High 60’s

By Leave a Comment

High 60’s in December ? Yes Please!

today was exactly what I needed 💖💜💗 .
It’s been the craziest December and getting away from everything was exactly what we our family needed to do .
We got into st George at 3am and it’s just been one of those go with the flo kinda days
.
We started off by dropping Dallin off at Zion’s
.
the kids and I tried finding waffles but ended up getting grinch pancakes at IHOP (kids saw it on a commercial) .
bought the only pool toy we could find (it’s really a snow tube) .
walked to club house (well technically we got lost & hitchhiked👍🏻) you guys it was literally right by our House 🙆🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
.
Long story short, having ZERO agenda after rushing around the last 20 days with a mile long list of “to-dos” has been PERFECT in EVERY WAY ☀️

Grinch Toast

After the busiest day of the year, school choir performances, class parties, polar express, driving to St. George all we wanted to do was lay in our hotel room at the Entrada and eat waffles. Dallin wanted to hike Zions so we dropped him off while the kiddos and I went to IHOP. The kids had seen that IHOP serves green pancakes, grinch toast and green hot cocoa and it was yummy!

Hey friends Im so excited to announce the giveaway I am hosting with Hamilton Beach. We’ve teamed up and we are giving away a Flex Brew 2-Way, dual heater, single-serve mug, coffee maker to one of you. This versatile brewer is perfect for snuggly nights and hectic mornings. I love how it accommodates both coffee grounds along with hot cocoa in K- Cups. Brew a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for yourself or for the whole family.

The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Coffee Maker will make serving holiday guests coffee or hot cocoa easy.  You can easily serve a crowd or one with the two ways to brew featureI’m especially excited to use my Hamilton Beach Flex Brew when Santa comes to our home for Breakfast in about two weeks. This is our families favorite tradition. We used to do a public breakfast with Santa, but nothing beats an intimate breakfast with Santa in the comfort in your own home. Our hot cocoa bar with our new Hamilton Beach Flex Brew is going to be a huge hit when all the cousins get together.

Whats your favorite tradition? I have so many and love gathering more as our family evolves.

Lately I’ve been savoring every minute of December and loving all the time we’re getting to spend together as a family.

Along with hosting this giveaway our family is currently making and sipping hot cocoa with our new Hamilton Beach Flex Brew & watching Hallmark Channel #tistheseason

Officially my new favorite space in my home, it’s amazing what good lighting can do to a room.
.
just a little obsessed over here with my chandelier from Corbett Lighting. Its been so fun to look back and see how much my home has changed from when we first bought it.

All I want to do now is do the carpet in the kids bedrooms and on the stairs (that is just dependent on if we get the puppy for Christmas or not, still haven’t decided on that)

Shannon Bird: In an overshare society, not sharing everything with everyone helped me achieve healing, forgiveness

The interviewer was more than sweet, even worked around my crazy schedule and we finally got to speak at 7 in the morning. I have never been more nervous in my life.

I told him before we spoke we cannot talk about my past, the years prior to 2009. But sure enough after some caffeine, being up all night from nerves, the conversation went there. Which is why that podcast WILL NEVER make it on air.

On my drive home, after my interview, I went over some of the things that were said, exposing my personal struggles and things that I have kept hidden deep within. And I thought, those are my pearls/dirty laundry that I do not ever need to share. And for what? And for who? So he thankfully pulled it.

Why? Because before 2009, my life was nothing but anxiety. Friends, making high school sports teams, ACT scores, college, boyfriends who become missionaries who then come home early to try to persuade you to marry them after you dumped them on the awkward phone call on Mother’s day, work, home life, speaking at graduation after making a list of all the boys you’d like to kiss before you leave high school regardless if they had girlfriends or not, and whether their girlfriends were your friends too, and then you check everyone off your list and have to stand up in front of your entire class and look at everyone in the eyes. … DRAMA!
