Easter is such a special day. There is so much emphasis put on The Savior, and it is so good to be able to remember His incredible sacrifice for us. It really started for me after Elder Holland's talk about Jesus. It is always such a great reminder that we really are on the Right side and that He truly does KNOW how we feel. I am so grateful for my testimony of the Gospel, and it means the world to me to have my kids now learning the true meaning of Easter.

"It's Not What You Know..."


Sophie modeling the bow







I just had to do a post on some recent gifts I have been given. First, my sister Krystal
made me the cutest bow for Sophie. I didn't believe her at first when she said she made it because it looks just the bows I have been buying! She does the best job and it was way sweet of her to think of Sophs. Then, my friend Natalie made a tutu for Sophie. The pictures don't do it justice, but it is the cutest one I have ever seen. I bought one for Sadie and Natalie made Sophie's to match, but Sophie's is way cuter then the one I bought for Sadie. Oh my gosh, I am so spoiled with such talented people in my life.

*If anyone wants to buy any bows or tutu's custom to your colors just email me - I asked and Krys and Natalie said they would be happy to sell you one!!
