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…

Happy Anniversary love, wow we were babies 18 year Happy Anniversary love, wow we were babies 18 years ago. Who gave us the ok to embark on this journey?! Thank you to my parents 😉 We’ve been through some of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Moves, jobs, losses, babies, trips, kids, celebrations, now teens, graduations, and all the things that come during our phases of life. I’ve seen so many versions of you and you of me & I love us for helping, supporting, and pushing each other to grow. We are far from perfect and through it all are persistently learning to be adults & parents together. You have been there for my most favorite, my easiest, and my hardest moments. I love you for knowing me better than I know myself some days & for becoming my home. I’m so proud of you and what we’ve built in 18 years.
It’s her birthday. My baby sister, the relations It’s her birthday. My baby sister, the relationship I’m most protective and proud of. I’m one of a few who have had the pleasure of watching her life story unfold. The only one I would listen to talk about what the hell scobies are at midnight, the one I would trust to take care of all my health needs, she’s the one who knows me better than I know myself, & loves her people fiercely. From beehives to bat houses to saunas to drinks to chickens, sometimes I don’t even recognize our past selves that spent our time switching from laying out in the sun to laying out in a tanning bed, eating ice cream from the carton drizzling chocolate syrup on every bite & a stint with Saran Wrap diys that I won’t fully go into, for her sake. I feel like she’s the closest I can get to my dad & try to follow in her footsteps, with an occasional chocolate chip cookie. She should have been the oldest and has definitely been all of our favorites. Her calm, sweet disposition was the perfect addition to come after me. Watching her bloom into the most incredible mother, wife, sister, friend, teacher, nurse, homesteader, gardener has been something I treasure. I sure lucked out when you were born.
A thought on life & legacy. It is not the things w A thought on life & legacy. It is not the things we leave for people, but what we leave in them. It’s not where our names are engraved, but where we are woven throughout. It’s not about everything we knew & what we taught, but how we listened & humbled ourselves when we didn’t know. It’s not about doing it all as much as it is doing what we can & turning the rest over to Him. It’s about bettering ourselves & unbecoming & showing our flaws & saying sorry. It’s about fixing the issues before the bridge becomes a moat. It’s the simple, it’s the hard, it’s the heartbreaking & it’s the celebrating. It’s being brave & jumping before you’re ready. It’s my favorite thing & also the thing that makes me want to crawl back in bed at the first sign of defeat. Some days it’s overwhelming & some days are full of chocolate chip cookies, warm sourdough & fresh eggs. If people feel my love through food & hosting, I’ll call it a win. 🤍
Who knew the snow would still be here in March?! T Who knew the snow would still be here in March?! The kids still are excited to get lots of ski time, which has meant me grabbing dinner and running it up to them before calling it a night. We love @jerseymikes because we can all find something we love & customize it! Some of the favorites are the Philly Cheesesteak, Turkey & Provolone, Chicken Bacon & Ranch, & a Turkey & Provolone bowl. The month of March is Jersey Mike’s Month of Giving, where all are invited to order in-store or through the app for pick up or delivery from your local Jersey Mike’s & make a donation to the designated charity partner. I remember volunteering as a youth to work Special Olympics events and those days were incredible. It's so easy to round up your purchase and/or donate $1, $3, or $5 in the Jersey Mike’s app. #jerseymikes #jerseymikespartner
You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly your flight. You will teach them to dream, but they will not dream your dream. You will teach them to live, but they will not live your life. Nevertheless, in every flight, in every life, in every dream, the print of the way you taught them will remain. – Mother Teresa . It’s ok to be kind and fierce. It’s ok to be feisty and soft. It’s ok to dream, fail and succeed over and over again. Protect your peace and don’t let anyone dim your light. To the girls this reaches, you got this, keep pushing & keep putting one foot in front of the other. And to my own 2 beauties, I am the luckiest and believe in you more than you can believe. .

The kids put together more of the tray than I did & we took a photo with a phone camera…at night. Not my typical & I love it for those reasons. Hope you have a Merry Christmas! ❤️🌲
My chaos. My steady. My rollercoaster. My best adv My chaos. My steady. My rollercoaster. My best adventure. My hardest calling. My biggest accomplishment & where I fall short multiple times a day. My pull to be present & my push to be better. These 5. This little tornado of children that we’ve created who follow us around. It’s weird and also awesome that they are so similar to Steve & I. Except we hope that they can plan trips more than 2 weeks out because of the unnecessary stress that that adds to traveling with 6 😉 Have you been to Kauai? We were first timers and it was 😍💫✨🌈🤯🤩 🌊 Matching suits @kortnijeane
Posting a picture from 4th of July weekend on the Posting a picture from 4th of July weekend on the last holiday weekend of the summer feels in line with my life & my consistency here for the last couple of years. 😉 We loved summer, we spent lots of time together and lots of time with friends. We swam under the stars and soaked up the sunshine. We adjusted and attempted to improve where we could. If I know love what love is & why life is full, it’s because of these ones right here. Hope you have a great long weekend! ❤️
