Another thing crossed off my Summer Bucket List. Good thing too because Summer is quickly coming to an end although I’m sure the hot temps will stick around for a while. This was the perfect indoor activity to do when the temps were still in the 100s and I had a feeling Ben would love it. I started by creating the list in Word. I picked items that we had around the house, some items were in plain sight and others were more hidden. I printed the list off on card stock to make it a little sturdier. Looking over his list.

Candy Bar Ice Cream Pie

You’re pretty.”

What’s Been Happening Round Here
Lauren over at My Grey Desk is hosting a fashion challenge for all us ladies. Since I didn’t get my sh*t together in time I’ve created my own little challenge for myself. 30 different outfits in 30 days. Of course I’m able to mix and match the same tops and bottoms, but no exact outfit duplicates for 30 days. Here’s the first 6 outfits. And yes the mirror and lighting are still horrific in this house too. I will find a solution. Even if it’s just some Windex.
