If you saw our Summer Favorites post, you can probably tell that I’m a little obsessed pictures of the sky. I was talking to Dallas the other day and told him that in my art classes, some of my teachers say how pictures or paintings of the sky can be a little bit cliche sometimes. But when I see the … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
+ Groovefest & Kanarraville Falls – At the end of June, Dallas’ and my families came to see us! Cedar City is basically named Festival City because we have so many stinkin’ festivals.

I stayed far away from planning weekly meals for a long … Continue reading “5 Lessons Learned From Planning Weekly Meals”
This past week I have been really grateful for the internet. Let me explain. Since we’ve been married our diet has consisted of tortillas, chicken, black beans, tomatoes…basically, we ate Mexican food in different forms (which is all Mexican food is, right?).
