HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!!

Two years ago (we're not sure, but we guesstimate), our little Lucy Belle said, "Hello World- I am the best Jack Russell ever!" Then two months later, Lucy became a Harvard. I know I am a crazy dog person, but I just don't care. My dogs (my fur babies) are our family. Today, we celebrate our eldest. Let's take a stroll down memory lane...

The evening we got Lucy...

She was so small that she couldn't see over the grass. Her pirate look is courtesy of a stick :(

All 2.6lbs of her

She always loved to cuddle

Happy Pup!

When she was about 12 weeks

Little Lady Lucy

She always knew she was (and is) beautiful...

And she has always hated all things Auburn...

After her "surgery" (*Notice what was being created in the background!)

The first couch she destroyed...

Her first Halloween

Best looking Jack ever!

I caught her riding dirty...

Lucy Dog says, "Roll Tide!"

Lucy becomes a "big" sister!

Lucy and Winnie letting me know that it was time to give them water

Like her Mom, she hates to be cold

Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Lucy! You're family loves you so much!

Look for Less- Summer Casual

There are few things that I love more than a relaxed summer look. Having my summers off gives me time in the summer for lunch dates, shopping, and errand running. (What Husband? I am supposed be be getting a second job this summer!?) January Jones was seen sporting a fantastic summer look...

I decided to create my own summer casual look. Since I might have been accussed of spending to much money on shopping last summer (what ev), I worked really hard to create this outfit for less. Instead of each item being under $100, THE WHOLE OUTFIT IS UNDER $100!!! Yep, that included the shoes, hat, and bag. You're welcome.

Time is on my side

Style.com just did an article on great new watches. You can read it here.

Now for some fun watches on a teacher's budget. I love love love my the Formula 1 that Husband gave me for our first anniversary.

My favorite things about it are the chunky band and the bling around the face. However, sometimes I need some gold or color in my life. With all these watches $50 or under, I can afford to have them all! (Just Kidding!)

Sleepy Teachy

Good Morning!

That's right, it is almost 9:00, and I am just waking up. Why did I get to sleep in? SPRING BREAK! I am not going to lie, it is definately a major perk of being a teacher. However, this year, I have to have an adult Spring Break where I complete all of my grad school work that I procrastinated on for an entire semester.

Therefore, today I must keep it short. I have work to do!

It's Friday!

I'm sorry I called you a brat....

...because you work now! Yes, I am going on an imaginary trip to the beach next week and will need all types of goodies.
1) I need two swimsuits that I can mix and match with each other to create four looks.
2) I need a solid colored maxi dress to take me from day to night
3) I need an awesome tunic to wear on windy days/ when I feel fat
4) I need some big round sunglasses to shade my eyes
5) I need a bright skirt and a playful romper
6) I need neutral shoes to wear with a variety of outfits
7) I need beachy jewelry
8) I need a big tote to carry on the beach
9) I need a fun scarf
8) I need all items to be under FIFTY (WHAT WHAT!) bucks, because I am a poor teacher! (Will husband let me buy these things for my imaginary trip? Fingers Crossed!!!!)
