Weekly Outfit Summary


I found this skirt in a thrift store in Boston last spring. It was in the vintage section and looks to be homemade. Either way it was a great price and I love fun colors and prints. 

cardigan: gap, shirt; old, skirt + shoes: thrift, belt: gift 


I got this dress at Old Navy several weeks back and debated between sizes for awhile. I ended up going with the larger size. It's a bit loose but I was looking for an everyday summer dress and the extra room makes it easier to wear when chasing after kiddos. 

hat: target, dress + belt: old navy, shoes: florence 

I think you can tell in the pictures that this skirt is actually a maxi dress. I found it on crazy clearance (under $4!) this winter. It's strapless and thus I would have passed it by if it wasn't for the price, not actually for modesty reasons. I think length/strap rules are a little silly. Just because something is strapless doesn't necessarily make it immodest.  My hesitancy with strapless has much more to do with how difficult it is to keep it in place while also picking-up/carrying children. I had to pull it back up a couple times though-out the day and thus was very glad I chose to wear the t-shirt. 

necklace: francesca's, t-shirt: vs, dress: old navy, bracelet: target, shoes: florence

    The eyelet dress is stunning! The color is simply beautiful.. you don't need anything else with this kind of color! I also love the knotted tee.. so nonchalantly cool!

    I've never been a strapless fan! They just don't seem to stay in place! I chose a wedding dress with straps for that reason! That orange dress is really cute, I'm sure I remember seeing it for sale at Old Navy.

    that "homemade" skirt fits you like a glove - it's like they made it specifically for you! I've also seen several people rave about the lace/eyelet dress so I now may have to keep an eye out for it.

A Little Red Cardboard Barn

We've finished our farm unit and are moving on to a new theme tomorrow - but before we do I wanted share the barn we made. The wooden farm animals came with a beautiful handmade ark that we gave Big Buddy for Christmas a couple years ago.  I would someday love to have a wood barn but it's currently not in the budget. So in the mean time we decided to improvise and make our own.  I stumbled upon this perfectly sized milk box (4 gallons per box) while subbing and thought it would be sturdy enough to handle play. Hubandie and the boys used an x-acto knife and wood glue to build a barn shape. to get the doors to fold out hubandie used an x-acto knife and scored the inside of the cardboard We then painted with a basic primer and outlined a window and a door with painters tape. cardboard is very porous so priming is a must if you want decent coverage Big Buddy however insisted that we add more windows so it...

Preschool Syllabus: Dr. Seuss

Normally I'd do a Dr. Seuss unit in March around his birthday. We had to do one now though because on Saturday Big Buddy and I going on a date to a  Dr. Seuss exhibit . The exhibit is only at the museum until January and I'm afraid if we don't go now we might not get the chance. We are of course reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books. A great advatage to studying Dr. Seuss in November rather than March is that all his books were available at the library. I also found a great children's biography which is perfect for preschoolers. Pebble First Biographies: Dr. Seuss  We've read it a couple times and Big Buddy loves reciting all the facts he's learned WRITING CENTER ADDITIONS big buddy's name in sand paper letters, coloring pages  & mazes from seussville.com skills practiced: fine motor, letter recognition, creativity,  reading comprehension LEARNING "TRAYS" -   I rotate these, setting out about four a day from which the boy...

Jack-O-Lanterns on the Fridge

Last fall I saw the idea for refrigerator pumpkins with face pieces in FamilyFun Magazine  and have been anxious to recreate them ever since. It was pretty quick and easy and since the only thing we didn't have on hand was magnetic sheets ($1.50 with coupon at Joann's) it was also very cheap. my supplies: magnetic sheets, orange & black construction paper, white pen, tacky glue *i know they have self adhesive sheets but my Joann's didn't carry them   glued (very messily) and ready to cut Both the boys were quite enthused when they discovered them after rest time :) Hopefully it will keep them entertained until we carve real pumpkins.
