Friday FIVE

1. I am really into trying new recipes lately. Not all have been successful, but it's fun to try new and different things. I just got a new ward cookbook recently and am having fun going through it and picking out my neighbor's favorites to try. And I love going through magazines and finding great recipes. Oh, and Annemarie has a wonderful cooking blog you should check out!




2. Summer weddings. We went to a friend's wedding this past weekend and I love seeing all the wedding garb... the beautiful dresses, the flowers, the food, the cake, the pictures, wedding video, gift table, etc... I think I should have been a wedding planner. Wouldn't that be a FUN job?



3. Bath & Body Works. They are having their semi-annual sale right NOW. Need I say more?


4. I'm kind of into sewing again lately. I guess I should be, I just spent $170 to get my sewing machine fixed/tuned up. It's a great little machine though and is 15 years old. Now it's running like it's brand new. I love making things. I'm even thinking about making some items and seeing if I can sell them on eBay.




5. This one is boring, but I love this toothpaste: Crest Whitening Expressions Cinnamon Rush Liquid Gel. I don't like mint flavored toothpaste - when I was pregnant with Kesley, I had a really bad adversion to mint flavor, it would make me dry heave. And I still can't stand it, so this flavor is my absolute fav!

Dentist visit

Today was Hallie's first visit to the dentist. It didn't go quite as planned, but was exactly what I expected. I went first and she watched as I got my teeth cleaned. The whole time she kept saying, "I don't like the dentist", "I don't want to be here", "C'mon mom, let's go home." Seeing me go first did NOT calm her nerves and she refused to get in the chair when it was her turn. After some big crocodile tears from Hallie and major coaxing from me, she finally let Dr Kim look at her teeth (clenched) and he counted them. So glad I paid a co-pay to find out she has 20 teeth. Oh, well - I have 6 months to prepare her and practice for our next visit.
