Some NEW FAVE Blogs & Blogposts!

It's been a really long time since the last time I posted some of my favorite blog posts.  Just a way to share with you some of the finds that I deem as treasures.  Cause really, doesn't a great post or blog not make your day?  Okay, maybe I care to much!  Anyways here go friends!

• I'm addicted to some of these celebrity blogs.  First off, Jay Z's blog called Life and Times is GREAT!  Full of new music, art, products, interviews and personal tidbits.  LOVE THIS BLOG!  I also love Zooey Deschanel's blog called Zooey's Miscellany; love, love, and love some more!
• Hither and Thither had some AMAZING pics from their day trip to Sandy Hook and for a few moments I escaped!  Follow the link in the post to their last day trip.  Just as many lovely pictures.
• Carl Zoch, one of my favorite photographers and fellow lover of Holga, published this beautiful picture.  I adore it! 
• Ambrosia Girl posted a DIY post on tiny polaroid magnets.  I will be doing this soon!  Yes, I will!

• Last but not least, we have had some of the loveliest guest posts on the Live My Life Project!  Especially, the Idaho post, Movie post, and our 4th of July posts!  Check them out and tell me what you think.

Hope you like these!  :)  Ela

Happy 4th of July!

We have had such a lovely 4th of July weekend!  We went to the Provo Arts Festival and enjoyed an overpriced meal!  We went to a BBQ at Supersonic Car Wash and watched the fireworks with our friends and family.  We celebrated Ari's 3rd birthday!  Happy Birthday Ari!!!  And we went to the parade today!  What a GREAT few days!  Here are some fun pics from our weekend!

Daniel got all the way to the top!

Happy Birthday Ari!

Oh man, the boys went wild when they saw all the Star Wars characters come down the parade route.

Tre danced every time a band came by!  So cute!

It was really neat to see all the missionaries walk down the parade route!

Happy 4th everyone!  Oh and stop by the Live My Life Project and read the wonderful posts that Megan and Lorien wrote for the 4th!

Dinner Pics

Daniel and I have been trying to eat at new places and when we eat somewhere we have been before, we've been trying to eat new things.  Although, sometimes you just need a little comfort food.  Anyways, we went to Sammy's off of Center Street in Provo and it was scrumptious!

We loved our meal and those batter-dipped french fries were super tasty!

Tonight we took a stroll down Center Street with Sione, Lorien and baby Inoke.  We stopped at a new place called Station 22, YUMMY!  Also, we really liked the look and feel of the Cafe...

It's always good to try something new!  Plus we got to fulfill our daily challenge over at Live My Life Project...walk, walk, walk!

Treat Yourself To Something Sweet

I recently started another blog...I KNOW!  Another blog!  I'm nuts!  No, I just LOVE blogging.  The blog is called the Live My Life Project!  It started as something simple, a chance for Daniel and I to record and challenge ourselves to live every day of this summer to the fullest.  It was a chance for me to find my focus again and strive to be a better person, a better Mom and a better employee.  I feel like my focus has been so stretched between work, school and my family that I got lost.  (Read about our Purpose here.)  The blog then turned into a way to learn from the people around me, how do they live their lives to the fullest?  So each day comes with a challenge!  There will be mini-interviews, giveaways, motivating thoughts and inspiring stories.

Yesterday's challenge was to Find God in an aspect of your day.  It was a lovely day!  Today's challenge was to Treat Yourself!  Daniel and I decided we would go somewhere we had never been before...Yogurtland in Orem.  YUM!  It's a lot like Farr's Ice Cream, almost exactly like Farr's.  It was a fun atmosphere and the desserts were delish!  Plus if you work for IHC, you get a 10% discount...holla!

 

We had such a fun night!  We enjoyed every bite of our ice cream, talked about our day, laughed at the lady sitting near us with the CRAZY laugh and vowed to do more nights like this throughout the summer.  Swing by the blog, tell us what you think, follow us and share with us ways you have chosen to Live Your Life to the Fullest!!!!

Oh...I've also been introduced to Pinterest!  Ahhh, I love it!  If you are on there...find me!
