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.
A rustic simple bake. This Blackberry Cobbler will knock your sock off! The recipe comes together really quickly, the longest time requirement is the time spent baking (1 hour). My kind of recipe!!
We love making homemade butter to enjoy with our Pioneer Day Feast.
For those of you wanting to try your hand at homemade butter, it’s a super simple + fun activity for kids!
Pioneer Day is this next week {for those of us in Utah}!
If you need a fun & simple pioneer craft, give these covered wagons a try! My daughter loves making them + they make a great Family Night craft and are a darling addition to our Pioneer Dinner table.
With a built-in wall bed, bed making is a constant struggle around our house! Not only is every morning a struggle to get my daughter to make her bed, and make it well, but getting bedding on and off for washing is nearly impossible!
We’ve been wanting to add wallpaper to my daughter’s built in bed for years, but couldn’t quite get ourselves to commit to cutting, pasting and applying wallpaper in the tricky space.
When we heard about Rocky Mountain Decals removable, self adhesive wallpaper I knew we had to try it!
Warm Summer nights are my absolute favorite!
We enjoy chatting around a late dinner, roasting marshmallows over the fire, eating homemade ice cream, listening to crickets, playing night games, sleeping out, or watching an outdoor movie… but I detest the mosquitoes that seem to love me!
I love holidays. But mostly I enjoy the food that goes with it! After being diagnosed with Celiacs (nearly 7 years ago) I felt downright ripped off. I mean our life so closely revolves around food. Holidays, birthdays, celebrations, BBQ’s… every single social gathering (or so its seems)!
I can say after nearly 7 years, I feel like I finally have it figured out (mostly)! Food allergies stink, and I’m sorry if it’s something you deal with…but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Today I’m sharing our fun Easter Feast from last year. Simple, festive, and delicious.
Need a way to use up the bags and bags of Cadbury Eggs that seem to have snuck into you car and into your house without you even realizing?
I’ve got you covered!
