We've moved!

Good Morning! I thought I better add another installment- it's been awhile!

We have finished our move! Yeah! We are now in the Sugarhouse area of SLC, and are really enjoying it. We are in a duplex, on a nice quiet street. There are a few kids on the block that are the same ages as mine.

Our ward is really great. It is very, very small. The primary has about 15 kids that show up, and so they were very excited to have our 3 come in! Tanner is really liking his class, and McKenzie is loving nursery. Then there is Michael. *sigh* He has never been a fan of nursery/primary. I had to stay with him the entire time the first week, which was fine. The second week, Mark walked by 1/2way through and heard him crying, so went in with him. Hopefully someday he'll be happy! We don't have calling yet, but expect them soon, and this ward needs help!

Our jobs are going well. DDSweets is doing well too. I have added 11 new creations to my etsy shop. In doing this, I have discovered my two absolutely favorite Caramel Apple flavors: "Nutella wanna-be Hazelnut Caramel Apple" and my "Peanut Butter Caramel Apple" in which I use the PB topping from my PB popcorn. It is divine. It tastes a lot like a Snickers bar, only with more PB taste. YUM!

Tanner starts Kindergarten soon, and we're hoping to get Michael into a Preschool. Life continues to be crazy with 3 kids and multiple jobs!

We would love to hear from family and friends! Our phone numbers and emails are the same; if you would like our new address, let me know!

Have a great day!

My first Etsy Treasury!

I just got my very first treasury on Etsy. A treasury is a place to show off other Etsians work, not your own. The demand to get a treasury is very high, and you have to know just when they are opened and snag one fast! Here it is! I featured items from my FAM (Fabulous Artistic Mom" Street Team. Enjoy! As always, click on the pics for more information or to go buy!

Etsy Favorites

Good Morning! I'm bored at work today, so I thought I would show you some of my Etsy Favorites! These are from Sellers I've bought from, or I wish I could buy from! Click on any of the pictures below to go to their Etsy shops! Have fun looking!

We're moving!!

Good Morning! I wanted to announce to the great big Web World that we are moving! Yeah! We've been living in the In-laws basement, and now are moving about 20min. south into a Duplex that we will manage for Mark's parents. It is in a very nice neighborhood, with good schools. This move will happen this weekend! Yeah!

Etsy news: My store is temporarily "closed" while we are moving. I hope to re-open on Monday, June 16th. NEW FLAVORS of Popcorn and Apples are coming soon!!

Weekend News: My Aunt D is moving this week to London to spend 6 months there teaching. What fun! So, this past Saturday she had a goodbye party. My Grandparents were there, and it was good to see them. We had the party at a park in Provo. Tanner discovered a water fountain outside our Pavillion that didn't have a basin. The water just went down to the ground which was mud and tiny pebbles. By the time we left, there was a lake and lots and lots of mud. Tanner and McKenzie were covered in mud and shivering because they were wet and cold! Tanner was actually sitting in his "lake" shivering, but refused to get out! So, we went to Aunt A's house and cleaned them up. They had to wear their cousins shirt until their clothes were clean. McKenzie loved this, and was dancing around the house in her big shirt. Tanner thought it was "stupid". But, we tied the bottom of his shirt so it was like wearing shorts, and then he didn't mind!

Sunday my brothers came to visit! They were in town visiting an Uncle who took them camping. We only got to see them for a few hours, but it was a lot of fun. They are so grown up. I still think of them as little boys, but they are men now. Where does the time go?

So, it was a good weekend surrounded by friends and family. There is no better way to spend your time!

Have a great week!

What I did last weekend

I have crazy moments in my business, as I'm sure all of you do. Last weekend I dipped 101 Caramel Apples!!! They were for 2 local schools celebrating teacher apprecitation day. What a great gift- "Apples for the Teacher"!

Here are some pictures of my adventure! (Don't worry- the kids didn't touch!)

The apples arrived on time, and everyone enjoyed them! I'm doing 34 more apples this weekend! I'm basically buried up to my elbows in caramel and chocolate! But having a ball!

Have a great weekend everybody!
