Makeover Mondays

You can blame math for sucking my soul dry and making me feel like not blogging for the past month. I've been so busy working on math (and failing at it) that I haven't had anytime at all to do things that I like such as baking, crafting or blogging! I am trying to reclaim my summer by getting back into everything, and trying to get my math done by doing little bits throughout the week. For this Makeover Monday I decided to focus on where I have been spending most of my time (working on my math), my bed! I sleep in...

Time is flying by!

Alas, I totally have been slacking again. Woops. I have been busy babysitting (yay!) and hanging out with some friends. The weather has been pretttyyy nice out (sorry I am like an old person constantly talking about the weather but it plays such a big part of my summer activities!) and I got to go to the pool with my friend Kelly the other day. Later that night we went and saw Bridesmaids along with our other friend Katie. That movie was hilarious! I am hoping to go see Super 8 tomorrow with my friend Danny, it got...

Whimsical Wednesday

Well I haven't gotten a full time job yet but I have been lucky enough to find some babysitting jobs. Getting to spend some time playing hide and seek and cooking for kids has made my week so much better! Tomorrow I will babysit a bit in the morning and then go swimming with my friend Kelly later in the afternoon. I would have posted last night but my computer was having some R&R time at the Apple store while they tried to figure out why my computer keeps blacking out. Sadly they couldn't find anything but I updated...

Makeover Mondays

Holla! Its a little bit past Monday but I will still post the intended home inspiration pictures! I have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine and warm weather northern Indiana has been getting, it has been so wonderful lately! I have been lucky to go swimming with some of my wonderful friends, something I rarely do this early in the summer but the water has been so warm! I also started to help out my family with some of the issues we have been having on our old mac desktop, its running rather slow now since it is six...

Cookie Dough Truffles

I think this may be one of my favorite new recipes! They taste just as good as they sound, for all of those cookie dough fanatics out there, this is the recipe for you. I was fighting my family back while making the dough, I promised them, the end result would be so much better than just eating the dough, and I definitely did not lie! The recipe also isn't hard, it only takes some time due to have to chill the dough, but you can go do anything you want in that time, which in my case was working on sewing...

Tutorial Thursdays

So I had been wanting to do this tutorial for a while, I just hadn't really given myself the time to do it until this past week! The idea of giving my camera strap a face lift sounded awesome to me, especially since I hate having brand names plastered all over my stuff. What you will need: a camera strap a peice of fabric that is big enough to cover it (approximately 24" by 5") rubber band measuring tape  scissors sewing machine iron So pick out the fabric you want to cover your camera strap with. Measure...

Whimsical Wednesday

Not gonna lie, this is one of my favorite days to post. : ) I love putting all of my favorite pictures in one place, its one of my main reasons for starting this blog!

Those recipes will be going up this weekend, so no worries you will get to make them yourself soo...
