5 Good Things | No. 14

How fun and normal was it that football was back on Saturday? We Normans were pretty excited to watch Auburn. I finally got to have rotel cheese dip, which I’ve been craving for about three weeks. We also had regular chores like Bernie getting groomed and Jack getting his nails trimmed. And I got laundry and vacuuming done. It was a pretty productive but low-key weekend. My favorite kind. Also, Paul shot his lowest round of golf at the country club, I found a new gumbo recipe I’m going to try soon, and I just got word that something very cool from Beautycounter is getting ready to launch! So many great things from the week!

5 Good Things | No. 8

How’s everyone doing after a long holiday weekend? I’m a little slow to start on this Monday. Mostly because I chose to watch Hamilton (again) yesterday rather than do anything productive. Oh well. YOLO, right? Speaking of Hamilton, let’s dive into today’s 5 good things.

5 Good Things No. 2

Monday again! However, this is sort of my last workday Monday. Woo Hoo! Today is my day to head to school and clean up my classroom and close out the school year. I’d say the 2019-2020 school year will go down as the strangest year I’ve had of my teaching career. I’m sure that goes for most of us teachers. We did get some good news in finding out that the Hamilton movie, which is just the Broadway stage production with the original cast filmed, will be coming to Disney+ on July 3rd! My theater nerd self is stoked! Who else is excited?

Currently Loving- June 2019

Hi, friends! Can you believe June is over? I’m not ready for July. I think I say that every year. I have so much fun in the summer and never want it to end. Thinking about going back to work after summer break makes me a little sad. I love this free schedule. I’ll have to make the most of July, but let’s recap June. It was a busy one!

Seven on a Saturday- Game Day Outfit Ideas from Wisteria Cottage

While at work at Wisteria Cottage on Thursday I started looking around at all the new arrivals and quickly noticed that there were several great game day options. Now before you click away from this post- I know it’s July and several weeks away from any real game day action- remember that it’s never too soon to start putting together cute outfits for tailgating, house parties, or just wanting to show your school spirit. Today I’ve put together seven outfits that would be perfect for any Auburn and, yes, Alabama fan.

Seven on a Saturday- Seven Things I’m Loving this Week

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m so happy for this weekend. We are getting to celebrate some friends of ours at a couple’s baby shower. They’re having a little boy, and Paul totally picked out the gift we’re giving them. It’s precious! We’ll call the gift the bonus thing I’m loving this week, but I can’t show it in case Ashley reads this post before the shower. 🙂

This week has been a bit of a whirlwind with discovering Paul had broken his leg and getting used to that new normal. He definitely has the best case scenario for a broken leg, so we’re counting our blessings there. However, there are many good things that I’ve been loving this week so let’s focus on those.

Seven on a Saturday | Spring Trends

Hi, friends! Anyone else got a real case of the hurry-up-and-clear-out-the-pollen-so-I-can-get-outside-and-enjoy-the-spring-weathers? This self-proclaimed winter lover is really ready for the warmer temps, but only like the sunny and 75 stuff. Nothing higher. I immediately want winter again at the first sign of sweat.
