Happy October! One of my favorite months is finally here. What is it about fall that gets bloggers all in a tizzy?!
Whatever, I love to play along!
Some things I’m looking forward to:
Can’t wait to make these with the littles in my class.
I need to bake this like yesterday!
Pumpkin pie dip….amaze
Simple and easy.
Drooling!
I think Ghost Pumpkins are my favorite!
I’m a sucker for a great soup!
Hmmm…pie…
What are you looking forward to?
*Blogging everyday in May*
Share five of your favorite blogs and why you like them.
I love many many blogs. Like most bloggers, I read a bunch of blogs before I sat down behind my keyboard crankin’ this baby out on the regular!
Because I love so many types of blogs, today I want to share some that I feel need a little recognition.
First up is Sarah from From the Desk.
Sarah is a social work student/military wife who’s husband is currently deployed. She is currently in DC with other social work students working on hunger initiatives. Bonus, she’ll be my “neighbor” when I move next month!
Next up is Katie from Take Two.
Gosh, I just love this girl! She shares her middle of the night shopping trips with the world. We’re talking tofu, eggplant, and other randoms. Girlfriend is straight up hilarious. She also leaves some of the best comments on my blog.
The next three don’t really need an introduction:
Megan from Greetings from Texas. If you haven’t read this blog, you’re missing out!
And of course the only reason I’m writing this post in the first place: Jenni from Story of My Life.
Happy Tuesday!
While planning my latest party, I came across a super easy, super glittery, super fabulous DIY.
Has anyone figured out a way to get glitter off of things you don’t want it on?
Seriously. Sparkle on, people, sparkle on.
You’ll need:
(mine were from the dolla dolla store)
*Paint mod podge on one side of the candle*
*Roll it, baby!*
*Paint the other side and roll again!*
Now, shine like a diamond in the sky. That’s an order, from Queen Rhianna.
Charming Charlie is my favorite place to buy jewelry. A few weeks ago there was a buy one get one free on all their clearance items. Huge deals all over the place. I found an ugly necklace that I wanted to dress up a little. AKA, mutilate and turn into something cute and wearable!
You’ll need:
An ugly necklace
Ribbon
Wire clippers
Bracelet closures
Clip apart the chains.
Pick your ribbon and chain.
You’ll want your ribbon to be twice the size (or larger) of the necklace. Thread ribbon through the top link.
Lay the ribbon to one side, wrap one over the other and pull through the link.
Continue around the bracelet.
This next one is the same except only use one side of the ribbon around the bracelet. I also left room on the end to make a ribbon tie.
This next one is a little more tricky, I call it the figure 8.
Leave ribbon on the end for a tie.
Wrap through the link, pull under and over the bottom part of the link, then go through the next link. Continue to the end.
If you’ve been around teachers during this time of the year, you’ll probably notice a few things.
1- We’re balls of frazzled/excited energy trying to get it all done.
2-We’re searching all over pinterest for classroom ideas.
3- We’re all asking each other, “What’s your classroom theme?”
For the last few years I’ve stuck with the simple black/white/pick a color scheme. I’ve used mostly pink and light reds. I’ve noticed that my classroom theme usually coordinates with the decorating colors in my house or in my wardrobe.
We all know how much I love stripes and all things blue and white.
So, long story short, my room is blue, white, and burlap. Original I know!
Ridiculous lead up to a really simple DIY that I used to spruce up my bulletin boards.
You’ll Need:
Coffee Filters (four or five per flower)
Stapler or twist ties
