tip of my life (not just of the day)


Some may already know this but it was the coolest thing ever. I have been complaining lately about all the clothes I have been ruining with grease (I've been cooking more and I do wear an apron but it still gets on me somehow) So a friend of mine said something about using dawn dish detergent so I tried it on  all my grease stained clothes even on clothes that I have already washed.... so I took the clothes with stains and put it directly on the stain and waited a few minutes, then I rinsed it off (didn't want bubbles taking over the washer) and after drying it looks like I saved at least 4 shirts and a pair of shorts. So awesome.

"they were cones"


One summer I watched the wedding singer almost everyday and my favorite line was and is "they were cones". I have done A little more than just watching one movie this summer...

I made a couple of projects and more that I haven't taken pictures of yet...
I reupholstered chairs that I bought 4 years ago and I have found the perfect table to match the wood.
Made this from my Scandinavian home craft book.

I have been doing lots of crafts and have been able to read many books this summer we have just been keeping busy it has been nice to spend time together too.

Potty training is on hold for another week I didn't approach it well and Aurora is very stubborn so we will try again soon...but seriously don't know how much longer I change her dirty diapers.

last Friday we celebrated our 5 year anniversary in Salt Lake at the Grand America Hotel ...It was so nice, the best part was the friends that made it possible Ali took her overnight and Katie O. (works in the apartment office) took her in the morning. Aurora had a blast and we...well we fought on and off the whole night... thats kind of how we roll when we get stressed. Next year we will just keep it very simple.
