Building for a Fall Capsule and #OOTD 10
Grey Tank (under kimono) | Kimono Top (similar) | Distressed Jeans | Booties (similar) | Hat
We went to the mall this weekend because Roo’s iPad up and died on her. It wasn’t unexpected seeing she dropped it in the toilet (her fault for bringing it in there, but in her defence Merle kicked open the door and scared the shit out of her so she dropped it). I didn’t realize that they were totally not fixable though until the guy said the battery was completely dead and they can’t replace the battery but would issue us a replacement iPad for $220 since we were out of warranty. Nope, sorry. Continue Reading

Pinterest and Packing Lists
On one of my mommy boards there was a post of the ten most Sanctimonious mother Facebook posts (I believe compiled from the Sanctimommy Facebook page). The comments after it were a hilarious competition of everyone trying to outdo each other in a mocking sanctimonious way. Apparently many women’s children cry diamonds and shit rainbows. I was like, “I have you all beat. My daughter literally shit diamonds once.” Story in a nutshell: Tom was a goldsmith. His mom watched Roo at their work when she was little and I was also working. She got in to an area she shouldn’t have and ate diamond chips. The rest is left to your imagination. True story.
According to Pinterest people seem to like my packing lists I make. They also like my Capsule Wardrobe but I have only done one of those so you can’t really compare the numbers between the two. I’m glad that people like them and come over to see what other ones I have because I really enjoy making them. I think it gives me a kind of creative outlet for someone who doesn’t have a lot of hobbies, pastimes, creative pursuits, what-have-you. I have no musical talent, acting ability, or artistic talents. I can draw okay, but only if I am copying something. Tell me to draw from my imagination and you will end up with a blank page. Continue Reading
Union Jack Chairs and Minecraft
1. Tom sent me a text from work today. The small town they are filming in has an antique store that he said I would love and this chair is out in front. He said they hand painted it and I wish I was that talented enough to pull it off. This chair is amazing and when he said it wasn’t for sale I was disappointed. Roo would die if we got this because her everything UK obsession would be on overload. Wouldn’t this look amazing in a living room? Even if it was just a show piece and no one could ever, ever sit in it in fear of ruining the amazing paint job.
The Burden of Eating Healthy & Outfit of the Day 9
Good lord the humidity kills me. I would rather have stayed home today but we were running out of something that is not good to run out of 😉 so there wasn’t much choice in the matter. The girls didn’t want to leave either and were being so slow and pokey that I wished they were old enough to stay at home. Especially since anytime we go and run errands together it usually takes no less than 2 hours when I have to bring them. I am so much more efficient on my own. Continue Reading
