August is over and now it’s birthday season at our house.
We are in full planning mode for Little Miss.
And it’s GO time for Mr. C.
Plus it’s the beginning of FALL! I LOVE decorating for Fall.
Although I don’t like Halloween. I don’t like being scared.
I just love fall colors.
In fact, I drug out our engagement for 5 months so that I could get married in the fall. But really when you live in AZ, do you really want to be sweating all day in your wedding dress?
Lucky for me, I have a very patient man!
So what were some of my favorite things from August?
#1
Blog Makeover
I was so lucky to win a blog makeover from Melanie
I am so in love with my new blog I can’t stand it!
I hope you love it as much as I do.
#2
My second guest post
Last month I had a second opportunity to do a guest post
I was able to be part of Vanessa’s
Crafting on a Dime series.
Thanks Vanessa!

My first sponsored post
I signed up with Social Spark a little while ago
and in August I was able to do my first sponsored post.
It was for Famous Footwear and my models couldn’t have been
happier to participate!

My first blogger mixer
Down East Basics invited some local bloggers to their store
for a night of fashion on them. We could even bring a “friend”.
I decided to bring my mom since she is my biggest cheerleader!
I met some fun local bloggers and got a little something for myself.
Down East Basics was a great host. The employees were so helpful
and super nice. And they were having a great sale on Down East Basics
Denim and layering tees.
As we waited for dressing rooms, I got to know:
Kendra: My Insanity
Kimberly: Diary of a Brown Eyed Girl
Jodi: Arizona Shopping Secrets
It was so much fun. I can’t wait for the next one.
#5
The Gilbert Temple
We decided to take the kids over to see the new temple in Gilbert.
It was nice to be there with my kids and hubby and reflect on and appreciate
all that my Father in Heaven has blessed me with.
#6
These Two
They crack me up, make me smile, and try my patience.
However, they have been playing better together,
they like to have dance parties and know how to shake their booty,
and finally will hold hands when walking in the “street”

iPhone Apps for Instagram
iPhone Apps for Instagram
I came across this post from Whipperberry and it is awesome!
I learned a whole new world of Instagraming
It’s like scrapbooking for your phone.
It’s like scrapbooking for your phone.

Mr. Sketch Markers
I spotted them at Target in the Back to School section.
They came right home with me.
I loved these markers growing up.
#9
My Food Saver
I just recently got it on line for %50 off!
My mom has had one and finally talked me into getting one.
Funny thing is, I don’t use it for vacuum sealing.
I use it on my bags of salad, chips, pretzels, croutons.
Once I open the bag, I just use the seal part when I’m done.
No more stale chips and my lettuce lasts longer.
My husband asked me “are you really going to use that?”
Now he uses it as much as me!
#10
Pandora
Although I’ve had Pandora on my phone for a long time
I have just recently gotten into putting it on while I’m on the computer.
These are the stations I’m loving this minute:
Mindy Gledhill
Michael Jackson
Disney (children’s) Radio
I hope you learned something new about Lizzie Jane or found a new blog or pandora station that you are dying to check out.
As always thanks for following along with me and letting me be just a small part of your day.
Bring on Fall!
