It’s that time of the year-time to find the stocking stuffers. I don’t know about you, but I have the hardest time with stocking stuffers! This year, I found a few things that are great for a variety of people (and all under $10)! I’ve done gift guides on here in the past, but this year, I did two different ones on tiktok. This one, I feel like deserves a special, permanent spot on the blog. Small gifts and stocking stuffers are something everyone needs.

It’s that time of the year again-wishlist and gift guides galore! I’m honestly not sure I’ll be doing gift guides this year. They’re time-consuming, and I want to make sure that y’all have quality posts over quantity. However, I do want to share what’s on my wishlist in case y’all want some ideas. This year, my wishlist is probably the shortest it’s ever been, as well as the most practical. To be quite honest, I had a really hard time putting things on my wishlist.

School supply shopping is in full swing! States are having their annual tax-free weekends and the smell of school starting is in the air. One thing I’ve noticed this year is how news sources say that the average American will spend over $800 on school supplies. As a 5th grade teacher, I have never asked families to spend more than $30 (of necessities, I realize things like Clorox wipes and tissues cost more when added with their school supplies). So, to me this $800 is extreme, and honestly almost feels like an attack on teachers. However, I can say that no teacher in public k-12 education is asking for your…

Living a healthy lifestyle is easier in 2022 than ever before. However, those lifestyle choices can be HARD. Growing up, I did 3 sports throughout high school (lacrosse, field hockey, and horseback riding) whether as a player or coach. I’ll be honest, in the past year or so I’m not super motivated to be healthy. I’m not sure if this is because I had knee surgery almost a year ago or if I just am not motivated. I bought a spin bike to help with my knee rehab, and I love spinning. I just can’t get myself to go downstairs to do the workout. Again, I do not pay for…

Y’all, it’s time for a little lemonade date. Lemonade dates are my version of a coffee date since I can’t have caffeine. This is a time for you and me to catch up! My last post was published on April 8th…whoopsie. I will say though, that these dresses are great for more than just Easter. So let’s get into this lemonade date. Things I’ve Accomplished this Year Finishing grad school and I walked the Lawn! Finished my 4th year of teaching. Applied to renew my teaching license and applied to add my Reading Specialist (and Master’s Degree) to my license. Focused more on my side hustle (check out my TPT…

The Sephora Sale is finally here to shop for everyone! I have a hard time buying makeup since I’m so pale; however, the Sephora sale includes everything in their inventory. Plus, with Sephora, if you have one nearby, you can order to pick it up or shipped to you for free! I am picking up what I can, but a few items have to be shipped due to availability. My Sephora Sale Picks Tula Resurfacing Toner | I’ve mentioned before how much I love Tula products. Getting them at a discount is HUGE. This is normally $42. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer | This is a new product to…

Gratitude: the quality of being thankful. Wow, I will be the first person to say that I have not been thankful or even thinking of things to show gratitude for recently. But, I’m changing this. Since July, it’s been really hard. I had knee surgery that my recovery did not go as I expected. The doctor told me I wouldn’t be on crutches. I was on crutches for around a month. I wasn’t prepared and then that ended up making the start of my school year extremely difficult. However, I do have a lot of things to be grateful for, especially considering the current state of the world. I wrote…
