What did you pin this week?

Thrift store high.

I love buying cute clothes.

But I have a few issues.

1. I have somewhat expensive taste.

2. We're poor law school students who are trying to get by.

My remedy for this?

It works for me.

Possibly for you?

I love thrift store shopping. (in addition to yard sales, craigslist, etc.)

I get natural highs from finding amazing, good deals.

For me, my girls, and my home.

I don't buy everything from the thrift store, but a lot.

Here are a few items I found at my nearest Salvation Army a few weeks back.

:: cute nightgown for Ava - - practically perfect condition

:: Old Navy skirt - - Ava will fit in it next year

:: woman's skirt - - plan on making it into a top for Ava

:: 5T top, but plan to make it into a skirt for Ava

:: down jacket for me - - like new condition

:: silky pj pants for Ava - - like new condition

What great deals have you found?

I just might be crazy.

The hubby and I just signed up for this.

I'm excited, nervous, and already tired just thinking about it.

Time to start training . . . hardcore.

Did I mention that I've never run in any

type of timed race before . . . let alone

with muddy obstacle courses.

What have I done?

And because I dislike posts without pictures,

here's a cute one of little Reese.

Happy Thursday!

:: embrace the camera 07.14.11

Embracing the camera photo booth style.

We recently bought a Mac and this is the reason Ava loves it.

She. Loves. It.

If we're out of the room, she'll jump on it.

Even though we do have rules.

She needs to ask first.

But sometimes she likes to overlook that minor detail.

So here, we are. Just the three of us.

Before the hubby came home.

Reese has learned how to give kisses.

So cute, but so slobbery (and of course with an open mouth).

Oh, and Reese loves to pull Ava's hair.

Ava's not a fan.

For your enjoyment . . .

When she's older {like 21}, if she ever gets a facebook account, she's totally

gonna be one of those girls that changes their profile

pic every day.

No doubt.
