What I've Been Wearing


I picked up this jacket, at almost 75% off, at Anthropologie. It was a whim and one I was afraid I'd regret. However, during this cool spring it's been a blessing and I've found myself reaching for it over and over again. 

jacket: anthropologie (similar $70), top: gift/diy (similar $77),
pants: ann taylor loft  (similar $70), shoes: payless (similar $37)


This dress is from eShakti. I feel like I've raved about them numerous times here; I love the unique style of there clothes and I am continually amazed by the quality. 

sweater: thrift (similar $32), dress worn as a skirt: c/o eshakti (similar $70 or similar $50),
necklace: target (similar $19, similar $50, similar $19), boots: target (similar $50)


This sweater was another Anthropologie clearance find, but I was immediately certain that it was a piece I'd get a ton of use out of. The sleeves and back are a fine knit blend which makes it almost feel like a sweatshirt, the front is a silky blend. It's perfect for laid back days when I don't necessarily want to get dressed, but still desire to wear something pretty. It also provides the perfect amount coverage for those warm but windy spring days. 

I should probably throw these purple flats out. They are almost five-years-old and have absolutely no cushion left.  They, however, have such sentimental value - I wore them though-out Italy four years ago and now can't bear to part with them. I don't normally consider myself I packrat but when it comes to shoes and all the places I have walked in them - I just can't seem to say goodbye.  It's an odd, and somewhat stinky thing, to be attached too. 

sweater: anthropologie, (similar $90), necklace: target (similar $19, similar $50, similar $19),
jeans: hand-me-downs (same), shoes: dsw (same, but not in purple)

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.
