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!

I've had this vest for awhile but rarely wear it, 

because I have a hard time feeling like it is flattering.  

I've been looking for some vest inspiration and finally found two to copy.  

I'm happy to find a new way to wear it, since when I bought it I thought it would be something I could only wear in the Fall or Winter.   

Thank goodness for pinterest, right?

High Five for Friday

 1.  How many blazers have I acquired in the last month? Three.  One for free.  One for $4. And this one for $10. 

Thank you Old Navy.  

2. And thank you to this stylish lady I found on pinterest for my outfit inspiration:

 3.  Today my students were working on an assignment finding adjectives that started with specific letters and were using the dictionaries.  One of my students came up to me, laughing embarrassingly, and pointed to the word naked. 

"Yes Morgan, that is a word." 

4.  I made my first green smoothie last week, and have since made one two more times.  I was a little skeptical and Chris was very skeptical but we were both pleasantly surprised that it was delicious.  And I felt unbelievably healthy while drinking it.  

Only downfall is when I added blueberries to one I had blueberry and spinach pieces stuck in my teeth. 

So far from flattering.

5. This weekend Lauren in Law is coming and it's my dad's birthday!  

Then next week sister Lauren is coming.  

Lots to look forward to! 

Happy weekend!

We're home from Mexico!!  We had such a wonderful time. I plan on spending today looking through and uploading pictures, doing laundry, picking up our house and finishing a few Christmas projects.  I am so excited for Christmas Eve tomorrow - my family does all our traditions and presents then and my sister and her family come in tonight.  I wish the next week would go by really slowly! : ) 

I definitely did not wear this outfit today, as I will most likely be in sweatpants the majority of the day.  Here is another pinterest inspired outfit I wore last week: 

 Hope you've all had a great week!  I missed reading all your blogs while I was gone.  I hope to catch up today!!
