i remember...

This is just a short post about things that i remember.

I remember when...

- i could cut watermelon however i wanted.

- birthday parties had cone hats, a couple streamers and a "the party is here" sign on the front door, that's it.

- my food could be photographed unstyled.

- a duck face, was just a ducks face.

- pictures of people included their heads too.

- lunches were brown bags with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

- Pinterest didn't exist.

the end. :)
those were the good ol' days. 

saturday recap

I'm sitting here swigging some water out of the super cool cup, i just threw on some balance doterra oils and enjoying the quietness of this 8 o'clock hour. 

I've survived some of the craziest weeks of my life, so far. 

Super Saturday was this past saturday the 6th

i have never been more excited for something to be over with in my life!! 

I was feeling a little bit of this...

and this....

and that...

and that night i wanted to party like it was the year 2000

but i was pretty much this, for the rest of the day.

it was so much fun to plan and get everything ready and have everyone there hanging out and crafting their little hearts out, but holy smokes was i tired.

It was amazing the things i was able to start focusing on and think about after everything was over. Chris is really excited to have me back and it feels good to have me back too.

Cheers to a successful super saturday craft day and double cheers to it being over. 

Drinks all around.

MY TOP 10

THINGS I USE TO SCRATCH MY BACK

WHEN I CAN'T REACH

you guys this is my first world problem. sometimes my back just itches so bad its madness!

these things i have found to be highly effective and thought i'd share my amazing knowledge from my advanced scientific research. 

1. fork-i think this is a given. just remember: don't put it back in the drawer.

2. butter knife- especially the ones that have really good teeth on them. moved side to side, not a sawing killer slasher move. no thanks. 

3. pair of scissors- this one can be tricky but works wonders

4. screwdriver- i prefer the phillips head variety for this task, but im flexible.

5. brush- but don't use it if its got tons of hair still in it, kind of defeats the purpose and causes more itchiness. trust me on that one. 

6. comb- same idea as the butter knife, but be careful of combs purchased from the dollar store, holy smokes some of those are like razor blades!

7. pencil or pen- i prefer a pen with a cap, the little clippy thing on it works pretty good. beware of using a newly sharpened pencil those tips can be temperamental and break and get stuck in your skin. ouchies

8. long nail file- just don't use it for too long, it'll file the skin right off your back. 

9. barbie- if you get the hands positioned in just the right spot. perfection

10. clothes hanger- these can be awkward and sometimes difficult to use, but when you are in a time of turmoil, they can be just what you need. 

That my friends is my expert, tried and tested, list of the top 10 things to use when you have an itch you can't scratch. 

Happy scratching! 

Please, feel free to share my wisdom with those who may be suffering.
