Five for Friday--It's May!

Wow--April just flew by!! I can't believe it is already May. ANDDD it's finally FRIDAY :) Time to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for FIVE FOR FRIDAY!

What a crazy week it has been!!

Phew we made it through three days of NYS Math state testing. My kids were definitely glad for it to be over today (as was I)!!! I was so proud of them for working so hard even though the math problems for them, were very difficult. I was proud of the effort they put forth. It was a stressful week..I had an eye twitch all week haha (lasted for 3 days...ironic).

I can't believe it is already MAY. This month is going to be very exciting for me :) This weekend I am home in Rochester and I have a really good friend's baby shower!! I also have another friend's birthday in 2 weeks and most importantly..my sister is getting married May 24!!! (22 days from now...but who is counting!)

This week has been a big week for me in the blogging world...I started my TPT store!!! Yes, I have had an account since last summer...and No...I haven't done anything with it until now. But that is all about to change. I cannot wait to get all my products onto my TPT account for all of you to see!!! I hope you enjoy :) I would appreciate it if you followed my store! Thank youuu. May---you are off to a great start :)

Stitch Fix...my new favorite phrase. My Fix #2 is coming in the mail on Tuesday!! Yayyyy Can't wait to blog about that. But this week...I finally got my Glossy Box for April. This is just like Birch Box or any other box...they send you 5 sample items, usually cosmetic, that you can try! I just love getting packages in the mail.


So the box comes in the mail like the picture of the left. I love seeing this pink and brown box on my doorstep!! It is definitely not as exciting as a turquoise label ...but it's still good!

So there is a box inside the shipping box. It is pretty in pink and tied with a nice bow.


Inside the pink box is the information card of all 5 sample products.

Don't forget to check out my OOTD page :)

Five for Friday!

 TGIF...wow I feel like this week flew by!!! I don't know if that is a good or bad thing...considering this weekend is Easter and then it is back to school! At least it's almost MAY right?!?! Today is the perfect day for Five for FRIDAY!

I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching make sure you check on their page and link up!! I have had a wonderful week back into the blogging world. I could not be happier...I seem to be addicted! Either writing a post or reading other blogs...it is all I have been doing this break..but I am really okay with it!

So after blogging all week...and finding so many more things I want to do and try from all these other bloggers...I decided to start an OOTD page..I know that many other bloggers have this as well, but if you don't know what it is is Outfit Of The Day. You can check it out soon on my page bar at the top of my blog and everyday you will see a new outfit combo. Hopefully you will see it as a place to get ideas on what to pair together and how to wear certain trend items! You might even see a link up on Wednesday for OOTD...stay tuned!
 Here is a sneak peak....Enjoy!

I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to be getting my first Stitch Fix next week. I will be blogging about it as soon as the shipment arrives. I know I am behind on this whole fix...but I can't help but think how PERFECT it is to incorporate into my blog for Style Closet. I feel like it is all I have been researching and talking about this week. Get ready for a post soon!

 April 21...3 days! Yes I am totally counting down...

These are two pictures from this week..Riley was not too happy with me at the beginning of the week..and then Charley. I have been blogging everyday instead of "dog sitting"... Apparently I haven't been paying much attention to them (even though I have!). So the other night..Riley and Charley climbed right into my lap to snuggle and pushed the computer right out of the way!! I didn't mind at alll... :)

 Time for some change....Ombre Hair....what do you all think!?!

I wish I could talk more about my classroom...but since I haven't blogged in awhile, I don't even have pictures of anything recent! That will change as soon as I get back to school on Tuesday!!! But in the meantime...I can talk about BOOK CLUB (which kinda has to do with my classroom/school...) There are about 12 teachers that get together once a month to eat, drink, gossip and discuss a book! I joined last year as a first year teacher and I am SO happy that I did! I have become close with many wonderful teachers! I look forward to it every month! Last month ( I didn't read the book in time but I am reading it now and LOVE it) we read Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. It is a definitely a must read! For the month of April we are reading Serena by Ron Rash. I will be starting that this week as well! I have it downloaded to my iPad already! 

 

I enjoyed linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching and sharing with you my 5 for Friday! I hope that you will link up as well! Don't forget to comment!

Five for Friday (first linky and sooo excited!!)

It's already Friday and I am loving everything that has to do with this blog! I could barely sleep last night because I wanted to blog today! I am learning so much already...even if it is day 2!! (I can be optimistic right?)

Five for Friday is today so I wanted to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching! Hopefully this goes okay!! But I thought this would be a great way to share what I have been doing this week, since it was my first full week off from teaching and to share with you how I got started with this blog!

First, I have to thank Christi Fultz again for this wonderful blog design. Please check out her at Design by Christi  If you are just starting a blog, or need a new design she IS the place to go!! She is absolutely WONDERFUL and really brought my vision to life!! Christi gives you a set time frame for when she will work on your blog, she keeps in contact with you and really listens to what you want, it was so easy and efficient. She was able to answer any questions I had, even beginner questions!You should really check out her work as well as her teacher blog here at Ms. Fultz's Corner

Number 2-- Summer Vacation is here!!! I have been on summer vacation for a week now and it has been a wonderful time to relax before I start tutoring and working at LOFT!! On Sunday I went to the Zac Brown Band Concert at Darien Lake in Buffalo, NY-- I love country music!! It was a great sunny day with friends to kick of the summer ( a couple of us in this picture are teachers so we were very happy about the break!)  This summer I will be going to many country concerts so I am sure you will be hearing a lot about those! What is your favorite thing to do over the summer? What other things are you going to be doing this summer?

 The two components of this blog are teaching and fashion-- so rightfully so, I have to mention something about fashion! My first week of Summer Vacation wouldn't be complete without a few "purchases" (as my sister and I like to call them)-- a few necklaces, 2 dresses and a new wallet!!  I love bright color statement necklaces either paired with a simple dress or a dress with a pattern! There is so much you can do this summer to mix it up and add a pop of color!

 This is a dress from Anthropologie and the necklace is from Francesca's The simple grey dress with the two-toned blue necklace is fun for summer! Whether you are just hanging out with friends, going out to dinner or out for the night--this will surely make a statement! If you need more color--add a skinny belt for an extra pop!

Both the dress and the necklace in this picture are from Francesca's! Don't you just LOVE the mint green with coral necklace!?! I can't wait to wear this combo when it finally stops raining!

I finally made my first trip to The Melting Pot with my friend Colleen on Monday. I CANNOT believe I have never been there before-- it was absolutely fantastic! Cheese and Chocolate--who wouldn't love that! The Melting Pot is a restaurant that serves fondue in a million different varieties. We chose the Fiesta Cheese Fondue (almost like Queso--which Colleen and I are obsessed with!) The waitress made the fondue in front of us and gave us many choices for "dippers." There were carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, bread, tortilla chips, and apples for our cheese fondue. Yummm! We then shared a flatbread which was to DIE for! For dessert (because you cannot go to a fondue restaurant without getting a chocolate fondue dessert) we shared the S'mores Fondue. You won't even believe the "dippers" that you could eat with this-- strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, pound cake, brownies, marshmallows covered with graham crackers or oreos, and rice krispie treats. Doesn't it just sound like HEAVEN! Take a look at the pictures below-- you should definitely check it out if you have The Melting Pot in your city!

I just got called into LOFT to work! So I had to cut the post short. Have a wonderful day!
