This cute little number is on the way to me as I type this (or at least the order is being processed). I've had my eye out for a cute little spring dress for a while now. It helps that spring is really finally here, and hence the dress. I hope that it isn't so short that I can't wear it to school. I know this will be packed in my bag and headed to Barbados with me. Now I just need to work on some awesome accessories. What do you suggest?
Woah! Dinosaur planters! I think these are great. Not only do I want one for myself, I have a few friends I know who would totally dig having a dinosaur planter greeting them every day. Succulents might just be the perfect plants for Texas, now I just have to wait patiently to get my hands on one of these babies because they always seem to be sold out. How awesome is that?
How do girls manage with such a simple wardrobe? Is it all in the accessories? I know that I only wear about 1/3 of the clothes in my closet because I'm boring like that and seasonal. I wish I had the creative closet flair of many of my friends. What is your trick to spicing up your outfits?
I did it, I've organized a clothing swap and have already begun cleaning out my closet. When my husband went through his entire wardrobe and got rid of everything that he didn't fit into anymore I have to admit it kind of made me jealous. It's not every day that your spouse gets a whole new wardrobe (he totally deserves it - being down over 60 lbs. since August). Now I want to refresh my wardrobe and have my fingers crossed for a good turn out this weekend. What should I keep a look out for?
Happy Monday everyone! Hopefully your week is off to a great start.
Heading to a tropical isle makes me want a fabulous swim suit. I have a few nice suits in my drawer, but I'm evaluating the tan lines I'll have with those suits as well, something I'm not a huge fan of is a nice dress paired with swim suit lines. I wonder how a bandeau top would do in the waves? If we do get out into the surf I'll end up wearing a rash guard, so I won't worry so much about function at the moment and will focus on fashion. My only gripe is the price. Who decided that women's swim suits should be so expensive?!
I've started getting into lifting weights. I really like the way it makes me look and feel. I mentioned the weight loss kick in our house, but this is just a fun new exercise for me. My husband and I have been attending body pump classes at our gym and the guided routine to music covers all of the major muscle groups in just an hour. I am excited to shop for a new swim suit this year! What is your favorite way to exercise?

Yesterday I thought I felt good enough to go to work. I thought wrong. In the middle of writing on the board during my first period I started to get the fuzzy vision and knew that I needed to sit down. Sitting didn't do much for me, so I looked at my co-teacher and told her I had to go. After walking out of the classroom I promptly fainted, fell, whatever. The next thing I knew I was laying on the floor outside of my classroom with my co-teacher fanning my face with a notebook. Scary. My Dr. husband said that I was overly dehydrated and therefore my blood pressure dropped and I lost it. I'm just glad I didn't go down in the classroom. I didn't want my kids to see that. Being put in a wheelchair and taken to the nurse's office is rough enough. Today I feel fine again, but will be sure to let everyone know if I feel woozy again. Back on my feet (even with a minor sprain in my foot from how I landed). Happy Tuesday?
