Matching Mother Daughter Outfits {oh,no}

Matching outfits for Mom and her Daughter? "NO WAY" This I have to say has NEVER been on my list of things to do with my little girl.
I've always thought this style was a bit much, and screams "look at us".
Then CrewCuts made my favorite Tippi heart sweater for little girls.





I have to admit, this outfit was not planned for the same day, YES, I totally knew we had the same adorable sweater, Yes we both absolutely love it...but when I came home from school yesterday and my little girl was wearing the same outfit, my heart did melt!  We giggled, we hugged and of course we snapped some photos!

Meet the Teacher

Today was "meet the teacher" boy..am I tired!!
Although I have been teaching for quite some time {16 yrs}, I feel like I'm still nervous and anxious..and..I'm still sweating and babbling while talking to the parents..
Can you believe that after all of these years I am still reading straight off my cheat notes, ugh..and the worst part is my bright red,red,face!
On the positive side, my classroom looked great, neat, and organized.
I had lots of student work up on ALL of the bulletin boards.
I wore my lucky JCrew Library Dress!
and..I  gave the parents a cute pinterest inspired treat from Kindergarten Cupcake Crumbs Blog.
So all in all it went well. Happy its back to Talking to the Students tomorrow. (LOL)

Bye... Sweet Summer



        Just finished packing backpacks, making lunches & snacks, and laying out 
                        1st day outfits..
My kiddies start school tomorrow. They are beyond excited, we had a long wonderful summer together and now they will see their friends, meet their new teachers and get to use all their brand new school supplies. I am excited for them, I can't believe how much they've grown..(tears) I'm so proud of them..
                    So..summer is officially over..
I have PD for two days then I meet my sweet, 4th graders on Thursday..I am excited to implement "bucket filling", Daily 5 and create my CAFE board.. I've pinned about every common core thing I found so I guess I'm ready. (lol)                                                                      
    Visit tomorrow for my classroom pictures: 
Good luck if you start school this week, and have a fantastic week if you have started already!
