life lately according to my iphone

i cannot believe that october is almost over. birthdays, both mine and my sweet little niece (a very happy first year of life to her) have come and gone. fall slowly decided to make her presence: leaves changing, pumpkin-flavored-everything took over foods and drinks alike, and weekend mornings spent drinking coffee and eating muffins with boyfriend became somewhat of a tradition. 

leggings, boots, and scarves have been brushing off the cobwebs and make such wonderful appearances on a daily basis. layering is back and better then ever.

and school - the first marking period is over! my mind is boggled at how fast time is flying by.

i cannot believe that october is over.

which means that - in my mind - the most wonderful time of year is approaching. i said i would hold off on christmas music until november 1st and i have held up my end of the bargain (except for that brief lapse of time during a very long drive to new york, and by all rights, it was boyfriend's idea). if life could get more hectic it is about to, and i simply cannot wait.

to all of those in new york, new jersey, and other areas greatly impacted by hurricane sandy, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

lately

life in all of it's iphone photo glory, from morning coffee and first birthday parties to reuniting with girlfriends and fall finally making its grand entrance.  welcome back october.

little bouncy green guy hanging on my desk.

insta-outfit: fall colors with a touch of leopard.

too soon?

insta-outfit: first sweater-wear of the season.

insta-outfit: old navy, j.crew, and a tough more leopard.

little bear ready for her first day of the cabin.

rest in peach, gingerbread cake.

making caves for my bears, math lesson 101.

life is still making a fool out of me right now. some day soon i think i will finally get the hang of it. 

until then,

p.s. for all you mommas, soon-to-be mommas, aunties, or lovely ladies who like to shop for those little sweethearts in your life, check out my sister's etsy shop, Nuggets of Love, over here. she just opened it up and i'm sure you will just die over her sweet headbands and clips. so proud of you sissy!

iSpy

iSpy with my little eye, the typical tuesday instagram post.

with some little lovelies that give you a glimpse (just barely) of my life as of late.

 

 

 

 

  

hot pants, so wha?

planning, planning, planning, oh yeah and eating dinner.

finally - pumpkin spice latte numero uno of the season. (and a wonderful breakfast and catch up with my roomie)

royal blue pants and citrus colored cardigans.

open fields, wine, and friends.

my favorite way to spend a sunday afternoon, with my favorite man.

 

i do believe this about sums it up as of late. my life is consumed by my job - as it should be for every first year teacher. and might i add, i am loving every second of it. so of course some hot pants are in order to make it through the day. (can't forget about keeping it stylin')

and this past weekend consisted of a whole lot of seeing long lost friends who i've seriously missed for months now. every girl deserves to have late breakfasts with their favorite coffee and roommate and early fall evenings in a beautiful atmosphere.

and a man like mine. boy does he ever knock my socks off. (no pun intended if you take in to account the picture). sunday's with him...every girl should be able to have sunday's like i do with him.

 



iSpy with my little eye

life lately, according to my instagrammed photos.
(on a day that is other than tuesday, breaking yet another promise or routine.
and giving my type-a personality a run for it's money).

 

 

 

 

 

 



the best way to wake up in the morning.

and one of the best ways to fall asleep.

pictures from 2010 make me miss my best friend.

and wreaths made out of layers of crayons make me miss other best friends even more.

my first grade team reppin' football attire.

the life of a teacher (and this is an understatement).

 

 

i've been slacking.

oh have i ever been slacking. and procrastinating. and spending countless hours behind my little desk in my first grade classroom. i don't hate it. but i do hate neglecting my blog.

but sometimes curling up in bed and falling asleep takes precedence. like every night.

and boyfriends, and friends, and myself do on weekends.

i'll figure out it, i promise. because life is all about balance.

even if i'm hanging on by a thread with just a few fingers while juggling multiple oranges.

i'll get the hang of it.

yummy leftovers from boyfriend's momma.

bright and sunny reupholstered chair.

"it's what teacher's do, carrying things in boxes."
spending my evening crawling after my niece = priceless.

congratulatory ice cream cake from DQ.

like grandpa like grandaughter.

best breakfast buddy in town.
