On the Move.

 Our little family is getting ready to move to the beautiful and hot state of Texas. Mr. Wonderful is graduating from BYU and taking a job in Dallas. We are so thrilled to be moving to the south. It reminds me so much of my childhood and I want need a shorter winter. ( my soul thrives on the warmth of the sun)

Upon thinking about our move, I have thought about past moves that haven't gone so well. I'm planning ahead of time and getting all ready before the big day. But even with my prepping I'm still gonna need all the help I can get.

Are you getting ready for a move too?

Here is a list of ways to help make the move a little easier.

Happy Weekend.

What we Believe.

Ever since I was a young girl I loved visiting places that made me feel warm inside.

I remember when I was in 5th grade I went to hang out with my friends at the local roller skating rink ( that was the thing to do in the 90s). I went inside and took a big look around, I saw all my friends there. The room was dark with really loud music. As soon as I walked in my whole body felt unsure. It seemed as though this immoral monster had taken over me. I turned around as fast as I could. Luckily my Mom and Dad were still outside. But I will never forget that feeling. I knew that the spirit had left me. Today I'm grown with two children of my own. I try to teach them, even at this early age what that good feeling is. And what it feels like when it's gone. One place we can go to feel that warmth and light is the Temple.They may not be able to attend at their early age but they can feel the reverence and love from learning and working hard to be worthy to enter someday. My love for these holy Temples grows everyday. The blessings of the temple are real.

Snap. Crackle + Pop

I had the opportunity to help with a photo booth at our church activty last week. Honestly it was a blast to put together. I couldn't wait to share it. 

 

 I picked up these absolutely adorable photo booth props at Target. My original plan was to make them myself but when I spotted this set for $5 I couldn't let that pass. 

 The back drop was a simple white cotton fabric backing and I added some self cut dots to make it a little festive (being that it was a Valentines party) I used gold and red paper bought at hobby lobby. Then, the book page paper was from an old book I had on hand. 

These beauties are old windows painted with chalkboard paint. It added so much character to the scene. I love em', don't you?

Everyone had such a great time posing and snapping some super cute Valentine pics. I Would do it again in a heart beat. It's the perfect addition to any party, dance or celebration.

B & A Monday

I love a good before and after picture, of a room, a piece of furniture, a person, etc.  Don't you?  

Here's the latest B&A around our house.

I don't even know what these things are called, maybe grocery bag holder?, yeah that sounds good. All I know is that old one had to go!  It was so easy to make a new one, I have no idea why I waited so long.

Much better.

Have a happy week!
