N”Ice” Dandruff

February 20, 2009 2 Comments

I love coupons and getting deals when I shop. But every now and then, I’m reminded why I have the 1 spending rule I don’t break. Beauty products are non-negotiable. I have to buy the right shampoo, conditioner, make-up, etc. etc. etc, regardless of what is on sale. And of course, I broke the one rule I don’t break. I had a few $1 off coupons for Pantene shampoo and conditioner. I actually like Pantene s & c, so that’s not the problem. The Ice Shine line (which I don’t normally use) from Pantene was not only on sale, it also had a full sized can of Ice Shine hairspray attached to each shampoo and conditioner for free. That should have been my red flag, but instead I took it as a sign of good fortune. I ended up buying the large shampoo and conditioner for only $2 each and got the 2 hairsprays as well. Not bad. (So I thought)

Yesterday, I finally used the Ice Shine hairspray. 6 hours (!) after doing my hair, I noticed this in the mirror:

I had been walking around looking like Frosty the Faux Snowman melted on my head into a large pile of dandruff. Fantastic. Note to Pantene – the Ice Shine shouldn’t turn into snowflakes after a few hours.

Back To Blogging

February 20, 2009 Leave a Comment

As you may have noticed, I took a much needed hiatus from blogging. I’m not sure why but I was feeling uninspired. I didn’t want to feel like I was pressuring myself to blog. Sounds strange, I know. But I’m back and feeling ready to write again.

Sundance Film Festival 2009!

January 23, 2009 2 Comments

The hubby and I went up to Park City to check out the Sundance Film Festival. We had a great time and rubbed elbows with a few of the famous folk…


Getting our enegy up by eating pizza and wings at the yummy Main Street Pizza and Noodle.


Mass hysteria outside of the Rock Band Lounge. Everyone wanted to see Paris Hilton…. Needless to say, we didn’t even get close! But we did meet:


Deron Williams and Kyle Korver – Go Jazz!


Ryan Cabrera


Ian Ziering


Lucas Grabeel from High School Musical. My 5 year old was thrilled! :)

Also spotted:


Ron Jeremy


Emma Roberts


We made it into the Ray-Ban event (I got the hook-up, holla if you here me!) where Ewen McGregor and Alan Cummings were hosting. Of course, they were pent up in VIP and didn’t mingle with the commoners. I did see Efren Ramirez, also known as Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite and what I think was Justin Bobby from The Hills.

I’m a celeb junkie. What can I say?

Family Home Evening Lessons For A Whole Year!

January 19, 2009 Leave a Comment

My church has set aside Monday night as Family Home Evening – a time for families to study the gospel together and to do other activities that strengthen the family spiritually, create family memories, and increase unity and love. Whether or not we have the same beliefs, I think it’s a great idea to have a night dedicated to your family,

I don’t know who created this, but it looks like it took a lot of work! And if I knew who created it, I would credit them. But thanks to Shyla for sending it to me. Click HERE to download a packet of Family Home Evening lessons already planned out for a whole year. Hooray for making things easier :)

(At Bubba’s 9 month check-up this morning)

Dr: He looks great. Continue feeding him foods until he gets used to different textures. Just make sure to stay away from honey, cows milk and processed sugars.

Bug: Bubba likes to eat M&M’s. And the other night, he stole my sisters sippy cup and drank her whole glass of chocolate milk!!!

Me: **sheepish smile**

Serious Packing

November 25, 2008 9 Comments

I read somewhere online about a woman who packed for her kids by putting a complete outfit for each child in a ziplock bag and marking it with their name and date to be worn. Since I am going to Hawaii in a few days, I thought I would try it. Packing for 3 kids under 5 for 7 days felt like a daunting task. At first, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. I was surrounded by a thousand little ziplock bags and piles of clothes… But when it was all said and done, this is what I was left with!

A wonderfully organized, easy to look through suitcase! To keep the system going, all you do is put the dirty clothes back into the ziplock at the end of the day. No more rummaging through a thousand articles of clothing trying to figure out what to wear. Hooray! Hawaii, here I come…

If you want to toot your horn about something great you’ve accomplished, head over to Mommy Community!

I’m Thankful For… The Late Edition

November 24, 2008 1 Comment

Ok, Ok, I know I’m a few days behind! But for good reason. So here are a few more things I’m thankful for.

Day 22 – Second chances!

Day 23 – The internet. I’m trying to pack for a trip to Hawaii in 4 days (HOORAY! :) ) and it has become quite the challenge. 3 kids under 5 on an airplane for over 6 hours?? Thanks to the internet, I can simply Google “Travel Plane Children” and be directed to a plethora of different sites with tricks and tips I never would have thought of myself.

Day 24 – Friends and Family that have more experience than me! So here’s where you come in… anyone have some great tips for me regarding travel with kids? I need tips for the plane or even tips for packing. I’m up for anything. Help!
