Monthly Musings {August 2024}

 Happy Thursday, friends! I'm here to link up with Holly and Patty for Monthly Musings!

Here are the questions for August!

1. Do you meal plan?

This depends on my mood for the week 😂. Sometimes yes, sometimes nope.

2. Back to school traditions.

When I was growing up, we always went out to eat the night before the first day of school. We also got new school clothes and shoes. I loved that so much!

3. Clothes and supplies shopping.

Well, since I don't have kids, I'll do this for my clothes and supplies. Y'all know I love Mimi Seabrook and Nordstrom for all my clothes! 

As far as school supplies, I usually just get new flair pens from Walmart. I also love Tul notebooks and pens from Office Depot.

4. How I transition my wardrobe to fall.

Lots of basics!! Basic tees that can paired with shorts or jeans. Add a cardigan. BAM. My favorite outfit ever since 2016. Ha!

Short dresses that are long sleeved are also great to transition from end of summer to fall.

5. Anymore end of summer trips?

No more trips for us for this summer.

6. Do schools start before or after Labor Day?

The schools here (and when I was growing up) always start at the beginning of August.

7. Labor Day Weekend plans?

Put out the fall decor 😉.

8. White after Labor Day?

Yep. I threw all care out the window a few years ago and just wear white all year.

A sweater with white jeans is one of my favorite things to wear!

9. PSL asap or wait?

ASAP.

I had my first one this past Saturday ðŸ™‚.

10. Back to school tips.

I like to write down all of my assignments for the week and make sure to include due dates. I like to be able to cross things off of a list. It definitely helps me to stay organized!

Here's a look at my week this week!

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

    I am a huge fan of lists and crossing things off; somehow my boys all manage to keep their schoolwork and due dates in their heads... I could never do that!

    My transition outfits are the same -- a lot of t-shirts and cardigans.

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
