A List

These are the things that Barney is currently sleeping on top of:

- The bag that my Lands End Canvas dress came in

- The remote for the DVD Player

- Two 2-pound weights

- A teacher supply catalog

Sometimes I Ask Myself...

"What would Betty Draper wear?"

I think this cute dress from Mango might make the cut.

A Target Look-Alike

I finally ordered the Lands End Canvas Fit and Flare dress that I had been admiring forever.

On sale! With free shipping!

But, I also found a very similar style at Target for about 11 dollars less than the sale price of the Canvas dress.

It is called the Mossimo Black 2fer Tank Dress, and right now it's only available in an extra large.

I'm going to keep an eye on it to see if other sizes come back into stock, because it wouldn't be bad to own both, right?

Paperglitter Printables (Say That Three Times Fast!)

Once, when I was 11, I won a year's supply of Diet Coke, and that is still the coolest thing I have ever won in my life.

But, a close second? The gift certificate I won to paperglitter's Etsy shop!

There is so much cuteness, all in PDF form, so you can print the items you buy as many times as you want.

You can also check out Linnette's blog, for a bunch of free printables, including the cupcake toppers I used for Father's Day.

Make-Up Monday: Tokidoki Pittura Brush Set

Holy moly, how cute is this Tokidoki brush set?

While I don't need new brushes, I just want to have them tucked into my make-up bag to brighten those mornings when I don't want to get out of bed.

Making Water Taste Less Like Water

Because it is a trillion degrees outside, I have been trying to drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

The only problem is that water is boring.

So, I have been buying these flavor packets to shake up in my water bottle. My current favorites are these little packets of crystallized lemon and lemonade:

The best is the raspberry lemonade, because it is both delicious and pink.

Two Future Etsy Shop Owners

When I came home from summer school, I had Mr. Kinne snap a picture of my new accessories:

One of my kiddos made me an awesome flower headband, and another student made me a kick-butt necklace.

Yeah, I've got connections.
