The Month by iPhone :: July 2014

you know how people tell parents that the days are long but the years are short? I think that goes for everyone. between camp and the motel, it was another whirlwind month, but I was able to sneak in a couple trips up north and a few trips to Target (;

the perfect way to start off July? with an ice cream cone cookie from one of our campers who had just had a birthday!

is it just me, or do these clouds look like they have zebra stripes?

the big slide at Quietwoods South (:

{the saturation got a little messed up on this one, because our walls aren't lime green, they're more pistachio green} some of our guests were here for their anniversary, and he asked to have rose petals on the bed, so one of my co-workers did this for them!

Whitefish Bay Dunes State Park - I kept taking pictures of how pretty the skyline looked, but I'll spare you the rest (: there were so many seagulls out, and the tide was very high that day.

the historic village at Crossroads. I remember coming here a couple times in high school with the photography class {that I wasn't in, but I had excused study hall to the art room that block to work on Yearbook}, and I really want to come back here when they're open to take some pictures.

walking the trails at Crossroads.

isn't this adorable? we have this calendar from Disc Makers at the front desk at work, but it's off to the side and doesn't really get looked at a lot because we have another calendar by the computer. there are some really cute and funny illustrations in here, but two of the months are missing, which is pretty strange.

camp prep. for one of our centers, we let the kids color these animal hand puppets. that's not a pig, it's a dog... one of the little girls started crying because "I just really love cats," and the two cats had already been taken. I couldn't help but to think of that video of the lady who really likes cats {watch it here if you don't know/remember what I mean}

please also note that with the pack of hand puppets there was one red and three orange markers...

newest tattoo (: lion because I'm a Leo! {it was just temporary}

counting bears in the sensory table!

I felt so terrible about using these stamps!

clouds, clouds, neon.

Beetle friends (:

cherry orchard! because in Door County, the trees grow in rows.

art week at camp. this was someone's palette.

some like it hot... others are out of luck.

skeletal cartwheel.

I find it easier to do filing on the floor.

two Target trips in one day? it happens.

we took the campers for a cruise on the fire boat. while we were eating our snack before getting on the boat, we had to watch the bridge go up to let some yachts and sailboats through.

where the canal of Sturgeon Bay meets up with Green Bay. sky and water for nearly as far as you can see.

of course, we also got to watch the bridge going up from under the bridge!

zen bus! and a Luna reflection.

wildflowers in a mason jar from one of the musicians (:

The Month by iPhone :: May 2014

May brought a few changes, the biggest of which was moving into my own apartment! I crossed two items off of my Twenty While Twenty list this month, and one item off of my summer bucket list! (:

May Day. Pretty skies in the morning before sprinkles in the afternoon.

The first thing I unpacked at my new apartment was magnets for the fridge!

{Instagram magnets from Social Print Studio}

Moving with a Volkswagen Beetle took a few trips, and I burned a lot of calories with all of the stairs that I did that day. There were also lots of heavy things lifted. Good thing I stretched my muscles with a KinderCubs class that morning!

Kitchen, day two. Pictures on the fridge, Audrey Hepburn calendar on the wall, KitchenAid on the counter instead of hiding in the basement...

little walk by the water.

red awnings and my favorite sky.

another pretty sky and some hot chocolate on the balcony.

temporary resting place for a few things. I have to figure out how and where to hang my Geri X drawing!

cigar box bass!!

my first piece of mail at the new apartment came from the lovely Kim Manning! sorry about the address, Kim! (:

 waiting to be hung: Delaney Davidson signed poster, sunrise photo by my dad, painting by my aunt

time for Wee Read & Wiggle! this was a farm-themed day.

 new bed, new sheets {bedding from Target's "children's" section // IKEA sheepskin rug}

I love the brick walls downtown.

I certainly wish that I could afford some of this beautiful vintage Simmons furniture. I guess first I would have to know where to find pieces in such great condition!

I love when people leave funny messages on the fridges at the motel. (:

sweet thank you for a birthday present (:

Converse / American Eagle Skinny Jeans / Gap colorblock belt / Mossimo Supply Co. cardigan / Mossimo Supply Co. v-neck pocket tee

 Nikon girl with a Canon printer... this will be interesting.

Vee needed a bandaid, so I gave him a Cinderella one!

the tulips opened up!

my uncle always has interesting mugs

another similar outfit: Mossimo Supply Co. v-neck pocket tee // Gap colorblock leather belt // American Eagle Favorite Boyfriend jeans // Converse // Forever 21 colorblock cardigan

 it finally warmed up, so I had to take a screenshot to document that!

this was taken right after the screenshot. it was so beautiful outside!

I had been wanting this skeleton key doormat from Target, and there was a coupon on Cartwheel, so I finally got it!

I had to take a picture of my Converse (which have been hanging out in my closet for a few months) before they got beat up.

I picked up the last of my stuff from the house. I really miss having a garage to park in, and I know I will be really missing it this winter.

another tulip (: the other ones shriveled up and died :(

I got another set of magnets from Social Print Studio! I love their products, and their shipping is super fast! I ordered these on Wednesday and they were on my fridge on Saturday!

our bulletin board at work (:

I went to the grocery store after work, and I thought that it was really funny that the potatoes were covered with blankets. I guess they had a long day and were pretty tired (;

favorite Dr. Seuss quote! {from Happy Birthday to You!}

ham & pineapple pizza at Wild Tomato in Fish Creek

goats on the roof at Al Johnson's in Sister Bay

I thought that the chairs at the Door County Visitor Bureau were picturesque.

Honeycrisp apple chips from Wood Orchard Market!

YMCA mornings...

sunset view from my balcony. it was actually more purple than this shows.

I went and got my second tattoo on the twenty-ninth. that raven means a lot to me. that's a freckle, not blood, I promise!

my order from Sevenly came in the mail, and this little card went right on my fridge. the shirt that I bought was to support To Write Love on Her Arms, and it's a navy v-neck tee wit that Beauty design.

xoxo.
