happy blogaversary!

Happy Sunday y'all!

Today I am celebrating my second blogaversary!

Two years ago today I wrote my first blog post :)

I started this blog while I was long term subbing in a computer lab class and had some extra time on my hands while I was in front of the computer for most of the day. Blogging quickly turned into a hobby :)

Blogging has become such a part of my life and such a blessing to me. I enjoy journaling my daily life and things that I'm loving :) Getting to know so many other women through the world of blogging is so great. Thanks for sharing your lives and so many creative ideas!

Thanks for following me these past two years y'all :) I look forward to many more years of blogging ahead!

Hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday and a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday y'all!

It's a beautiful day down in Georgia so it's easy for me to think of some things I'm loving on this gorgeous day :)

I'm loving that 196 of y'all linked up last week! Seriously y'all...it just brings a huge smile to my face :)

I'm loving that I only have a 4 day work week this week!

I'm loving that my old roomie/sorority sister/bridesmaid celebrated her birthday yesterday :) Love you little Sam!

I'm loving that we have a weekday baseball game tonight :) We're playing Georgia Tech so it's sure to be a good game!

I'm loving these cute dresses (as always, there are links under each dress!)...

top 2 tuesday...lessons learned!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

What a day it's been! Today was my Monday so it was hard getting up at 5:20 this morning :( We also had After School today so I was teaching little kindergarteners until 4:30 today. Then there was a baseball game at 6:00 but I left about 8 so I could come home, shower, and watch Glee! J stayed until the end though to see the Eagles win!

I decided to play along with The Undomestic Momma and her Top 2 Tuesday :)

Today's topic is lessons you've learned from your parents or grandparents.

As I thought about all the things my parents and grandparents have taught me, three things my grandpa always said stood out for me...

{one}

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. My Papa was such a wonderful man of God and I am blessed that he was such a role model for me on how to live a Christian life! He always said that the Bible is the only book you'll ever really need.

{two}

Find a job you love. As stressful as teaching can be, it is such a rewarding job! Kids say and do the funniest things that can always bring a smile to your face :)

{three}

Find a loving, Christian man to marry. I am so lucky that Papa got to meet J before he passed away. I wish Papa could have been at our wedding but I know that he was there on the happiest day of our lives :)

Papa, thank you for teaching me the most important things in life. I miss you each and every day! I love you!

Hope everyone has had a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Saturday y'all!

About a week ago, Britney at Sweet, Sassy, and Oh So Classy asked if I would like to add her Stella & Dot button to my blog :) I of course said yes!
