{A Beautiful Day}

 Remember I told you I would be back with more pics? 

I took these pictures when we were on our way to Montana and stopped off for the night in Medora to spend the night. {I know, I haven't been posting totally in order but I had to share these ones since they turned out so fun.}

Medora is a fun little tourist town we go to every summer for a musical and other fun country activities.  This time we stopped there just for the night to camp.

We camped in a fun little campground called Sully Creek Park.  The fun part was that we were one of the two campers that were there that night.  Ha!!  SO much fun to be in the middle of nowhere and have the campground pretty much to ourselves.

Ally and Whitney had a blast running around and dancing and playing with their toys out in the middle of no where.  Mind you, we LIVE in the middle of no where but it's still fun to go somewhere different for a change.

AND we were on our way to Montana so it was even more fun!!

Here is the mountain/bluff we camped under.

Beautiful clouds we saw on the drive

The girls dancing away together!

Ah, I almost tipped over!

One of THOSE days..

Ever had one of THOSE days?  OR weeks...

Or times in your life when you just feel all messed up and out of sorts?

And you just wanna say..

Can I be DONE? 

{but you can't}

Lately it just seems like I can't get anything right.  

I feel lonely, tired and completely undone.

I just can't seem to please anyone even though I try with all of my energy.

My house is messy.  My kids are crabby.  

And life is just plain crazy.

And the harder I try, the worse it gets.

Maybe I'm trying too hard?  

And being too honest.  {As soon as I hit the publish button I will probably regret sharing}

But I figure others may be having days like this too?  

I know it will pass but...can I just scream and let it out?  

There I feel a LITTLE better.  Anyone wanna scream with me?

Trendy Tuesday #10

Welcome Back to Trendy Tuesday!

We were having such a fun time in Montana with my family that I decided not to do last week's party.  There's just nothing like spending time with family and just relaxing at home. 

I just posted some pictures so you can see some of what we did there.

Then we came back to my house and still had a ton of company for awhile.  It's been busy but a lot of fun.  Now things will be back to normal but kinda lonely.

What have all of you been up to these past few weeks?

Love these linkups from last time and just had to share them.

1.  Painted Mirrors and Frames from Petticoat Junktion

2.  Vintage Button Calender from Northern Cottage

3.  Entry Closet Makeover from Woven Home

A Little {Lot} Bit of Fun

We have been having SO much fun around these parts the past few weeks.

Spending time with family has been the BEST!!  I always LOVE going back to Montana, seeing the mountains, being with my family, and just chillin' and exploring around my old home.

Hope you enjoy these pictures and there will be many more to come in the next few weeks!

Washi Taped Buckets

I love washi tape so much...it has SO many uses!

And it's super easy to use too.  And I LOVE that there are so many washi patterns.

One of my NEW favorite storage solutions is to use buckets to put my things into.  They are fun, pretty and very practical.

And so I thought I'd dress up some of my buckets with some cute washi tape I got from one of my very favorite online stores, Somerset Place.  They have all sorts of fun tapes and papers.  I just can't get enough of their stuff!

Here's my buckets, all washied up!  Now I am using them to store {you guessed it} washi tape, and baker's twine.

All I did was washi tape the whole bucket, then I used mod podge to seal it, and put some cute little chalk labels on.  Love them!

Would LOVE to see what washi taped projects YOU have been doing lately!
