Some Thoughts


Print by Caisee Montgomery of Maddox + Klaus

1. Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4. Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
5. Eat a live toad in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.
6. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
7. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
8. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
9. Never buy a car you can’t push.
10. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don’t have a leg to stand on.
11. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
12. The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
13. The Second mouse gets the cheese
14. When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
15. Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live.
16. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
17. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
18. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
19. We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
20. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
21. Happiness comes through doors you didn’t even know you left open.

Sarah Jessica Parker probably has the greatest shoe collection on the planet. Right?

But why does it look like death is grabbing at her feet? Like a lightening storm is coming from her ankles?

Tabula Rasa

Photobucket

I wished my Spring wardrobe looked this good. Time to re-vamp. It's time I tried a little harder don't you think?

Too bad Tabula Rasa is located in Canada.

Muffin Madness

Photobucket

Applesauce Spice Cake Muffins from Joyful Abode. These were really good and easy to make. They would taste perfect during the Fall because of the spice in this cake.

Banana Muffin using Whipped's recipe.

I forgot that muffins cooked faster and I left these in for a little too long. Luckily this recipe makes the moistest bread so they weren't dry at all. Awesome save.


Photobucket

Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffin using Baked Perfection's recipe. These ones were gone in 20 minutes.

Isn't my grandma the cutest? She's modeling her new trench coat. This is her model pose. So fierce.

Apparently a love for photoshoots run in the family. Here are my parents. Who are sometimes equally as cute.

Sunday Scenes

Happy First Day of Summer! I changed my layout a little bit to celebrate Summer! The grey was feeling drab. Time to move on to sunshine and happy times right?

I made these tortilla chips with some leftover whole wheat tortillas. I used Leslie Sarna's quick recipe.

I made these with my mom. It took more work and time than I thought but they came out really good.
