Home Depot

From Danica:

Check out your local Home Depot, because at most of them, on the first Saturday of each month, they do a fun and free craft or project of some sort geared for children.

Thinking of getting pregnant?

I was always leery about programs like Aflac and other secondary insurance programs, but I've done some reserach on them and they really seem to be a great idea. I would highly recommend looking into a program if you plan on having a baby soon. One plan we are considering would be to pay out about $4,000 (in smaller monthly payments) and then we would get back about $12,000 back in cash regardless of additional insurance we may have.

Aflac is pulling out of Utah so you have to sign up by Thursday (tomorrow) so hurry, but there are other options available besides Aflac that aren't leaving the state.

An agent my friend recommended I talk to was: Greg Davies 801-999-8504
He was very helpful.

Cute Valentine's Project

From Lindsay's blog:

Valentine project

Do you want an idea for a super easy Valentine's project?? This project was so fun and so easy. I have made 4 of these for different friends. I apologize for the fuzzy pics. I must of had a shaky hand the day I took these.

1. Cut burlap in to triangles
2. Trace the shape you want on to the burlap.
3. Fill in shape with ModgePodge and then sprinkle glitter liberally. Shake extra glitter off and let dry over night.

Guilt free sweetness

Do you know about Agave Nectar? It's a delicious little sweetener that we have started to use in place of brown sugar on our oatmeal and it is yummy. We have also used it to sweeten our french toast and pancakes. You can find it at most health food stores. My personal favorite is to pick it up at Sunflower Market near the bulk area where you can pump it out yourself (much cheaper price). ENJOY
