Best Family Vacation Ever!!!

We just got back from a week of skiing and snowboarding in Brian head, Utah. This was our first trip there and the first time the kids skiied and snowboarded. We went with another family and rented a cabin. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them for the week. The kids had a blast playing together especially sledding in front of the cabin. This was the best snow I have every skiied in - such dry, soft powder.
The weather changed everyday so we experienced everything from blue skies to blizzards. I highly recommend BH for families. The kids camp was terrific and our kids went from first timers to going down some intermediate runs - all in just one week. The teachers in the kids camp were all great and actually everyone we met was friendly and very helpful. We can't wait to go again.

Sad, sad, sad - I'm a sucky blogger!

I don't know how all you consistent bloggers do it! Especially those of you with lots of kids, homeschooling, and even some of you work outside the home! I just want to say how much I admire all of my mom friends for all that you do. You are all beautiful, amazing women, and I am one blessed woman to have you all in my life.

Because I love you so much I dedicate the following poem to you...

True friendship - A.K.A. None of that Sissy Crap

Here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card - Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words..

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

9. This is my oath .... I pledge it to the end 'Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend'.

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel it's true warmth.

Remember: A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel...

Final Results

I know...it's like looking at Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon. I can't tell you how many times I've been stopped on the street for my autograph. The resemblances are eerie. 

Day 5 & Day 6

Congratulations if you found me. I tried to shorten my blog name and as a result couldn't find it on the web so I changed it back. It's a mouth-full A Little Piece of Sanity for Me but oh well. I'm neither technologically gifted nor have enough time on my hands to figure out the problem so hopefully going back to the original name and address will work out. 

Here is an update on my attempt at Peeling back the years. 

Day 5: Peeling Forehead and cheeks and chin

Day 6: Peeling in the hairline, near ears, and neck - under chin

(this picture really grosses me out)

Happy Groundhog Day!

I hear the little critter has seen his shadow and we all know what that means. But seriously, if he'd just turn around and face the sun he'd see the light not his shadow. I'm actually enjoying this "winter" weather so I don't mind if we have another 6 weeks of it. It's good for my face, right.

The Real Day 3 ~ The chin has begun to peel.

Day 4 ~ chin, upper lip, cheeks are peeling

Reflections in a mirror...
Do you see a resemblance?
