Confessions of a Shopaholic on a Non-Shopaholic Budget
Hi y’all, My name is Lindsey and I’m a shopaholic. Shocker? Not exactly. However, I definitely do not make the money or have the savings to be a shopaholic. Now it is time to start saving my money instead of spending it. As an adult, I definitely have some “major” purchases coming up in the future that I will need savings in order to afford without a struggle. We all just saw how bloggers posted left and right about the #nsale. I shopped it to. However, I will say over 3/4 of my purchases are going to be returned. I shop at Lilly Pulitzer, granted my shopping habits for there…

Teacher Tuesday: Organization
Hi y’all, Today’s post is all about organization for the teacher, but depending on what your career is, you might find it interesting as well. My first step is to find an organization system that works for you. I had seen multiple teacher’s organization systems thanks to a year and half as a TA, student teaching, and subbing across multiple schools.

Everything I bought for my classroom was $5 or under! I’m switching to Language Arts this year, so I knew I would need some additional storage compared to last year. I also bought some stuff for flexible seating. What really took the longest was I ended up buying Airpods, and I struggled…

Teacher Tuesday: 5 Must Haves for the Classroom
Hi y’all, So, I’m starting my second year of teaching in August! I’m still teaching 5th grade which I’m excited about. As I’m starting to plan things out for the new school year, I thought about all the things I really needed and the things I didn’t need. The items I ended up not necessarily needing: 1. Expo markers in colors. I ended up basically having a chalkboard with special paint on it to make it dry-erase. Colors don’t show up on it! 2. Teacher planner. I’m so glad I did not buy a super expensive planner because I ended up planning using Google Docs. I had an assistant and…

Hi y’all,I ended up being a little overwhelmed by the class I’m taking; however, I feel like I have it a little more under control. For today’s post, I wanted to bring to you simple, last minute 4th of July outfit ideas. I live in central Virginia, so it has been rather toasty here for about the past two weeks.

It is one of my all time favorite outlines that Lilly Pulitzer has ever done. It is…
