It is the most wonderful time of the year! It's the most -fully-stressful, -fully-crazy, and lets be honest a lot of work for mom. One of the ways I have been able de-stress a little during December is by getting my cards done early and sent out.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Because I love design, and do free-lance design work from home, I always enjoy designing my own cards. This year I teamed up with </span><a href="http://prodigitalphotos.com/" style="text-align: left;">ProDigitalPhotos.com</a><span style="text-align: left;"> and custom designed my cards.</span></div>
<br />
There are a few stipulations I have for myself when designing a Christmas Card...<br />
<br />
1. I try to design or find a unique design.<br />
2. I love them to be interactive.<br />
3. I love them to be personal.<br />
4. I feel it is important to bring Christ into our card with a Christmas Greeting.<br />
5. There must be a personal touch, either a handwritten note, or stamped envelope...etc.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This year I chose a slider card, and did a little information graph to share about our family. I love the cotton paper that Pro Digital Photos offers and the quality is amazing! My goal is not to be "braggy", but informative and throw a little silly for fun.<br />

I have used many card sites, but I have to admit, <a href="http://prodigitalphotos.com/">Pro Digital Photos</a> is really easy to use, convenient (like just a few miles down the street from me in Pleasant Grove, Utah ... but they ship everywhere!), they have great selections of paper, and templates to make my card exactly how I want. Their store is SO extremely cute and totally decked out for the holidays. Their prices are fabulous too! Not only do I love having my Christmas Cards printed at Pro Digital Photos, but I print lots of my client work there, including wedding invitations and Canvas'.<br />

Each year they choose a different theme for Christmas to wrap it all up, and make it extra special. This year is Dreaming of a white Christmas. With each card order you get a little bag of lavender to place by your pillow at night to help you sleep better ... as well as DARLING wrapping. Makes getting your Christmas Card order, that much more exciting!<br />

Valentines day has a big history for me ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
usually it has been getting dumped, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it all made a turn around when I got married! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Valentines Day is fun, and the older my kids get the more fun it is becoming. </div>

It isn't too late to order your Christmas or New Years cards! Check out some of these create interactive Christmas Card ideas that I found!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who knows me well, or has followed my blog, knows I have a PASSION for Christmas Cards. I have teamed up with many different companies over the years. All have been wonderful ... but this year I feel like I got my most ideal Christmas Card ever! I have had my eye on if for a long time ... so I decided to team up with <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806">PEARTREEGREETINGS.COM</a> and make it happen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love cards that are interactive! I love that the receiver has to do something with the card, rather than just look at it. I love that it stands out! This year I chose the Spinner card from <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806">PEARTREEGREETINGS.COM</a> just for that reason. I haven't seen anything of its kind on any other website ... and so in an effort to be different ... I had to create one for myself!</div>

Why not personalized note cards for your children's teachers? I gave these to my kids teachers for back to school, and Bryson's teacher personally emailed me and asked me where I got them! She wanted to make them for all her teacher friends!!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Last year we were invited to a darling "SPOOKY" dinner, a few days before Halloween. It was a SPOOKY dinner with all sorts of yummy food made to look grotesk, for Halloween!</span></div>

It was a last minute idea, so I needed a quick, easy invitation, and some darling decor that wouldn't take too long!<br />

I ordered the invitations from<a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806"> PEARTREEGREETINGS.COM</a> on Monday (October 20) and they were on my doorstep on Thursday morning! THAT IS CRAZY FAST folks! PLUS, the designing literally took me 5 minutes! Being a Graphic Designer myself, I am pretty particular when it comes to design, type, and style. It was so hard to decide between all the darling designs!<br />
<br />
Next was the decor, and again ... <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806"> PEARTREEGREETINGS.COM</a> was my stop! I decided on my menu first, then created tags for all the food!<br />

I needed quick easy party favors, and luckily I made my famous sugar cookies a few weeks ago, baked them and froze them. It literally took 15 minutes to bring them out of the freezer and frost them for my party guests. Being smart when planning a party is really important!</div>

It was important to me to have food that was edible, and not too gross ... so my menu was normal, but with a few special touches it made the food seem pretty spooky! Here is the menu:</div>

For the table I did red square plates, then black plates. The napkin rings were those cheap vampire fangs around a red napkin. Then were the cute witch hat straws! I found the idea <a href="http://lilluna.com/witch-hat-toppers/">here</a>. They did take some time to make, but I made these a few days before the party!</div>

It has taken me all summer to find the time to upload my pictures, and actually post about my cute Chad's 5th Birthday SHARK party! I figured no better time than now, since it is shark week of course!</div>

I had a great friend tell me that she allows BIG birthday parties for important birthday milestones. So she does a birthday for the years they turn 5, 8, 12, 16, and 18. The other years are set aside for family and a few friends. SO I decided to try this ... and so far, it has been GREAT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw a few years ago on a friends blog, her little boys "shark" party. With Chad's birthday being a summer birthday ... I knew that this was the party that I wanted to throw for Chad's 5th. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then played fish, fish, shark (aka ... duck, duck, goose) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while we waited for all the little sharks to show up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We invited 18 little ones to the party, and to our surprise ... we had 18 kids show up!! I luckily have the most darling babysitters that love kids, and they came to my rescue ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because, lets be honest, me and 18 kids would not be easily tempered! ha ha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we opened the garage, and played pin the fin on the shark, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and hit a really great shark piñata, in the garage of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, I got to use all the darling decorations I got from <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806">PEAR TREE GREETINGS</a>. I used some of the printed circles, and stuck them on kabob sticks for cake toppers!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Followed by some gift opening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtKjY10YP6bikcuTs8LfWXjKGG_-IuIJ3XGDnwMK4bHgQ_JG8PEtPy5JzDFlnDjSET23OXmZ6Q3j38NZZOI259g95Sv6ZCV_BZEKUWZzwmu0wTMkKBwTXjv9N18EFIn4s4NsQjFKewZXE/s1600/Presents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtKjY10YP6bikcuTs8LfWXjKGG_-IuIJ3XGDnwMK4bHgQ_JG8PEtPy5JzDFlnDjSET23OXmZ6Q3j38NZZOI259g95Sv6ZCV_BZEKUWZzwmu0wTMkKBwTXjv9N18EFIn4s4NsQjFKewZXE/s1600/Presents.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">***NOTE: when you get 18 gifts, I would suggest you do what I did. Let your child pick out a few of their favorites, and play with those first. Then when they aren't looking, put the others in a closet, and bring out one when they get board. It has been a summer of entertainment, and he has enjoyed playing with each gift, rather than them getting lost in the shuffle of everything!</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our next activity was a slip and slide and a sprinkler that my sister got Chad for his birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
t shot up balls and the kids loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the kids were worn out, sugared out, and super tired ... we ended with a fishing station, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(SADLY, I was so busy running the station, I didn't get one picture!)</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They got their grab bags of treats (the candy from the piñata, and a bag of fish bate!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was certainly a fabulous party, for a fabulous 5 year old. It wouldn't have been as amazing without all the cute decor, stickers, invites, and everything from <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806" target="_blank">PEAR TREE GREETINGS</a>.

Thanks for being understanding in my little time out period! So much is going on in my life that I needed to put my blog aside for a minute. I do have some great things in my belt that I am hoping to incorporate in my blog. I am hoping to share them with you this weekend!<br />
<br />
In the meantime ... here is what is new with me :)<br />
<br />
1. I decided to run the St. George Marathon and training is in full throttle! YIKES!!! It is kicking my HYNEE ... however I decided that I am not getting any younger, or any healthier, so now is the time to just do it. The marathon is October 4, so wish me luck!<br />
<br />
2. Spending lots of CRAZY time and moments with my two boys. Summer is a busy one for sure! Between family vacations, girls weekends, camping, etc, etc ... I don't think I have spent a whole weekend at home doing nothing in a month!<br />
<br />
3. I have been given some GREAT graphic design jobs in the past months that sure have been keeping me on my toes ... stay tuned and I can show you some fun things I have been designing! HINT: Has nothing to do with crafting, cooking, scrapbooking, etc ... something totally different!<br />
<br />
4. We have been making some decisions when it comes to our family and adoption. For now we have decided to pull our profile and not actively seek an adoption opportunity. It has been a rough road for us, and we have felt like it is time to focus on the 2 great kids we have been given. OF COURSE if we were approached to adopt another baby, this would be something we would very much like to consider! ... more to come about adoption as well!<br />
<br />
WHEW!! Just a few things keeping me away from my blog huh! Can't wait to share with you posts about our journey the last few months ... stay tuned in the coming weeks!</div>

I have put myself in time-out.<br />
<br />
I have been working on some free-lance design work, and I got a new computer ... both of which are keeping me extra busy. Sorry for the lack of posting ... I will be back soon!<br />
<br />
Happy Spring!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>MAKE FROSTING NOW!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually, you wouldn't want to put your frosting in the fridge, but this frosting is the exception! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a Whipped cream cheese frosting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FROSTING RECIPE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3/4 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 tsp vanilla</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 cup whipping cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Whip cream cheese until smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream (whip it good)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla to cream cheese and combine until smooth. Then add whipping cream last and whip just until combined. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Put inside pastry bag (with a start tip) and place inside fridge overnight. (look for a great tip below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Back to you with the instructions of how to make the hearts!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
13. After the cake has been frozen, remove the top layer of plastic wrap and use a darling heart cookie cutter (yes, the same one you use for sugar cookies) and cut 12 hearts! Remove the negative space cake ... and look below in Tips with what to do with it. DON'T throw it away, you wasteful person ... lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are now ready to frost!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use a star tip, and start frosting on the upper left corner. Then zig-zag diagonally until you get to the bottom and make a little circle to cut off the frosting, like so:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can promise, they aren't as hard as you might think they are ... and don't let the overnight scare you off.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tip no. 1</span></b> | My favorite pan is a 13" x 9.5" x 1" pan. You can find them at <a href="http://www.gygi.com/quarter-size-bun-pan.html">Orson Gygi here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For 12 hearts, this is the pan you will need! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a <a href="http://www.gygi.com/half-size-bun-pan.html">FULL pan</a>(18"x13"x1") or two smaller pans, you will need to <b>DOUBLE</b> this recipe!</div>

**This recipe I used two smaller pans because it was easier to get them into my freezer and to dump them out onto my cutting board.</div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tip no. 2 </span></b>| Why does the recipe say Hot Cocoa and Coffee can be substituted?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well on the original recipe it tells to use Coffee ... but because I am a Mormon, and because I don't think that Coffee is the best ingredient for me to use for my family ... I decided to try the Hot Cocoa. Surprising, out of the taste testers I chose, (Thanks Kindred family) it was 4 people to 1 in favor of the Hot cocoa! So, this is my new twist on the recipe, however both taste wonderful!</div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Tip no. 3 </span></b>| The frosting might appear to be a little more runny to the usual cream cheese frosting you're used to. That is why I highly recommend that you make it and put it in the refrigerator at the same time you put the cake in the freezer. Trust me! You'll be glad you did!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned a little trick years ago, that has saved me from trying to clean out those pastry bags! (It still gets a little frosting on the bottom, but not nearly as bad as putting the frosting directly in the bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I prefer to use Press and Seal Plastic wrap. Put a long piece on the counter, Place the frosting on the plastic wrap. Then roll it up and "wring" both ends. Then place it in your pastry bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It is that time of year again, and as I have been racking my brain ... I went back to a segment I did last year for Studio 5, and now realize that I never posted the ideas on my blog. I thought I would refresh your memory!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you're like me, you probably want to do something really special for your man for Valentines day, but lets be honest .... Valentines day is a girl holiday, right? So I find it hard to not get too "froofy" (if that is a word) when it comes to gifts for my man.</span></div>

- There are hundreds of tutorials online, but I found this one on Youtube that I thought was the best. Homemade fortune cookies will allow you to be a little more "personal" with your messages, but are a little time consuming and may take a little patience until you get the technique down! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0a3S5XNu88" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0a3S5XNu88</a></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If your husband is like mine, he leaves before I wake up. So making breakfast for him is left to the weekends. This idea is one you can do a day or two in advance and set out before you go to bed. Make Cinnamon rolls, but roll them up like a heart. Place in individual dishes (I like the heart paper ones that you can bake in. Found mine at Wal-Mart). Then freeze the rolls until you're ready for them. Let them un-thaw over night and leave instructions to warm before eating.</span></span></div>

For some reason, Valentines Day was one holiday I had a lot of bad luck with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is until I got married ... and my son Bryson was born on February 13.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I look forward to the fun of Valentines day, and I figured it is never too early to prepare for the Day of LOVE!</div>

There are so many cute options! I chose the airplane, because it was interactive </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and different than anything I had seen (and I love to be unique)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to make just one Valentine and make it generic and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
order 40 for both boys and their class! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we signed some our Valentines and tried those Valentine airplanes out!</div>

Thanks to everyone who left a comment. It seems like there are less people commenting these days on blogs. I am totally guilty of it ... however those who were sweet enough to leave a comment will be rewarded for their great New Years goals! And the winners are:</div>

HELLO 2014 + GIVEAWAY!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a year it has been! Lots of highs, and a few lows ... but altogether a great year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to share with you my upcoming goals for this year, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& then finish up with what I learned last year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My word for this year is:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GrEeKmgTVp1Do8mZfrA7mzLgirbhScKHGsMlk4683GiNKz5znuymGHbf5ej6PGXWSrK5IbESTPV8N2sRuZYL-jiY-6hO6V2QY8AVfGnIEn_QtAlrm1bbhLvAUVFd_RKrqVjgjR01i8M/s1600/Live.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1GrEeKmgTVp1Do8mZfrA7mzLgirbhScKHGsMlk4683GiNKz5znuymGHbf5ej6PGXWSrK5IbESTPV8N2sRuZYL-jiY-6hO6V2QY8AVfGnIEn_QtAlrm1bbhLvAUVFd_RKrqVjgjR01i8M/s640/Live.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think as a mom, worry is part of our job description. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my unhappiness comes from worrying! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are my kids learning enough? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eating healthy enough? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having enough fun? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I a good enough wife?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is my house clean enough? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I a good enough friend?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I becoming who my Heavenly Father wants me to be? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I spiritual enough? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I skinny enough?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(i know you have asked a few of these questions yourself!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but I need to remember that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">I AM ENOUGH!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This doesn't mean that I don't need to make goals, or have self improvement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But honestly, I spend most of my time beating myself up and not living ... just worrying!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this year ... Here are my goals to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Live my life, and be happier! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** Choose to live each day in the now & </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quit worrying so much of what is going to happen in the future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** Set my mind to what I want to do, and do it ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't let the task stress you out until it is too late to get it done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love it because it is small and easy to use. It has months by calendar and by date. It has small sheet protectors to put photos and memorabilia throughout the year!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">As I mentioned in a post before, our family had some things happen this year that I wasn't ready to share with the public, and I am still a little reluctant to talk about it in full detail. But I want you to know that even through my emotions ... I ENJOYED getting to know one of the greatest families that I believe I will ever get the opportunity of rubbing shoulders with. They are the most selfless, caring, and Christlike people I have ever met. In the situation, they were hoping to place their little angel in our family, and because of circumstances that were beyond both of our control, we were unable to place the child in our home. I am lucky to have an understanding of God's plan. He is aware of our situation. He is aware of our wants and desires. As much as I don't understand it all, I know someday I will get to see the whole picture. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">To this wonderful family who I am honored to know, THANK YOU for all you have taught me in the last few months, and allowing our family to be part of yours for a few moments. 2013 will be one year we will always hold deep to our hearts, because you were the first ones to take a chance on us, Quirks and all :) We love you!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
More has gone on in the last month, than I really am ready to share publicly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have chosen to re-evaluate things, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">ENJOY</span> the season with my boys.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided not to focus on things that, lets all admit, are somewhat trivial ... THERE I said it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Christmas Cards, Neighborhood Gifts, Pinterest projects, etc.)</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose not to do segments for <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/">Studio 5</a> this month, and all of my freelance work has been set aside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided I was going to try find <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Joy</span> that inwardly wasn't there a few weeks ago ...<br />
and guess what, I FOUND IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am always one to design my Christmas Card in November, search out a unique idea for<br />
neighborhood gifts weeks before Christmas, be organized and on top of my Christmas lists. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I set it all aside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoWbQj4TQXtlWJ24zF1lCSKj-fqEyT-J-r4892ydxzsr-EoL_gmLmR6HvYvDpD-1gbkxQhsZhJloWz3v4PF0N-9sr-QYTtftvVg2KMPN3VeWI2b7hiWtOtYfzhdYtAkM1L_AOFkVHFR_w/s1600/Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="128" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoWbQj4TQXtlWJ24zF1lCSKj-fqEyT-J-r4892ydxzsr-EoL_gmLmR6HvYvDpD-1gbkxQhsZhJloWz3v4PF0N-9sr-QYTtftvVg2KMPN3VeWI2b7hiWtOtYfzhdYtAkM1L_AOFkVHFR_w/s640/Christmas.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead I have actually watched Christmas movies </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i>instead of working on my laptop while the family enjoys movies in the background</i>).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have taken my boys sledding on days when I had piles of laundry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made cookies and treats because I wanted to, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& not because there was some pressure from some Christmas celebration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have focused on bringing Christmas magic to my 5 & 4 year old, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because lets face it ... this stage only lasts but a few short years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I don't write this to show what an awesome mom I am trying to be, or to show you what things you aren't doing, I am in an effort trying to show that enjoying the season is most important!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an effort to remove the terrible struggle I have felt inside the last few weeks, I have gotten outside myself. I have found the joy in serving my family and enjoying the true Christmas Spirit. I have focused on reading the scriptures everyday and studying them. I have tried to run on my treadmill, even if it was for 15 minutes a few times a weeks ... and I have to say it has been one of the most enjoyable Christmas seasons I have had in a number of years. I put the most important things first, and now I am catching up on those things that should come second, and I AM NOT STRESSED ABOUT IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Traditions are important to me.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Christmas Cards are important to me.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Gift Giving is important to me,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>and I can promise you that it doesn't matter when they happen in December, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>or if if they happen in January ... keeping the tradition alive is what matters.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>But <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">STRESSING</span> about it takes away from the season! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I have teamed up with <a href="http://www.peartreegreetings.com/Elvis/referred.jsp?share=938806">PEARTREEGREETINGS.COM</a> to design a simple, easy to design, and unique Christmas Card. It has taken a tremendous amount of stress off my plate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't get a family photo taken this year, and so we decided to use some snapshots / instagram photos to show what we have been up to! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, my thoughts are turned to how we can make this day a little more excited for the young folks in the family. My family is now 33 people strong, with 21 of those being Grandkids ranging from ages 25-1! It is difficult to keep everyone entertained. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While brainstorming a bit with family, friends, and neighbors ... I have come up with a few fun ideas to make your Thanksgiving fun Before, During, and After "The Turkey"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A simple project we all know and loved in school, brought to your Thanksgiving table!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply send the kids on a "leaf hunt", then when they get back, have placemat size paper (butcher paper or even 11 x 17 type paper would do), and some crayons with their paper cut off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple place the leaves under the paper and rub the long side of the crayon back over the top of the leaf until a leaf image appears. This is a tried and true project for a 4-5 year old </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and kept them busy for at least an hour!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I first sent out some invitations:</div>

I have a few dear family friends of mine going through a big trial in their lives right now. I thought of some way I could give them a little gift to show her that I am thinking of them without it being too sappy, and overly deep! I have seen a few boxes of sunshine on Pinterest, and I thought I would put one together. I couldn't believe how much fun it was for me!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** note, the tag had their name on top of the package, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I decided it would be best to keep their identity private.</div>

I started off by buying a kraft box from Hobby Lobby. I kept it natural looking and didn't decorate it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flower on top is made out of coffee filters, I dyed yellow, then when put together and dry, used some ink on the edges and gold spritz to make it sparkle. The middle is a little pom pom made out of yarn, and a button in the middle. The gift was wrapped in some cute fabric I had in my stash!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been such a fun week sharing with you the details of my segment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That I presented on <a href="http://studio5.ksl.com/">Studio 5</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am going to finish off the segment with some of the fun team swagg I found while preparing my segment. Often times the way I prepare for my segment is by buying CRAZY amounts of stuff, and hoping to use it in some way. I always over buy, over prepare, and often feel sad I didn't get to share every small detail with you. So I thought I would share with you some of my favorite fun finds while preparing my segment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So where do you find all this stuff?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well if your mind is only focused for 3 weeks on a cool party that you could throw for your favorite team, I can imagine you would find lots of rocking stuff too ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in the mean time, a great place to start is your local college bookstore!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to admit ... Football games are much more exciting to watch when you dress the part!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't, however, recommend dressing in full BYU Attire and shopping at stores in "U" Territory.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the WORST looks when I went to Trader Joe's after filming my segment! I am however PROUD to be a Cougar, and so I held my head high and smiled at everyone who gave me a dirty look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me show you the details!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You probably noticed those darling brown eyes as my model for black eye stickers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Isn't he just the most handsome thing you have ever seen?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found these customizable black eye stickers at BYU Bookstore,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if you're like me, I find it easier to just buy them online! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found some at Amazon, and you can order them <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Sports-Eye-Black-Stickers/dp/B009Z2WXA4">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite thing about these stickers is that they come with a white pencil, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you can customize it to whatever you want it to say!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I have to admit, I don't paint my nails ... I really mean I NEVER paint my nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband actually kinda laughed when I showed him by BYU nails that I painted for my segment on Studio 5. He said, "I think the last time I saw you with your nails painted, was for our wedding </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(8 years ago)! So I did them 3 times! YES ... a little extreme, but I loved the outcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found these darling nail rub-on's, and cheap nail polish at Walmart!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My thought was that if some of the "gals" at the party aren't too interested in watching the game ... Bring out the nail polish, and you'll be entertained for at least an hour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While you're at Wal-mart, don't forget some of these AWESOME face Decals too!</div>

I would love to tell you that I have this "Secret Family Recipe" for my chili, but today I am going to be honest with you! My secret family recipe is simply McCormic Chili Seasoning! YEP, I follow the recipe on the back, and WaLA! ... This is definitely a Chili you can make!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fresh Market in American Fork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need to pre-order a few days in advance by calling the bakery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know Macey's Grocery store & Ridley's in Highland can also do this for you!</div>

For those of you that don't know about BYU Brownies, I highly suggest you try these! (even if you are a true Ute Fan!) Again, they WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the ones you get from BYU have green center for the mint frosting, but because I am being all festive and stuff, I thought blue looked better for my table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also want to warn you in advance ... I did not spare the calories when making these brownies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just say that they are not on the Weight Watchers plan!!</div>

<b>BYU Mint Brownies</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brownie ingredients</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 3/4 cubes butter (melted)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/8 cup baking cocoa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 cups sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 tsp vanilla</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 1/2 cups flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp baking powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Directions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degree. Combine in a mixing bowl: melted butter, cocoa, & sugar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add eggs 1 at a time. Then add vanilla, flour, & baking powder. Pour in a greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. While brownies are baking prepare the frosting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mint & Chocolate Frosting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 cubes of butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 3/4 cup powdered sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup evaporated milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 tsp vanilla</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix all ingredients together. Split the frosting into 2 bowls (lending a little more for the chocolate). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the mint bowl, at 1 tsp mint extract, and blue food coloring. Set aside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the chocolate frosting bowl add 1/3 cup cocoa and stir until smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When brownies are cool, spread mint frosting evenly over the top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(The edges of the brownies might be crunchy, so I usually cut them off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually don't put the frosting all the way to the edges)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*** Place brownies in fridge for about 15-30 minutes to allow frosting to harden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spread chocolate frosting very carefully by making small dollops of the frosting on top of the mint. That way it will be easier to spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place again in fridge until ready to serve!</div>

I did a lot of trial and error with these cute little apples, and I think I finally got down the method.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a step by step with pictures ... but I recommend reading through my instructions as well for a few detailed tips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Collect ingredients & tools : Large red apples, (Green typically taste better, but again ... we are going for color on this party folks!) Lemon juice, melon baller, sucker sticks, carmel (See below for my homemade recipe), white chocolate chips, sprinkles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
** These will taste better if made the day of your party!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Use a melon baller to make a small circle in your apple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Place a stick in the middle of your apple ball.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Dip in lemon juice (helps it to not brown)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Dip in Carmel. ** BEST if you place in fridge for at least 30 minutes before going forward)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Dip in white chocolate, and then in sprinkles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Place in a mini muffin pan (or parchment paper works good too) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to help the apples form and stand up straight.</div>

This is a super simple way of dressing up your drinks with very little effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply remove the wrap from your blue and red gatorade drinks, and wrap them with the tape!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing I love about the tape is that if you put your gatorade / drinks in a bucket of ice, you won't have to worry about wrapping printables with clear packaging tape,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that the ink won't smear all over the place.</div>

My dad kinda laughed when I told him I was going to do a tutorial about how to construct this PVC Pipe Football Goal Post ... cause it is kinda self explanatory!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided to just give you supplies and measurements, and hopefully you can figure it out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Usually when I prepare a segment for Studio 5, I post a big HUGE long post about all the details following the segment. Rather than give you an overload this time, and because the big game isn't until September 21, I thought I would break it up and reveal my segment details each day this week!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
** UPDATE - I had a friend of mine point out that the "UTAH printable" does not display the Utah fight song correctly. I actually did this on purpose because of fear of copyright issues, as well as that I thought it fit the "FAN" table better than "MAN". If this is something you would like changed on your printable I would be happy to change it at no charge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
