High Five for Friday

top, jeans, booties: target  scarf: OmMadeWIthLove

1. One of my best friends recently opened an Etsy shop.  

She is beyond talented.  And she is extremely generous and lets me benefit from her talents by letting my wear her gorgeous scarves!

Check out her shop here.

2.  Here are my other favorites:

                                                 button scarf                              multicolored cowl

3.  Loving this verse lately and clinging to it's truth.

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness. 
2 Corinthians 12:3 

4.  I'm adding this sweater to my birthday wishlist: 

(Which is less than a month away!)

forever 21

5.  I read this interesting article the other day about the amount of money being spent on beauty, from products to procedures.  It was definitely interesting and you should check it out here.

Chris and I are leaving tonight to spend three days in Wisconsin thanks to a great deal we found on groupon.  I can't even tell you how excited I am to spend some quality time together.  

Life has been challenging and stressful lately and it is so easy to let that take over your daily life. 

I'm excited to spend a few days away from life's distractions and busyness.

Hope you have a great weekend!  

High Five for Friday

dress: kohls (years old)  vest: kohls (similar)  wedges: old navy $4  (similar)

1.  Taking pictures of yourself is awkward.
Taking pictures of your backside is extra awkward.
But I really like the back of this vest, so I did it just for you.

2. I almost wrote, "I'm not complaining . . . " but then I realized that is exactly what I am doing.
I'm complaining because by the end of the school day I am sweaty, exhausted and often crabby and am dealing with 22 kids that feel the same way.
Looking forward to hopefully cooler weather so my classroom isn't so hot!


(Just in case you can't tell - it says 85 degrees.)

3.  This really made me laugh.
If only I had all the outfits I pinned.

4. I think I deserve some major credit for making this tub of jelly beans last from May until this week. 

I think I should be rewarded with another tin. 

5.   If I had actually been cooking dinner the last two weeks I'd share a recipe with you.
But I haven't.
So I've got nothing.
Let's hope that this coming week is better.  Maybe I'll make this:

buffalo chicken pasta salad

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I'm looking forward to some much needed time spent with Chris this weekend!

Happy Friday!
