handling being in my 30's well. I feel as though I have left my youth behind and now I'm destined to be OLD! Johanna on the other hand feels that now that she is 30 (well in 2 months she will be) she will be taken seriously! She doesn't realize she is just going to be old! :) How have you handled getting older? Any tips for accepting being 29 plus 1? I'd appreciate it! … [Read more...]
Legoland – Kansas City
This past weekend my family went to the newly opened Legoland in Kansas City for my son's birthday. We hadn't been there before and I didn't know anyone who had so we were simply going off of knowledge obtained through their website. On their website you can see the map of all the activities and it looks like a fun place. There were a couple of rides, several play areas, Kansas City made up of legos and lots of building areas. The price was a little expensive in my opinion, but you could save a … [Read more...]
