Hosting a Simple White Bridal Shower
Tips to Host the Perfect Simple White Bridal Shower featured by Utah lifestyle blog, By Jen Rose

I love hosting people! It brings me so much joy to be surrounded by people I love. I think it is because we grew up living near family and every week there was some type of “event.” It could be as simple as going to a siblings football game or a family member’s birthday dinner or extravagant as having a bunch of people over from…

Gold, White, & Pink Deer Birthday Party

I’m thrilled to be sharing my little girl’s deer birthday party today! She picked a character a long time ago and we couldn’t find much that we liked to go with it, so a few weeks ahead of time while I was folding laundry, it hit me. I already had a few deer decorations and the ideas started flowing. Come celebrate our dear Lynden became…

What We Wore – Baby Girl’s 1st Birthday Party

 I shared our little girl’s 1st birthday party a couple of days ago. It only took me 4 months to post, but better late than never right?! I had grand intentions of taking family pictures to use for Christmas cards until I found out it was going to be 109 degrees that day. Hence, I got out of the shower and didn’t even blow dry…

1st Birthday Party – Vintage Carousel Pony Theme

I’m finally getting around to sharing our sweet girl’s 1st birthday. This was a special one not only because she turned 1, but because her Uncle Ben was getting ready to head out on a mission for our church so it was a huge family affair. I threw it a month early so he could celebrate with her. I had a blast getting ready for…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Birthday Party

My baby boy turned 6 recently! I still have a little negotiating room with him so when he said ninja party, I said how about Ninja Turtle birthday party and it was decided! My friend, Lora Knight, came and took pictures all morning for the Ninja Turtle birthday party. I love how they came out! She also made a quick video! It’s at the bottom…

Instagram post 18193743976026818 1, 2, or 3 garlands? As I’m taking down our Valentine’s mantle, I’m wondering if you’d go more simple or if you go more extra when you decorate for holidays? 💗
Instagram post 18148849675137453 You are loved. You are valued. You are worthy. You are unique. You are capable. . Remember that. ❤️ Hope you have had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! xoxo . When I got my order from @freshfoodfurther, I was dying to make one more snack board. Her stuff is amazing!!!
Instagram post 17885828851989694 You know the weeks that shape & mold you the most? The ones with a jam packed schedule, meetings, practices, where you’re stretched much farther than you’re used to? This last week was that for us & I was playing so careful to leave minimal room for change (because anxiety), meaning little flexibility. . When a slight detour on the ski slopes left one of our kids disoriented, confused, & lost on the mountain in a snowstorm with no way to get a hold of us, a shove on the basketball court led to a sprained wrist & a trip to the dr, a dinner that led to our 14 year old having to perform the heimlich on one of his sisters, you really take a deep breath & step back. . You more fully celebrate the passing of a test, a report card of grades fought for, the chance you have to run a forgotten item up to school. You take the chance to talk about the what if’s, make a game plan, and learn. . You take the weekend off. You appreciate the good friends that helped ease the anxiety & checked in. You decide you’ll take ski lessons so you can find your child on the mountain....just kidding, I’m not going that far, they’d be sending out search and rescue to find me. 😂 You kick yourself for panicking so much & also wanting to give the health teacher a hug for just teaching the heimlich. . Motherhood is a million little moments that God weaves together with grace, redemption, laughter, tears and most of all love. ❤️

Instagram post 17858855144363124 Can you remember where you were 14 years ago? . It feels like a lifetime ago & also like it was yesterday. The fact that he is just my height makes me feel like we are closer to the part of I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, where soon he’ll be taking care of me 😉 Except I feel like that’s been the case this whole time. Thanks to this sweetheart boy for taking care of me. For being sensitive enough to check in daily to see what I need. For having the patience to let me grow as a mother & a person over these past 14 years. Everything I’ve learned so far can be traced back to him, and the 3 that follow him. . He is kind, funny, stubborn, confident, and smart. I wish I was as cool as he is. He is so good at whatever he puts his mind to. I love our time together whipping stuff up in the kitchen, our talks when everyone is in bed, & hope he knows how much he means to us and that we love him always. I pray that he always know we are a safe place. Joe, you are the best journey I’ve been on & I’m so proud to be your mom every single second of everyday, even the hard ones. 💙 Photo credit: Ty (3) scroll through 🤣 & Lynden 🥰
Instagram post 18047229859280918 January 13th seems like a great day to share our Christmas morning picture 😁 . When I found out my parents availability, we crammed as much as we could into the time we had with them. Dad might have wanted to punch me OR the Christmas lover inside of him soaked it all up, hard to tell. We made Christmas trains, gingerbread houses (thank you person who came up with premade!), sugar cookies (thank you @leeannmiller for the yummy recipe!), had fancy meals (thank you to my stud husband!), watched football, Dad made his famous eggnog (said he was sure it was his best one yet!), & watched Christmas Vacation. . We were a little disappointed it was our first year waking up without it being white, but then remembered my husband and I grew up without white Christmases and somehow we survived 😉. . If 2021 is anything like 2020, I’m feeling very happy that I opted for loungewear for our pajama tradition.
Instagram post 17868235481158949 Merry Christmas Eve friends! Sipping hot chocolate & snacking on this spread, Christmas movies on repeat, wrapping presents & dinner with family is how we will be spending the day. Thank heavens for Steve who will be making dinner and balancing out the treat consumption ❤️ . We hope you have a beautiful & safe holiday with your loved ones 🌲😘
Instagram post 17900127667641229 It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, but who is around it. ❤️ . An idea was given to try a tray with cupcakes & I upped it to @nothingbundtcakes because 😋🥰😋🥰 . If you are local, my darling cousins own @nothingbundt_j_and_t in Lehi, UT so stop by and grab some treats for the holidays!
Instagram post 18062386639260050 Me: Why are you not looking at the camera? Dad: I heard it’s cooler to look into the distance. 😂😍 I was trying to get him to smile for a picture, he was trying to get his friend’s attention across the street, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s 😢 . We surrounded him like bubble wrap, masked up & headed to church so Mr. Christmas could enjoy the music & see people. I searched high and low & found my carefully stored St Andrews scarf that he brought me back from Scotland. Decided it was the perfect pop of red to wear today. ❤️ Love him, love our family, and love the spirit of the Christmas season. 🌲
