Must Have Heat


I'm not really a complainer.

I'm not.

It usually bugs the garbage out of me when people complain. Even when there's reason to complain.

BUT.

I'm just sayin':

BRING ON THE HEAT.

I'm not talking sunshine.

Not "less rain."

HEAT.

As in HELIO.

SUN.

SOLAR.

Ahora mismo.

Por favor.

Rocktober

Jr at age 10. We love love love October! It is probably our favorite month. Yup, even though school is in session, October still beats any summer month. Why? Because Utah is beautiful in the fall. AND because there are so many great activities for the kids in October: hay rides to ride, corn mazes to get lost in, donuts and cider to feast on at Janae's (hint hint), spooky movies to watch (we just bought Creature From the Black Lagoon), haunted houses to tour, haunted train rides to take, jack-o-lantern pizzas to eat, carmel apples to make, soups to stew, and breads to bake! And that doesn't even include the costumes and candy! October is just fantastic in my book. So my point! SO LONG SEPTEMBER--don't let the door hit you on your way out. Hellooooooo October! PS: Because our kids are getting older, this year one of my decorations is a corkboard with some of their childhood Halloween photos. It's been a riot to look through them. I can't believe ...

What Are You Doing New Year's ... New Year's Eve?

Image
How do you celebrate the New Year? --A trip to NYC to see the crystal ball drop? --An evening out with friends, dancing the night away? --Dinner at your favorite restaurant? --Movie night? As a mother of 6 kids--ranging in ages 16 to 8--it's been a little difficult for me to plan this New Year's Eve celebration. Dave and I were thinking it would be fun to have a fondue party here at home with our kids. You know, melted chocolate, loud music, maybe some card games? It could be fun. (C) 2010, Bella Lately. But, our teenagers don't really want to spend the last minutes of 2011 with their dad, mom, and younger brothers/sisters. (Can't imagine why? I totally wanted to hang out with my parents when I was 16.) Yet, Dave and I really don't want said-teenagers out on the town at all hours of the night WITHOUT their dad, mom and younger brothers/sisters. (LOL.) And oddly, all the smallest kiddos really want to do is have a Video G...

A Year Ago . . . To THE Day

Image
I was thinking this morning about how much has happened this year! And so, I thought it would be fun to SEE what I posted on October 5th, 2010 --and then contrast it with what is happening  this year on October 5th . THEN: October 5, 2010 --I had just bought a camera to replace my broken camera. (Using a sweet coupon from Costco.)   --Our family went to our favorite pumpkin patch and picked our very own pumpkins off the vine--8 of them.   --My hair was longer. Well, longer in a short style kinda way.   --I was mid-way through my own Survivor "boot camp," going to the gym everyday at 6:30am and 4pm. (SIDENOTE: I did not know whether I'd be going on Survivor 23 at this point. I had been cast the previous year, and then cut, so all of my gym time was really just preparing myself for the possibility of S23.)   --Dave-man was working a 3am-noon shift. FUN. FUN. FUN. For everyone.   --I was on an a...
