This is real life. The truth is, I'm not that great at it. But this is it, and it is my life. You want me to post pictures of what I wear every day? You'd have a collaboration of different yoga pants, and oversized t-shirts--some worn multiple days in a row {cringe}! You want to know my toddler lunch meal ideas? They often vary between dino nuggets, pb&j, or ravioli--but hey, at least it's the frozen kind and not Chef Boyardee...although that has made a few appearances! You want pictures of my home decor? Well my house is usually a mess. There are dishes in the sink and laundry to be put away. Most days, with my two crazy sidekicks calling the shots, I don't have time to shower, and rarely even do my hair {am I really admitting this in a public forum?!}! But this is life, and it is my life. And I'm lucky enough to get to share it with an amazing husband and the 3 cutest kids in the world, so no matter how you look it, I'm the luckiest!

"My Neighbor"

By Mister Rogers

It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

I have seriously awesome neighbors. They really are the best. I absolutely love all the girls in my neighborhood and I am so glad I have become good friends with so many of them. The kids in the neighborhood are great too. I adore them!

So yesterday I was up in Bountiful all day and Mike came and met me up there for my family's weekly "Survivor Night." When he arrived he brought in these two "presents" wrapped up in orange butcher paper. One of them said "TO HEATHER" written really big on it. He said they were from 2 of the kids in the ward, Cameron and Celeste and that they had brought them over earlier that day. Cameron is one of Spencer's best friends in the neighborhood and Celeste is his little sister. They are really cute kids and so sweet! Anyway, I proceeded to open the present from Cameron and inside there were 2 pink Starbursts! In the one from Celeste there were 3 pink Laffy Taffies (another one of my favorites). Apparently they went through their Halloween candy and picked these out for me. I thought it was so adorable and sweet! I remember not wanting to share my Halloween candy with anyone when I was little and they decided to share it with their NEIGHBOR! I was so touched. I could not stop smiling.
