Vacay & an Award!

I was in St. George, UT this weekend on a little family vacation. We had such a good time.

We ate at the best Mexican Restaurant, Los Palmeras (sp?). It was kind of a hole in the wall, plus if you are going for nice atmosphere, this is not your place, BUT if you seriously do want the best mexican food this is it. The best I've had in UT! I've lived a couple miles away from the Mexican border, and this is the best Mexican food I've eaten since that time. 

Also, The Bear Paw is such a good breakfast spot to eat, but be prepared to wait a while to get seated and once seated it will be awhile until you get your food. But MAN! the food is very good. French toast to DIE for!! Bring snacks and things to keep the kids busy until the food arrives.

Delish!

And if you LOVE card games you have to try Wizard! We always play Wizard with my sister and her husband (they introduced us to the game) and it's SO fun. You have to have a Wizard Deck though.

Go here to buy the deck at Amazon for $8.20

Cosmic Shopping Week #1

I wanted to start a post once a week where I share some of the great deals I find that week. I mean who doesn't go home and call their mom or sister or BFF and tell them about the PERFECT fitting Sweater on the sale rack for $2.00??? I call that "Cosmic Shopping" Like everything in the universe has lined up perfectly for you to buy that One item!!

So...Here are my great finds for the week!

Look at these Beauties! Clearance Rack at Target @ $5

 

 DI (Local Thrift Store) 75 cents - Milk Glass Vase

 I Love Hounds Tooth more and more all the time. Clearance rack at Target @ $2

It's a hard shelled mini wallet

 Small Urn - DI @ 75 cents (this had a huge bouquet of ugly silk roses in it, the roses were hanging over the urn so bad you could barely even see the urn) the urn is only about 7 or 8 inches tall.

 This was the only one of this dress on the Target childrens clearance stuff. It HAPPENED to be a 2T and fit my daughter perfectly $7

I love the embellishment on top and the layered tulle around the hem.

And Just because: I gave a baby shower for a friend of mine on Saturday and here are a couple pictures of the flowers...They made my week sitting in my kitchen.

I love tree blossoms...I have a whole vase of these puppies blooming on my table

And here's mine:

Please try not to look anywhere but the bed...HEY, I said don't look anywhere but the bed.

My Master Bedroom has been tossed to the wayside for over 3 years now. It is the very last priority on my list of things to do.

Don't look at the hand-me-down lamps from when were were first married.

Don't look at the crooked picture on the left wall.

Don't notice the Two baby monitors on the right hand side. 

You would be horrified if I panned Right or Left and Mortified if you saw behind me.

SO...Just look at my gorgeous bed (V-day gift from two years ago) and the pretty bedding I recently purchased at Target. I was going to hold out for a beautiful quilt from The Quilt Shop but hey $70 verses $300-400 was a no brainer, and hey...I was sick of just a sheet and blanket on my bed for the past 3 1/2 years.

Crib Toy/Book Holder

My 2 year olds crib has at least 4 'babies' in it at all times, a binkie, at least 1 sippy cup, and at least 4 or 5 books. Not to mention a pillow and several blankets... Then add an almost 3 year old into the mix and it becomes fairly crowded in there. I need TWO of these things for her crib and I would be in good shape.

Craftiness Is Not Optional has the Full Tutorial to show you all how to make this beauty!
