Thrift Store Score: Flowy Skirt

9 / 30 / 148 / 3 / 15

thrift store score


Hello.

This weekend was CRAZY! Phoenix had a huge rain storm, which is a BIG deal to us desert dwellers. Matt and I were at Target when it hit and shoppers were trapped inside the store for a good 30 minutes, all crowded around the entrance watching the parking lot fill up with water. I was feeling pretty lucky that if I had to be trapped somewhere, it was Target. When the rain lulled a bit, everybody ran out to their cars and had to wade through calf-high water. Calf-high, people. THIS IS THE DESERT!

It was magical.

Thrift Store Score: Denim Dress

9 / 24 / 148 / 3 / 15

Hi! I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was definitely too short, but aren’t they always? My aunt and uncle were in town from Page to meet my brother’s baby, so I spent most of Friday and Saturday night visiting with them. We had a big fish fry on Saturday, which meant great food, corn hole playing, and some scorpion hunting. Although I’ve lived in Phoenix for all of my life, I had never seen a scorpion in the “wild” before. My brother took a black light flashlight outside and they GLOWED so bright. We saw about 9 of them in his backyard-WHICH IS TERRIFYING!

And my friends wonder why I hate going outside at night in the summer? Critters everywhere!

a beautiful life


My dad’s parents, Grandma Marge and Grandpa Paul, lived here in Phoenix, on a big lot of land we all referred to as “The Farm.” It was 5 acres of nothing but their house, my Grandpa’s barn, where he was always restoring old cars, and desert for me and my cousins to explore, play cops and robbers, hide and seek, and have great adventures before grandma called us all in for “supper.” Even the house itself was magical. Two stories, that were held together by a spiral metal staircase. The lower level housed a “back room” that was often the focal point of me and my cousin Katherine’s many playdates. We would play with grandma’s old sewing machine, go through her button and coin collections, look at photographs, etc. One of our favorite games was the challenge of sneaking through the house, from the downstairs to the upstairs kitchen to get a gingersnap without anyone ever detecting us. We would crawl on our hands and feet, under tables and Grandma and Grandpa would never catch us. Of course, as I got older, I realize they most certainly had to see us. We were just little kids, not ninjas, but we were never stopped from reaching the cookies. Sometimes, Grandma would walk in the kitchen and act totally surprised to see us as we giggled and giggled, crumbs everywhere.

Life’s Little Luxuries: At-Home Coffee Bar

9 / 14 / 148 / 3 / 15

coffee bar


Oh heeeeyyyyy guys:)

Hope you love coffee as much as I do. If not, you should probably keep browsing for blogs more your speed because Design Squeeze is fully caffeinated at ALL TIMES!

Or you could simply switch it up and create a nice lil tea bar for yourself. If you don’t like tea either then I SERIOUSLY CANNOT HELP YOU!

Now, on to the good stuff. Coffee is one of those things that I cherish dearly in my life. It doesn’t matter what kind or where it’s from. As long as it’s strong and hot, I will down a few cups no problem. I prefer to drink my coffee black in the morning. I’ve never had much of a sweet tooth, so all of those sugary creamers can go away. Plus, I’m pretty sure they are only one molecule away from being plastic. With that said, I don’t mind a splash of almond milk once in a while but probably not til my second cup. Something about black coffee first thing in the morning…
