Outfit of the Day's

Well, it seems that alot of the bloggers I am currently following are posting blog posts of their OOTD's. For those of you not familiar with blogging lingo, this means Outfit of The Day. When I came across this idea earlier this week, I decided I'd see if I could keep up with it. So far so good! I successfully took pictures of my outfits that I wore to work on Wednesday-Friday! So I figured I'd share. I'm going to try to keep up with this but who knows what will happen. I don't always have time to take pictures each morning... especially as it nears the end of the week. It seems the further into the week it gets, the harder and harder it is to get up! Anyways, here are my outfits from Wednesday-Friday!

This Brings a Smile to My Face

Back in July, Kevin and I went to Raleigh and watched the triplets for a few days. A week later, I was seriously missing those three handsome little boys. When I text my cousin to tell her we wanted to come back and see them soon, she sent me this cute video message from Sullivan. Whenever I watch it, it makes me smile and puts a new perspective on my day!

Best Christmas Photo Ever!

For the month of January, my students are working on making inferences. This week our focus was on inferring with pictures. As I was putting together a flipchart for inferring with pictures, I thought about the following photo of the triplets at Christmas. This truly is the best and funniest Christmas photo ever. I showed it to my students and they immediately busted out in laughter. They thought it was hilarious! Once the laughter died down, they all made an inference on how the boys felt. They did great and came up with the perfect inference. Since I realized I never shared this picture before, I figured I had to post it. It will truly bring a smile to your face!

More Christmas Presents!!

With everybody running from place to place over the holidays, my friends and I always wait to get together after Christmas and exchange presents. Because I received these presents after the holiday season, it slipped my mind to post pictures of them. But when I posted yesterday about the new scarves I purchased over the weekend, I remembered about these. Since I love them equally as much, I figured I had to be fair and share (:

Kevin's aunt knows I love scarves so she got me the two plaid ones for Christmas! They are sooo warm and unbelievably soft.  My best friend and favorite neighbor in two places, bought me the white and gray striped scarf. Its hilarious to me that she bought this because I only looked at it fifteen times at Walmart but talked myself out of it each time because I wasn't quite sure what I would wear it with.


I love the fact that the gray in this scarf is mixed with glitter thread so it gives it a dressy touch. 


Aly also gave me this adorable top from our favorite hometown store... which I also happened to have looked at several times but never did purchase! Her reason for buying it... "I liked it so, I knew you would". You have no idea how true her statement is. We always end up telling each other about our purchases when we don't go shopping together and eight times out of ten, we usually purchase the same thing! But anyways, I love this top and can't wait to wear it..I think it'll look great with a gray cardigan and jeans for a night out on the town!


Love the top beading!


And one of the last gifts I got for Christmas was from Kristy, one of my lifelong best friends/sisters.  She purchased daisies (obviously my favorite flower since they were the flowers I used in my wedding) and wrapped them around ink pens and placed them in a vase. The colors matched my classroom perfectly!  I've had this arrangement sitting on my desk for three weeks now and it was just two days ago that one of my kids actually discovered that the flowers weren't just fake flowers but were actually pens too! haha Attached to the vase was a cd she made with all of our favorite songs to dance to both in the car and out (; It's going to be our entertainment for our beach trip that we're taking at the end of February!!!
