Layering

Let me introduce you to the T-let...



Scoop t-let

The t-let is an awesome layering accessory from Getti's Accessories! I would describe it as a sports bra, although it isn't tight and uncomfortable like a sports bra. It keeps you covered without giving you an extra top to wear. I also really like their Crop tops that have sleeves. I really love wearing these with a dress, it keeps my dress from having a shirt underneath that sometimes bunches and twists in an unflattering way. Getti's Accessories is a new company that started last year, and so if you need a new layering option, you should consider supporting them! They are also on etsy.

Food Storage is Fun!


Today I found a new cookbook that I think would be a wonderful addition to my cookbook library. It gives recipes that you use everyday and shows how to use your food storage in those recipes, how great is that! You can find a great recipe for gingerbread pancakes and buttermilk syrup here or you can check the entire book out here.

Pumpkinland!

If you live in Utah, this might be a fun thing for your family to do together. Or you could go trick or treat at the zoo!

Journal Made Easy


When I was younger, I used to be really diligent with writing in my journal. But then I started to get behind, and eventually gave up.
I recently discovered this amazing website where you can keep a journal online! You can upload pictures and videos, you can organize it. They give you suggestions to write about if you can't think of something, and they even send you reminder emails! (And no worries, it's all free!)
This has been really great for me. I'm still getting back in the habit of journal writing, but this website really helps! I highly recommend it!
