The last few weeks have been full of me trying to decompress, focus on quality time with Cory, and spend more time with myself. There havent been too many social events or many short trips out of tow...
Since school will be out for summer by this time next week (eek!), I have been day dreaming about all things summer: lunches downtown with Cory, lounging by the pool, and most importantly, dreaming o...
As you know, Cory and I have been without any television service (no cable, no standard stations) since January. Its really working out well for us, plus we pinch a few pennies from not having to pay...
It seems like the last two weeks have crawled by at a snails pace. The school days seem long and tedious and the weekends feel far too short and incomplete. We only have 2 more weeks of school remain...
Graduation Outfit Im on the hunt for a cute graduation outfit to wear to graduation on June 8th. Dressing for graduation can be tricky. I will meet a lot of parents and siblings for the first t...
I have an unabashed love affair every Monday when I get home from work. Its during those precious 10 minutes I watch iTunes download the newest episode of Mad Men for my viewing pleasure (reminder: w...
I know its only Thursday, but Im certainly getting ready for the weekend. I will be attending my schools prom, spending some time with our favorite mothers for Mothers Day, and trying to squeeze in a...
I talked about my summer To Read pile a few weeks ago and was really happy that I documented all the titles that I wanted to make sure I read. But of course, Im never just limited to those books. Aft...
As you could probably tell, my last few posts were pretty down and full of emotion. Its been one heck of a spring around here; so many drastic and tragic events have occurred in my neck of the woods....
(photo by Jason Smitherman via flickr) Theres been a lot of introspective thought on my end over the last few weeks. The school year is winding down (I dont think I can manage one post w/o mentioning...
Whenever life gets stressful this time of year, I instantly imagine my summer respite hovering right around the corner. I mentioned here that Ive been daydreaming about lazy days by the pool reading ...
If I had a tumblr, this would be a tumblr post, but I dont have a tumblr. I have an idea and I have no idea how to make it come to life, but I at least want to document it, before I forget/some...
If theres one thing I cant do, its figuring things out. At least, I dont feel like I can. When I was younger, probably in high school, I tried really hard to know what I wanted to do with my life, bu...
Every year Cory and I try to take about a week-long roadtrip before we meet up with my parents in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Three years ago we went through a tour of the south (Knoxville, Na...
Its Friday! Today is the end of our second to last marking period, which means the true counting down can begin (only 24 more days of school... just sayin)! Schools are open for a half day so teacher...
It seems like I have been slipping into a daydream so easily recently! Youre probably familiar with the situation: overwhelmed with work, everything is loud and chaotic, people are stressed. It all m...
(photo credit) On the day of my last post, April 11, a student at my school passed away as a result of a traumatic and freak head injury. As you know, I taught seniors last semester and really ...
Cory and I had an issue with our newly installed light fixtures over spring break and we decided to remedy the situation ourselves (dang ol slanted ceilings). Now, I do not encourage you to do this, ...
If theres one thing I love, its the magical vortex that is every Target store Ive ever been to. Are you with me? I can say, "Ill be back in 15 minutes!" and the next thing I know its been 55 ...
Brought to you via Bookoisseur (one of my new fav blogs!) via ScienceLoveLSD Personally, I think that poster is the perfect way to start a Monday. Make it a good one :)
Holy moly. This week has been CRAZY. I cannot even believe how much has been accomplished in the last 7 days. I need to do a little review, because I dont want to loose track of it all! First, Cory a...
When it comes to shoes, my taste is classic and colorful. I certainly have more colorful shoes in my closet than black or brown. Being a teacher my budget for shoes is pretty small, so I have ...
I just wanted to hop on by (ha, get it?), to wish you each a happy Easter! Is it just me, or does it not feel like spring until Easter gets here? I am a strict follower of white only bet...
You know that moment when you realize you shouldve paid more attention to your parents and grandparents taste in music, film, and books? Maybe Ill never like the same kind of music they do, but there...
Last weekend Cory hosted a bachelor party for one of his closet friends, Rich. They were meeting at our house early Saturday morning before their tee time at a local golf course, so I volunteered to ...
In October 2011 I posted about my 5 favorite fall trends in crochet. I really loved putting together that post and thinking about it inspired me to put together todays post! As you probably already k...
Im going to be honest--Ive been an avid reader my entire life. My mom often jokes about me not going in the car without pen, paper, and a book to read. Fortunately, I have never suffered from motion ...
The best thing about having friends who are crafty and also teachers is that they find the most incredible resources. My friend Karla is a pro when it comes to finding good lookin projects and/or cla...
I like to change things up in our house every few months. Most of the time Ill just rearrange a few items in a new vignette around the house instead of going out to buy something new. That is exactly...
Random fact: when I was 16 years old I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Essentially, my joints completely froze in place and I was unable to move very much while my doctors completed many tes...
