Picnic...

I am craving a little picnic in my backyard this weekend with my luvs...

I think we will throw down a giant blanket...
bring out our pretty plates and napkins...
{...I have an obsession with pretty napkins...}

sit down and munch on some great food...
{thinking grilled bread...fresh cheese...thinly sliced apple...little piles of spicy sopressata...fresh Summer tomatoes with a drizzle of balsamic...a little olive oil...
and a good bottle of wine...yummm}

enjoy the sounds of Summer...
and
being together...

Happy Friday everyone...

Super Safe...

I was driving the other day and hear E playing with seatbelts in the back...
so I turn around and see him with all 3 seatbelts wrapped around him!
I started laughing
and he says "Now, I am SUPER safe"!

hahahahaha!
kids!

For ladies only...(just a warning!)

What is it about your *ahem*...excuse me...period!
that can make you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CRAZY???
Seriously...


I used to be so proud of the fact that my personality never changed month to month!
{at least I thought so...}...
but in the last year, I am a FREAK the day or two before!

I literally cried listening to the Bare Naked Ladies song "If I had a Million Dollars" this morning..
WHO.DOES.THAT.?
No, really...
WHO.DOES.THAT?

Yesterday, it all began when I had to explain myself to the 1-800-Hansons man at the fair WHY I didn't want him to come to my house and give me an estimate on NEW SIDING!
Craig said..."you don't have to explain yourself...just say Not Interested"...
WHAT?  You don't understand anything.
I can't say that.
He doesn't get me...

Then...I was so mad {and sad} that the dogs ate Ethan's ball and I had to pick up a zillion
pieces out of the grass...{cause that makes total sense to be sad about this, right?...RIGHT?}
and
about lost it when I noticed how many weeds were growing through our deck...
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO ME???
and how the lawn really needed to be mowed!
WHY ISN'T THE LAWN MOWED????

WHY are my baseboards so dirty???????????????
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
My house is a pig sty!!!!!

How come we have SOOOO many bills????

I literally had to go into my bedroom and read a book just to remove myself from any additional situation setting me off!
Which led to sitting on the floor trying to find inner peace...
but, all I heard was my husband and son cheering on the Tigers...
and Ethan randomly calling out "MOM" just to make sure I was still there!

Just to let you know...
no.inner.peace.was found last night.

Today I seem to be fine.
No really I am...
so far.

Just Browsing...

So...
we cut up our credit cards a while back so we could get a movin and pay those
suckers off!...
which is great.
but.
I CAN'T BUY ANYTHING!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

I am desperate to pretty up my home!

So...
in the meantime...
I will just look at beautiful pictures of spaces I love!
hahaha!

Food Truck Fun...

Last weekend my hubby and I took E and his cousins to Fabulous Ferndale to visit the
Food Truck street fair!
If you know me, I have Food Network on CONSTANTLY...
it's actually pretty ridiculous.

Anyhoo...
Craig noticed that some food trucks were coming into town so naturally we jumped on the chance to try the food out!
So, we piled everyone in the car and headed out for some Saturday fun!

They had a little craft table for the kids where they made magic wands...ate ice cream...sampled some kiddo tacos...and Fin got his arm painted!

The Detroit Derby Girls were there working the Beer station and of course we had to support them!...
so we got a couple local beers while the kiddos ate ice cream!

Craig and I sampled a couple trucks out...Perogies (delish!)...and a couple mexican food trucks called El Guapo and Taco Mama Detroit where we shared a korean beef taco with spicy sweet slaw...and a shrimp enchiladia.

It was a wonderful way to try some new foods...and have the kids experience a local food festival!










There were an awful lot of cops for this really laid back event!
