I was given a Wagner paint sprayer in exchange for my post and honest review. All opinions are my own. I love to upcycle furniture and garage sale finds. I have painted quite a bit of furniture by hand which can be very tedious and time consuming. One of my last projects was this cute Jenny Lind bed I got for my daughter’s room. I spent a long time hand painting all those spindles. How I wish I had known about the Wagner sprayer before I did that project.

I was able to attend opening night of OVO at the Maverick Center and it was amazing! I have never been to a Cirque Du Soleil show before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I loved the costumes, music and most importantly the awesome performances. I opted not to bring my little ones, and I’m glad because I don’t think they would have been as entertained as we were because they don’t understand all the talent and skill the performances require. I thought the whole show was very engaging. My husband and I agreed that we loved everything, except for the bugs who acted as clowns to give the other performers time to set up. Sometimes they were funny, but other times you just really wanted the next act to begin.
Here are some of my favorite acts:
I was able to attend a blogger event in Salt Lake City this past week and try Rumbi Island Grill’s newest menu item, sweet pork! There are three new menu items featuring the sweet pork-a rice bowl, tacos and a salad. I was really excited to try the sweet pork because I already love so many other things at Rumbi.

My family had the opportunity to attend Monster Jam on opening night. I was excited to take my two children, because the last time I had attended was with my husband before they were born. It was a really fun family night watching all the trucks compete.
Some tips if you are attending:
My two children were pretty excited at first, but they did lose some interest towards the end. I would recommend the show for children ages 5+ but my younger one (2 years) did like it, she just can’t sit for the whole show and had to walk around for a little bit. All in all it is a fun family night and exciting to see the different trucks and watch the drivers’ skills at maneuvering them.
This was our family’s favorite truck of the night. Look at all those cool spikes!

Don’t forget the circus is this weekend at the Vivint Home Arena in Salt Lake City! 
I made this cake a while ago but realized I hadn’t put the pictures on the blog. When I won a birthday party at the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, Utah, I couldn’t wait to make a sea-themed cake. My son has always loved Finding Nemo, so I included him on the cake along with some other fun sea creatures- an octopus, crab, shark fin and a stingray. I used marshmallow fondant to cover the cake and make all of the creatures.
If you are thinking about having a party at the Living Planet Aquarium, it is awesome! You get a private party room and the kids gets to play at Tui’s Playplace, which is a huge playground with slides and things to climb through. The staff were so friendly and the room is already decorated in a cute sea theme. They provide the food (pizza and soda) and the tablecloth and all the plates and utensils. They even clean up everything afterwards. After the party you can go explore the aquarium which has so many neat exhibits and displays. We really loved everything about it. 
I was able to attend a showing of Odysseo by Cavalia in Sandy, Utah. If you have driven on I-15 in Utah at all, then you probably have seen the billboards everywhere! I wondered what the show was about but didn’t quite understand after I visited their website. I went to the show pretty much only knowing that I would be seeing horses.
I attended during social media week so we were given VIP tickets which included a buffet dinner beforehand. There was a lot of different foods to choose from, but much of it was very different than what you typically expect at a buffet unless you are in southern France. Nothing was labeled and the lighting in the tent is dark so some things were hard to figure out what they were. I enjoyed the food and thought the variety was good. Plus, it was nice to have drinks and popcorn for the show and dessert during intermission.
After the buffet we enjoyed the show from front row seats. Sitting front row was pretty spectacular and I have to warn you that you do get wet during one part of the show. Now, after having seen the show, I understand how it has been called “the most amazing show.” That is how I would describe it in one word-amazing. Its a little hard to explain what the show is exactly, but it’s a mixture of the horses performing, singing, dancing, acrobatics and aeralists. The horses are so beautiful and some of the scenes they set up are serene and peaceful for some parts and wild and action packed for others. I was tense during some of the tricks they performed because they seem so perilous! The performers are truly talented and they work with the horses so well. I loved watching their interactions together. From riding atop two horses in flowing, beautiful costumes, to jumps over poles and graceful aerialists performing after being lifted off the horses. Some of the acts were truly breathtaking.
The show runs for 2 hours with a 30 minute intermission. I felt like the time flew by, I was so engaged with everything going on. All of the seats seem to have a good view of the show, as it’s not that large of an area. There is $10 parking available close to the tent, but we parked near Dillard’s and walked. I noticed that the will-call line does get long and there are a lot of people around so I would suggest arriving at least 30 minutes before the show.
Cavalia is running through June 20th, and tickets can be purchased at cavalia.net
My family was able to attend a special premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3 this past Saturday. The event was held at our local Cinemark and was sponsored by a local radio station. It was a super fun event that we all enjoyed. We each got our own set of panda ears before the movie and a movie poster to take home (which proudly has a place on my son’s wall). Before the movie the kids got to pick out their own balloon animals (each picked a panda of course) and we got some complimentary popcorn and drinks. There were a few Make a Wish kids in attendance and we were able to cheer for them as they walked the red carpet that had been set up and got their pictures taken by a photographer.
The movie brings back the lovable and funny character Po (voiced by Jack Black) and other favorite cast members like Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, and Lucy Liu. Po is enjoying life as the Dragon Warrior, when Po’s long lost father returns and they journey together to the secret panda village. There’s a new villain Kai, who is determined to gather all the Kung Fu master’s “chi”, including Po’s.
We were able to see the movie in 3D. There are some movies that I have really enjoyed in 3D and others that I thought weren’t worth the expense. This one was excellent in 3D. So many of the sequences were really fun and enhanced by the 3D experience. The movie’s bad guy, Kai, uses axes on chains as his weapon of choice and those were again really fun to watch in 3D. Our 2 year old had a hard time keeping the glasses on, so I wouldn’t recommend the movie in 3D if you have ones younger than 3 (our 4 year old loved the action in 3D).
Overall we thought the movie was really fun and enjoyable. I feel like it’s suitable for any age. The villain wasn’t a scary character. My husband felt like it was a little more predictable than the other two movies and not his favorite. When we were discussing that it wasn’t quite as good as the first two afterwards, my son chimed in that he thought it was awesome. I think it will for sure be a hit with the kids and fun for parents too. Kung Fu Panda 3 opens Friday, January 29th in theaters.
I was selected to host a Tryazon party and was given the new Rhodes microwave cinnamon rolls to try. I love Rhodes other bread products, and I was excited about the possibility of a 60 second cinnamon roll but also a little skeptical. After trying them for myself at home I was amazed. Only 60 seconds and you have a delicious, soft, cinnamon roll! They even come with individual packets of cream cheese icing so you can frost your cinnamon roll according to your preference.
These cinnamon rolls would make a great after school treat for kids, or as some of the ladies at my party suggested, they would be great for Halloween trick or treaters with some hot chocolate. We enjoyed them as a breakfast treat, and everyone commented that it was pretty incredible that you could get a soft, warm cinnamon roll in such a short time. One person thought that microwaving the roll would make it tough but after she tried it she realized that wasn’t the case.
These cinnamon rolls are found in the freezer section of your grocery store (I got mine at Smith’s) along with other great Rhodes bread products. I would recommend keeping a bag of them in your freezer so you can have a quick cinnamon roll anytime the craving hits!
