Stop and Smell the School Supplies!!

-
I am a TEACHER!
Always have been, always will be!
You can ask my brothers and sisters who were tortured into playing school
with me when I was just a little girl.

One of the things I miss most about teaching children is getting
to "smell" the school supplies.
You read that right--smell them.
There is just something that says "School is starting soon" when
you walk down the aisles of Target and smell the school supplies.

So today I indulged myself.
I walked the Target aisles and took a big whiff.
And then, I found these 3 delightful binders and bought them.
What am I going to do with them you ask?
Why recipe files of course!
Guess that means I have to COOK!
Oh, well, it will be worth it to have cute school supplies in my kitchen year round to
look at--or to smell!!

Happy Start of the 2010-2011 School Year!

Speaking of recipes, if you have your mac and cheese recipe saved electronically will you send it to me. My friend Holly would like it. Thanks! Kelly

I am not a teacher, but love to go into the stores when school is starting back. I am not sure about the new school supply smell...but I love the whole back to college smell. It is so sad that part of my life has passed. I guess Janet better hurry and go off to college so I can go shopping with her.

I need to get Bethany some cute binders. Maybe then she'll have a reason to cook as well! :) jk

I totally agree!! I got to take Joshua to get his fourth-grade school supplies last week, and I know I loved it more than he did. I was almost giddy...okay, I WAS giddy!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
