Swig Sugar Cookie and Dirty Diet Coke Birthday Party

Last week was McKay's 31st birthday.  I kind of waited to the last minute to plan something for his birthday, like the day before.  So I didn't have much fun to prepare anything extravagant.  I love to throw get togethers with our friends, but I'm not the type of party planner who has exquisite looking centerpieces, arrangements, and food hutches like you see on Pinterest.  Nope, that's not me.  I try to strive for simplicity because seriously, all that people care about at a party is that there's good company and good food.  Nobody is going to care about the printables, matching colors, and goodie bag.  Last month we traveled to Southern Utah and fell in love with Swig and I thought it would be so fun to throw McKay a Swig themed party full of cold sugar cookies and dirty Coke's!  I texted a bunch of our neighborhood friends letting them know of the birthday party and we hung out in our backyard, ate, drank, the kiddies ran around while the men played basketball and the girls chit chatted.  It was the perfect, non stress, relaxing, and carefree birthday party.  This is a great last minute birthday party idea because it's so easy.

Bra Event and Southern Utah Trip

Earlier this week, I wrote a post about the 29 things you need to do in Southern Utah, go here to read.  All of these ideas came from years of going down there and fine tuning the things we love doing down there.  I wanted to share with you some of the pictures from our trip this weekend.

Last month during the Build Your Blog Conference, bloggers were coming up to me and asking me their bra questions.  I love it how I'm becoming as the boob expert in the blogging community.  A bunch of my new friends I met were from Southern Utah.  The idea came to me to do a bra fitting event down there the next time I'm there.  Well, it happened to work out perfectly because McKay has been wanting to run in a 10K.  So we thought, why not make a weekend trip down there where we kill five birds with one stone: bra fitting event, get away, rest, play, and 10K.  Perfect, done!
