happy halloween



October has always been my favorite month ever since I decided I had a favorite month. The change and colors are just wonderful! Here are some memories I have of this month:

+ Dressing up as a family every halloween
+ Pumpkin Patches
+ Craft Fairs
+ New Boot Season
+ The start of Hot Chocolate
+ Carving Pumpkins
+ Hay Rides
+ Carmel Apples
+ Raking Leaves for our Grandparents
+ Pretending to Rake Leaves from our trees at home (that were more like twigs)
+ Trunk or Treating at church

Happy Halloween!

also* my posts are acting funny and have disappeared and they are showing up in the wrong order. I'm sorry about this. We will just keep blogging on!

Favorite Things Guest Post!

My dear friend, Lauren Dominguez has been coming up with brilliant ways of posting through the week. I'm trying to get into the habit of blogging everyday, and she has helped! 
Here is a little bit about her:
She is a mother and wife. A mother to the cutest little Maelie. She graduated BYU-Idaho in Spring 2013 with her degree in Elementary Education. She completed her student teaching while she was pregnant. AKA she is AWESOME. We would have "parenthood" show nights and "Call the midwife" and "Bachelor" show nights at her place when she lived in Rexburg, ID. She currently lives in Oklahoma with her little family while her husband finishes his Internship.
And here is her blog! http://davidandlaurendominguez.blogspot.com/



Lauren’s Favorite things:

Cherry flavored “Granny” ChapStick —This delicious ChapStick is what my Granny has had with her ever since I can remember (hence the name “Granny” ChapStick)-- in her purse, in the glove box, in the night stand drawers and the tables next to her rocking chair. This is the ONLY ChapStick that does the job for me. It’s not just the brand, but the specific flavor is what I’m obsessed with. You can get a 3-pack for $2.94 at Walmart.

Mainstay Warm Apple Pie Candle—This candle has been smelling up my apartments for a long time! It is less than $5 at, once again, Walmart. The scent is strong enough to fill your home, but won’t make you pass out from being too strong.

McDonald’s chocolate chip cookies—In Oklahoma you can get 3 of these pieces of heaven for $1. I’ll be honest, there was a week or two in my short time here in Oklahoma that I got these 4 out of 7 days in the week. I was slightly obsessed.

Red Band Society—So when Fall comes around I turn into a TV junkie. I have my shows that I’ve watched for multiple seasons, but I usually try out a new show too…this Fall is Red Band Society on FOX. So far I’m happy with my choice.

Pancake Art by Nathan Sheilds on YouTube—So maybe it sounds childish, but I could watch his videos for HOURS! I mean, I thought I was pretty cool when I figured out I could make a Mickey Mouse pancake…I’ve got nothing on this guy! This guy makes intense pancake art including beetles, The Beatles, Apes, and Zombies! Maybe one day I’ll even be brave enough to try it myself. Check him out!
