apron? yo necessito

SECRET:

sometimes, i can be domestic.

it's true.

look at what i made today!

i don't bake very often, but oh boy do i like it when i do.

i got this recipe for smores stuffed brownies from picky palate

they look a little freaky when they're done, but they are delicious, gooey goodness.

nom noms!!

i also made these cowboy cookies, from everybodylikessandwiches.com

(i left out some of the nuts and stuff that i didn't want)

i highly recommend!

some day i will bake my kiddies lots of treats so they will like me. and my hubs will have a satisfied sweet tooth. and all the neighborhood kids will be like, "ava and sawyer's* mommy makes the best treats." and i'll be a milfm (mother i'd like to feed me). i crack myself up.

i think about weird things.

*possible future baby names? don't steal.

i can't express myself...

LIFELIFELIFELIFELIFE!

madewell

madewell is jcrew's little sister shop. and they are fabulous.

i'm aching for these jean shorts.

and these sweatshorts would be perfect to live in all summer.

and i've fallen pretty hard for this silky shirt.

i'm a sucker for all these simple, airy, styles.

chippy

this is me today

(i had my wisdom teeth removed about eight hours ago)

to make myself feel better, i purchased this pretty little thing off etsy.

i want some real food, and cotton out of my mouth.

i guess i told my mom that i saw a shark while i was in surgery. i probably did. there are a lot of them roaming around gilbert this time of year.

all the things she said running through my head

life is so good!

i bought my mom's car. i'm really enjoying work. i've got a new.. friend!

pretzel m&m's are the best things ever. but they're gonna be the death of me.

:D

that's me

(except not a pineapple)

i strap shoes on my feet dedededede

so far, this summer has been AWESOME.

i get to hang out with my best friend all the time

i get to see lots of my other friends

and make some reaaally cool new ones

i get to see my family

i get to go to QT approximately five times a day

i get to lay out by my pool whenever i want

i get to have a job that makes me smell good

where's the flaw?

oh wait. there's not one.

still lou lou mae

fourteen years old, runnin through a briar patch

right now i'm having pretty strong feelings for the countryside.

i ache for the freshness in the air, and the smell of wet dirt after rain.

the breeze, and the feeling of freedom that comes from that place.

it makes me think of my family's old cabin in show low.

with all the land to ride the four-wheelers on, and our tree house that we used as a paintball fort. we'd ride horses. we had hammocks, and a family pinewood derby. there was a beautiful, old barn.

there was always a sense of infinity on the horizon. like i could run forever through the trees and never have to stop.

i hope for a place like this in my future.

well hellooo!

oh sawyer.

you are so manly, and so muscle-y. i like your southern accent. and your eyes. and your hair. and your scruff. i like when you wear glasses. and even though you have a bad attitude sometimes, you're hot.

oh jack.

i like you. you are a doctor. and you are the leader. i like it when you get all intense. and i especially like you this season. you have really come into your own, doctor shephard. and i like your tattoos. and even though you used to hit the bottle pretty hard, you are a real man now, and you are hot.

remember how i should have been evangeline lily?

like a feather

hey guys guess what. i'm okay. in fact, i am much better than okay.

i am great!

things in arizona are finally falling into place.

i love being able to hang out with my bestfriend alllll the time.

i lucked out BIG TIME and got a job within a week of searching, at bath & bodyworks!

aaand i've been listening to lots of country music this week... :)
