July In Review

July has been... unfavourable for me, to say the least. Although some really good things happened, it just seems like I've been really pushing on the days and weeks this month trying to get by. Maybe I'm just in a fog but I really haven't been myself. You may have noticed already, my blog has been kind of a ghost town. Trust me it wasn't for lack of interest, it mostly is just from a general distaste for everything. One of the things that helps me when I'm blue like this is to bake, which coincidentally ended up being pretty much the only thing I blogged about in the past few weeks. I'm glad July is drawing to a close now, so I can shake it off and focus on my blog again. 
Here's what we were up to in July: ♥ I hopped over the fenced I had been on and finally changed my blog name.
♥ My sister Cherie and her 4 month old son, Torin, moved in. It's been a very busy and crowded couple of weeks, but I wouldn't change it for the world!
♥ One of my oldest friends, Ally, gave birth to her second daughter, Maddison. She's an absolute rose.
♥ Jesse and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary!
♥ A giant clusterfuck prevented us from seeing Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden.. I hate my life.
♥ Josie had her first beach day! Surprisingly, as we live on Lake Huron, I just hadn't gotten around to bringing her last summer.

Watching and Listening:

♥ The 100 - Been on the hunt for new shows to watch, this one was number one. Very Lord of the Flies type show, over all pretty good.

♥ Tammy - Went on a BFF date with Carrie, and I think we would both go again multiple times except we'd tire of peeing our pants from laughing so hard.

♥ Hemlock Grove - I can't tear myself away from this show. I'm now watching it for the second time because, of course, I had to get Carrie hooked. Those damn Skarsgard brothers ~fans self~

♥ Kings Of Leon // Mechanical Bull - this album came out forever ago but I just can't seem to turn it off. We're seeing them again in August and I can't friggin' wait.

I hope everyone's July was better than mine and that you're out enjoying the sun and warmth! I can't wait for August to arrive, I have so many ideas and fun adventures lined up to share with you all! xo

JULY IN REVIEW

I can't believe it's August, already! It felt like July took forever to go through, but that's not to say some eventful things didn't take place. Jesse and I celebrated 6 years of being together, the bows in my shop have been pretty successful, Josie's been growing like a bad seed, and I've been crossing a lot of things off my 25 before 25 list!

What Josie's Been Doing:

• Growing teeth! She has two now and two more coming up
• Sitting up on her own
• Trying really hard to crawl and stand up
• Eating real food
• Discovered her voice... big time

What We've Been Doing:

• Catching up on movies. As big movie bluffs we've really been slacking. The other night we sat down and watched Hansel And Gretel, Jack The Giant Slayer, Snitch, The Guilt Trip and 21 & Over. None of them were edge of my seat amazing, but it was a good night none the less.
• Hooked on True Blood and Dexter - I'm going to be really sad when it's over. They're both getting so intense!
• Relaxing. God, I love having a fire pit and roasting marshmallows with my family and friends.
• Working on DIY projects around the house.
• Watching Josie grow like a bad weed!
