The Garden's at the Kirtland Temple

On Sunday afternoon while my parent's were in town, we visited the Kirtland Temple. It was a lovely day!

The flowers were just gorgeous. No peeps in these pics. More from their visit later on.

Mom, now you can pin these! Haha jk. :)

My latest favorites

In the past week I've found some awesome deals and new favorite things around my house...just thought I'd share (that's how excited I am about them!).

Don't you just LOVE this face?

Besides Devin being among my favorites, this little beanie, 50 cents! My boys have rather large noggins so he's in a big kid one and Luke is in an adult one...

These bowls. A.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.

49 cents!

  

Wait, it gets even better...

The adorable bowls were wrapped in these sheets of paper, which kept my 3 year old occupied for at least an hour.

Awesome? I'd say so.

Last week I threw my good friend a baby shower and used some of the cute bowls (I just couldn't give them all away) and filled them with chocolate covered pretzels as the prizes for the games.

Cuteness.

Then at JoAnn's (I haven't been in forever, but I'm starting to get my craft back on) I got this fabric for $5.00 a yard (50% off). I am SO excited to make curtains for my boring kitchen.

Speaking of crafts. I made this cute pillow for the love day. The best part was I had everything to make it!

I found it online somewhere...but not sure of the site.

Another favorite...these girls. At Marilyn's baby shower, we had a grand ole time, until 1am...gesh!

Still going....

This vegetarian (I am not vegetarian btw!) stew....so good! You won't be sorry. Here's the link.

And the girl that I got this delish recipe from, also gave me these super cute vintage alphabet cards. Love them!

I've struuuggled with decorating Luke's room, but it is very, very slowly coming along. 

I found this pig at the dollar store (for yes, a dollar) and it has inspired me for his whole room, strange? Maybe.

One of our favorite things is to hit up the after-holiday sales...where we usually just get way too much candy, but this time I found this too! A cupcake stand for only $2.50!

On the big V-day, I made these fortunate cookies. You heard me right, I made them! Here's the recipe for those. 

And what's Valentines without our favorite sugar cookies???

Oh and another favorite thing, I found some Van Huessen (sp?) zipper ties for Luke at JCPenny...for $2! Score. He looks so handsome too. Sorry no picture.

What are some of your favorite things?
