-Prepped a Back to School Valiant Activity with one of my best helpers!
-Crumbl X Minecraft collab!? We were so there!
-Preschool Meet & Greet for Violet with some of her old and new friends at preschool for this school year. She was SO excited! My girls are extra lucky that they have been able to have aunt Brittany as their preschool teacher and Violet has been extra lucky to have Grandma as a teacher too! Brittany comes up with THE cutest things. Violet always loves everything at preschool!
-Burgess Orchard for their fruit sundaes and fruit treats!
-Barn Day with Grandma Warner! Fat Jack’s Pizza, Rowley’s Red Barn and while we were close by we also went to The Wall Brothers Barn. We did a taste test of the Barn and Rowley’s Apple Cider donuts and had mixed winners, both were delicious!
-Our Harry Potter movie marathon has started. We watch a HP movie every week leading up to Halloween and pair it with a fun HP themed treat. I love that Target has a whole Honeydukes inspired treat display this year, which makes it SO easy to grab a treat (or a few)! I also love this hot chocolate kit we got that is SO fun and with the cauldron like mugs have been extra fun for cauldron mug cakes using this mix.
-We had a few family dinners with the Strongs before my cute nephew left on his mission. I made brookies=chocolate chip cookies + brownies and Smookies= chocolate chip cookies and s’mores!
-So many fun fall finds! At Target and TJ’s!

–A little sneak peek at Violet’s Halloween costume this year!
-My nephew left on his mission and it was so sad to say see you in 2 years! A good friend told me that it will make the homecoming that much sweeter and I’m holding on to that, and telling my girls that too! They love their cousin Owen and have the sweetest relationship with him.
-Prepped for our conference tradition of filling our Apostle Activity Bags with a few fun finds at Target. I love that these kits filled a few of them so easily for $5 each.

We were able to see my other adorable nephew and give him cookies too, who is going to BYU right now. I love that I have nephews and nieces that are adults. It’s different than my family so it’s so fun to make the relationships with them a priority! They are the best people!!
