Grant and I don’t buy ice cream much because if we do we eat it. I was really wanting a peanut butter milk shake but was reminded again that no place can compare to the Swenson’s peanut butter milkshake. Since we aren’t in Ohio, we decided to make our own. I can only thank Grant for his pure genius.
Here are some of the fun updates that we have done around our condo to make it function better for us, and to make me happy…cause I’m crazy and certain things drive me crazy.
We were lucky enough to be able to have my parents come for a visit to Huntsville in the beginning of July. It was a very laid back visit,but we had a lot of fun. We tried one of our favorite restaurants here in Huntsville which is Connor’s Steak House, and my parents stayed at the Westin at Bridge street.
I know Alana isn’t our kid, but Grant and I aren’t very exciting people, and Alana, Kira, and Andrew are! We went to their house in mid July to start prepping for Alana’s first birthday party. I help Kira with the invitations and “moral support” since she is amazing and can somehow do everything. 😉 Anyway, during this visit we ate really yummy pasta that Kira made, and Alana was being a goof ball so I figured we would share these pictures.
This will be a post completely about purses, so if this doesn’t interest you, sorry and please skip reading this! 🙂 I was wanting to find a knock of Celine bag since I can’t afford or justify spending $3,000+ on a purse. It is hard to find reputable companies that sell knock offs. There are places claiming to sell the real thing which is really a knock off but still over priced or it is a scam. I finally found two websites that had lots of reviews from blogger and youtubers. These bags aren’t marketed as knock offs,but look pretty close to the Celine bags. All of the reviews I found online had very dim photos where it was hard to tell what the bags really looked like, and I wanted them compared. So here is my comparison.
I know the title says how to turn suede into smooth leather, but that is technically impossible because the leathers are manufactured differently. Suede is smooth leather that is ruffed up to give it the nap. Where smooth leather is just left as is, but my tutorial will show how to take a pair of suede shoes and make them look like smooth leather. I looked everywhere for a tutorial like this online, and only found people saying it wasn’t possible, or just no results at all. My mom has also done this to a few of her older pairs of shoes as well, and they looked great!
