Secrets on Saturday

1. I am COMPLETELY & TOTALLY overwhelmed with the start of school. I feel like I need to be in 3 places all at once. Things will work themselves out, but I don't know when or how!! I just wish that would happen quickly.

2. I am in COMPLETE & TOTAL denile about the fact that Eli is starting Kindergarten next week. I {know} he's going. We have bought supplies, uniforms, lunch box, all the good stuff. But I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that he is going to a REAL school where he knows no one and neither do I. (He's always been at a school where I work)

3. I keep finding myself stuggling to find time  & things to blog about. Sure I could write about what I wore everyday but do y'all really want to read that? I also feel like I have no time to sit down and write anything of importance, I dont wanna write about insignificant things day after day.

4. I do have two awesome giveaways going on for the next two weeks so even if I have nothing of importance to tell you and I am only posting cute outfits and stuff about football...make sure you come back Monday for Pinning, I will always do that...

This weeks giveaway is from JUNIEBLAKE...so make sure you are back here on Monday...


Happy Saturday Y'all!!

Kindergarten Testing....we made it through


Photobucket

So today was Eli's Kindergarten testing.
Did I "know" he was going to do great? Yes.
Did I still have anxiety? Yes.
Did I still have him naming every letter we saw? Yes.
Was I still asking him letter sounds? You betcha.
Was I asking him to sequence things? You betcha.
Was I asking him to rhyme words? Yep.

Why was I so freaked out about this? No clue.

Do I know that some children enter Kindergarten knowing little to nothing except what they learn from television? Sad, but yes.

Do I know this first hand? Again, sad but yes.
 ( remember I teach Pre-K & K)

My big boy was prepared for Kindergarten testing because
he went to a 3 and a 4 year old preschool program.
I made sure he knew letters, numbers, colors, the basics, as he entered Kindergarten.
All the other stuff was lagniappe which I totally credit his Pre-K 4 teacher KENDALL NICHOLS
(Yep, I just wrote out her name on my blog- oh the horror!! LOL )I'll tell her tomorrow :)

I was so nervous but he did it all, answered all their questions, stumbled here and there and if he didn't know something he just said,
I don't know.
And I am A-OK with that.

Now two Mondays from now when he begins his first day at a school where he knows no one and I cant get to him ask me again how I feel because right now I am so proud of my boy. On the 27th I will be a WRECK!!



Happy Thursday Y'all

Navy Obsessed...

So with going back to school recently,
I have been obsessed with finding outfit inspiration from Pinterest.
As I was going through my " "Things I would Love to Wear but Probably Cant Afford" board,
 I realized how obsessed I am with Navy.
It is very obvious when looking at many of the outfits I have pinned.
Here are just a few to brighten your day.
Each outfit has just the right pop of color. Can't wait to try each of these outfits out.



All outfits are found via users from polyvore.com
6 & 7 are both from anthropologie.com

1. Navy & Orange  2. Navy & Lime  3. Navy, Yellow & Lime  4. Navy & Cream 
5. Navy & Yellow 6. Navy Stripes 7. Navy & A Bow  8. Navy & White

Happy Saturday Everyone!
 Today is the 2nd Saturday in a series here at Warm & Fuzzy.
I am going to be spotlighting my sponsors, last week was the ladies from The Chirping Moms,
 and the weekend I give you
 
JENNA, from It's Just Called Spicy
 
 
 
 
 
**********************************************
 



Hey there Warm & Fuzzy Readers!


I'm Jenna (on the right) & I blog at It's Just Called Spicy!


Thank you so much to Lauren who is letting me guest post on her blog today! & Nice to meet you all!





Just thought I'd share a picture of me and my sweet handsome husband!





Today, I thought I'd share one of my most favorite recipes!


You see, I'm pregnant with a little baby boy who is expected to arrive at the end of September.


And I've had some crazy pregnancy cravings...


so a few weeks ago I made some soft serve ice cream from BANANAS.


Yes, if you have a Pinterest, you know what I'm talking 'bout. Delicious!





So you want the recipe? Here's the one I used: 




: this makes enough for 2 to 3 people.


Ingredients:


[need food processor/blender]


4 Bananas (cut up and frozen)


3 heaping teaspoons of Cocoa


1/8 cup of milk


2 teaspoons of Peanut Butter


1 teaspoon vanilla


2 teaspoon of sugar/honey/any sweetner you choose





Directions:


1. Cut up your bananas and freeze them. 


2. The next day put them in your food processor or blender & Blend well!





3. Then add the rest of the ingredients and continue to blend until SMOOTH.





4. Then pour in your favorite serving dish... and Enjoy!





Yummy.





Now a 10 fun facts about myself:


1. I love blogging and recipes are my favorite posts but my blog is not completely recipes. But, you can check out some of my Favorite Recipes here!


2. I'm somewhat addicted to Pinterest... You can follow me here.


3. I'm married to the man of my dreams and we are expecting a sweet baby boy at the end of September! So excited and ready for his arrival!


4. I have been craving Oatmeal Cream Pies like no other.


5. My favorite Summer Olympics Sport to watch has been gymnastics! Go USA!


6. I have a weekly Link Up Party on Thursdays on my blog! I'd love you to stop by and Link up your favorite post here.


7. I wish I was a morning person, but unfortunately, mornings are not my thing.


8. I have a funny story about how much blog was named here. Let's just say my nephews are cuter than yours!


9. My favorite sport is baseball and although we live in FL, we root for the Baltimore Orioles... My husband loves them!


10. I'd love you to stop my blog and introduce yourself! I follow back!





That's it for me! Thanks again Lauren for letting me guest post!

It's Ok....

Its Ok Thursdays
 
 
 
It's OK that its already Thursday and I have gotten 2 of the 239,734.840 things accomplished on my To-Do list this week.
 
It's OK, that I haven't folded any of the laundry because the clothes are clean, they just aren't folded.
 
It's OK, that tomorrow is only the 2nd full day of school and I feel like its the 100th.
 
It's OK that I have been doing great on my diet, but I had a cheeseburger & fries for dinner.
 
It's OK that I am watching "Something Borrowed" for probably the 100th time because Collin Egglesfield is SO HOTT!
 
It's OK that I have pictures and a tutorial to write but I am procrastinating.
 
It's OK that it's only 9:30 pm and I'm going to bed early!
 
Goodnight Y'all!!

I feel like it just started.

My Eli is going to Kindergarten in just a few week ( see Thursday post for more about that)

Where did our summer go?
Today I am linking up my favorite pins from my School Ideas & Special Education Board.

I have all sorts of ideas, crafts, organizational ideas, and general snarkiness as well.
I've pinned a few of my favorties just in time for back to school!
Hope y'all enjoy!



Left: The room is always a little disorganized but its ok.
Left Top: Teaching PreK Organized Chaos!
Left Middle: It's not about the money- never has been, but it would be nice for others to realize our worth!
Left Bottom: Again, it's never been about the money- it's always about my littles!







Left: In Kindergarten we Fill each others buckets- so I will be giving out Warm & Fuzzy's this year! {LOVE} this!
Right Top: Don't Make Me! ;)
Right Middle: One of our Class Mottos- you can find this necklace on Etsy
Right Bottom: Another Class Motto





Top Left: Is this not the face of a winner?
Bottom Left: Because everyone thinks teachers play all day, right?
