Love...
One of the things I miss most about going back to school is the Today Show. It's my time to catch up, drink a chai tea, and relax before the others in my house wake up. Since it's Labor Day, I'm enjoying my summer morning routine!!
Loving...
My new shoes! I ordered myself a pair of Tieks as a back to school gift for myself. I love cute shoes and it's always a bonus if they're comfy!! I bought my Tieks in Metallic Pewter and I'm in L.O.V.E.
They are so cute, comfy and go with everything!
Here I am wearing my Tieks for "payday jeans" Friday. The top I'm wearing is Matilda Jane, another of my new favorites!
Thinking...
I have so much on my to do list! As I got ready to leave school on Friday I told myself to go straight home and conquer the bag. Of course I didn't. So now it's Monday and I'm feeling a little panicked!! Oh, well. It's not like it's going anywhere.
Wanting...
A fenced backyard!! My crazy dog is constantly leaving the yard to visit the neighbors or anyone else who walks by our house. We have never had this problem with any of our other golden retrievers. Moby is just so friendly!! It is such a pain to have to stay outside with him when all he wants to do is be outside. If we had a fenced yard, all of our lives would be so much easier. Speaking of Moby, did I tell you he's friendly? Here he is watching me play Hooked on Words. He also is so unaware of his size!!
Needing...
To plan ahead! I feel like I live day to day the first few weeks of school year. This happens every year and has for the last 20 years. You would think I would have some type of back to school plan for handling everything.
The three things I hope to accomplish this month...
1. I ran a marathon and gave up running. It's starting to show. My hope is to get back into a twice a week running schedule.
2. I never plan ahead (see Needing). I've decided to have a weekly M-F menu. Same dinner each night of the week, every week. I'm hoping this will help with stress and our health. We eat out way too much!
3. Finish a book! I started reading Gone Girl earlier this summer and still haven't finished! I WILL finish this book this week!
On another happy note, I finally finished a new product!!! I've had a list of jar activities to make for comprehension skills and strategies for months now. I completed an Author's Purpose Jar yesterday. You can check it out here.
(and the good thing is... it's free for the next 15 minutes!! Please leave some feedback and let me know what you think!)
I'm working on a Numeration Jar and Inferring Jar. Hopefully they'll be ready by the weekend!
I love those shoes! I will definitely be checking that brand out. That picture you posted of yourself in them is really cute! Good luck with the running, you can do it! That is amazing that you ran a marathon! I am training for my first 10-miler!

You're the fourth person (including myself) who is trying to meal plan! It's like back to school makes us forget how to cook! LOL! :)

I need to start planning a weekly menu as well. We do it every once in a while and then quit, but I know it saves so much time and keeps you from going out to eat as much. You'll love Gone Girl! I read it over the summer on the plane and was glued to it by the end. Crazy how many twists they put in!
