June In Review + Sponsor Promo Code

I feel like I spent the entire month of June looking forward to the end of it because of the Luau party I was planning and then it just disappeared before my eyes. Here are some things we did get up to though:

♥ Planted the garden, hurray!
♥ Went on over 5 geocache hikes, we even brought Josie to find her first one, she loved it.
♥ Jesse and I started trying to eat healthy.. Jesse's doing better than I am.. what can I say? I love soda.
♥ Started shopping around for a new car (this lady may be getting her license)
♥ Updated my summer wardrobe a bit. Can't wait to share!

As I said last month, gotta keep trying to add my Instagram recap in my monthly reviews. I haven't been using instagram as much as I usually do lately, hopefully that helps with trying to pick my favourites! Here are my top 9 instagram photos from June:
 
Lastly, as you can see I've added a few tweaks to my blog. Everything looks a bit cleaner now, and I do love how my photos are a lot larger now and are the main focus when you look at my blog. Ads are still the same size and price, except this month you can receive 10% off by using the code JULY! The large ad is currently booked until August but there's still plenty of medium and small ads to go around! Don't forget, swappers use code HAPPYWHALE to get small ads for free. I look forward to partnering with you for the month of July! Lots of really cool things happening my way and I'd love to have you on board. :)

I have been babying the idea of changing my name (to match a new business idea Jesse and I have up our sleeves), what would my lovely readers think of that?

April In Review

Another month down. I'm so excited for May - so many birthdays, the weather is clearing up (finally!), the garden is starting to bloom and we have so many projects in the works here at home!

Here are some things:
♥ Jesse's birthday is on the 7th and I'm so excited to celebrate!
♥ Our town got a new convenient store and that's probably like the biggest thing ever. I feel like this is Endora and I'm Gilbert Grape.
♥ My good friends just announced they're having a baby boy! I had my fingers crossed for a girl but I won't complain! Hurray!!
♥ Jesse and I started a project together and I am really, really excited about it!

AUGUST IN REVIEW


The only reason I can't believe that it's September already, is because of how much Josie has grown! I'm used to time flying by these days but it's just so weird seeing Josie so big all of the sudden. She will be 9 months on the 11th.

What Josie's Been Doing:

  • CRAWLING. That's right, she started crawling on Friday. I can't believe it!
  • Eating solids and normal food. She really loves potato soup.
  • Growing almost all her front teeth, 3 and counting!
  • Dancing and recognizing songs, sounds, and names.

What We've Been Doing:

  • We finally painted the nursery and the craft room. They are the same colour but so what, who cares?
  • Started decorating the nursery. I have so many ideas for it! Right now she just has this really cool pom pom corner (which I hope to do a tutorial this month for) and a shelf full of stuffed animals.
  • Planning our trip to Toronto! I'm so excited!
  • Working on my new wardrobe. I know it just seems gluttonous and show off-y, but I'd really like to share that in a post soon, you know, the before and after of what is my wardrobe. You'd be amazed at the difference. 
  • Jesse's company is finally building their first house, from start to finish. It's pretty awesome to see them do something like that, they're growing as a business, really fast I might add. So proud of them!
  • Caught up on Breaking Bad. I don't know why the heck we weren't watching this from the beginning, and now I'm sad it's almost over!

I love coming up with new columns for the blog and expanding more on things that I enjoy talking about. I hope to do more 5 Reasons To Follow, Currently Crushing, What She Wore and more new ideas I have roaming around this noggin' of mine. September should be really fun!
