(pic from my kitchen cafe)

 i went to dairy queen tonight with my boys. i remembered that a friend had told me about their frozen hot chocolate so i thought i would try it. oh my goodness was it good! I'm pretty sure I'm addicted. if you want to try it out at home this recipe from on of my favorite food blogs my kitchen cafe looks really good!

What foods are you addicted to?
  

have you noticed that when you have kids you become obsessed with making them happy? including collecting toys and things that they like? like when my oldest was a baby and burger king kids meals had the cutest ever star wars toys. we ate way to much burger king for weeks to collect them all, i don't even like burger king one bit. then it was the Disney "cars" toys. we got a bit crazy collecting them. the most recent obsession is anything toy story. have you seen the new toy story Lego's?  cutest things ever! we have the train set and the buzz pizza planet truck. i love getting them out and setting them up even more than my boys.see more Lego's here.

any other fun toys i should be collecting?

i go through stages where i am obsessed with music. my husband got me an itouch for mothers day ( yay!) and i am in music mode again. right now I'm loving-

*afi crash love. all the songs are good, really the whole album
*matt and kim. so happy and fun to listen too, my favorite is daylight
*weezer raditude, can't stop the partying and put me back together are my favorites
*the darkness i love me some butt rock
*less than jake, they remind me of being in high school and going to shows every weekend with me friends

what music are you loving right now?

things i love thursday

*i love the new jillian micheals yoga dvd. i have most of her workout videos and they rock. this one is no exception.

*this amazing in progress transformation that my friend megan is doing to her bedroom. i cannot wait to see it! in fact i need to get my hinney over there to check it out in person. don't you love her fabric choice?

*these t-shirts from american eagle...

they were on sale for $10 last week. i love the fit, they are so comfy too. LOVE!

*have you seen napolean dynamite? of course you have. i loved it and nacho libre also. but i think the funniest movie that jared and jerusha hess have written is gentlemen broncos.

*hilarious! go check it out. and while i'm suggesting offbeat movies, have you seen king of kongs? it is soooooooo great.

*this chicken- really this is one of the best recipes i have ever made. i am dying to make it again.

* the richard-centric episode of lost. i think it was my favorite episode ever. i have always liked richard, now i love him. the acting, the questions answered, the kick butt jacob, creepy fake locke, the scene where richard was talking to dead isabella... i swear he could see and feel her, ah so good! i feel like maybe the writers will be able to pull off the things i want to know in the next 8 episodes. there are so many questions that are unanswered but i think i'm ok with that. some things just aren't all that important anymore, you know? i need to watch this whole season again, especially the last episode. i think richard has replaced desmond as the number 2 man of lost. sawyer is of course number one. jack? he's pretty low. ( ha kem!)

* chipolte - i love it. their chips are really good. i love their fajita burrito too. i think right now i am over cafe rio.

*and lastly girls night with my friends at the yummy mandarin restaurant in bountiful!

stayed tuned for a tutorial tomorrow...

things i am loving as of late-

this darling poster from jenna at q.a. design etsy store these adorable and funky reconstructed hoodies from etsy seller mungo crafts ( seen on the dainty squid tumblr) i am loving this so much i can't stop thinking about it.
this amazingly cute tutorial for the little pink house seen on sew mama sew. i followed the link and explored the blog of checkout girl and everything that she does is amazing! i would love to have one made of our house.

these cookies! oh my goodness these were good. it's my free day today ( i'm doing body for life) and i wanted to make something that i could enjoy. seriously go try them. next time i make them i think i will chop some peanut butter cups up.
and of course LOST. seriously i can't even fall asleep after i watch it. i have been working out right after so i can think about what is going on for a bit. it helps my brain not feel so worthless. so what do you other losties think... is jacob good or bad? and what about the whole thing with ben? poor ben, i really actually felt sorry for him. and where the heck is sawyer? more sawyer less jack please.

i saw this cool art on one pretty thing but had to pass it on it's so cool. if you go the the feed you soul website they have free artwork from various artists that you can print off at home. last night i spent 20 minutes printing off stuff. it is really cool pretty artwork too. you should definately go check it out.
