It has been a long week, people! Do you agree? I am looking forward to a three day weekend ahead. Linking up with Andrea, etc. right here!
Last weekend I went into Homegoods just for fun. I feel that I am not ready to decorate or look for decor for my addition quite yet, but I found this cute utensil holder. We have been struggling to fit our stuff in a smaller vessel so this has doubled our space and been very nice this week. It was only $7!
I cannot wait to get some mums! They just scream fall to me. I resisted but plan to do this in September.
I loved this quote and I think many of us are ready for fall this year!
I’m hoping the brick is finished by the time I get home from school today!
Last weekend I made these lemon bars to take to the outdoor concert. You cannot go wrong with this brand – Krusteaz! All of their mixes taste like homemade or better than homemade!
I have been looking for this product and it was not on the shelves at my Kroger. I did find it at Walmart last weekend.
I thought it would be good to put on desserts or on top of an afternoon coffee?
Target Universal Thread does it again. I rarely buy Target shoes but I was desperate. These are a perfect fall transition shoe and they are teacher approved.
What made you happy this week?
Have a wonderful long weekend!

I’ve been trying to hold off on buying mums this early too but I do love them!

Just added mums to my shopping list for next week. I tried to get them in Colorado one year and LOLOL. It’s waaaay too hot there for mums to survive.
I just got some Universal Thread sneakers. That brand, so far, hasn’t let me down.

I love the yellow ones the best! It’s a great brand – very happy with everything by that brand that I have. Have you gone on website and just filtered by that brand? It’s tempting!

The mums look beautiful – why do you wait to buy them? We have them here too, I might buy some for the cabin!
Your house looks fantastic! I really like the bricks and the doors and windows!
Well, the week was fine, but I’m SO busy! Everything starts with a bang, and for us teachers it’s double up – parents’ meeting both in school and with your own kids, planning, organizing, well you know! I try to make time to read your blog, sorry for not commenting more!

I just want to wait until after this weekend which is still summer! I don’t know, though. I have time this weekend with three days off. Thank you – the house is moving slowly but I’m too busy with school to think much about it. I know – being a teacher and a parent is intense!
I have been missing my Tin-Tin but I’m the same! I have not had much time to comment either.
Hope you have had a good start! I already know 150 first and last names and their Spanish names so that is a win!

Any mums yet!? I tried to make cuttings from my rhododendron (is that how you say it?) and plant new ones, hopefully they will grow. I’m really bad at gardening…
150 names!? That’s insane! I rarely know the last name of my students… Since I teach English I try to anglofy my students’ names, like “Eric” is different from “Erik” – students seem to appreciate that, since everything English is cool…!
Thanks for missing my comments (!), next week I will be better!

I’m good with names and I insist that they have a Spanish name – they get to pick but I try to talk them into the equivalent – John = Juan, etc!
