Out of Milk!

If you have read any parts of this blog, I am sure it did not take you long to figure out that we girls are always in pursuit of getting organized. Not sure what that's all about - calmness, sense of order, control issues... Who knows, but it is what it is. And I must say, it makes me happy to feel some part of my life is put together. At least for a short time.


Anyway .. the good stuff.  A while back my friend (apparently I attract others with similar qualities) shared a fun app with me for my smart phone.  Out of Milk.  For those of you like me, I have had my smart phone for a little over a year and I am certain I under utilize it.  So needless to say it took me a little while to start using the app (and must admit I still am only using a very small portion of it).

This app is great!  I love it - well worth the money.  Site says $1.99 today, but I may have paid $4.99.  You can use it obviously on your phone, but also on your computer, which I think is a really nice feature.



Today though I wanted to play around with the Pantry List part of the app - it helps you keep track of what you have in your pantry and how much.  Great right!  Well unless you have to sit and manually enter each item. NO! It has a scan that let's you use your phone to scan the barcode, look up the item, and then you simply add the quantity.


I just tackled my spice rack today and spent about 15 minutes scanning the draw. 



I am still learning how to use it, but it is just so darn cool I had to share.

Just Add Water

Summer fun for us almost always involves water and what better place to enjoy water than Lake Powell on a houseboat.  It's hot, but the water is cool and the mountains are beautiful.  Add family and friends, some jet skis, a fast boat (to cover the enormous lake), several decks of cards, SUNSCREEN, and you've got all the ingredients for some serious fun!

Sisters

Happy, happy Birthday to You!

Today is my sweet sister's birthday.  
We are separated by many miles, 
so on days like this I cannot help but reflect on all the wonderful 
and not so wonderful things we have been able to share 
with one another over the years.

To me my sister is:
Amazingly Stronger Than she Thinks
Truly Beautiful
KIND
Courageous
crazy Talented
&
My Best Friend!



I love you!

Letter Press

Today, while in search of ideas for a graduation party,
I came across the most lovely site. 

I had to share it.

My sister and I love paper and type setting.
I will play around with fonts for hours
(until I finally am to exhausted to continue the craziness). 

Trying to find the right invitation is, well, really important.  

After all, it is the first impression people get.
Everything else just follows suit!

Now I know a lot of you are thinking, 
"Oh my gosh - is this woman for real!"
YES - I am.
But then again, I am a crazy detail oriented person.  
And, I do love color, fonts, and pretty paper -
put them together to make a beautiful invitation... 
well let's just say I feel complete JOY.
