Then We Snapped - Week 1 (and a few extra)

So I have joined an amazing group of photographers who are also taking daily photos. I will now be blogging my 365 project once a week in a blog circle. A normal week will run from Sunday to Saturday but this week is a little different because I had to start where July left off.

My first week of this new little project started in Atlanta Georgia celebrating my Sister's wedding and ended back in Sioux Falls at the fair! hope you enjoy:)



“We're all a little weird and life's a little weird. And when we find someone who's weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness call it love.” 
― Dr. Seuss



“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
 For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
 For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
 People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
 As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”
― Sam Levenson



“The world spins. We stumble on. It is enough.”
— Colum McCann



“Love doesn't make the world go around, it just makes the ride worthwhile.”
― Franklin P. Jones



“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust



“To a young heart everything is fun.”
― Charles Dickens



Its not the chase that I love
Its me following you.
-The Avett Brothers



“When the weather is hot, keep a cool mind. When the weather is cold, keep a warm heart.”
― Ajahn Brahm



“You may not remember the time you let me go first.
Or the time you dropped back to tell me it wasn't that far to go.
Or the time you waited at the crossroads for me to catch up.
You may not remember any of those, but I do and this is what I have to say to you:

Today, no matter what it takes,
we ride home together.”
― Brian Andreas

Thanks so much for stopping by now head over and see what Lynzi's week looked like:)

Stitch Fix #3

...and #2.

I just got my 3rd stitch fix!! I totally failed and never blogged my second fix so at the end of this post I give you a peek at what my second fix looked like.

For those of you not familiar with Stitch Fix it is an online personal styling website. You go online fill out a style profile and then schedule a Fix. You receive a box with 5 items personally picked out for you along with a style card for each item. You pay for what you keep and if you keep everything you get 25% off. If you decide to send everything back you pay a $20.00 styling fee. You can read more about it here

This Fix was great as always and so much fun to get in the mail. I did not keep everything from this fix but the things I did keep I love and will wear a ton. 




Pamelo, Brook Dot Print Tie-Waist Top:
I can't say there was really anything I liked about this top. It was boxy and unflattering. I'm also not a huge fan of anything that ties in front or polka dots. I sent it back!

Daniel Rainn, Taya flutter Sleeve Silk Blouse:
I liked this top. Its light, the color is pretty and it goes with just about any bottom. It was a keep.

  Daniel Rainn, Prylin Printed Pintuck Detailed Blouse:
The print on this top was the first thing I noticed when I opened my box. I loved it so I really wanted this to fit. Unfortunately it made me look boxy and made my arms and chest look huge. I sent it back:(
Fun2Fun, Nannette Swiss Dot Sleeve Blouse:
Love this top! It was probably one of my favorite things in this fix. I love the color I love the fit, I will be wearing this a ton.

Mavi, Yasmin Skinny Jean:
I was so worried when I saw a pair of skinny jeans in this fix but the fit so good! How does my stylist to this!! They have lots of stretch to them and I need to track down another pair ASAP!!

As I mentioned before I never blogged my 2nd fix. So here are my style cards and some crappy phone photos of what I received. Yes I kept everything from that fix...it was so good!




Feel free to check out my first fix.

If you would like to schedule your own fix be sure to sign up here. It is so much fun!!

I'm 32

Today I turned 32. It was a wonderful day! Church, brunch, cake and presents, napping on the drive back to Sioux Falls, and watching the kids play in the front yard. It was perfect:)

My Big Boy

I'm very proud of my little guy tonight. I made him put on his Thomas undies when we came in from playing in the kiddie pool. He told me right away that he needed to go potty and he peed on the potty like such a big boy! We still have away to go but I'm hoping this house will be diaper free in the near future.
