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.

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess
Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

Fun times in the Parcell house right now! 😂 #parcellsundayselfie 5/15/22
