Yard primping

Among others things going on at our house, we got out last weekend, in the yard. Papa was itching to use his chain saw...

 

 

Just a trim, no worries, she's still standing! lol

and looks much better.

 

I re potted Trueman (our Norfolk island pine from Xmas) and

a few newbies I picked up. Some still waiting, as I ran out of soil.

 

 

Grass mowed, limbs bundled, no couple's spats

 

FANTASTIC DAY!

Project 333 finally!

Sorry this post was delayed, I have been wearing this 33 for a lil over a month now.

While most are good picks, I am finding I wear about half of what I chose.

So, I need to tweak my selection for the rest of the summer.

 

I am hacking up old clothes and making new items out of them so I will leave a few spots

open in my list to try these out in my daily life.

 

Keep ya posted!

 

ps: I have been kicking around the idea that picking 40-59 items for year round wear may suit me

better...with switch ups allowed every other month. Less in and out or storage and and less to store!

Life knocked me on my ass... on BecomeAnEX.org

Life knocked me on my ass... on BecomeAnEX.org: Not only did I fall off the waggon, but it drug me about 50 miles before I let go... I made it 80 days, folks. THEN life in my emotional mind went to crap. My inner strength was not enough to support me while my outer support system was MIA.

In...

Update...and getting caught up.

I feel so out of touch.

There have been many personal obstacles this past month that has attributed to my tardiness in posting, but my goal for June is to get caught up.

So bare with me, I will had an update on all the fun things we have been doing at the 3 name house shortly.

 

I other news, Bug and Dex have been bonding over summer break. Aren't they cute?!

It folds up!!!

Loving this new bike! Wish me luck I haven't rode it yet.
Ok, my neighbor have me this sad little bike, the seat was broken, brakes didn't work, tires were flat.
BUT IT FOLDS UP!!! So, of to my friends at a local bike repair it went. Once home I replaced the seat (go tools!!!) and cleaned her up.
I look at it this way. Yes, I already have a trike. No the trike can't go camping with me (enter new foldy bike). Yes, I had to pot some money into it, but it didn't go to the dump! And it was way cheaper than buying new. Score!!!
PS. It matches my lil car, Lucy. AND IT FOLDS UP!!!!

Project 333 - my new way of dealing with my wardrobe

I recently found this fantastic concept of controlling your minimal wardrobe without feeling restricted. I love this idea (thank you Courtney Carver) you utilize 33 items in your wardrobe, packing the rest away until the next 3 month cycle (for details please go here)!!!

The bonus for me, MY SON HAS DECIDED TO JOIN ME!
He has been tossing around the idea of creating his own "uniform" for a while now. After I did the 6 item challenge a few months ago, he starting asking lots of questions about his clothing and who makes it, why fads are fads and people give in to them etc. (I love watching my child's brain grow!)

I still need to take pictures of his 33. I will post mine shortly.

We did adjust a couple of the rules a little to fit our life. We are limiting our pj's and lounge ware to 3 outfits - as we both sleep and exercise in the same clothes. And we aren't really counting jewelry as items because we both wear the same jewelry every single day.

Bug - wears a ring his great Grammy got him for Christmas and a set of dog tags my Soldier Husband gifted him the first Christmas we started dating.

I - wear my wedding set (obviously), a pearl necklace, and silver hoops (my Grampy gave me before he passed).
Needless to say we both are pretty minimal in our jewelry. BUT, I have a scarf thing...Not sure what to call it. So, to make sure I reigned that addiction  - I made sure to add them into my 33. Will power! HAHA!!

Please feel free to join us on our Project 333 challenge! More info to come!

Bark for Life 2013

 This past weekend, Offspring and I took the four-leggeds to Bark for Life!








This is Offspring with his dog Dex.

 This is my old boy, Avery. He made over a mile and then sacked out in the car for most of the morning.

 This is my beautiful StepMommy. She is a big player in helping her local chapter of Relay for Life (when she isn't faced with family illness). So we are helping support her this year and taking part is the Relay in July.

 Waiting to start...

And they are off!

 There were Doggy demos of various kinds...

Ave, working that last lap!




I highly recommend checking out Relay for Life, or the American Cancer Society to see how you can participate in a local event or donate to the cause.

I bet you or someone you love has been effected by cancer....


Help us stop it in it's tracks.


To sponsor my walk this July please go here to show your support. Thank you!
