The Simple Life Friday

March 21, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

Happy weekend!! I’m really enjoying my petite, domestic, simple life this week..

1. I’ve decided to break up with dry cleaning for a while. Post to come. There is quite a satisfaction I get from a stack of ironed shirts. 
IMG_4081I wanted to get a little artsy with it.

2. This is me every other day. I go grocery shopping a LOT. I just buy a bag at a time and often I walk!

3. I’m trying to really appreciate this bump and the freedom I have before the baby!Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

4. I got my weekly Japanese Ramen outing and it is still the most consistant craving I’ve had.

5. I am so thankful for my blog friends. I love having a community that goes everywhere with me. Thank you. XO

Linking up with the H54F crowd!

    I’m totally impressed with anyone who can properly iron a shirt as I’m total rubbish at ironing. I also have a slight aversion to it as my mom ironed everything when I was a kid even my pjs O_o Now I just steam my clothes and I also avoid buying things that need ironing. We send my husband’s shirts out to be laundered and pressed and I gladly pay the $1.50 as I just can’t do it lol. It must be nice to admire your handiwork when you’re done 🙂 Happy weekend Christina!!

      Thank you, Rowena! I learned in the Navy when we learned how to iron our own uniforms! lol OMG My mom used to iron my dad’s underwear! AH! I totally avoid buying dry-clean only clothes now too. I’m going to iron his shirts until the baby comes…then…well, we’ll see! 🙂 Have a great weekend too, Rowena!

      Oh, Pamela it’s there! I have a couple and use the EVERY DAY. Seriously spendy (one was a gift from my parents) but cost-per-day makes it so worth it! I am one of those people who buys something good and wears it to death! 🙂 Oh dry cleaning is crazy! Yes, some things just require it though. An old roommate swore by http://www.dryel.com products and she was very particular. Have a great weekend and enjoy those pancakes! Thank you for the link love!

      You know, a lot of his work shirts are wash and dry then iron. BUT I had a roommate who swore by Dryel at home and her clothes always looked impeccable. http://www.dryel.com

the habits.

it becomes automatic.

Dare I say it but I felt old too.
