My New Favorite Shopping Places

So we have been a little busy with the end of the school year ( I didn't think getting to the end of the school year would be busier than the beginning of the school year) We have also been working hard on our backyard which I will be posting pictures of as soon as I dig up our plants that have already died and take them back to replace with live ones. Apparently I do not have a green thumb. Anyway, in the midst of all of this I have some discovered some great online shopping sites. Some of them you all know about but they have add some way cute stuff and I need to share!


http://www.downeastbasics.com/ This has to be my all time favorite place for good cheap clothes. They are way cheaper than Shade Clothing and I like the way they fit better (slightly looser). They have added some great dresses and they are also selling swimsuits!
These guys have the cutest swimsuits ever. Plus they aren't a bad price (around $60) which isn't that much more than you would pay at target if you go when they first get their swimsuits in (which you have to do in order to get something you want). They also have the cutest shirts and dresses and from what I hear their fabric is lighter which is really nice for the hot summers!


These are by far the cutest dresses I have seen in a long time for the money. A friend told be about them so I haven't purchased from them yet but I soon will. If anyone has bought anything from them let me know how they fit!


I am always looking for cute clothing that is already modest or can be made modest relatively easy. If anyone else knows of any other great clothing sites post them in a comment so we can all share in the wonderful joy of shopping for things we can actually wear!!!!!

3 Things.......

Three things I'm afraid of:
1. Speaking in Church
2. Going to the store with all three of my kids
3. Laundry (the amount of laundry I do really does scare me)

Three People Who Make Me Laugh:
1. Ethan & Landon
2. Mackenzie
3. Jared

Three Things I Love:
1. Jared and the kids
2. Playing the piano (my mom always said I would and now I can say I believe her)
3. Watching all my favorite TV shows on my DVR without commercials

Three Things I Hate:
1. Laundry (even though I hate it and it scares me we really do wear clean clothes)
2. That I am not good at keeping in touch with people
3. People that don't have kids because they don't like them, and then don't want to share this earth with people who do love kids and have them (I have met plenty of them)

Three Things I Don’t Understand:
1. Traffic
2. Why complete strangers will try to get your child to stop throwing a tantrum in public (do they honestly think I haven't tried to get them to stop, it completely baffles me)
3. How anyone can find anything at discount stores like Ross, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, honestly I spend more time four-wheeling with my stroller over all of the stuff that has somehow ended up on the ground.

Three Things On My Desk:
1. Bills
2. Sippy Cup
3. The Computer

Three Things I’m Doing Right Now:
1. Typing of course
2. Listening to the hum of my refrigerator (which means my kids are asleep)
3. Waiting for Jared to get home from meetings

Three Things I Want To Do Before I Die:
1. Go back to Hawaii with all of my family
2. Finish Dental Hygiene School
3. Sing in the Mo Tab (I would love to do this but since you audition then sing with the alternate choir for 3 yrs, then if you're still around you get to sing with the real deal and since I don't live near utah and probably won't anytime soon, it may not happen in this life)

Three Things I Can Do:
1. Play the piano/Sing
2. Find anything (ask jared, without me he can't find anything, literally)
3. Remember the smallest most insignificant anything (again refer to jared)

Three things I Can’t Do:
1. Sleep (I really hate it too)
2. Not stress about things
3. Make dinner two nights in a row (it truly is utterly impossible for me)

Three Things I Think You Should Listen To:
1. The Gospel/Spirit
2. Your Parents (I should have started this sooner)
3. Music (all kinds except for the trashy stuff) & Stephen Colbert (watch him on Comedy central)

Three Things You Should Never Listen To:
1. Comments people make to you when you are anywhere with your kids and they are crying
2. extreme liberals & liberal media
3. Global warming crap! (Volcano's emit more harmful gases per eruption than years of industrial pollution) we all know how it's going to end anyway right?

Three Things I’d Like To Learn:
1. to cook without a recipe
2. to sew
3. to relax

Three Favorite Foods:
1. Cafe Rio
2. strawberry shortcake/strawberry freezer jam
3. Grilled meat that is tender moist and seasoned well

Three Shows I Watched As A Kid:
1. Saved By The Bell
2. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (my sister cried when it went off the air)
3. Silver Spoons

Three Things I Regret:
1. Using all of my wedding budget (whatever I didn't spend we could keep, should have skipped all of the stuff no one remembers. Take some nice pictures, have a really good lunch/dinner with close friends and family and call it a day)
2. Not buying a house when we started dental school (we did buy one half way through, but we would have made a killing if we would have done it sooner)
3. Not taking hardly any pictures of me pregnant (if it weren't for my mother-in-law I wouldn't have any. Thanks Donna)

3 People I'm Tagging (Who now have to post this on their Blog with their answers):
1. Everyone who reads this! I love finding new stuff out about people I already know
2. Anyone who reads this!
3. Anyone and Everyone who reads this (you can even email to me if you want to start blogging)
