People really are good!

I am truly amazed by people and their willingness to help a complete stranger. The world really is good. Whether you auction something off, bid on an item(s), or just donate out of the goodness of your heart.......I know NieNie and her family will be grateful for your efforts. I had never heard of NieNie before the accident, and I'm blown away with how many people are rallying on her behalf. Check out all the fun auctions, there are SO many amazing things people are auctioning off on their behalf.

I have to add to check this out, the most interesting auction yet.

Project WHAT?

While I was watching Project Runway this week, I had to ask myself "What in the world am I wasting my time watching?" I for sure wasn't loving the drag queen episode.

I'm hoping Keith or Kenley make it far, cause they are both AMAZING!

Kid Books

I think think this blog is coming to an end. I wanted to have it to show fun craft ideas, but I have been lacking in that department lately. So it has mostly been a boring book/tv show blog. And that is lame. But for today I thought I'd share a couple more of my favorite kid books. Does anyone know of a blog or website with GOOD kid books? I've found a few, but then the books turn out to be LAME.

I'm loving Five Little Monkeys Play Hide and Seek

by Eileen Christelow

It's a little longer that her other toddler monkey books.

Pat the Bunny

by Dorothy Kunhardt

Both of my boys can't seem to get enough of this book. It's a touch and feel book.

The Hills Season Premiere

I'm happy to announce that I finally have gotten my fix of The Hills. Well, let me take that back. I was REALLY disappointed that it wasn't an hour long, because really when they are 30 minute episodes they turn out to be like 13 minutes after all the recaps and commericals.

So I used to be a Lo hater, but after tonight's episode I am totally on her side. Forget Audrina. Spencer and Heidi had their scripts rehearsed as usual. And I'm sure the "thing" going on between Lauren and Doug won't last. Does it ever?

I'm already looking forward to next Monday. Sad, but true.

Loopy

I found a new favorite kids book. It's really short though, and I kind of wish it was a bit longer. It's called Loopy and is written by Aurore Jesset. It reminds me of Jackson's Ooh-Aah, because the book is about a little kids' stuffed animal being left at the doctor's office. Really cute book, especially if your kid has a stuffed animal they can't live without!

If only......

I had 18 million dollars, I would buy LC's parents house in Laguna Beach. Every time they have showed the house on The Hills or Laguna Beach I imagine how it would be to live in such luxury. Mostly though I just love the view and the pool. I think I could deal with living in Cali if I could live here. Back to reality........

Oh, and for all of you who have never seen The Hills, you really are missing out on all the drama. I hate having drama in my own life, but I do like to watch other people whose lives are filled with it. And this season looks like it won't disappoint! Starts Monday on MTV.

Scanlan Gallery

My mom told me about this gallery on Main Street in Park City, but when we went there it was even more amazing that I could have imagined. They have the most beautiful images I have seen in my life. They have one of the Lofoten Wall in Norway that I am obsessed with. I would LOVE to have one in my house someday. If you're ever in the area, you have to stop and check it out.

FHE IDEAS

I always have a hard time finding FHE lessons that a 3 and 1 year old will be interested in, which I know is completely normal. What 1 or 3 year old has more than a 2 minute attention span, if that? Well, I found this FHE Blog designed specifically for little ones. I LOVE IT! Even if my kids are whiny and crying throughout it all. I know it helps, and I just kept telling myself that I'm getting lots of blessings! Ha!

Tonight we did this lesson on prayer. Jackson needed a refresher course on folding his arms and closing his eyes. I thought it was cute, easy, and it gets the job done.

JUST LIKE PAPA

I want to go to the store RIGHT NOW and buy this Polaris Ranger for my boys. They want to ride on my dad's Ranger CONSTANTLY, so I think they would be IN LOVE with this.

Really though, they don't need it. So I guess just in my dreams they will have it.

Something Intersting.....

I loved this post over at Tangled and True asking people how much they pay a babysitter. It obviously varies according to where you live. The first time we left the kids with a babysitter I really had no idea how much to pay. Actually, I still don't really know how much to pay. I usually just get one of the girls from church to come over for a couple of hours when I do get a babysitter, and they are 11 or 12 years old. Our 1 year old has always been in bed, so really it's just our 3 year old. And speaking of him ...... last time he stayed up in his bed for 2 hours when the babysitter was here. He HATES having a babysitter. I felt so bad. He wasn't even asleep, he was just chillin' there. SAD.
