Eye Candy

There are several popular styles out right now that my eye keeps going back to. Last year I started to see the chambray shirts but thought I couldn't pull it off. This year my mind has changed and I cannot stop looking at them. Here are some of the items I'm currently dreaming about. 


I have  a similar Michael Kors pocket book but I love this style! 

I was tired of polka dots for a while but I guess I'm over it. Love! 

A gingham shirt

A leather watch 

After looking at Pinterest, I don't think I am the only onto eyeing some of these items!! That must just mean we all have good taste(: 


Happy Tuesday!

Time Flies

I am in complete shock at how fast this first nine weeks has gone by. Today marked the end of the first marking period. It absolutely FLEW by. We needed the marking period with a little Pumpkin Math. I think I was more excited than the students! It was fun to break away from the curriculum for a day to have a little fun. I was SO lucky to have parent volunteers come in to help! The day was a huge success!

Finished product! 

Does it sink or float?


I'm definitely attached to all of my students. I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring. I know I ended up at this school this year for a reason. I feel blessed! 

On another note, last weekend I was able to head home for the weekend which is always nice. Mom claims I need to stop visiting because it breaks the bank stocking me up with groceries, gas, etc. I say it's all worth it .. whatcha think mom? (: My family and I went to a wedding in Greensboro at the Carolina Theatre. The wedding was gorgeous but what I enjoyed most was spending time with my parents. It's fun connecting with my family in a different way than I did when I was younger. 



She has definitely become my best friend! Love you! 

I'm supposed to be in Raleigh right now for Color Me Rad but the hurricane is messing me up. I guess I will see in the morning if I'm able to go or not! Fingers crossed!

Life's Little Lessons

Life's Little Lessons Via Pinterest 

Simple enough right? Sometimes it takes a little reminding ourself that happiness is not something you rely on anyone else for, but something you create yourself. 

As a teacher this one really stuck out to me. It's easy to leave school tired and worn out but it is SO SO important to start the next day with a fresh and positive attitude!! It will make your day so much more enjoyable! 

Words are something you can't take back. Know what to say, when to say it and most importantly when to stop. 



Such great advice! 

Things happen, let it go.
