Cabin Trip.

We took a little getaway to Driggs, ID this weekend with some friends to visit their cabin and celebrate Aaron's 29th birthday. There was a whole lot of this going on...

And also Stella decided she wanted to go back to sleeping in a crib. Yay for regression that helps the world sleep better. And Mabel decided she is done nursing. Yay for getting my boobs back, soggy as they may be, but boo that I wont get the nursing snuggles anymore. Change is good right?!? Thanks Taylors! Happy Birthday Babe. Love you!

For Sandy Hook Elementary.

 I am lucky to be able to hug my little ones tight this holiday season. If you are like me and feel helpless in the wake of such tragedy please visit my dear friend Sam over at Young People In Love. She is selling all her remaining fine art prints and donating 100% of the proceeds to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. My favorite print is one that simply states "IT'S COURAGE THAT COUNTS" This is a great way to show support to those little ones and teachers that showed us what true courage is.

A Much Needed Getaway.

I sometimes wish that I could go on a vacation just Aaron and I. We have only been out of SLC alone together one night. It was the night after our wedding, the single night of our short lived honeymoon, where we made it as far as St. George on our way to Vegas and I got horribly ill and we turned around and drove home. That was almost 6 years ago.
But then we go on trips like this one to "The Cabin" and I can't imagine ever going anywhere without my kids. I want them to experience the world and get to see each exciting new place that we do. Travelling with littles can be chaos but I love it.
We left last Thursday evening spur of the moment.  We were supposed to leave Friday but got word of the storm and decided we should hit the road early in order to beat it. Aaron hadn't planned on leaving that night so was at work when I broke the news. Aaron drove from Herriman to SLC for work that morning, then to Layton for an MBA event, then back to SLC to meet me and then to Driggs, ID. Meanwhile I did a butt load of laundry, got the kids bathed (I never did get a shower), got all of our stuff packed including Aaron's stuff (luckily I remembered everything!), left Herriman, Nora barfed all over her "shay shay blankie" and Mommy Bunny, made it to SLC to pick up the pack-n-play, Nora barfed again, met Aaron at Katie and Mikes, grabbed Chick-fil-a, and hit the road at 8 pm. We made it to the cabin around 1 a.m.
I was sure this trip was doomed. But it was perfect. Simply perfect.

Got Plans This Weekend?

You do now. Go show my beautiful friend Ellen some love at the Style Mantra Boutique where she will be selling her totally awesome Lulu Wraps. Ellen is probably the most talented person I have met. Ever. You can visit her shop HERE...but sadly for you her wraps are so popular they are SOLD OUT! You better get your butt in gear and head over to the boutique on Friday and snag you one. And if you need a ride I will probably be heading out right around opening time Friday evening to get the first pick of the new fall colors.
