Friday Dates with Mom

My mom and I have gone up to the Homestead Resort the last two Fridays for a lunch date at Fanny’s Grill on the patio right on the golf course and next to a pond with ducks and fish. There are os many fun things to do in Utah, but so much I haven’t even touched on yet. We knew it would be fun, but we had no idea how charming and beautiful it would be! I picked up my grandpa the second time and he loved it too. Sitting outside in the shade with the gorgeous weather was perfect and peaceful, and Harris and Goldie loved watching the ducks and looking at the fish. Both of them tried to put their legs over the railing and jump in. Ha!! My job as a mother right now is to prevent them from harm. I mean, I guess it always will be, but physically right now more than anything else!

If you go, I would highly recommend the salmon tacos. We shared the Asian salad and salmon tacos the first time, and then both got the fish the second time. We kept eyeing the giant onion rings but resisted. I think we need to go back this Friday! What is life without giant onion rings, really?!

Our waitress was so kind and brought out two plastic cups with straws with their macaroni and cheese. Harris and Goldie had never sucked out of a straw before, but when my mom held it up to Harris, he started drinking like he had always done it and didn’t choke at all. He’s a wise soul 😉 Since then, I have made them mac and cheese several times, and now Goldie gets mad and won’t eat her veggies when she sees that a pot of mac and cheese is on the stove. She literally threw the biggest fit today with giant tears and all when I tried feeding her her veggie puree before her main course! Harris was gobbling it down, happy as a clam, and Goldie kept yelling at me and looking back at the stove. At one point, Harris and I both started laughing at her. It cracked me up. I mean, I guess I can’t blame the girl. Noodles, cheese, whole milk and butter. What’s not to love? She is a one-year-old foodie at heart. I think she gets it from her mama.

We stopped by the gift shop on our way out (that sells homemade fudge by the way…see where Goldie gets it from?!) and my mom saw a bracelet that Goldie just had to have. I bought it for her and it has me thinking, “how did my little girl make it to one-year-old before getting her first bracelet?!” She thought it was interesting and loved to touch it with her finger, and it has been on her pretty little wrist ever since.

After we had lunch both times, we stopped by the cutest decor barn called something like, “All the Things in the Barn.” I saw these giant metal sunflowers the first time I went and couldn’t get them out of my head so I bought them last time. My dream is to have a little charming garden with a white picket fence around it and I’m going to make it happen bit by bit. My goal next year is to actually plant the plants that I buy instead of letting them die a slow death in the sun, sitting close to the dirt that was intended for them, and yet never seeing their full potential.

I hope you have a happy Monday! Let me know if you end up going up to the Homestead Resort for lunch. It was charming and dreamy and just what a Friday afternoon should consist of.

  • We were in the car driving today playing “I Spy.” Goldie kept looking at an ornament in her hand she had created and listing all of the colors on it, but when we guessed that her ornament was the object she spied, she kept telling us no. Finally, Harris guessed her ornament again and she said, “Yes!” I said, “Goldie, I already guessed that a few times!” She replied with, “You guys are horrible at this game!!!!” as she shook with rage Then... Goldie: “I’m going to play I Spy by myself!! I spy with my little eye something blue!”
  • There have been moments, weeks and years in motherhood raising these two that I legitimately thought I might not make it. Exhausted, pure chaos 99% of the time. Figuring it out as I went and learning more than I wanted to in such a short about of time. Wondering if I would EVER get enough sleep again and making hypothetical escape plans to go to a hotel by myself in the middle of the night to just get some uninterrupted sleep. A woman gets desperate!! I had a moment in the car today where I just honestly COULD NOT BELIEVE
  • Why do we insist on fighting so hard for our limitations? “Oh, I’m not good at that! I promise!” “I’m so bad at ____” Someone gives us a compliment and, “Thank you! But ______ (fill in the blank to point out why they’re wrong and how you have so much further to go). STOP IT! You are a GIFT to this world and have SO MUCH TO GIVE. There are things that you can do that ONLY you can do. Stop people pleasing. You shining like the beautiful human that you are does not take away anything that anyone else
  • Walking into date night tonight like wahoo!!!!! Are you a weekend date night couple or a weekday date night couple? We are actually thinking week days might be wayyy less crowded everywhere. We might try it a few times! But then again it’s nice to have something to look forward to on the weekend, too (Outfit linked: http://liketk.it/35AYv #liketkit @liketoknow.it app asliceofstyle) #datenight
  • My family wanted to get some fresh air today with a walk and bike ride outside (32 degrees but still we do what we can in Utah!) and I ALMOST said, “you go without me...I need to clean this messy house up!” Then I remembered something I learned and committed to. I want my actions to reflect my priorities. In 14 years when my kids move out, will I be SO glad that I cleaned the house first? Not if it means missing out on a fun family adventure. My kids are 4 ONCE. I have this rule in my
  • What is the one thing you remember most from your wedding day? I remember walking into the room that we got married in and seeing almost everyone I loved all in one place, smiling at us. I loved all of the stunning details of the reception, the food, the dancing and the beauty…but it’s the overwhelming feeling of love I got from thinking, “These people are all here for us. What a tribe.” My sister @jocelynstimpson’s dress is from @thebridesshop and they generously agreed to give you $150 off accessories if you or your people buy your dress from their
  • After my Epstein-Barr health issues and fighting for my energy last year I am now HYPER conscious of what I put in my body. I am a HUGE cheerleader of brands who actually CARE what goes into our bodies and have developed foods that are GOOD for us. We apparently don’t smile with our eyes but I PROMISE you we are happy and smiling about @jojoschocolatebark now being offered at even more Costco locations! NEW locations: California, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri & Wisconsin (200+ Total)! Why I LOVE Jojo’s
  • One of my favorite people on this planet had her 30th birthday today! She is an incredible mother, an incredible entrepreneur, an incredible friend and such a beautiful human both inside and out. I learn from her and am blessed by her example every day! I love you @rachparcell!! Happy birthday!!
