Buckets of Surprises

Juno has been attached to us when we come home from work... literally (she jumps inbetween your legs and purrs and rubs while you walk causing many a trips and tumbles). She waits and waits, and watches what you're doing. And like the classic cat, she has to be a part of it. While I make my lunch, she's gotta hop up to see what's happening too (no, there will be no cat-hair sandwiches on my watch.) Shoo kitty shoo....

Still love you and that you love me!


Banished. lol. 

I came home from work today much greeted by Juno, and by the crazy thunderstorm. As you can see we have the roofers over because our house needs a lot of work. 

Well, half the roof is stripped. Which means I had to get five buckets out to catch the flooding from the ceiling lol! Juno was freaking out because of the LOUD thunder cracks, and a wave of rain hit her in her favourite window. Then the ceiling got her wet too lol. Poor thing was out of her mind.



Surprise! 

I also got another surprise though --a birthday present from my cousins and Aunt! Michelle (cousine) does such wonderful jewelry and has a store:

visit .:Here:.

(fifthandmay.com)

She sent me a Wyoming 14k gold state necklace and it is soo cute and dainty! And just to throw a little hoo-rah out to her store, most of her stuff is $10 and below. The special necklaces like this one she sells for $12.95!


Also in the package they sent me, was a lunchbox that is cuter than heck. It's not so lunchboxy. If you know me I carry these things everywhere because I can't really eat out or eat other people's food. 


Plus, my latest lunchbox (and boy was it old) died a horrible death in a food item explosion. 
Perfect timing.

I did save my keys and my hamster keychain. I was half tempted to throw him out, but I just couldn't... the guy has been one of those odd things you save from when you are little... one of those weird nonsensical things that have always been a part of your life. 

So he got a dawn soap bath. 

If you think this is pathetic, you should have seen him even before the explosion.
 
 
After all those happenings, (because I have to get up at 3:30am) I had to have me a bowl of my faaaavourite thing right now before I sleep --pao di quiejo.I always bake tons of it because it can be used for everything. I make buns, rolls, and mini muffin bites. My favourite recipe is on our recipe page. Last night I was craving a burger, but a good ol' fast food kind. So I made some pao di quiejo buns, got a burger from Wendy's with Austin and holy crap I died. (Dude, this stuff is cheesy bread. A cheesy bread freaking Baconator. YEAH.) 
 
Glorious. Warm cheesy bread. 
 

 


And with that, good night and sweet dreams of deliciousness. 
 
xoxo from this 14k decked out Wyoming girl ;)

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...

Holiday Hullabaloo

It is full blown Christmas at the Carmens! The boys have been busy with holiday crafts, decorating and drawing. Because the colder weather draws us indoors and off our scooters and bikes (though we still go on walks these days in the bike trailer all bundled up)  Our house these days looks more like this: We’ve had so much fun doing all the typical holiday crafts and baking with the boys! We went to Queensgate Gardens where they got to meet Santa and make their own ornament. We also made a Costco ginger bread house (you guys this thing is $9 and prebuilt!), snow globes, sugar cookies, decorated foam gingerbread men... the holidays are the best to fill your time up with kid activities.                                                Finally, and for the first time ever I have a dedicated crafting space. We are still in our apartment saving and waiting for the perfec...

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 ...
