dr. seuss always had the right idea.

i've used this as a mantra many times.

this makes me crazy.. why!!!

i.love.pumpkins.

i'm trying to persuade jim to get into crocheting.

this will be his 1st project.

slim bought me a sewing machine for my birthday last year.

he recently bought me sewing classes.

all i need is this charm and i'll be good to go.

*i have a fab brother machine, but this is so classic!

every day i'm hustling.

enjoy your day!

pinterest. omg.

have you explored pinterest?

eddie love.
good old ben.
i want this for my 27th birthday (hint hint)

i have a new obsession. check out my boards.

i am amazed.

jim just amazes me.

he is so handy and imaginative and can fix anything.

the brave little entrepreneur started up a

small lawn care business in the neighborhood this summer.

we put out a few flyers last night and he already has 3 customers!

in preparing for his upcoming jobs, jim realized that his

weed-eater was busted and the fuel lines needed to be replaced.

there was a brief panic, some internet searching and a trip to home depot...

he sat and worked with the tiny pieces for about an hour.

soon it was test time- filled the ole boy with gas...

and bam! it started up super fast and was good to go.

i am so proud of jim's hard work.

he explained everything to me, step by step-

just in case i needed to do this in the future.

*lord help me if i ever need to do anything involving a weed-eater. i know i will fail.

i think i might be so amazed by slim's handyman-ship

because in my house growing up, we called in help for everything.

don't get me wrong, my dad is an amazing & funny & smart & kind man-

but he doesn't know (or care to learn) a thing about being handy.

my mom found this shirt for my dad for father's day

and it couldn't be more fitting!

backpack in the park.

slim & i put a few hours in this morning at the

for the kid in all of us event: backpack in the park

our new friend, and camp horizon alum anique.

we scored these swell volunteer shirts

we constructed the backpack & school supply boxes,

covered them with black paper and decorated them.

it was pretty fun, and i know the kids will really love all the cool backpacks.

*we got pizza too!

pot shots.

my girl cori shared this super quirky cool artist,

ashleigh brilliant with me today.

she remembered that slim & i are huge fans of ice cream....

i had d'lites ice cream tonight with my mom-

we both had the almond joy swirl. it was to die for.

*don't worry, slim didn't go hungry, mom got him a cup of reese's.
