- We had a great time in St. George for Maxwell’s baseball tournament. The boys played great, a good way to start the season. The weather was really nice and we found a good taco spot too…Angelica’s.
- We are watching the Olympics every day.
- I like these shorts and this jacket.
- It’s a long weekend and we plan on spending lots of time on the mountain.
- The boys want to see the movie The Goat so we might go to the theater too.

- Do you have any special plans for Valentine’s Day? We are stay in kind of people:) If you are looking for recipes to make, check out our Valentine’s Day section. This dessert is always a favorite!
- The boys don’t have school tomorrow, Monday, OR Tuesday! We didn’t make any big plans because we were out of town last weekend. I am hoping to relax…and do some baking. I found some decent strawberries so I think I’m going to make these!
That bakery looks amazing! And vacation rentals all the way- more like a home away from home than a hotel.
It was delicious! I usually prefer a rental too so I can have a kitchen and more space:)
That cookie looks amazing! I look forward to seeing your take on it, please!
Wish me luck! I need to figure out how they did the filling…and the cookie stayed soft!
Your tips and info is always so great! Thank you for the shares. Regarding your “Marry me cauliflower” recipe: would it be possible to add or suggest healthy alternatives like replacing heavy cream? Would coconut milk or creamy almond milk work with this? I am going to experiment here but I always appreciate tried and acceptable versions! Warm regards to all from western NC
I bet coconut milk would be good!
I got to see GOAT at the premiere. Fantastic, fun, fast moving movie with a great message. You and your kids will love it. P.S. I’m a little biased as my son-in-law, Adam Rosette, is the co-director.
That is amazing! Congratulations to your son! We are HUGE Steph fans and can’t wait to see the movie!
I just wanted to leave you message to say thank you for your emails. I don’t always get to read your blog but when I do, I the tips are helpful. I only don’t like all the pop up ads. But I think that comes with having a blog. I hope the best for you and your family this new year
Hi Maddie, thank you for tuning in from time to time. We appreciate you being here!
Hey girl- Ooh such a great list! Love the mountain scene- oh so pretty! Cute clothes and yummy food. That s’mores cookie looks amazing. Wished I lived close to Utah! Y’all have a blessed day!
Come visit anytime:)
I prefer vacation rentals – we love being able to cook our own meals on vacation and going grocery shopping, exploring markets and small shops in a foreign spot is alway fun. I also enjoy camping – cooking is another challenge there, what can we make with limited space and options?!
We’re watching the Olympics as well – men’s figure skating free program yesterday was a nail-biter omg! What an unexpected outcome.
Have a relaxing long weekend and enjoy the strawberry scones! We’re still months away from strawberry season over here in europe.
I like having a kitchen too! I watched the skating and was not expecting the outcome! I hope you have a nice weekend too!
