Its always nice to be where your stuff is...

Home again! It is always so sad to leave our family behind, but always so great to get back home where the routines exists (sometimes) and the laundry smells like us. After a long trip away from home, I always dream up all kinds of crazy projects to work on when I get home. This trip I was focused on our backyard (ugh), what i could make for dinner (the eternal question), christmas crafts (yay homemade!), and pintrest execution (seems to be going around the internet these days.)

The bad news: looks like, as always, I'm putting a little too much on my plate. or am I? the good news: I've already made some headway!

I was working on meal planning 1st, which happen to go along with pinterest thanks to the gobs of amazing looking recipes posted by the second. Here is a jpeg of the meal planner i half made/half borrowed from a word template.

Here is a jpeg of this week's menus. Feel free to borrow. Oh, and recipes and critiques to follow!
 The backyard has also been weighing on my mind lately. We have a very tiny, very pathetic yard. Its about 20x20ft and a train wreck. More about that in a later post, BUT I was working back there to create a family friendly space before I left. So i got to obsess create a plan of action while i was away. Here is to hoping to get the ground tilled over the weekend and plant grass the following week. then we wait. speaking of waiting, i made things grow already! never thought i was one for a green thumb, but there it is...



While in Houston I did manage to work on a trip mini album a bit. Over on The Sampler's blog i posted the beginning of the album. Swing by and check it out what's up so far! Its also the 1st of the month so that means its REVEAL DAY! August is "All Gussied Up" and amazing!


Ok, enough blogging and time to get life back to normal. Have a great wednesday!

Keepin busy, eatin bluebell



We visited the bluebell ice cream factory yesterday. It was a great day trip in the beginnings of Texas hill country and I highly recommend to anyone within an hour or so driving distance. A beautiful drive, neat (quick) tour and ICE CREAM! 

hope everyone is finding some summer fun out there!

challenged in july2012

I was so looking forward to this month while at the same time dreading it beyond belief. This month marked our 1st flight with the squish. i packed and planned and prepared myself, but, bottom line, it was going to end up however it was going to end up...

Now that we've accomplished our flight and are currently having a lovely time visiting family and friends, I can report that the flight was CAKE. the boy and squish we're wonderful travelers. now i just get to dread the flight home and hope that the 1st flight wasnt just a fluke....

now on to the FUN challenge! This month The Sampler is featuring TWO sketches! A card and a layout sketch. I participated with the sketch challenge...


i snapped these a-little-too-dark photos of the boy on a flight to houston last summer. it was the 1st time i got to bust out my cameo on a layout and i was just having fun playing! keeping it simple and with just the touch of color made me happy on this layout!

to see the sketches, check out inspirations from the design team, and play along, head over to The Sampler's blog ASAP!
