The Rexburg Gangster

Nope, it's not me.
(and not Austin either...)

Although I'm tearing up my CNA class.
I don't know why I took that photo. 

But my mom knows me well, she got me this bag to carry all my nursing stuff :)

However, if you come by the Spori Building at campus... you might find the gangster hanging on the wall:

This is the time of year a friend taught me to appreciate back in 2010. The communication majors have a showcase of their photoshop 101 class (or something or other.) No, I am not bashing the communications, I am simply enjoying the class at our school, and some of the gems that pop up haha. Especially those small town gangstas who think they gonna blow da place up (all 5 miles squared of it here.) ;) And yes this was probably illegal to take a photo of their art.

I have to say, I have been taking full advantage of the Print Lab since realizing I won't be able to in a month! In the brown liquid --I started etching my U.S. Map plate, and that tub is almost the size of me! You can barely see it in there, in red.





I was feeling a bit of the Winter Blues, and sad about leaving school. I didn't feel too motivated after getting done with my BFA to make much art, then I picked up this newspaper and got back on it!


Austin made some super yummy tri-tip again, and Broulim's (our grocery store) started carrying nice cheeses... so we've been all excited to cook all over again :)


I've been missing some shortbread (random craving right?) and a great friend shared with me her gluten-free recipe. SUPER simple too! Check it out under the gluten-free section of our Recipe page, and the tri-tip is under the Main Dishes. (Mom got me that awesome heart cookie pan!)


(I should really start carrying my camera around, sorry for the cheap cell phone picks this week!)

Until next time, Rejoice in this Day like the Gangsta!

When Family Visits

This past weekend, we got to spend time with my lovely parents! Lance (my step-dad) and my mom came out to Rexburg to party po-dunk style with us haha! First we took them to R-Mountain which is actually a crater volcano :) Maybe you recognize it from the 4th of July adventures of Braustin? We had finals (so Austin and I look like train wrecks only getting 6 hours of sleep in the last three days...  haha!) Lance and mom were doing wonderful though, and were more energetic than us for sure!  Then we made some taffy, but what we didn't know was our candy thermometer we bought was broken in the first place. So it never rose past 150ºF despite it looking like it burned. Yeah. It ended up looking like an organ. And it also ate our black plastic spoon because it rose so high in temperature. It was molten lava! Belonged on R-Mountain that's for sure! We had Austin run back to the grocery store who sold us the defective thermometer, and ...

Joyeux Noël

My Mom and Lance came out! Austin and I took it as an opportunity to cook the heck out of our kitchen for them! We got a white Christmas which was amazing. For two reasons: Mom and Lance are from California and so it was magical for them, and it could be our last white Christmas for a while! (A lot of schools are in the South.)  My mom's side of the family is very German so we celebrate Christmas Eve. We used to have minestrone soup, but everyone hated it. So... we turned to our California roots and make tortilla soup instead. As a kid, it always made sense that Christmas happened at night. All the pictures you saw of baby Jesus were at night with the star. My mom said when she was little, she just thought German kids were special haha! I made my mom and Lance some hardcase books, a snowglobe, and got them a ceramic ornament. Santa also surprised them in the morning with a stocking ;) My grandma Hofmann used to make these egg ornaments (she passed away in 19...

Call Me a SAHM in Training

Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)  Besides a medical leave and two maternity leaves, I’ve always been a full-time plus on call nurse mom. I am now almost two months into being a SAHM and I would have to still say I’m training! A lot of you have told me routine is so important, and I’ve been trying my darndest to do that. We do library time or errands in the morning, naptime and quiet time after lunch, and art and outdoor/indoor active  play until dad comes home! Some days it blows up in my face, much like what we’d call a s-tshow at work, haha! Except these are my monkeys and my circus! But mostly because I am learning and loving it, too. I struggle with anxiety and depression. Ever since I was little. My post-partum depression with R was so difficult. I am so lucky to have an incredible husband and health team that honestly kept me alive during that time. Luckily, I was treated prior to giving birth to A too because a) it was known I get PPD and b) it’s better and easier to tr...
