BLOGIVERSARY

This past week was my blogiversary.

 I can't believe I have been blogging for TEN YEARS!! What started out as something to showcase my outfits, do little DIY projects etc, has evolved over the years. There's definitely been ups and downs. I have had a great outlet to share my thoughts, family adventures, my creative projects, etc. I have been able to continue to practice my writing. 

There's always the awkward part of putting your life in the public eye. It always opens you up for negative comments, unsolicited opinions, people copying you, and so much more. 

This has been the “social media” before the social media for me over the years. 

I'm not even sure if people read this thing anymore. Not when you can see images on instagram, listen to the podcast to hear my thoughts on things. But I do appreciate the people that have stuck with it with me over the years. 

I'm not sure what the future will bring but until then. 

Here's to what started it all and I give you another outfit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teacher appreciation

 A lot of kids have gone back to school already. Some go this week. Some have another week or so.

I now have so much more appreciation for teachers. Every year there has been new things I’ve learned that they do that has me in awe. First with remote learning and how difficult that was just for my kids but the lengths the teachers went was so amazing. And how quickly they adapted to the new norm.

Fast forward to last year when I started working at a daycare. Man! That can be so exhausting. Towards the end of the year I took over the preschool class and was actually teaching more. I am definitely not a teacher but I am a mom so that definitely helped. A lot of work and planning went into it. I’m so thankful for the people who have the great ideas and put them on Pinterest.

Here we are at the start of a new school year. I had the whole summer off. I know it will be my last here before moving again. So I know this is short lived. But I have been busting my butt with my co-lead teacher in preparation for this first week of school. Printing curriculum, classroom setup, logistics, schedules, organizing closets, and cabinets.

I accidentally revealed to everyone that I’m an organizer and I’ve been tasked with such things already. It’s been insane but I’m glad I can help others not be so stressed. I am exhausted!!
I’m not even teaching the hard stuff like “real” teachers!

Shout out to all the teachers that I know. As well as the rest of them. This is no easy job. They should be getting paid way more!

Get your kids teacher a little something today. I guarantee they need it already.

 Don't you love a transitional piece? I bought this romper this summer and it's so comfortable and cute. Easily transitional to winter, just layer it with a tee shirt, sweater, tights, and boots, done and done. Do you have a fun transitional piece?
