I love this video, in a talk given by President Henry B. Eyring he speaks about doing the most important things each day and not delaying what we should be doing. We are all tempted to put things off to "someday" our lives will be enriched if we choose to serve EACH DAY, even if it is something small we will be blessed by Heavenly Father.
"As long as you have the power to pray you can ask a loving god please let me serve this day!" -Henry B. Eyring

DIY make-up remover!
I'm all about saving money in random/little ways I can. If I can make something, I tend to do that rather than to buy it. 99% of the time most DIY things save money. The more in my wallet, THE BETTER. I recently found a recipe for DIY make up remover. Genus. I would have NEVER thought of that but it's something so easy and ends up being super expensive when you buy the real deal. I found the recipe from this link: http://www.kristanlynn.com/2011/05/diy-clean-eyes.html I have yet to try it but it's
1 C water
1½ TBSP Baby Shampoo (tear free)
⅛ TSP Baby Oil (Cocunut Oil or Olive Oil)
Pretty simple, right? I think I am going to give it a try next time I go to the grocery store, I'll pick up these simple ingredients. I can't wait to try it!

Viva Las Vegas!
At the M&M Factory in Las Vegas!
Any color M&M you could ever want, or think of!
Bellagio Fountains!
The beautiful Las Vegas Temple!
Taylor and I were able to sneak off to Vegas for a quick weekend trip! We stayed with some of his Dad's cousins that live in North Las Vegas! We had a blast!
Cabin Adventures!
After a 12 hour drive, and spending 2 nights in Vancouver, Taylor and I were able to watch his Nephew and 2 of his nieces for a night in Olympia and then go to his family cabin with some of his family this week! We had a blast! We went Jet skiing, kayaking, hiking, went on walks through the forest, hiked to the "Wild man of the Wynchoee" campsite, taught his niece and nephew how to kneeboard, and got to spend time with his family! It was the perfect week!

Super Suds and Super $avings!
Recently I have become infatuated with Pintrest. In my spare time I love getting craft ideas that I can do at home and actually doing them. Recently I found a recipe for homemade laundry detergent, with 3 basic ingredients.
Borax, Super Washing Soda, and Fels Naphtha laundry soap. It's 1 cup of Borax, 1 cup of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda, and 1 bar of grated Fels Naphtha Soap (usually around $1, and I used a cheese grater) and theres a bath of laundry soap. It doesn't look like a ton but it smells so clean and fresh and one batch of homemade laundry detergent is about 40 loads of laundry, talk about getting your money's worth. It's 1 tablespoon per load. I took this picture from Pintrest but this about how much a batch makes.
One box of borax and one box of Super Washing Soda makes about 5 batches of homemade laundry detergent so you definitely get a run for your money!

Baby Milo
My nephew Milo James Polifka was born on April 20th 2011 and weighed a healthy 7.5 pounds (but he seems so small when you are holding him.)
Can you do the Hula?
I have been HORRIBLE at blogging. I came up with a summer resolution (do people even do those) to be better at blogging! Recently (well in march) my parents and I went to the beautiful Hawaiian island of KAUAI! Seriously one of the most beautiful places I have EVER been!
Our last night in Kauai was the day the earthquake happened in Japan. As we got the news of the earthquake we were told that all the Hawaiian Islands were on Tsunami WARNING aka needing to evacuate. As we were getting ready to move to higher ground all I could think about was the Church and how the first presidency always tells the members to be prepared. No one ever thinks anything will happen to them and that was honestly how I felt too. I had never been in the middle of or close to a natural disaster. Although being evacuated seemed annoying and uncomfortable (not being able to sleep all night) at times on that long night, it strengthened my testimony of emergency preparedness, and how we always need to be ready for anything that can happen, anytime. ALOHA!
