Thank goodness the weekend is finally here, even if it does just mean that I have this mess to look forward to cleaning up: Bring it on, kitchen. Happy weekend, friends!
The Most Unsafe Park in the World
Welcome to Marble Park in Tremonton, Utah–the least kid-safe park in the entire world. But with that said, it might just be the coolest park I’ve ever been to. See that horse sculpture on the left? Looks lovely and relatively harmless, right? Well, as you can probably already tell from the photo on the right, …
Tuesday Tell-All
*I read the FUNNIEST story by a student today in my creative writing class–I literally cried when I was re-relating it to Matt tonight when I came home. She was recounting her earliest childhood memory, which involved her wanting to play with her brother’s Lincoln Logs. Her brother told her she couldn’t play with them, …

What Fun Is
What Fun Is: *Rickety white-turning-brown roller coasters that are thrilling mostly due to the fact that you’re not sure if they’re going to kill you or not *Smooth-consistency blue rasberry Icees shared between lovers (and by lovers, I mean me and the hubby.
