Hike.

A much needed day with the family! A trip to Wall Lake, Provo River Falls, and a picnic in the mountains.










After Presley got her rhythm, walking on the trail, the 1 mile hike to the lake was pretty fun. Stella had an accident (a first) once she was out of the back pack and at the lake--she spent her time bare bottomed while throwing rocks into the lake.

The hammock was a big hit and I think we need to buy a couple more--this one for the girls and one each for Chris and me!

Just the 3 of us.

With Chris at volleyball practices for nearly 12 hours a day, the girls and I are spending a lot of time together. Poor Chris is lucky if he sees the girls before he leaves in the morning and home in time at night to help read them a story and tuck them in bed.


What a hard working daddy.

Favorite things.

This is for Carl--I know he loves when I share my new favorite things (wink, wink). If you can, you need to try them! I know they will be some of your favorites too!


I have never used anything but soap to shave, but this REALLY does make my skin so soft. It has a lotion-like consistency and you only need a bit. For around $3.



So, I bought this on a whim after dinner with my friend Jen, and I just ordered 2 additional shades. Benefit Cosmentics Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow, $19--this little pot is going to last forever. Colors I have, Tattle Tale, Get Figgy, and Busy Signal.



This is the expensive one on my list. It is like a Sconicare toothbrush for your face--and it is amazing. I have the one-speed version, the Mia, in pink. The brush heads need replacing every 6 months or so and you re-charge the handle every couple weeks--works in the shower too! $149.



Amazing--gets all the dead, yucky skin off! Made from recycled polyester and is washable. Best thing, the price, $4 for 2 towels. Way better than the puff.

I had to share! Enjoy.
