Summer Recap

Monday, August 17, 2015

Summer is over. I can hear the tears flooding in and the "can't wait until summer!" starting any minute now.

This summer was a good one. There were ups and downs, but every teacher would agree that this off time is much, much needed. If you think teachers have too much time off, just sub for one day and you'll wonder how we aren't all jumping off cliffs.

I am really excited to get back in to the swing of things and this is our first full week back. Last week was like a soft launch; we were there, but not mentally. This week we are getting down to business.

But, before I can fully let summer go, I wanted to recap all my summer adventures.

We started off our summer with a week long cruise to Key West, Freeport, and Nassau. The unlimited food and escape from technology makes me want to go back now.



I went on a road trip with my father-in-law to help my sister-in-law move into her soon-to-be husband's house. We also retiled their bathroom and added a woman's touch to the previous bachelor pad.



I spent a week with my family in the Hill Country and they also spent time up here.


My Mom and I visited Magnolia Market.


I got to wear my wedding dress for the fifth time!


I sprinted hundreds of yards to be front row at a concert with my brother. Best. Night. Ever.





We showered my sister-in-law who is getting married this Saturday!.


We went to baseball games.



We spent time celebrating friends.


I visited my main man at work (swoon).


Other things I did that are not pictured:

- walked the dogs
- repainted some furniture
- cleaned, a lot
- mowed the lawn
- went to two bachelorette parties
- visited my grandparents
- painted pottery
- went swimming
- had lunch and dinners with friends

Cheers to the summer of 2015! 

Getcha Some

Friday, August 14, 2015

I'd say yesterday was like touching your toes in a pool to test out the water. Yes we were at school. Yes it was the first day back. Yes we are excited to start the year. Yes all our brains were fried by 10am. Getting back in to the school groove is comparable to training for a triathlon. Exhausting, mentally and physically. 

Just kidding. Those people are freaking not human and way cooler than teachers. 

Luckily I mustered up enough energy to pump out a post for y'all.

1. My best friend wore this dress to school yesterday and I instantly fell in love with it. Y'all, it was SO cute on her!! My favorite place is really killin' it in the dress department!

2. That same best friend introduced me to Trader Joe's Popcorn in a Pickle and holy yum. I might have "snacked" on half the bag. Get. You. Some.

3. I'm chomping at the bit to be able to wear this jacket! Come on cooler temps!

4. If anyone wants to buy me any of these (I'm not picky!) I wear a 7.5 and email me for my address. Thanks in advance. 


5. Chewy.com is like Santa Clause to dogs. The door bell rings and I pick up a Chewy package and you'd think Wrigley's paws are on fire. Bailey and him can smell their treats through the box and they literally go nuts. I have to admit, though, this package was pretty cool. 












Clearly they hated everything.

Happy Friday!

dress // shoes // sunglasses // earrings
Today is officially my last day of summer vacation. As in tomorrow I am no longer a stay at home wife who gets to sip coffee, watch morning talk-shows, and get pampered all day.


This summer has been all sorts of fun, but I am glad to get back in to the swing of school. Everyone can admit that the first day of school gives you all sorts of butterflies, right? Well, it is no different for teachers! I am so excited to see my new cherubs and have them make me laugh 24/7...or maybe me make them laugh/embarrass myself? We shall find out soon!

Now let's talk about this dress. I know y'all are going to not believe me, but I tried this dress on months ago at Target. I liked it, but opted to get these pants instead. I went to Target last week and while scouring the sale section I saw the dress again...marked down to $7.48. Score! Cheap-o Sarah was as happy as a pig in you know what. I will be wearing it to my cousin's beach wedding in Mexico next month!
