{ on my mind + menu }

1. Love Kris Carr's weekly Love List. What a great idea, no? To share what you are loving each week. What's on your love list?

2. I sort of need a LOVE list today....because we've had sort of a broken list lately. First, the brakes on my car needed replacing $600), then I cracked the glass door of the oven ($120), then the washing machine stopped spinning($400), then we broke my dad's chainsaw ($200), then the hot tub died for good and was hauled off to be recycled for parts, then my windshield cracked from a gravel truck spewing rock on the road ($100). Yup, we've had a broken & battered few weeks around here. I guess that's what emergency savings accounts are for. But how fun would it be if there weren't emergencies and they could be used for plane tickets to the beach!?@! ;)

3. Love this {I Love you today because...} free download from Ali Edwards....I printed out a few sheets cut them into strips and we've been filling out a few each day and putting them into a mason jar.

4. Thinking we should get rid of our TV too...

5. I'm trying to savor all of the remaining weeks of summer before Samme returns to school...pool jaunts, road trips, lots of icecream, etc. So I'm going to take a brief hiatus from the blog while I do this. Stay tuned for our camper remodel (wait until you see it!), packing tips, back to school organization tips, new notepad sneak peek (so fun!), the return of the spending hiatus (much needed!) & more...

Dear dear Jenny,

I unfortunately owe you a huge apology. I have had some restrictions on my driving due to eye sight issues (issues are never ending, aren't they?) & I entrusted someone else to send out your package. Unfortunately, it didn't go out as I had planned or was told; something I was unaware of until late last week. Thankfully, my amazing husband took on the responsibility & sent it yesterday.

I am so so very sorry. I am not usually such a flake, but my surgery this past weekend...& everything leading up to it, really set me back quite a bit. I hope you can forgive me.

Have a wonderful day!

Loves & Apologies,

karen~x

Now, about the post....AWESOME!I'm so sorry about all the problems you've been facing. I wish nothing but the best for your emergency savings account. It can only get better from here, right? If you get rid of your tv, I will be sure to tell you who Ali picks...& I will try not to go watch it ever again...I might need to save my brain for other things! You are a great inspiration for that!
