Food Truck Friday

The return Food Truck Friday is one of the most anticipated events in the Williams' household! The three of us (yes I'm including Moose) love Food Truck Friday (from now on I will refer to it as FTF). We pack a bag with drinks, napkins, Moose food and treats, a blanket and bug spray and head across the river to Tower Grove Park. I highly suggest that if you live in the area,you add this monthly event to your calender, it's worth it. For more information on FTF, you can visit Sauce Magazine.

Tips and Tricks: 

-If you have children, it's best to come early so you don't have to stand in line quite as long.
-If the food is good one of two things will happen:
      1. They will run out fast or
      2. The line will be crazy long. Be patient and it will be worth the wait!
-There will be a lot of cars, don't let them overwhelm you. Plan to park and walk, it's part of the FTF experience!
- Bring your own drinks and napkins.
- If you've got a pup, don't leave him at home. Moose loves to see and smell everyone and everything when we go!
- Visit the ATM before you leave. Most of the trucks have an app on their iPhone's for debit cards, but I'm a little leery of that business, so we take cash.
- Get a cupcake. Seriously, they're fantastic! Last year I got one with an ice cream filling, it was very tasty!

See you there!!

Bedroom Dilemma

Alex and I decided that we loved the second bedroom so much, that we wanted to paint our bedroom too! We chose the same Velspar paint in "Cinder Block." However, we've got a bit of a dilemma. Where should we put our bed?  Below are some pictures and on the right sidebar please vote for where you'd like to see our bed! Thank you!!

By the wall?

OR

By the window?

Thank you!!

Thoughts for a Monday...

Let me be transparent for a minute...follow up.

A few weeks ago I told you about my Pinterest "problem" here.  After my week without Pinterest I learned:

1. I had more free time.
2. I was more content with the state of our house.
3. Alex enjoyed using the iPad a lot more often!

When my Pinterest free week was over, I began using again (that sounds like I'm an addict). But, I quickly learned that the problem wasn't Pinterst, it was my heart. I was allowing myself to sit and gawk, lust and covet over seemingly unimportant things and think it was acceptable (obviously it's not).

I'm not perfect and I still get on Pinterest. But, I limit my time and know my boundries. There is a point when something becomes a problem and you need to begin searching for a soulution. Alex and I prayed about the situation and I'm consciously try to spend less time gawking.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned whatever situation I am in to be content.

In light of the subject, I found this ecard and thought it was amusing and fitting:
