Yipeeeee

Pinned Image



It's officially time to sit back, relax and enjoy...spring break!
I hope all of you had an amazing Easter/Passover weekend!
I had a wonderful day with my family and friends.
This is the first chance that I've had to relax
 and start thinking about the things I'd like to (should) do this week.. ha ha..





Spring Break to do List:
1. relax
2. read (finish reading 50 shades of grey)
3. baseball practice with my lil'guy
4. entertain ( have some play dates with my besties & their adorable kiddies)
5. pick up new jeep (yay)
(I can't wait to give back my old lease it was a - gas guzzling not worth the $$ nightmare!)
6. take at least a few yoga or spin classes (well maybe)
7. choose favors for isabella's communion
8. organize closets & donate old clothes
9. of course shop for a -few- new- spring things
(would just love a new pair of wedges to start the season off right.. preferably..tory burch raffia sally's in size 6)
10. figure out how to do that random generator thingy - for my first give-a-way
( I'm thinking of a $25 lakeshore gift card as soon as I get to 200 followers)
11. plant flowers in front garden
12. think positively about the ela & math exams that my 3rd graders will be taking
                                    as soon as break is over (yikes)
                        and.... # 13. enjoy spending time with my family!





How will you be spending your spring break?

reality tv (obsessed)

Are you ready for NBC’s Fashion Star? I just can’t get enough of television that highlights fashion, so I guess I'll be adding one more show to my TV lineup .  Fashion Star is a contest that will pit unknown designers against one another in hopes of winning a $6 million contract to sell to stores like Macy’s, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue . 
In addition, each week, one winner will be selected and his/her design will be sold to the public!
Sounds interesting right? 
What’s even more interesting is that the host is Elle Macpherson (so, so beautiful) 
and fashion celebrities,                 
John Varvatos, Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie (my fav)  are also - on the show!                                                                                  They will help determine the next Fashion Star.
 POP SUGAR interviews Nicole Richie about the show!

  
                    Here is a sneak peek!

Marni is coming to H&M - March 8, 2012!


Marni’s collection for H&M is all about freedom and experimentation, Marni prints and colours intended to mix and match together in a playful way. Everything goes with everything, making African prints the perfect companion to Bauhaus modernity, and sporty silhouettes sitting with more feminine shapes. The collection also includes a full range of shoes, bags and charming accessories to create a total Marni look at H&M. Meanwhile for men, Marni offers a fresh take on menswear staples, with a subtle use of print and a softened use of colour. H&M.com

All Good Things Come To an End

 Yikes.. What happened to one of my favorite spots?
Super Teacher Worksheets
 superteacherworksheets.com

They now are charging an annual fee of $20.00
 Here is what they said: (taken directly from their site)

What about the FREE worksheets?
There are still many free worksheets on the site. Click on any page and you'll find some free ones. Addition, multiplication, reading comprehension, writing, spelling, handwriting, holidays - each section still has some free worksheets. However, if you want full-access to the site, you will need to be a member.
How much does membership cost?
Twenty bucks for an individual membership.  Well, $19.95, actually. 
 That's a lot less than any other teacher membership site we've seen, and we like to think our worksheets are higher-quality too.
Don't you know that teachers don't make a lot of money?
Yes, I sure do.  I was an elementary school teacher for over ten years. We are trying to keep the site as affordable as possible. That's why the price is only $19.95. That's about $1.67 a month. A nickel a day. 


They really are one of my favorite spots! ugg...
I guess the twenty dollars will be well spent!

Have You heard About the Christmas Pickle?

The Christmas Pickle

The basic premise is this: on Christmas Eve, you lay out the pickle ornament in front of the tree with the milk and cookies for Santa. Then, Santa hides the pickle ornament. In the morning, the first person to find the pickle ornament receives an extra present from Santa! (candy,book,ornament)

IMG_3575
Pin, Post, and Poem all from a super blog:
 la buena vida!
                                           I have seen Pickles at: Target - Pier 1 - Macy's!
To start a tradition that will surely last,
here's the story about the pickle of glass.
The night before Christmas it's hung on the tree
Santa does it secretly.
And on Christmas morning when you arise,
the first to find it gets a sweet surprise.
A family tradition for all to share,
you'll look for the pickle year after year

Lauren Conrad's tips for black Friday shopping..




                                                posted from www. Lauren Conrad.com

Deals & Steals: The Best Black Friday Sales
After waking up from my post-Thanksgiving food coma, there is always one thing on my mind: Shopping! Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, deals and steals will be flooding the dates marked between November 25th and November 28th. Seeing as the holiday season goes into over-drive immediately after Thanksgiving, it’s a great idea to start shopping for everyone on your holiday gift list while sales are booming.


While sales are popping up everywhere this coming weekend, it can be a bit overwhelming. Which sales are worth it? How early should you go? Well ladies, you are going to need a serious plan of action. And that’s where I come in. Below, I have listed the best-of-the-best Black Friday sales that will give you the most bang for you buck…


Kohl’s. When the clock strikes midnight on Thursday, November 24th, Kohl’s will open its doors for one of their best sales yet. Kohl’s is offering crazy early bird specials for shoppers starting Thursday at midnight through Friday at 1:00 PM. Get 50-65% off on jewelry (!!!), 50-60% off women’s tops and sweaters and score $15 worth of Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend. This is a sale you’re not going to want to miss out on—especially since my LC Lauren Conrad line will be marked down as well. Yay!


H&M. Leave it to H&M to offer Black Friday fashion finds for as low as $5! The trendy clothing retailer will also be offering the first 100 people in line scratch-offs valued up to $300. So rise and shine early birds!


Best Buy. Notorious for their “Doorbuster” deals, Best Buy is a great one-stop shop for all the techy gifts on your shopping list. The sale starts at midnight on Thursday. If you can move after Thanksgiving dinner, this is a sale worth losing a little shut-eye over. (Pssst… One more thing. Between you and me, the Best Buy online sale starts on Thanksgiving in case you want to avoid the in-store crowds.)


Boutique to You. This is an online sale, but a sale all the same. Get 25% off site wide starting tomorrow, November 24th, with the code TDAY25 and 30% off on Friday, November 25th, with the coupon code BTYBLACK30. Be sure to check BoutiqueToYou.com on Monday too for their annual Cyber Monday sale! Did I mention they have an incredible selection of Paper Crown too?
