It’s been a hot minute since I last posted on here, but I have a new few post ideas in line for the next week. If you missed my last one, I showcased my fall decor around the house, as well as an anniversary tablescape. Fast forward to today….J and I have been talking a lot about his family room.  The furniture is older, the lighting needs some work, and there is just soooo much brown.  Since it’s hard for him to visualize what I am thinking, so I like to create a vision boar

Let’s face it, I’m not getting any younger and neither are my feet.  Years of running abuse has taken its toll and I just can’t wear cute heels anymore, at least for long periods of time.  I have shoe envy for those teachers who wear heels all day long and I’d love to know their trick.  For me, after about an hour, I’ve had it and the heels are history.

But if I’m thinking spring, I’m thinking about the new pieces I want to add to my wardrobe to

First and foremost, I want to take a brief moment to mention the horrific shooting that took place in Parkland, Florida.  So far this year, [in just 46 days], there has been 18 shootings, 8 of which resulted in injury or death.  Something needs to be done.  I am an elementary school teacher and I go to school every day and look into the faces of 30 children.  I know they put their trust in me and expect me to keep them safe while under my care.  It pains me that some person a
