What I've Been Wearing


This outfit contains many of my current favorites. The top is a recent "just because" gift from Jeremy's aunts, which already makes it special, but I also adore it's crochet details - unfortunately, the details are a little hard to see in pictures. The pants are also fairly new and are so comfortable that I find myself wearing them all the time. The shoes are a happy souvenir our from our recent NYC trip - I picked them up at a sidewalk sale for only $10!

shirt: target, skirt: vintage/hand-me-down, shoes: dsw, bracelet: diy 


I'm a bit sad that the polka-dot trend faded so quickly. Luckily, trends have never been my top concern while planning an outfit. Since I still think they are lot of fun I will probably continue to wear them for a while. 

dress: hand-me-down, scarf: target, shoes: restricted


I threw a cardigan over this dress during church, which saved me for a bit of an embarrassing fashion faux-pa. Jeremy had gone away for a men's retreat that weekend so I didn't have him to help zip me up in the back. I meant to ask Big Buddy but in the rush to get us all out the door on my own - I wanted to show Jeremy I could be on time even without him! - I forgot. Luckily, I found the AC to be freezing as usual, and wore my sweater all morning.

scarf: vintage, belt: thrift, necklace: francesca's, dress: old navy, shoes + cardigan: target
fyi - this dress is currently marked down to $20 - find it here


I wore this outfit to the wedding we attend this past weekend. I had planned to wear the same outfit (a lace pink dress) that I wore to a weeding we attended early this summer. Jeremy, however, made me second guess myself when he pointed out that while the locations were hundreds of miles apart, there were a handful of guests that would be the same. At first I laughed at him, - "nobody would remember what we wore, do you remember what anyone other than the bride and groom wore?" - but eventually I succumbed to doubts and chose to go with this navy dress instead. I don't adore it as much as I do the lace one but I did enjoy mixing in the greens. The skirt of this dress also has great swing too, which made dancing all the more fun.

    3 cute dresses! And I'm with you - I'm not big on dropping a print I love (like polka dots!!) just because it's not the hottest at the moment. Besides, when are polka dots ever wrong? ;)

    Oh I am loving that first outfit! The green shoes are the perfect touch. Are polka dots out now? I hope not because I love them! I'll just pretend I'm blissfully unaware. :)

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.
