7.05.10bHow was everyone’s weekend? Ours was fantastic. One of the best 4th of July’s that I can remember. Definitely beats out the 4th of July that my parents decided to help me over my fear of fireworks. Their plan was to load me up with sparklers — you know, baby explosions that you can hold. In the end, I got scared of the two sparklers that I was holding and ran into a garage full of gasoline with people chasing behind me sceaming “No Kendi, No!!” To which I thought they were screaming at me because they didn’t want me to hate the sparklers but really they just didn’t want the neighborhood to blow up.

This year we just watched the fireworks from the back of my dad’s truck in a field while my mother and I sang ridiculous patriotic songs, my dad laughed and my husband took pretty pictures.

This is my first outfit for the remix. I’m so excited for everyone to be joining in on the remixing! It’s surprised me a bit at how many participants have signed up. I had no idea that so many people would take on the challenge. I always knew you all were brave to be sticking around this blog.

How excited am I about all of the remixers that have joined in? This excited:

PS — tonight is the last night that I’ll be adding blogs to the link list, so let me know. If you don’t have a blog but want to join in on the fun, join our Flickr group. And if you just want to be a spectator, there is room for you here as well. I don’t judge here on Kendi Everyday, I just entertain.

  2. I've been wavering, but I think I'd like to join in as well! I mean, I'm already not shopping, so that's like 87% of the battle.

  3. Kendi, how could you do this to me? I had to choose my items without any guidance or blatant copying of your picks. I hope I did okay…
    P.S. The pink skirt is so adorable, I wish I had one to twirl around in!

  4. Love the first outfit, you can't really go wrong with stripes! The videos are adorable too… you guys have some sick moves lol! love it!

  6. OKAY, you talked me into it. 😀 I wasn't going to do this, since I'm going on vacation in the middle of this, but I figure I'll already be living off a miniature wardrobe then.

  7. Adorable! I like that's it a simple concept – striped tee and a full skirt – made a million times more fun by the bright pink. And I love seeing the remixes through out the 30 days…and am also loving see all the other participants. Great idea to get everyone in on the action.

  8. I am SO HAPPY you're doing this again, though I don't quite have the courage to join you. Not yet anyway 🙂 I am definitely looking forward to the next 29 days to see all the remixed fabulousness that you come up with 🙂 If its anything like day 1, it should be fantastic 🙂

  9. Did I miss a day? I can't seem to find a list with pics of all the items you're remixing this month. Would it be possible to see so we can follow along?

  10. Lovin' the first outfit. I was too chicken to join your remixing group. Maybe the next one you hold, I'll be in. I need more preparation. Ha ha. I love the actions shots of your and your hubba… so fracken' cute. Come stop by my blog, I'm having a little giveaway!

  20. I am loving that animation, I can feel the excitement. 🙂
    I think I found your blog around the time you did the first remix, so I am definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up this time around.

  23. I think it is a great challenge that teaches you creativity and restrain! I would love to join, but unfortunately I don't have a camera at my disposal this month and I would not be able to document anything. Anyway, good luck to all participants and I am going to be one of those idle observers!

  24. Ahhh Chacos! My friend is from Alabama and she says they're HUGE down South, haha. Anywho, lovely first outfit! So fun. I can't wait to see which pieces you decided to pick for this time around!

  25. Kendi!

    So I have to admit, i've never been a blog reader until i stumbled across yours. I've been reading it for about a month or so now and I get so excited when, like this weekend, i haven't read it in a few days and get back into wifi and discover a plethora of new posts!

    I know it's been such a long time but I just want to say, i think you're so beautiful and still funny as ever. Congratulations (i know, i know, i'm really late on this) on getting married, I am so happy for you! Take care and good luck on your remixing!

    Warmest Wishes,
    Alison Hensal

  26. I love your outfit… and I actually picked out one incredibly similar to that for my 30 for 30 too!
