    The Headboard: Before & After*

    I’ve had a busy few days. And by busy I of course mean not really busy at all. My lovelies, I finally started watching North & South. And by “started watching” I obviously mean that I sat glued to my couch until I had watched the entire series. Oh my goodness it was SO good! I was devastated when it ended simply because it meant there wasn’t more to the story. *sigh* In other news, I’m now sixteen weeks pregnant and I fear the days of wearing my own clothes are limited. I’m still squeezing into my pants, but there is a growing pile of pants with top buttons who…

    Thrifty Thursday: Shorts & Shirts*

    Thank you. I so appreciated all your words of advice and support regarding my last post. Many of you expressed an interest in wanting to know how I handled the situation, and after a lot of thought, I decided to let it go. Should I have said something to this person? Maybe. But I thought it would probably cause way more trouble than it’s worth. If they read my last post and even felt an uncomfortable twinge thinking that it may be them, then I’m good with that. If not… meh. Not worth my time. ANYWAY. I am officially on summer holidays!!!!!! Let us pause for a moment and reflect…

    Thrifty Thursdays: The Shoe Count*

    I’m baaaaaaaaack! I can’t even remember the last time I did a Thrifty Thursday post… isn’t that sad? The move was so crazy, and I feel like things are just beginning to slow down. I’m still working like crazy and there’s still a billion things to do around the house, but I feel like we’re settling into a routine again. …which means I have a few minutes here and there to do a little thrifting. :) I actually had a morning off last week and was able to sneak out to Value Village’s half price day sale. I found a cute black dress, and two fabulous pairs of sandals that…

    Thirfty Thursdays – Steve Madden Sandals*

    It has been a busy and exciting week. Tomorrow will mark the first time that I will have ever taught five full days in a row since becoming a supply teacher. Sure, I’ve worked five days in a row before, but they aren’t usually full days. I often get calls for a morning here, or an afternoon there, but I’ve never quite made it to a full week. Until now. :) When I got the call for another full day tomorrow (my 4th day at the same school this week) I was elated. I love my job, and this is like getting a small glimpse into what life will be…

    Six Months + Six Dresses (#2)

    It’s here!! It’s finally here!! Today is the first Thursday of April which means it’s finally time to debut Dress #2 of my Six Months + Six Dresses challenge! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to write this post–I was expecting to post it last week, but then that dang 31st of March fell on a Thursday which meant I had to wait an extra week. *sigh* C’est la vie! Before I show you my new dress, I just have to say how excited I am about my Summer of Dresses project. I already have six guest bloggers lined up to show you their favourite dresses, and I’m hoping…
