If you are like us, you might be having guests coming in from out of town. We are still working on our FUN LIST for the weekend, but here are a few things earning top consideration:
Thursday night: dinner… Not sure on this one, if I don’t decide to turn my guests into guinea pigs on [...]
One of my favorite events - that I never seem to make it out for - is a parade! I suppose I don’t get there as much anymore because parades just aren’t what they used to be. One of the best parts of a parade (besides free candy!) is the music. You know, the youth marching [...]
Last night, my dear husband and I were laying in bed and heard a loud pop. You guessed it…some idiot was letting off fire crackers…in the foothills…during a wind storm! How totally asinine! Moments later, we heard/saw the fire truck barreling down the road. Little did we know there were actually two brush fires in Hidden Springs [...]
I escaped on Friday…
From the house…
BY MYSELF!
Destination? Eagle, Idaho. A girlfriend and I were celebrating birthdays and decided a super cheap pedicure was in order … and lunch, too.
We decided to try this place called Rosy Nails and made an appointment ahead of time. The pedicure was not too bad. It was definately not about [...]

2. Go white water rafting - 1/2 day or full day trip! http://www.cascaderaft.com/ (Note: if you are freaked out about it, just know this, my husband and I did this a few [...]

Note: This event happens to be at my church, and is an event that I’m helping to promote (but to be clear, I’m not being compensated for this!).
You can hear more from Caleb [...]
We had some friends over this weekend for a BBQ and officially test out our imaginary table (see previous post “Shattered” for details…). Table aside, I got a great tip from one of my friends who told me about a fantastic home decor place I’ve been wanting to check out in Nampa called “Graples.” It’s [...]
