Words of Wisdom Weekend.

I'm away for the weekend to enjoy time with my family and to listen to living prophets speak. It's truly one of my favorite times of the year. 
Each year I invite my readers to join my family and I for Sundays session of General Conference. Have a question of faith you need answered? A trial you need help to make it through. Just need to hear some good encouraging words of wisdom?
HERE you will receive those answers.

Have a wonderful weekend Readers.

Looking forward to the weekend.

It's Friday.

Each week it seems like I am counting down the days until it's Friday.

Why do I love Friday so much? 

Because it means that I get to spend the next TWO days with Kevin & Hunter doing whatever we want.

Kevin has been working so hard these last few months, including late hours at the office, and it is so nice when he finally gets home. 

Hunter lights up as soon as he sees Kevin and I just know that he misses him during the day.

We have lots of fun things planned for tomorrow but only if the weather stops being silly and lets the sun come back out to play.

I am most looking forward to being at home with my family for

The 183rd Annual General Conference.

It's one of my favorite times of the year and I invite you to join me.

You can watch it here on Saturday & Sunday.

(Watch this NOW to get you in the spirit)

________________


Since it's raining, and Hunter is asleep in his swing 
(only took him an hour to fall asleep... silly teething) 
I figured I'd share a HOT LIST.

This week I will share an item that we each used this week and one item that is on each of our wish lists.

Hot List Used.

Hunter.

Baby Orajel has been a LIFESAVER in our house this week.

Hunter's 3rd & 4th teeth are coming in.

One on top and one on bottom.

They are being so vicious and Hunter is trying so hard to fight through it.

When he just can't handle the pain we put on a little of the Orajel and it seems to relieve some of his discomfort. 

Mommy.

For Easter I got this adorable pink tumbler.

Kevin and I have both made it a goal to be a little healthier and exercise more and having this tumbler has really helped me fight off one of my biggest addictions, Dr. Pepper.

I try to keep the tumbler full all of the time so when I am feeling thirsty I take a swig of my water instead of popping open a soda. 

I refill the tumbler 6+ times a day and have only had a couple sodas this week.

It's a little thing... but it's a start.

Daddy.

Like I mentioned above, Kevin and I are trying to exercise more and he is on top of working out. 

It's helpful that we were able to put a "mini gym" in our unfinished basement.

Kevin was able to find this pull up/dip machine on KSL for a great price and has been using it a lot.

It's just like the one we used when we had a Golds Gym membership except now we can use it whenever we want.

(Like at 5am when Kevin wakes up to work out before work... what a stud)

Hot List Wants.

Hunter.

I have been OBSESSING over these CandyKirby baby leggings for months now.

I think Hunter NEEDS a pair, since he is crawling all over, and I might just have to buy him this pair soon.

CK leggings are all handmade from organic cotton and the patterns are to die for.

Have a little one? 

You have to check our the website.

Mommy.

I am IN LOVE with these Jessica Simpson Ginny Daffodil Wedges. 

So cute and PERFECT for Spring.

Dress them up with a cute Sunday outfit or with a pair of Capri's for an afternoon out with my boys.

Aw. Why does my birthday have to be in the same month as Christmas?

$$ Must. Save. To. Buy $$

Daddy.

This is REAL LIFE.

A HOVER GOLF Cart. 

How awesome would this be?

We are so lucky to have a cart when we go golfing

 (I cant imagine hauling that bag full of clubs around 9 holes) 

but how cool would it be to just hover around the green's AND the water?

No Big Deal.

I saw it on the Today Show this morning.

See it HERE to believe it. 

(Kev, I promise to buy this for you when we are ga-jillionaires... Someday)

I linked up w/Family Fridays. 
Go See!

Hanging in my Mommy Closet.

Last week's fall closet clean out was a success.

I was able to put away a box of summer and pregnancy clothes, a box of old t-shirts that I will be using to make a t-shirt blanket (someday) and stored my summer shoes under the bed.

I also donated a HUGE pile of clothes and accessories to a local thrift store. 

It took 3 whole days, but it needed to be done.

Before.

During.

After.

After the clean out I decided I have SO many clothes, shoes and even a ton of fun jewelry that I NEVER wear. 

For me that is so sad. 

(Or if your my husband you would say, such a waist of money.

 Lucky for him 99% of the clothes I had prior to tying the knot.)

Feeling a little down about my fabulous deprived clothes, and that I had let myself get into the new mom funk of not really caring about what I look like (even though I got this awesome new mom haircut here), 

I have decided that for the rest of the year I am going to wear EVERYTHING I own, without wearing the same outfit more than once.

Operation CRAZY?!

Maybe.

Especially as these days are getting colder and baby Hunter and I are beginning our winter hibernation in our PJ's most days.

Wish me luck.

Visit us often for weekly, maybe more, updates of some of my favorite outfits.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

General Conference was amazing.

If you didn't watch you can check it out here.

Happy Monday Readers.

Hot List before my Favorite Weekend.

Hot List.

Baby Hunter.

-Hunter has finally started to grab at things and this week his favorite thing to grab is his LOVIE. An adorable little monkey plush toy/blanket. He loves to rub the silky and minky material all over his face and coo's happy sounds of joy all day.

Baby Hunter and Mommy are sharing a HOT LIST choice this week.

We are both loving FACETIME.

As you can see our favorite FaceTime buddy is Grandpa.

Grandpa Grant FaceTimes mommy and Hunter almost every day.

It's really so Grandpa can get his baby Hunter fix of the day, but we'll admit that we kind of love it to!

Mommy.

-I finally did my fall closet clean out. It was a THREE day process that resulted in purchasing a clothes rack that is now set up on my side of the room. I am actually really excited to have my clothes "on display". Maybe now I will actually wear all of these lovely clothes that have been hiding in the deep lost corners of my closet for years.

Daddy.

-This week daddy discovered that our grocery store price matches any and EVERYTHING. On our weekly shopping trip dad had found a handful of items that were listed at a cheaper price at another location. We ended up saving about $25 on our groceries. Daddy is VERY excited about this.

-This week we went to our local Sammy's restaurant. Daddy loves Sammy's burgers and shakes and is always on the look out for Groupon so we can enjoy a delicious date night.

This weekend just happens to be one of my favorite weekends of the year.

It's the weekend my family, and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from around the world can watch or listen to the
182 General Conference.

I invite you to join us in listing to the true living Prophet of the world today.

It will be amazing and inspiring as always.
