Packing Master

I just love stores like Sams and Costco.  Well, I suppose it's a love/hate thing.  We always find so many things that we "need" and it really adds up fast!  I seriously catch myself thinking irrational thoughts like "gosh, 6 pounds of pasta is a lot but it's a good deal!"

Between the two stores, I suppose we prefer Sams but we honestly don't hit up the store very often.  It's just the two of us so it doesn't make sense to buy our groceries there (at all).  Even so, I love to browse.  Anyhoo, I had to take this picture of Jordan on our last trip to Sams to show off his expert architecture skillz.  Jordan is an excellent packer and always finds a way to maximize our space whether it's the shopping cart, car, luggage, or even the occasional debate over the "right" way to load the dishwasher (no complaints from me on that one!).

Check out this cart...  Somehow he worked it out so that there was a whole extra space in the front!  Whew, that's art!

While at Sams, we found this handy wagon that we are both excited to use!  In my last post (HERE), I wrote about our trip to the arboretum and how great it would be to have a wagon.  Well, this little guy is perfect and comes complete with a small table and cup holders! All in a collapsible design for easy storage in our garage!
When we got it home, we made sure that our Bison Brute cooler fit into the wagon.  Priorities, people!  Fortunately, its rated to hold up to 150lbs so it will easily hold the Brute fully loaded up.

Ha!  Well, that is a short little post for today.  I feel like I should include some ridiculous disclaimer that I received no payment for sharing my opinions about the wagon or the Brute!  LOL!

Have a great day!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

Image
I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
