july review

It's been a doozy of a month.

In with a bang, out with a bang, you know?

Unable to comprehend how July is gone already and our lovely summer

is on it's last leg, I've compiled a list of what I've done this month in an attempt to

feel like it was a lot...and maybe it was.

{the 4th}

oh, how I love this holiday.  Good old fashioned fun.

{Art Camp}

Since my Art Camp partner has been on a three week vacation, we've been taking a break too.  But she's back this week and we're planning on doing some more fun projects in August.  Our yards and gardens are adorned with beautiful projects.

{Blended Coffee}

I drank way too many on these this month...and don't plan on stopping :)

{Cold Treats}

In the form of Popsicles and snow cones, we've downed some good cold treats.

Nothing better than Popsicle's dripping down your arm.

{Patio Project}

I love how this turned out! Our patio has become a regular mealtime spot.

{Swim...and swim and swim and swim}

...and swim

{Blog Bday}

I celebrated TWO whole years of blogging.

Time flies when you're having fun, right!?!

{Mantle Makeover}

I gave my little mantle a makeover...just a little one. The non intrusive kind.

{Art}

Sis and I made sticky art with corn syrup...and we're still waiting for it to dry :)

{Little Breakdown}

Legos nearly killed me in July, but we cleaned the Lego room from top to bottom, got rid of some and now I'm feeling much better.

Breathe in...breathe out....

{Kid Car Wash}

We did a family project and have been enjoying it ever since.

Super easy project, super fun.

{Rummage}

I did my third (and final) rummage sale...and I lived to tell about it.

I tell you, they are a TON of work!  But my house and I are feeling much better now...

ahhhh, to be purged :)

So that was July in a post-sized nutshell.

I'm anticipating August to be full of things like carnivals, Brandi Carlile, Great Lakes, and the home stretch of pool days.

Here's to the end of July, y'all.

xo,
