We love trips and adventures! This year our first trip was to Las Vegas so David could go to Shot Show. I’m really lucky and work remotely so I made the hotel my office and then we hung out in Vegas in the evenings. By pure luck our hotel looked out over the Bellagio fountains … Continue reading Vegas 2019
This year the Taylor family decided to do something a little different and do Thanksgiving the week AFTER Thanksgiving – and so now it feels sort of like we’ve been able to do Thanksgiving and Christmas twice! We did Thanksgiving with David’s family, went a little crazy on Black Friday shopping (stayed up until 2 … Continue reading Thanksgiving Squared
Lemons We have a ton of fresh lemons every summer, which means we have to figure out something to do with all the juice. This summer, I’m learning how to do lemon meringue pies from scratch. I used this lemon meringue pie recipe both times and it really worked out great. I was mostly … Continue reading Lemons, Ducks, and Bulls
I said I was going to write about whatever I wanted to- so this blog post is dedicated to two of our favorite things: Pizza and Movies. A while ago I discovered Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix. This has seriously changed my baking game. It makes delicious cinnamon rolls, really good dinner rolls and a super … Continue reading Pizza & A Movie

We had been dating for a little more than a year and my side of the family was doing a family reunion at my parent’s house in Union, WA. David and I flew … Continue reading Our Engagement

David Baker and I got married November 4, 2017 and it’s been an incredible 8 months and I still feel lucky every day to … Continue reading 5 Years Later
The last week in July my mom’s side of the family, the Heslops, all gathered in Moses Lake, WA at the farmhouse for a reunion. Kelli, Tanner and I drove up late Thursday night. We woke up to the sound of four wheeler engines and Tanner immediately had to get on and go for a … Continue reading Heslop Family Reunion 2013
When my dad called and wanted to do something extra special for my mom’s big birthday this year (50!), I was completely on board. He ended up buying them all plane tickets to fly down here to spend the weekend with me and Ty, Kelli and Tanner in Utah. What they didn’t know was that … Continue reading Mom’s Surprise Weekend a.k.a. Memorial Day
Back when my new friend Brenda asked me to be on her Ragnar team I thought I was crazy, I had been running only sporadically after my marathon (all that training made me hate having a schedule to follow!) and I didn’t really know her or anyone else on the team. In fact, I only … Continue reading Ragnar Trail Relay Zion 2013
We had a lot of fun celebrating Valentine’s Day this year. We took a note out of Leslie Nope’s notebook and did our very own Galentine’s Dinner. It was a blast! So much good food when it’s all girls getting together. I was STUFFED by the time the night was over. We also decided to … Continue reading Valentines and Vegas
