Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.

I just loved this little lemonade stand and just had to have it! I used frosted lace stickles on the lemonade pitcher. It is hard to see in this picture, but it adds just the perfect amount of "bling" in real life.
