A few of my favorite things...

I just thought I'd pass along a few of my new favorites

First...
This moisturizer is amazing! Not only does it provide protection with SPF 15, but it also gives you a subtle sun-kissed look. I've been wearing it every day (plus spending a couple of hours every day outside at the park), and my face is starting to feel - and look - ready for summer.






And...
I love peanut butter! I first tried this natural peanut butter at my parents' house, and then again at my neighbors'. Now I'm addicted. Unlike other natural peanut butters, it doesn't separate so you won't have to stir it. I love the purely peanut-buttery taste.







To go along with that...
While packing your yummy peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunch, throw in some Quaker Simple Harvest granola bars. They actually manage to capture the taste of homemade granola, especially the cinnamon brown sugar with apples and cranberries. I originally bought them for Stetson, but I hogged them all.


And Stetson's favorite...
The Backyardigans! I love this show, too. It allows me to take a shower while Stetson eats breakfast, plus it features fun music and great choreography. I must say, I relate to Tasha, who loves to play the boss. How can you not love a character who sings, "Queens are never wrong"? Lafe and I find ourselves whistling or humming the songs all day, and Stetson loves to bust a move alongside the Backyardigans.

Spring Break

We had a wonderful time during our Spring Break. We started out the week in Palmyra, New York where we were able to visit historical sites of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although the weather was a little cold and wet, we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend the bed and breakfast where we stayed -- Liberty House. It was perfect! We stayed in the downstairs bedroom, but there are two spacious rooms upstairs as well. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts so gracious. You can see just how much Stetson enjoyed the room. There was an entire wall lined with all sorts of books to read. But my favorite part was when we put Stetson to bed and then stayed up playing Scrabble in the parlor and eating snacks.

We spent the morning at the Hill Cumorah and Smith Farm, then we had lunch downtown. We ate huge pieces of pizza at Mark's and sampled some excellent fudge at the Candy Corner. After the publication site of the Book of Mormon, we went to the Peter Whitmer farm. It was a very memorable trip for our family.













After a little spring cleaning, we spent the rest of our break celebrating warmer weather (finally!) by taking walks, playing at parks and enjoying our backyard.
