My FaVoRiTe Smells!


I have finally decided to sell Scentsy because I love it too much! Here are my current FAVORITE smells and why--

Skinny Dippin: "Fresh green apples perfectly harmonized with refreshing melons and juicy pears." This is Scott's fave, and not just because of its name! ;) It is a rich, happy smell that the whole family enjoys. It is actually part of Scentsy's Favorites Collection.

Blueberry Cheesecake: "Thick, rich, NY Cheesecake with a light graham cracker crust and delicious blueberries." I love to burn this Scentsy because it makes my home smell like I'm baking something delicious! It has a thick aroma, I can smell it when I open my garage, yet it is not too strong. YUM! There are loads more of delicious choices in the Bakery Collection.

Winter Wonderland: "Exhilarating blast of a frosty mint breeze." This Scentsy became one of my favorites when I was pregnant with Elliotte! It makes me think of the holidays, crisp air and fresh fallen snow. The hint of sweet mint is a clean smell that soothed my sick tummy. Anything from the Fall & Winter Collection will bring the warmth of the holidays into your home.
What are your favorites, and why?!

You can view the current products here. Make sure to check out the package deals for extra savings! If you have not tried any Scentsy products, and would love for your home to smell fantastic, you have got to give it a shot! I truly think it is the best product in its class, hands down.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like suggestions. If you find something you need, you can order right off the website. Or just let me know & I will place the order for you! I have samples of the smells at my home. But if you are unable to physically smell them, I would love to help you pick some sure faves!



Now, enough from the saleswoman! Would you like some current pictures of my family?? We attended two family weddings in the last month, and I will have some pictures from both very soon! Scott's sister Sherelyn married Dave, his brother Justin married Sarie, and my sister Heather had her baby! We have had a fun month with family!!! And cannot wait for the holidays! But boooo for cold weather. :) Will post pictures soon! Ciao.

Sisters in Jammies, Ellie Eats Food, and T's 2nd Birthday

It's hard to put them to bed when they look so cute and cozey!

Ellie's first bites of rice cereal. Hmmm... She would rather have milk. :) We will try again soon.



It took help from cousin Syd just once before T figured it out on her own.

Elliotte's Baby Blessing

I love blessing days! They are so sweet. Today was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed having family visit for Ellie's blessing. Scott did a wonderful job. I love him. Look at my cute little family!

Ellie's Birth Pics

Good-bye, Nampa. Due to a job lay-off, we decided to move our family and accept a new job for Scott. With the current job market we didn't want to pass up a good opportunity. Scott moved down and started the new job, me and Tenley stayed behind. I packed up the house the week before my induction, and me and T stayed at Scott's parents awaiting the arrival of the new baby! She didn't come on her own, so we went in for the induction on March 29th...
Good-bye Nampa. Good-bye Treasure Valley friends and family. Good-bye house we bought just after getting married. Good-bye sweet memories.
Got checked into the hospital, was 3 cm & 75%. My Dr. used the Prostaglandin gel to induce instead of Pitocin.. she applied it at 8:30 am and we were ready to rock and roll!
Ok, contractions started within 10 minutes, and there was no break. It was like one big long 30 minute cramping. Then they finally got into a rhythm and I had a little break in between each one. I got into the tub and enjoyed the soothing warm water. Decided I was probably dilated enough to get my epidural.. got out of tub. Epidural in, and I feel excellent. Dr. comes in to check on me, I'm at a 6, she breaks my water. She says she thinks it will not be a long labor, and should be "smooth sailing." It is 12:30 pm, she leaves. I tell the nurse I feel pressure and think I am getting close. "No, the monitor will tell me when the baby begins to descend, her heart rate will drop." Ok. I tell her again i feel pressure, can you check me?. Same response from nurse. 3 times I ask her to check me. No. It's now almost 1:00 pm...
Surprise, the Dr. pops her head back in and says "I just have this feeling I should check you before I go back to the office for my appointments." Her eyes light up and she says "yep, baby is right there!!" and starts gowning up without taking her eyes off me for a split second. A few sets of pushes, and baby is here at 1:07 p.m.! Dr. holds her up and says "we have a little peanut!" She is BEAUTIFUL and looks so tiny in comparison to her sister at birth. 7 lbs, 3 oz & 20 in. (I was surprised that 8 oz smaller makes a huge difference on a newborn.) We named her Elliotte Joy Hurd. Ellie for short, Joy after my grandma.




Tenley's reaction was: She walked up to Ellie, and rubbed her head as if she was a puppy, then walked away back to her french fries. :)

We just LOVE this little sweet baby and times is going by too fast. She is now 6 weeks old, and getting so chubby and alert! I will work on getting some current pictures up, of both the girls. Thank you for all the phone calls, texts, prayers, gifts, cards, etc. We love you all!
