Currently AUGUST {{YIKES!}}

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S AUGUST!!!  To help soften the blow of my summer slipping away...I'm linking up with Farley over @ Oh, Boy 4th Grade for August Currently!!

// LISTENING // 

Picture
Grayson is easing back into his school routine so that when I go back it isn't too much of a shock {we've had a pretty care-free summer!}, so today I'm camped out at my favorite...STARBUCKS, getting some work done. They are rockin' some seriously awesome retro tunes in here, & I'm just groovin' right along.  PS: Have you tried the Justin's dark chocolate PB cups @ Starbucks.  O-M-G!!!!!

// THINKING //

Picture
Sometimes you just HAVE to unplug and stop multi-tasking. I'm sure we've ALL been working like crazy to prep for the TPT back to school sale and also for going back to school ourselves. After way too many late nights and over-multi-tasked days.....I stopped myself and did NO WORK this weekend. I just enjoyed my family and the amazingly gorgeous weather. Don't forget to PACE & take time for YOURSELF & your FAMILY!!!

// B2S RAK //

Picture
We often think about RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) around holiday time, but RAK-ing doesn't need to stop there. B2S time is a fab opportunity to make your colleagues & children's teachers feel all warm & fuzzy inside. Let's face it, B2S puts everyone a bit on-edge, and whether it's picking up someone's favorite Starbucks drink, a fun goodie back, or just LOADS OF CHOCOLATE and/or CAFFEINE...we all love a good pick-me-up when we're getting back into the swing of things.  I'll be writing some B2S Blog posts with more ideas and photos for making your teammates and colleagues feel cool just in time for back to school! {{STAY TUNED}}

// LOVING //

Picture
Summer has finally decided to show up here in Chicago-land! Last week, over the weekend, and even throughout this week, we are set for gorgeous weather: sun, perfect heat, & a just-right breeze. At the end of the month...when I'm in a NON-air conditioned room with 20+ sweaty 4th graders, I won't be loving this heat so much, but for now...I'm going to soak up every last drop.

// WANTING //

Picture

MMMMmmm, a break at Starbucks with a tea and chocolate sounds like heaven! Glad you were able to get some work time. I agree with the idea of celebrating children's teachers too! Everyone needs some love! You have a beautiful blog!

Cali,

Thanks so much for reading and commenting! You MUST try those dark chocolate PB cups (if you're not allergic to peanuts;-)!!!! Thanks also for the compliment on my blog. I designed it myself, so that makes me feel really great!

Enjoy your day, and come back for more posts!
Cheers,
Lindsey
