Hurricanes & not the good kind

Happy Monday everyone!

 So while everyone is heading back to work and getting back into routines...today I am sending Eli to his first full day of Kindergarten ( all along :TEARS:)

and preparing for a possible hurricane!

Yep you read that right.

The anniversary of Katrina (the worst hurricane on record for NOLA) is Wednesday

and we have a no so good looking storm churning in the Gulf!

 Talk about sucky Monday!!

So in honor or pure pissiness of it all my PINNING today is all due to Hurricanes!

Not the most happiest of topics, but I tried to keep it light!

 

 

 

1.- Funny but True

 2. Nola is greater than Hurricanes plain and simple 

3. Soul is Waterproof & so is the 504 

 4. Sesame St- Always there to help the Littles

 5. Curvy Girl Guide.com - Hurricane Preparedness & Jim Cantore

These probably need a little explanation-

1. I have so much laundry and planning to do...nope I'm here..

 

2. This shirt was made at a local store called fleurtygirl.net/ after Hurricane Katrina, just a reminder of the strength of the NOLA community.

 

3.Another shirt made by another local store dirtycoast.com/ after Hurricane Katrina. With all the flooding that went on it was another reminder that with all the water you couldn't take our soul- that would always stay "waterproof."

 

4.Sesame Street! God ya gotta love them! They are always there when ya need them! Always there to explain the scary stuff for the little guys, when the big people cant find the words.

 

5. Curvy Girl has a great guide for what you need to be prepared! She also makes the joke that if Jim Cantore shows up in your neck of the woods you are in BIG HUGE trouble! You should have already left and if you haven't its too late, hunker down and GOOD LUCK because no matter where this man goes...the storm is SURE to follow!!

This is a link to a previous post I have written about hurricane preparedness if anyone needs a refresher!

Sponsor Spotlight- Bree from The Thing About Joy!

Happy Sunday everyone! I have been dealing with "back to school" and "migraines" the two

DO NOT MIX WELL!

Sorry for the slacking here!

I do have a "precious" treat for you today though!

 I would like to introduce one of my lovely sponsors!

 

The oh so cute

BREE!

Hello lovely readers! My name is Bree and I blog at The Thing About Joy!



 I am a young twenty something Graphic Design Student, a newlywed, Sunday school teacher, oldest of 4 kids, and... I guess a lot more "titles." :))



 But if you really knew me... you'd know that I love COLOR. Lots of color. That is what inspires me. It inspires every design I make, everything I sketch, everything I create for my home... All because of how the color has inspired me.



 You'd know that I have had a hard time deciding what to major in in college. I was first going for a degree in Marketing, but realized I would end up in a job that I didn't like. I needed something that allowed me to be more creative! Something where I could make something every day, and work with people constantly. That is why I finally figured out I should go for Graphic Design. Now, school starts on Monday and I am so excited to learn more!! Where as before, I would not be excited for school, but instead would dread the long drive, huge classes, and boring subjects. I can't wait for Monday! Although, I will admit, the first day in class I always get nervous! I guess because of meeting new people, finding out if the teacher is nice or not... yeah, I'm a little nervous. :) But very excited too!



 If you really knew me  you'd know that I love being married. We've had our ups and downs, and school causes trouble sometimes... but I could not be more happy. I can't imagine not having married this man. November 21st will be our 2nd anniversary, and that country song is true... "And I thought I loved you then..."

 If you really knew me, you'd know that I doubt myself, but I push myself too. You'd know that I really hate running, but I love spinning. You'd know that I am a HUGE football fan, but I despise baseball. You'd know that I hate action movies, scary movies, or sci-fi... and that when it comes to movies I like feel good, happy, romantic comedies. Nothing sad. :)) I like to keep positive and happy, so why get sad?



 One of my favorite quotes that I like to remind myself of often, "Every Artist Was Wonce an Amateur." 



So, what will you find if you visit my blog?



 Lots of color - Inspiration - Art Journaling - Fitspiration Series - Crazy Stories - Things that are happening and inspiring this College Student, and the adventures she is finding herself in.



 I hope you stop by! If you do, leave a comment, I love meeting new friends.



 Have a wonderful Sunday!

Now everyone head on over and show Bree some Warm & Fuzzy love!!
Is she not the cutest?!!!

Me, Myself, & I

 

So here's the 411 with this fun linky party!

When visiting a new blog, what's the first thing you do?

Ya snoop around their about me page right?

 Don't lie. Ya know you do it!

So, your About Me is very important because it establishes who you are as a blogger which ultimately draws peoples attention and keeps them coming back to read your content!

Right? Right!

Well, Breanna from My Beautiful, Crazy Life is the mastermind behind this new link-up!

  Along with her 5 fabulous co-hosts!

Whispering Sweet Nothings

Confessions of a Graphic Design Student

Framed Frosting

Life of the Wife

For Love of a Cupcake

So I have revamped my All About Me page 

 so head over and see it for yourself and let me know what ya think.

If you are a blogger head over and link up your page too!

********

Here are the questions that we are all answering this week if ya wanna link up too!

*********

1) What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? 

I have always always always wanted to start my own preschool. If I knew I would not fail (and I had the $$$) I would start my own school, birth to five years old. It would totally be my dream. It would be THE school to attend, get into , and we would be the premiere! That's what I would do if I knew I wouldn't fail.

2) If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time?

Spend every single second with my boys. Brian's father was diagnosed with Brian cancer and within 6 months we lost him. It was devastating. I know that he spent all his time with us. I know that if I knew when I was going I would be with my children, going on trips, making memories for them to have in the future, and hopefully to share with their children in the future.

3) If a front page news article was written on you, what would the headline be?

Preschool Teacher writes a Craft Blog - Family thinks she's crazy!

4) What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who claim to stay out of drama but are really the ones who are always causing it.

5) What is your favorite chick flick movie?

HANDS DOWN- Sweet Home Alabama -

It's almost football time!!

GEAUX TIGERS!!

Now copy these questions, answer them for yourself, and go link up. It's fun!!

Happy Tuesday Y'all!!

Pinning Post - Tv Time

For todays PINNING post I thought I would leave you with two of my favorite favorite shows EVER.

I watch Friends re-runs every.single.night. on Nick at Night (does that make me old?)

I can probably recite the words exactly in time as the characters but that doesnt matter, I seriously, LOVE Friends!

 1. 2. 3.

"Could I BE wearing anymore clothes?"

"They were on a break? Who's side were you on?"

"I HATED Emily, the accent, the storyline, all.of.it. this quote sums me up perfectly"

I hope I am not alone when I say that I could watch SATC every single day and not get tired of it.

I have watched the 1st movie proabably a million times and no matter what I am doing, where ever it is in the movie, if it is on T.V. I am stopping to watch it. I love the movie!

My favorite episodes are the last season, I think its because they tied it up so neat.

Like a nice little package.

And oh swoon @ the pic on the bottom right...I love BIG!

1. 2.   3.

Loved this part in the first movie when they go through all of Carrie's clothes.

Aww..Carrie & Big!! In Paris!

I just love this pictures. PERIOD.

Happy Monday Y'all!

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

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
