Girls' Day Camp.

At our church, the 8-11 year old girls have meet biweekly for activities. Then, in the summer, they have a day camp. I didn't plan or carry out any of this, so I can't take any credit. But I went to help out, as my daughter was in the group of girls who participated. It was so cute, I had to take some pictures and share. The theme for the camp was "We can do it!", and they used Rosie the Riveter for inspiration. 
They put up this cute sign in the gym for the girls to take pictures with.
The girls each got a bag with a cute red and white polka dot headband and red lipstick, which they were so excited about. Then they were put into small groups and went to a number of different classes in different rooms. 
This was their "Friendship Snack", where each girl brought in a fave snack and then dumped it all in one bowl. The girls loved it.
The girls learned to make dutch oven pies. They were delicious.
  They got to make these adorable heart string boards.
 A nurse in our congregation taught them CPR and basic first aid and had them put together little first aid kits.
In between their classes, they got to sit and talk and eat their snack in the "hang out room". Their leaders brought in bean bag chairs and patio type lounging chairs and blankets on the floor. It felt so cozy. The girls had so much fun together.

 Each girl colored a "This Is Me" picture with their goals and talents depicted on it. 
 They also sewed pot holder purses, which my daughter loved! 
 It was such a fun day, and to top it all off, the girls were taught a little dance to the song, "This Is Me", and then they performed it for their parents at the end of the day. 

There were many tears, including my own. It was so precious watching these girls dance their hearts out. They each are so special.

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned.  I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them.  And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much.   The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them.   This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Recipe Share: Egg and Veggie Scramble with Toast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. It's easy, healthy, and delicious. It is also very satisfying to know that you're eating veggies in your breakfast!!   And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro. Toast your bread, and enjoy together!
