Alt Summit Recap: My thoughts, experience, and how I left feeling surprised

So last week, I bid farewell to my family, and embarked on a journey and an experience where I was surrounded by hundreds of creative entrepreneurs and bloggers who I got to mingle with.  My experience is called Alt Summit.

Amelia and a Freshly Picked Moccasin Giveaway

Amelia turns two in a couple weeks and I can't believe she's so grown up.  This little girl has grown up to be a brave, sweet, funny, silly, friendly, and vivacious little girl.  Sometimes I can't stop just staring at her where I get to enjoy her little expressions, the mumble jumble of words she says, and how she interacts with the things around her.     

For the longest time I've really wanted a pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins.  It's one of those things you wish your Mom, a friend, or your rich Aunt would buy you a pair for a birthday or Christmas gift.  Well, I waited and waited and never got a pair.  I know, I should of have saved my money and bought a pair, but sometimes buying food and paying the bills comes first, you know?  

Well, I'm happy to say I finally got a pair.  Thanks to Freshly Picked, of course!  When I got these in the mail, it was an experience.  The cute little muslin bag, the scent of fresh leather, and loved how soft they are to the touch.  Because I loved them so much, I had a hard time having her wear them because I didn't want her to get them dirty or scuffed!

I realize that they're shoes and they're made to be worn.  So I thought it be fun to do a mini photo shoot of Amelia in her cute Neon Pink Moccs.

DIY Instax Wall Art

 

For my birthday last March, Sam got me a Mini Instax Camera, and since then we've enjoyed going on small and large adventures to use it. I'm sure that if you've ever played around with any type of instant camera, you know that it can be a blast.

4 Steps to Perfect and Beautiful Summer Legs from a Pale Girl

I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of the social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

Summer is here and I'm all about showing more of my summer legs!  BUT, there's one thing that I find really important about my legs and that is taking care of them.  Now I try to be as low maintenance as I can be, but there are a few things I'm not low maintenance about and one of those things is my skin.

Summer Front and Back Porch Makeover

Summer is one of my favorite times of the year, but it also is one of the busiest.  There's a lot more daylight so I try to jam pack a lot more activities, swimming, playdates, projects, and to do's on my list.  Most nights after dinner has been made, cleaned up, the kido is bathed and put down for bed, I'm exhausted.  The perfect way to enjoy the rest of the evening is go outside and enjoy the warm summer night, a cool drink in hand, and talking to my husband about what happened in our day and catching up.  My front and back porch has been neglected since Christmas.  I wanted these two areas to be relaxing, enjoyable, comfortable, and bright.

Be.You.Tiful Link Party #24

Paleo Guacamole Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps with Crumbled Bacon

Whenever we have guests over for dinner I try not to make elaborate three course dinners, ain't nobody got time for that!  A lot of times we just have dinner and dessert and the thought of having to think about making an appetizer gives me a headache.

A couple weeks ago we had my brother in-law come spend the weekend with us.  To make his stay a little special I thought I'd make a delicious dinner in his honor and yes, I decided to make an appetizer.
