MIMM – A Bit of Everything

I can’t believe I go back to school in two weeks. Where did the summer go?! I have quite a few marvelous happenings that I want to share, so let’s get started!

Marvelous…Β All of last week was spent at the fair. My cross country team had to clean up after all the concerts so we got in free everyday! I will admit, after a few days I was pretty sick of the fair food. I didn’t think it was possible to get sick of elephant ears!

Marvelous…Β My garden is doingΒ amazing. I have so much produce I don’t know what to do with! I think I’ll do a more detailed post of the garden… coming soon! This is yesterdays haul, and I still have to go back today!

Marvelous…2 new magazines to read πŸ˜€

Marvelous… the little cafe we went to last week! Oh my goodness it wasΒ so cute. And their menu was fantastic! It was hard, but I finally decided on the chicken pesto panini.Β

Marvelous…Β finding my FAVORITE ice cream flavor at the stand. Peanut Butter Mackinac Island Fudge. It’s a rarity to find, so if you do you MUST get it. So. Yummy.

Marvelous…eating another hamburger!

Marvelous…being in a fashion show! I was asked last minute to model some dresses for a local boutique and of course I said yes! It was my first time ever modeling, and it was so much fun!

So that was a bit all over the place but that’s okay! I have so many post ideas but I need to get writing first, lol πŸ˜€ Hope everyone’s Monday was as good as a Monday can be!

    I wish I could grow things! Maybe I’ll try planting a garden in the spring – I love fresh broccoli and cucumber!
    You looked very pretty in the modeling pictures πŸ™‚ The white dress was my favorite one, as far as dresses go πŸ™‚
