Mid-October makes me want to accept that it’s a new season, though I always miss summer. I am ready for Fall outfits and cozy weather… if California will get on board and drop the temperature. Here is what I’ve been loving so far this October.
To play in my car with the windows up and the A/C on haha. At least I can pretend it feels like Autumn outside.
If you are hanging out in SoCal you need to have some places to eat, and lucky for you I spent the summer doing just that. From Palm Springs to Laguna Beach and some places in between I’ve got you covered. (Check out my SoCal Tourist post for things to do!)
March flew so quickly that it’s actually the middle of April now. AH! But here is the best of it 🙂
As a kickoff for our Jogathon, we had a BMX show for the students, and some of us teachers got jumped! One of my students even hugged me after saying she was happy I was still alive. Meanwhile, another went “I thought, eh see you at the hospital I guess” HA!
An extra day in February gives me the extra wiggle room to help get a blog post out without feeling last minute. Phew. This month went by so fast. I blinked and now I have to change my classroom bulletin boards. (The worst moment of the month, yuck)
While it was a bit crazy I also got to spend a week with a college friend who I haven’t seen in almost two years so it was awesome! Yay to February break. Here are some of my favs from the month!
And just like that month 1 of 2024 is gone. A whirlwind of a month jumping back into another semester of teaching, the end of the holidays, and lots of SoCal rainy days. Let’s just say the first week after break having no outside time is NOT conducive to calm, attentive classroom behavior. Ha.
A new series I am adding this year is Monthly Favorites! (Thanks Melissa for the recommendation *waves*) Anything from random things I’ve bought that month to interesting trends on Social Media can be discussed. So tune in every month for something new!
2023 crawled and flew at the same time. Now I’ve blinked and we are in the middle of January 2024! How crazy is that? To start the year let’s take a look back at 2023 Highlights and talk about some goals for 2024!
and was surprised with a Downton Themed Birthday outing you can read all about it here
In honor of my Tio’s birthday I thought it would be a perfect day to discuss the latest San Diego Follow My Fork day! If you are new to the blog, my uncle runs an Instagram account called Follow.My.Fork (which you can find here) where he posts all about the really yummy food he eats, mostly around his home in San Diego. He always takes me and my brother on food outings and this last one was my belated birthday gift.
We always do at least a 3 course outing and this was no exception.

Or as close to it as you can get in Southern California, which is apparently in Pasadena.
I turned 24 this weekend. A very strange feeling as I told my cousin, I still feel like it was just yesterday we were playing Hide the Wii remotes on my 13th birthday but here we are. My mother likes to say I have Peter Pan syndrome so the past few years of birthdays realizing I am, in fact, growing up have been very bittersweet.
Continue readingWhen Halloween sneaks up on you and you realize that you have yet to figure out a costume. No need to panic. Shop your closet. There are a ton of costumes you can put together if you just get a little creative.
So step right up and I will show you how I shop my own closet to put together 5 Last Minute Halloween Costumes.
For the blog this week I thought it would be fun to do a challenge. Way back in my sophomore year of High School, this same friend wanted to dress me for a week. (I swear it was the week I got a compliment on my outfit every single day. Since I was wearing something other than a tee, flannel, or sweatshirt with my jeans.) Fast forward about 6 years and she is now a fashion student and I thought it would be fun to have her try and dress me for a week again!
The catch with this challenge this time is I don’t have a full closet of clothes in my dorm and she couldn’t bring me anything. We Facetimed before the week started to compile the list of clothes and the WIFI did NOT play a helpful role in this matter. I think the call dropped no less than 10 times.
