Beatrice sandwich! And some of the very best pizza we have ever eaten behind us 🍕@pizzeriabianco
These two are obsessed with “Fancy Like” and mostly obsessed with watching @walkerhayes dance to Fancy Like with his family 😎😎 It’s currently their top pick for the bedtime song🎶 and here’s a snippet of what went down last night! #fancylike
“Mama— take a picture of this face…” he says. And I’m grabbing my camera and trying to contain my laughter as I think to myself, “I’m just the absolute luckiest to know this kid.” 💛 Everyone needs a mister Conrad in their life.
When you convince (bribe?) the entire family to take a family photo with the real camera 📸 ps- spot the camera remote😂
Sometimes I raise my voice. Sometimes I beg. Sometimes I make ultimatums. Sometimes I hate bedtime to the freaking goodnight moon and back.
But then they’ll grab my chin and cheeks and lean in close to tell me they love me. And they’ll thank Heavenly Father for “no witches and no robbers” during their bedtime prayers. And insist on giving each other 17 silly hugs before the lights go out because “I’m gonna miss her so much when I sleep.”
I’ll take the 48 minutes of squatting between their beds for back scratches and the unexpected trip to the potty 12 minutes after the last potty trip if it means they keep this bond forever. Witnessing their complete love and sisterhood changes me. Even when I say I hate bedtime with my three-year-olds, I’m such a sucker for this stage of life with them.
A few photos from life lately over here - enjoying family time and life in Arizona. Thanks for being here while I’ve kind of been away for a little while… haven’t been doing well physically (some health issues) but that doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped taking one too many photos☺️
The game of “Who Can Stand on Mama’s Back and Wiggle Their Feet Around Without Falling Off!” …which is really just code for “mama would like a back massage” but they think it’s crazy fun and my back knots are screaming happy so everyone wins. #momhacks
One wall and pipe at a time, the home renovation is coming together. 💛 #renovation #homedecor #wallpaper (wallpaper is @riflepaperco🌸)
Just over here holding all my (not-so-little) babies close and stepping away from pretty much everything else. Trying to cuss less and write more. Often feel on the cusp of big breakthroughs I want from my life (yay!) while simultaneously giving too much power to my anxiety (ugh). Clinging to my evening prayers and favorite yoga class and busting out the Christmas music a season early. My footing might be terribly wobbly at the moment and who wants to hear the girl on the verge of nervous tears dish out any kind of life advice, but for anyone else in a similar rut (I’m so sorry) – might I suggest the biggest serving of strawberry shortcake as a remedy. Plus standing outside during a warm rain (Arizona, you healer with a perfectly timed monsoon season, how’d you know?)… and maybe put the phone down more. Or whatever version of these three things might float your boat. I’m sure chocolate soufflé with a dose of sunshine instead of shortcake and rain could also do the trick. The phone one I’m sticking by though. Sending you lots of love.
Bringing our summer along with us forever by way of new freckles scattered across most of our faces! ✨ …you can see B’s first sprinkle of itty bitty dots across her little nose and cheeks in the 2nd pic and even with all the lathering of sunscreen and my blessed daily nagging about sun hats, I’m nothing but proud in this moment!🥳 #summer #motherhood #magic
We are slowly making our way back to Arizona this week (my kids school year begins August 2nd😱) and we’ve never been more out of routine (definitely missing black out curtains right about now) BUT we’ve clocked in so many striking sunsets and got to hold and hug so many loved ones, it’s been everything.
I meant to share earlier this week that Amazon is running a promo on my book right now through the end of the month (until 7/31)— use the code 3YELLOW for $3 off your book purchase!
If you’ve been considering purchasing, it’d mean so much to have you do so! Thank you for supporting me and my book and I hope you find it worth your while and time.
For those of you who have already purchased and read— if there was a takeaway or something that resonated with you as you read, would you consider sharing in the comments below for new potential readers to see?
Thank you again for your support! This has been such a vulnerable and thrilling and challenging and exciting and scary endeavor and I’ve really appreciated the support. 💛
Just trying to keep up with these three on the mountain and ignore how sore my butt is from my saddle😅
On a boat! With a lot of laughs! And a few tears. Plus a whole lotta sunscreen and a couple of epic tube flips 🚤
Our summer adventures are getting a little jumbled when it comes to me sharing anything in chronological order (a part of my brain is freaking out right now but another part of my brain is feeling a little bit more free.) Sparklers are our family’s happy place so we continued our 4th of July celebrating tonight with a few on the deck. Of all the summer activities so far, a box of sparklers a few days post holiday was Samson’s favorite. He hugged me so tightly at bedtime as he told me for maybe the 18th time how much fun he had tonight. Somehow I forget anything else I loved this summer… his enthusiasm for an evening of sparklers brought sparklers to the top of my favorite summer activities list, too. 🧨
The BEST time learning all about bees 🐝 with the bee expert herself @mckayjo in Salt Lake City. We haven’t stopped talking about all the impressive things those hard working bees do each day and somehow honey has made its way into more of our meals this week 😋 Thank you for having us, @mckayjo!
blueberry pancakes, at our house. but it doesn’t really matter….puffed pancakes, banana pancakes, plain pancakes. any kind, really, and you are good to go. make them at dinnertime, they will taste better. and eat them with bacon. but don’t tell us if you do because then we’ll just be jealous because we didn’t have any bacon with ours and that was a bummer. ;)
no bacon?! gasp. haha, they still look delicious! too bad there’s no chocolate chip ones…? ;) happy week to you!
xo,

Not a fan of bacon..unless turkey bacon. But oh, how i love me some pancakes in the middle of the day.

Looks delicious! I need to eat breakfast more often.. :)
Yum-O! Those look good! We’ve been on a french toast kick as of late, but maybe with Sienna’s berry obsession we can pull a switcharoo :) Thanks for the inspiration and the midnight pancake craving lol
Sundays are definitely for blueberry pancakes, church, and time with family. And these look so delish! YUM-O!!
BTW, love the vine video of your littles! Just joined vine myself. Hope we can be Vine pals.

I saw these photos on Instagram today! They looked so tasty that my boyfriend and I went and got banana and blueberry pancakes for lunch :) Thanks for the inspiration! So tasty.
You had me at pancakes ; )
Pancakes… My kryptonite. -_-
i wish i was as talented as you are to cook 3 pancakes at one time! i usually just do 1 and if i’m confident enough sometimes 2.
and banana pancakes are my absolute favorite – with chocolate chips.
we had ours for dinner! I prefer pancakes for dinner, they are ten times more delicious for some reason :-)
yum we love breakfast for dinner too :) I haven’t had blueberry pancakes in awhile we will have to do that soon!

Bacon and maple syrup with pancakes is a must. Gorgeous photos.
Breakfast is SO much better when it isn’t eaten at breakfast time. :)
every time i eat pancakes jim gaffigan’s voice pops into my head!

I made pancakes this Sunday, too! Strawberries, ice-cream and maple syrup for me. So so good!
YEAY – we have the exact same tradition – every Sunday. Loooong pancake breakfasts – usually with a whole table full of topping choices. Our neighbours popped round this Sunday and joined us! The best way to spend a weekend morning.
Love your delicious photos!
Huuuuum!! That’s look so good!
We had blueberry pancakes on Sunday too! But for lunch,,, ha! x
Have a nice weekend!!
Wish a lot of smile all of you :) :) :)

Oh, they look good! We had blueberries yesterday too, but in the form of homemade blueberry pie! My husband made one with the fresh berries we froze in the summer, specifically for this purpose. So darn good!
Yum, I love pancakes any way and at every time of the day :-)
booooooooring!
How to have fun in the morning with some kitchen utensils… you have that magic wand, Taza, Yum! xx

mmmmmmmm! we make it a point in our house to have pancakes or waffles every single sunday and we eat them right in front of the tv – usually with cartoons on! it’s the little things!! :)
xx, kara
My husband said he wanted pancakes last night. I wasn’t really in the mood. Then at 10pm last night when I saw this post I told him I decided I did want pancackes. Haha he wasn’t very amused :) But those blueberries in that batter look so good!
Glad to see you all are feeling better! We have been on a pancakes kick for dinner over here. They’re just so good! :)
looks yummy!
We did blueberry waffles…but I have to admit, I like pancakes more :). Next Sunday!

I love all of your photos. I’m reading you’re blog for a long time. I think you are an amazing mum! (:
We just got moved to 1:00pm church and are taking major advantage of the time to relax and have wonderful big pancake breakfasts:)
We had pancakes too :) Chocolate chip! I found a recipe for 2-ingredient pancakes that I really want to try! Bananas and something else, I can’t remember! It was off recipegirl.com. I’m super excited to try them!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Breakfast for dinner is the best…. and even better when theres blueberries :)
blueberry pancakes are the BEST.
this post made me laugh. i posted our saturday morning cake today :) we must be on the same wavelengh or something :) :) :) i’ll do pancakes next week sometime. now i just wish i didn’t have this morning sickness so that i could eat them too. things one does for babies, right?

YUMMY IN THE TUMMY!
Bacon + pancakes = heaven! And there’s nothing better than having breakfast food for dinner. Love it!
There’s nothing much better than pancakes at home on a sunday morning!
They look delicious !
We had crepes yesterday with a bunch of friends. The best way to spend a Sunday.

The best pancakes I’ve EVER had were the wild blueberry ones at Clinton St. Bakery which we ate on the little steps next door to it because they were out of seats… SO GOOD.
Hi Taza, could you please give us your recipe ? Because I’m french and even if we are good cook, we are really bad at making pancakes ;)
Thank you,
Pauline

Loving the nice breakfast! Almost inspires me to want to get in the kitchen and start cooking! Cute pictures!

We had pancakes for dinner last night! With delicious grilled pineapple (try it, so good!) and maple syrup. And some with my sister’s homemade pear syrup (YUM!). There may or may not have been bacon. :)
even sans bacon those look so good! something about breakfast for dinner makes the weekend so good :)
Oh god, I tried to resist and wait for panc1ake day, but there is no way- I’ve got to make these now- mouthwatering…! ♥
http://tailoreddays.blogspot.co.uk/
that’s what we’re having tonight with the missionaries! and of course there will be bacon.
Looks so good! What a great Sunday :)

These pictures are absolutely stunning! I will have to remember to take pictures next time I make pancakes, hopefully they turn out even half as nice as yours <3 These are making me crave pancakes, guess who's heading to the store!

You Should try ELVIS pancakes! Peanut butter, banana slices, and BACON in the batter. Maybe they sound gross, but trust me, they’re amazing pancakes.
Those look delicious! My hubby isn’t a fan of pancakes/waffles/crepes, unfortunately! Otherwise I’d be making them every weekend. On second thought…maybe it’s a good thing he doesn’t like breakfast-y foods. I’d be 500 pounds!

Pancakes are the best!! MMMMM
Your pancakes look very good ! I’m craving for it now. I wish I had a good receipe to make some…
We didn’t have any bacon with ours this week either. So I threw in some chocolate chips to the batter for good measure!
These look delish. Do you mind if we crash your next Sunday brunch?! We’ll bring bacon :)
Oh there’s nothing better than pancakes on a Sunday morning!
so good! i’m making my boyfriend a surprise breakfast with blueberry pancakes tomorrow :)
xo, cheyenne
Is your recipe a secret? Cause if not I’d love to know what it is…those look PERFECT.

This is one of those things that I have been looking at doing for a while, but this is definitely a good reason to get on and do it!
Can you please…send me the receipt? Thank you.
it’s just some recipe that came up in a google search for “homemade pancakes.” we don’t use fancy recipes… mostly come from online. :)
you guys should really do a recipe section. everything just so yum. you know the home-made kinda yum!
