Oh, if only unicorns were real. Here’s some unicorn love for you. All images were found here. Have a great week, darlings!
Family means everything to me. We’re a motley crew but we’re thicker than thieves. Today marks a very, very important day: the birth of the one and only Laurie, my little sister. We’ve had our share of mega fights but I’d slay dragons for her. I used to get so frustrated that she liked everything I liked or wanted to do all the things I did but I’ve finally grown up to see how lucky I am to have her as a sister. She’s my best friend and partner in crime.
Happy birthday, to the sweetest girl I know.
Here’s to more adventures together. :) Love you, sister. I’m beyond proud to be related to you.
one of the happiest days ever. a beach and love, a winning combination.
Sorry for the absence. Just saying I was “busy” would be the understatement of the year. But I’m getting caught up!
For a late miscellaneous monday post, I thought I’d share some fun images. I am a big fan of typography. I love that art and fonts can combine. Pretty words – my favorite. :)

Early bedtime for this super duper tired teacher. Ciao, bellas!
Hello, all.
No “miscellaneous monday” today due to the fact that I’m still working on my gigantic pesky paper for my class tomorrow night.
I promise that you will NOT want to miss the belated miscellaneous post – look for it around Wednesday. :)
Two things that would probably make the writing process easier:
1. Watching this favorite from high school – my sister and I could literally quote it word for word:
2. A “Where the Wild Things Are” cupcake.
(both images from here)
(In all reality, both of those things would be highly distracting…just like blogging.)
Back to work!
Have a splendid week!!

I excel at putting off tasks…like writing this paper.
Back to pounding my head on my laptop.
Meet Tilly.
My roommate for the past year and a half, adopted from a shelter.
She’s quirky and sweet.
She randomly tears ALL the covers off my already-made bed. She whines and licks my face if I don’t wake up to my alarm clock. And she runs large circles for the first ten minutes whenever we visit the dog park.
Completely lovable and unmistakeably one-of-a-kind. :)
This little post idea was borrowed from another blog. Just another random way to organize some random thoughts and waste random time.
5 Things I am looking forward to:
The weekend, warm weather so I can take Tilly to the dog park, finishing the huge theory paper hanging over my head, our wedding, and getting my new camera!!!
5 Things I did yesterday:
Ran 5 miles, went to a professional development conference on co-teaching, enjoyed some yummy Wendy’s chili, battled some wicked heartburn (from previous action), and watched some Olympics with the boy.
5 Things I wish I could do now:
Lay on a warm beach, save some of my students from their home-life, lose the last few stubborn pounds, get a soy misto from Starbies, and go hiking with my dad!
5 Places I’d like to travel:
Hawaii (with my soon-to-be hubs), back to London, England, Seattle (coffee is on my brain), Australia (because Troy wants to go), and Boston (to see the BoSox play).
5 Cute things I’ve found online lately:

“Very Tiny Lovebirds” Necklace by Joanna Rutter on Etsy

How cute is this?! I have to admit that I’m excited for Toy Story 3. I was always a fan but I was pumped after I watched the trailer.

Um, rainbow pancakes? YES, PLEASE.
Found on Green Wedding Shoes, one of my favorite blogs, this little handmade board of nails and string is a-mazing. Done by Kyle Read over at Behance. You better believe that I’m going to try to reproduce something similar for us. “Try” being the key word. :)
Come on, weekend, get here quick!
xoxo.
Here are some photos from my recent shoot with little Maddy, Beau and Suzie’s new bundle of pure joy.
I often used the healing brush, appropriately named for this occasion, to cover up the tiny scratches she gave herself. Though her fingernails are smaller than my eyelashes, she managed to do a little damage to her beautiful baby skin. Otherwise, in so many ways, this family was a dream to photograph. :) So fun and so beautiful. Thanks again, Carlson’s!
I’m hoping to UPDATE my Gray Door site this weekend!
Ciao, bellas!
I’m loving the site Polyvore.
“Mix & match products from your favorite stores.
Shop looks created by the web’s largest fashion community.”
Here is my little trial collage.
I’m excited for sprrrriiing. :)
Random thoughts for the day:
- I rocked my exam tonight. Take that, literacy theories and practices.
- High School freshmen should be quarantined…just for now, I guess.
- The grapes available at Giant Eagle right now are a-mazing. Yum.
- And I can’t get enough of She & Him’s new song “I Can Hear Music.”
Happy Tuesday!
