Tattoo Deed: Day 14

My little brother, Max, is obsessed with the cartoon Phineas and Ferb...and honestly, I'm kinda right there with him. As far as kid shows go these days, I am not impressed. However, I make a few exceptions.  One day when I was babysitting the little munchkin, we literally sat on the couch from the time we woke up until we went to sleep, watching a Phineas and Ferb marathon and eating junk food. (Note: it was really poor weather outside, and sometimes I'm lazy).  Now, whenever I come home he always wants to watch an episode or 10 on Netflix with me.  I had to run to the store earlier today and came across a 50 pack of Phineas and Ferb tattoos. I had to get them for him. And then of course tat him up, and let him do the same to me. Inevitably, I ended up with a cartoon sleeve and he ended up with face tats...he's kind of a badass.

Errand Deed: Day 13

Yesterday my mom took quite the spill on her bicycle, and ended up hurting her leg really bad. After playing Nurse Danielle, and sitting on her hands while I butterfly bandaged her up, she was having a really hard time getting around without being in pain.  So, this morning I got up bright and early (and that means around 11am) and ran some errands for her, that she had planned for the day.  She wrote me out a list and I was on my way.  Good deed for my favorite person.

Laundry Soap Deed: Day 11

To hear my boyfriend talk about his mom may be one of the most endearing things about him (however, there are a lot).  I haven't had the opportunity to meet her yet, unfortunately, but I have talked to her and she seems like such a sweet lady.  Justin often refers to her as "the greatest woman to ever live" adding in that I can find all of this info on wikipedia.  So, I've been in this laundry soap, sachet and crafting groove at home with my mom and made some stuff for Justin.  He uses the sachets under his pillow when he sleeps and really likes the laundry soap.  He said his mom would love it, too.  As my good deed for the day I made a package for Justin and one for his mom as well.  This is kind of a good deed for myself too, since I would like this lady to like me a little bit :)  I also threw in a necklace my mom made, that I absolutely fell in love with.  I hope she loves the soap as much as the rest of us do, I know it would make my mom super happy to hear another great review!  The bike sachet is the one I made for Justin, I had to put up a picture, because I thought it was adorable and I was a little bit proud.

The Mom Deed: Day 10

My mom is incredible, amazing, inspiring, beautiful, talented....she's my mom, I could go on all day.  She truly is one of the most creative and talented people I know.  She has an Etsy store and an amazing blog.  You should definitely check her out, as she is a huge source of inspiration for me and many others.  She has a business called The Old White House, where she makes all natural and organic laundry soap, dryer sheets, linen spray and dry powder cleaner.  It's not just good for you and the earth, but it's all adorable and smells even better than it looks.  So, today as my good deed and just because I love my mom to death, I popped a squat at her work table and helped her fill the lavender sachets and even came up with a few ideas of my own, which once finished will be shown here and I'll even give you the link for purchase! Happy weekend everyone! xoxo

Swimsuit Deed: Day 9

Two summers ago, I found this adorable swimsuit at Target.  And wore it maybe 5 times total.  But, every time I did, my fourteen year old sister, Hannah, would tell me how much she wanted it and she'd always sneak it out of  my room.  Well, this year when I went to put it on before heading to the ocean with the man, I realized it was a little big on me.  So, I scoured Target for an hour or so, until I found it's twin in black. I was elated.  So, before I came home from Atlanta, I remembered my sisters love of this bathing suit (especially since my mom and her had told me many a time via phone call) and packed it up and gave it to her for my good deed.  Bathing suit shopping is always the worst.  Now, she doesn't have to deal with that inevitably awkward and frustrating experience, plus she gets a super cute swimsuit that fits her figure perfectly!

Airplane Deed: Day 8

Today I flew home to Michigan. It was quite the ordeal (I will never have a normal flying experience, I'm pretty sure).  It started out great. I got to the airport two and half hours before my flight, didn't have to stand in line for a single thing, and made it to my gate in plenty of time to relax before taking off.  And then, the inevitable delay.  Lightning struck the ramp, so they had to delay the plane for a half hour. No big deal, I still should have gotten to Michigan by 9pm.  We boarded the plane on time and were sitting there for quite awhile, when the steward came over the intercom letting us know that the Pilot and Co-pilot were M.I.A.  No joke! They couldn't locate either of them.  He was so cute and funny though, telling us he was super embarrassed and was going to tell us the truth, because he didn't know what else to say.  We ended up sitting on the plane until 9, when we finally got a new set of pilots for the flight, and were just about to take off when a man asked if we could switch seats with me so he could sit next to his wife. Perfect! I hadn't done  my deed for the day and was clearly running out of time.  I immediately got up and gladly switched, it wasn't hurting me any and it'd make two people's flight more enjoyable.  Why not?  My phone was already off and tucked away in my purse, so no picture was taken.  Hopefully you aren't the type who need to see to believe....I swear it happened!  Anyway, I am now safely in Michigan and ready to  PARTY with my besties for my friend Carly's birthday!! SO GLAD TO BE HOME!!!
