Fabric: Gray Jersey Knit from The Loft (Micheal Lavine’s Upstairs) Pattern: similar and similar Last first day of school… until we’re both officially graduated at least! Then I get to take classes for “fun”. Who does that? With Dallas having staff benefits, it would be dumb of me not to take classes for really cheap. Last week, Dallas was so … Continue reading “DIY Dress”
I am grateful for weeks after Dallas’ busy work weeks, when he gets to come home and doesn’t have to work all night. Last week he was helping a lot with orientation set ups and worked some really long days. One day he came home after I had gone to bed, and left before I had to wake up. Dallas … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Since I’m so tall, there was no way I was going to find fabric wide enough for me to cut the whole circle at once (you shorter people – be grateful). Unless I want a circle mini skirt, but I don’t think anyone wants that. I definitely underestimated how much fabric it would take when I started this project…(3.5 yards). … Continue reading “DIY Midi Circle Skirt for Tall Women”
I am like 110% grateful for peaches being on sale, but I have something else that I have been very grateful for lately. I have a calendar in our room that Dallas’ mom gave us last Christmas, and I always forgot to change the month. So last week I finally changed it, and the picture for August is a big … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Last week was our first week planning out all of our meals, and I gotta be honest, I had to be brave and go to the store by myself. With all of the new things I had to buy, I basically had to coach myself through it. Not kidding. I stayed far away from planning weekly meals for a long … Continue reading “5 Lessons Learned From Planning Weekly Meals”
This past week I have been really grateful for the internet. Let me explain. Since we’ve been married our diet has consisted of tortillas, chicken, black beans, tomatoes…basically, we ate Mexican food in different forms (which is all Mexican food is, right?). Oh, and ice cream. For the past few months, though, I have had the hardest time eating. I … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Today I am grateful for a handy husband. Today alone, he has fixed the car and my cookie baller! I am so proud of him and the skills he is always learning at work and on his own. His drive to be so productive has definitely had an impact on me for the better. Last week we spent about $300 … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Believe it or not, my first attempt at this shirt was a miserable failure. So after crying a lot, taking a break for a few days, and a weekend in St. George, I was ready to try again. Thankfully, I had enough fabric left over to try one more time. As you can tell, the second attempt turned out much … Continue reading “DIY Striped T-Shirt”
I’m going with the better late than never excuse again… Today I am grateful for talents and ambitions. I’m also grateful for a husband who encourages and pushes me to become better at the things I want to be better at. Yesterday I was talking to my coworkers and we got on the subject of Netflix. I told them I … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
