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 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. 🌲
Instagram post 17881409404949740 Challenge accepted...savory board with a little bit of sweet! After I made this, I realized it’s a complete meal & fed our family dinner & dessert! Also if someone ever tells you it’s easy to use a cookie cutter on cheese & keep the shape in tact, go right ahead and just call bs on that 🙈😂
.
What are your favorite meats & cheeses for charcuterie boards? Havarti with dill is mild and perfect for Christmas 🌲❤️
Instagram post 17947418713391058 Finding family night activities that everyone will enjoy is getting a little tough! Luckily Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is now streaming so we were able to plan a night we knew everyone would like! Playing with our dinosaur toys, making @popsecretpop with "dino eggs", & doing all the activities in the Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous packet-racing to see who could finish the word search first, all before the show even started. Thanks to @walmart for online grocery shopping for saving me every time. I would say the night was dyno-mite! #ad #watchpartysnacks #streamingnightideas #familywatchpartynight #familynight #familysnacking #popcornnight #popcornparty #JurassicWorldCampCretaceous #walmart
Instagram post 18120077596167296 Grateful we could try and figure out how to help you tie your tie. Grateful the roles have switched and we get to have you over for dinner. Grateful for the football chats, the big squeezes, and the piano requests. Grateful for the phone calls every night before bedtime & for a mutual love of @nicholassparks. Grateful for another December in holiday style, even if it’s just for a quick session of church at home.

If you haven’t, meet our Pro Joe, my dad. ❤️🌲
Instagram post 17853054326394487 I was rounding up some of my favorite things last month, thinking of my favorite small businesses and making holiday gift guides. I put together a bundle that I would love & I knew pretty much any woman would love 💡 And the lightbulb went off. I messaged my fave small businesses (in their busiest time of the year) & begged them to do a giveaway with me. They all agreed and have been super generous.
.
They are some of the sweetest, most driven & passionate people I know. The Instastory giveaway ends in a few hours and even if you aren’t into amazing giveaways or are done shopping,  follow them, give their content a handful of likes, leave a kind comment, share their content with your friends, write them an encouraging dm. In a year that has been anything but normal, it is so easy to support small businesses. 💗 @therosynook @sarahlouco @bloomheadwraps @emiandkaypjs
Instagram post 17983181248319365 Snapped this photo at my sister-in-laws house....fully taking advantage of my talented family members and using the free babysitting card and grabbing a pic with their fun backdrop on the way out! 
This sweater is a fave of mine - and it is $14!! On sale from $20, which was already a steal! Linking it in the free @liketoknow.it  app so you can shop it! http://liketk.it/33DNp #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert #LTKgiftspo
