Hippie Chick


It's too hot to think today.  

There was a music festival by the lake this weekend complete with organic food vendors and face painting.  What did you do?

Is it just me?






Or do you also enjoy getting the new IKEA catalog?  Better this year than last, no?

Let's Roll Another....table

I am loving this rolling table from West Elm.  Look you can just roll the food right up to your mouth and shovel it in.  It is on sale for $139.  I actually love this whole set-up.




I am laying the pavers for the patio this weekend.  And by I, I mean the mister.  I will be frolicking with my four favorite kids.  And by frolicking, I mean, getting popsicles, getting drinks, finding toys, breaking up arguments, and feeding meals.



The pavers  are 16 x 16 and will have grass or moss or some sort of perennial green stuff growing between them.  We recycled them from the old patio where they laid with an ugly brick pattern stamped on them side by side.  By flipping them over, spreading them out, and planting something between them I hope to achieve a look like this or this.



So with the pavers having grass between them, I am thinking the rolling table will not work.  No matter, I mentioned before, the budget for this phase is tapped.  We will be painting the old adirondacks and picnic table for now.

This looks about right


I need these chairs.  And a lake to put them by.  And a cool breeze.  And a cold drink.  And Wheat Thins.  That's all.

It's August Already





I can't spend this kind of cash on my kid, but maybe you can. You can also find tons of kids clothes on eBay. Put in the brand and size you want and see what happens. I've had really good luck.
