{ 4th of July }

I hope everyone had a super fun 4th this year!

We both didn't have to work from Thursday on so Geoff and I did all kinds of fun stuff over the long holiday weekend! We did a little camping, hit up the Ross Park swimming pool, set off loads of our own fireworks, Geoff walked with his fire engine and crew in the parade, we went to a friend's barbecue, and of course we went to the fireworks down by the river! All in all it was an awesome weekend with lots of good fun, good friends and good food! Kinda sad that it's all over! ):

{ Vintage Hem }

You know when you find the perfect dress or skirt? You just see it on the rack and you're in love? Then you go to the fitting room and try it on.....and it's too short?

Solution!

I found this awesome website while surfing some other blogs and just had to post it! Vintage Hems is a business that sells the cutest ever slips that are meant to lengthen too short skirts or dresses! They have some super cute styles and to top it all off I find them very reasonable priced.

How stinkin' cute is that black and white polka dot one? How about the stacked ruffle white one! I'll be for sure getting me a couple of these!!

{ Talent }

Most people who read my blog already know all about Bakerella. She is this amazing lady who does even more amazing things with cakes and what not. I've made her cake pops on a few occasions and they were great, however I about died when I saw these. How stinkin adorable are these? I can already see myself making them for 4th of July. These little guys just solidify how amazing Bakerella really is.

{ Rain, Rain, Go Away }

No seriously. Go. Away.

After I got back from the store this afternoon the sky opened up (again) and proceeded to dump on us (again).

I literally grabbed my camera seconds after it started raining and look how much water was already coming down the rain gutter!!

What you don't see in these pictures is the ice cream truck that continued to circle my block for the next ten minutes. Seriously did he think that kids were going to be hankering for some ice cream in weather like this?

It's June and for some reason it just doesn't feel like it! Come on we need some heat!!

{ Paper Hearts }

I just saw a preveiw for this movie and I think it looks so good. A must see for sure. Plus I ♥ Michael Cera. I just love his 'off' sense of humor!

{ Rules To Live By }

Health
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured/comprised from plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Make time for prayer.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2008.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep at least 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
Personality
11.. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't overdo. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18.. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Society
25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. So stay in touch.
Life
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
34. GOD heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Finally, BE HAPPY!


A friend emailed me this list of things to strive towards in 2009 and I thought it was amazing! Thought I'd share!

{ Crafts Gone Wrong }

I stumbled across this blog earlier today and thought it was just too funny not to share. Everyone knows that more than likely 25% of the time that you attempt to complete a new craft idea it goes wrong. Obviously we're not the only ones! Without further ado check out this site....

{ Seriously Lovin'.....}

I seriously a naughty blogger. It's been too long. However the weather gets nice and who wants to sit on the computer? Not I! Anyway here are some random things that I'm enjoying right now!


1. Dove Cream Oil Lotion- Geoff and I went to Heise Hot Springs with some friends on Tuesday and I of course got a little too much sun. This lotion is the only thing coming between me and my skin peeling! It's fantastic.

2. These new Crystal Light Skin Essentials. I have tried a few flavors but I keep coming back to the Pomegranate Lemonade flavor. It's pretty stinkin good. Plus they are sized just right for a water bottle.

3. I ordered some of these reusable totes online and they just arrived in the mail. After grocery shopping with them I'm in love. I think I'm gonna have to get some more already. Plus they are just so cute!

4. Otter Pops. When the weather starts to get super hot I practically live off of these. I have like two boxes of 100 on hand at any given time!

5. Mongolian Grill- Geoff and I are going there tonight with some friends and I am already craving it hard core. I love stacking my bowl high and getting to take home lots of yummy veggies and noodles for later.

That's it! I hope everyone else is enjoying the weather as much as I am!

{ Baby 'B' }

This little gal was such a cutie and so easy to work with! She literally slept right though every photo...even when we had to cram her into cute baskets and bowls!! haha

{ Creative Tuesday }
