I admit that our family tends to dress a little more formal than others, it is just an inherent part of us that both my husband and I grew up with! With that being said, it is not for everyone!!

I was once that girl! The girl who was taller than everyone in her class, including the boys! The one who stood at the end of the line in height order and the back-row center of all school pictures. Trust me when I say it is the greatest blessing, but I know it won’t always be easy to see it that way! Remember when people say “look how big you are” to immediately take it as a compliment and forgive their wording if it doesn’t sound flattering.

My mom was truly the most incredible influence as she was so quick to program my brain that tall=beautiful!

Our nursery had already had two iterations of Navy and White for both boys, so now it was time for a major mix up!

or most of you planning a get a way, Salt Lake City is probably not a front runner for a destination! But in the off chance you have to travel to a conference or you are looking for something different before heading up to the Mountains, I have your inside guide! Our favorite hotel is The Grand America which is an institution in the area! It’s strong architecture and stunning lobby make it an attractive sight, but not necessarily screaming kid friendly. The amazing part is that it actually is and offers an incredible toy store/candy store within the hotel to rival those of Disneyland! Yes, I said Disneyland! To top it off their Christmas decorating starts in October and features a life-size Gingerbread House and spectacularly lit up Gardens.
