1. My husband & I celebrated our anniversary last week. It was a rare day, one for the record books: no kids, a movie, shopping, fine dining & wonderful local food. I’m still trying to figure what sort of herbs they put in this simple but divine tomato & cucumber salad served with local goat cheese. I really could have licked the bowl. It was so good.
Here’s a pic of the fun restaurant – in an old warehouse with high ceilings. It was a nice change from our normal Chicky Wicky outings.
2. Don’t hate – but I got a pair of TOM wedges at a local shop for 60% off! Love them! (if you have a local shop that carries TOMS, check them out – they might be marked down as well.)
P.S. Have you seen the new Cord style for Fall? They’re next on my list.
3. New fabric arrived today for more scarves!
Can’t wait to make some fun color combos with these!
4. She loves the camera & she can’t control herself.
5. I saw this idea on Tatertots & Jello’s round up for Back to school ideas & I loved it. It’s from Jac o’lyn Murphy’s blog. Both of G’s teachers love coffee, so it’s a win win for me. I’m a little late giving this to them, but I think a shot of “pick-me-up” is welcome anytime.
Btw, Sam’s Club has a double pack of Starbucks VIA for only $4.91!
That’s .49 cents a serving. Hello!
Here’s the one I made. I wanted something bigger so I could give it in a bag instead of a topper style. Feel free to print it out – just double click on the pic.
don’t forget…Fall Festival starts on Wednesday!!!
(well…probably more like late late Tuesday night 😉
I know many people are working on some Fall projects this weekend!!! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on!

THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
I love your new wedges!! I have them in red, but didn’t get them at such a steal, lucky girl! We have a TOMS store here, I go and drool over all the fabulous styles. It’s a little tiny hole in the wall shop, very cool. I love the cords, want!!!!
Wonderful pictures of Maddy, too cute!!
Love the color on your new shoes!Cute ideas for back to school ~ thanks for the printout 🙂
I love everything about this post especially the drool-worthy goat cheese pic and the TOMS. 🙂 What an awesome mom you are for putting together those cute bags for your kids’ teachers! 🙂
THOSE TOMS are on my list of things to buy. I AM IN LOVE 🙂
First of all, LOOOOVE the shoes!!
Second of all, my hubby and I had an awesome date this weekend, too! we do not have kids yet, but both have crazy busy work schedules. He owns a painting company and I’m a teacher, so we rarely see each other right now!!!! Totally can relate!!
Thirdly, coming from a teacher, the coffee is an awesome thoughtful gift even if it’s a week or so (or anytime) “late”. I am so pooped the first month of school so a pick-me-up and reminder that I’m doing great, is much appreciated! I’m sure your kiddos’ teachers felt GRATEFUL!!!! Way to go!!!
Um, because I’m local, I must know where you got the TOMS on sale. Do tell!
