What to do in the summer time?

Well, school is out for the summer, this is my short break before the final (and busiest) haul to graduation with my BS in psychology. Can I just say that I can NOT wait until I finish?! I am seriously going to have the biggest rockin grad party of the century. (In reality I will probably party with Bridger and my husband while watching a Disney movie with some popcorn, that's a pretty rockin party huh? ;) ).

Anyway, I'm bored. I'm always so focused on school that I don't have time to think about anything else besides Jeremy and Bridger, but now...I have T.I.M.E. Oh my heavens. What do I do now? (without feeling like a lazy butt, that's how I felt last week). I have really been wanting to learn "craftiness" since Jeremy bought me a sewing machine for Christmas. I found some great ideas this morning. But I must say that I'm scared cause whenever I try stuff like this it doesn't seem to turn out just right. I need to get over this little perfectionist thing goin on, I won't even try to make mashed potatoes anymore becuase the last two times they didn't turn out right and I got mad and I don't want to mess them up again...this has happened with french bread and some dinners as well as with sewing and some other things. I am taking care of this once and for all! Well, here are my ideas...I want to make a wwwaaayyyy cute apron that is way girlie *I love girlie stuff*, I am going to make pee pee tee pees for Bridger and his cousin Calum and maybe a few extra for baby shower gifts...I don't really want to get peed on anymore. :) I got the idea from here. This blog I found is awesome and has great ideas that seem pretty simple and have tutorials, and I found an idea for binkie clips from the same blog which you can see here, they look easy peasy. I'm also going to make a chalkboard dinner menu for my kitchen found here and...some other things that I haven't found yet! Now I just have to figure out where the money is going to come from to buy all the supplies...? I also want to learn how to shop with coupons. Any tips? I have til August to get all this good stuff done and learned, I'm feeling pretty ambitious, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. ha ha. ;) Oh, that reminds me! I found the cutest idea for father's day which I found on this awesome site. :) I really want to do it, it looks so cute. If anyone has any other ideas...let me know!!

  1. hasn't mom taught you the coupon shopping yet? Ask her, or next time you're down, I'll tell you.

  2. No! no one has ever taught me, which is sad. We will have to have a coupon learning session in a few weeks, it is necessary! :)

  3. Jarom and I have been trying to learn. I took a class about a month ago and have been trying to figure it out...it can be so frustrating at first! I spent hours finding my first coupons I wanted to use, cutting them out, finding more coupons online, and then I headed out, and every single thing I went to buy was entirely sold out...I was irritated. All that for nothing!
