January 31st can be bleak. The world is asleep and plants are still dormant for the season. After a gentle snowfall I ventured outside to capture some of the beauty that winter offers. It got me thinking about the importance of planning and planting for the winter months.
Pavlova, need I say more?
I think Pavlova would make the Perfect Valentine’s Day Dessert! & it’s even Naturally Gluten Free! No recipe adjustments needed!
If you haven’t tried this light and scrumptious dessert, Pavlova, I suggest you run to the store and grab all the ingredients RIGHT NOW! + Enough ingredients to make this at least 2 times, because I promise, you’ll LOVE it!

What better way to kick off the holiday season with the cutest group of tweens, than with a Pajama + Pancake Bar party!? Top it off with decorating gingerbread houses and playing games and you have yourself a fun filled morning!

Our first few years of marriage we’d plan, make, roll out, cut out, and bake our own gingerbread creations. Wow! What a lot of work!
It’s the holiday season….

It’s the holiday season! What better time to give the seasoned or amateur gardener in your life some amazing gardening tools!
In Utah, we celebrate a State Holiday on July 24th commemorating the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847.
Last May, we were able to go to Switzerland and visit the home/farm/family/village were my ancestors migrated from. It left a huge impression on us all, but especially my daughter.
