Book Character Pumpkins

Want to get your students excited about books?!? Have a book character pumpkin decorating contest. I just had one at my school and it was a HUGE success!

Spring Dress Must Haves

In case you haven't noticed by now, I have a thing for lace and polka dots. There is just something about the girly lace details and fun prints that draw me in.

She had a double mastectomy in October and has been undergoing Chemo treatments since November. She is kicking cancer in the ass. Literally a week and a half after finding out my mom had cancer, I learned that I'm pregnant. My husband and I had made the decision to start trying, little did we know it would happen so soon! It was the best news! My husband and I were overjoyed and could not wait to share the news with our moms.

What to Wear on a Hiking/Camping Trip out West

As an avid outdoors gal, I am always trying to find good deals on versatile clothing to wear when hiking and camping. Smartwool and Lululemon are hands down my favorite brands. I have a variety of Lululemon leggings, tanks and sports bras that I can mix and match. When it gets cool on the trail, I throw on a Smartwool sweater. If it’s really cold, Smartwool long underwear under my leggings! Below are some outfits I pairs together while camping at Yellowstone National Park. Like my outfit?
