i heart teaching: reason #6

i was standing out in the hallway this morning greeting the kids as they came in.. .
one of my boys appeared, said "Good Morning!", walked into the classroom,
unpacked, opened the windows for me [he's my guy]
.... came back out and proceeded to tell me this. .


" I realized something 'psychological' last night.. . "
[yes, these are the words he used]
a.dorable.


" You know how dogs love you even if you are mean to them? 
Or you do something wrong? 
Well it's just like God.. .
Isn’t it funny how their names are just spelled backwards? "


i'm a lucky lady to have these kids in my life. every day.
very lucky.

TOoo much NOISE?!! !?

today when i woke up this scene popped into my head from Sunny in Philadelphia.
totally random.
Totally hysterical.
I laid there with Jayden,
my very own kitten
and laughed and laughed .. thinking of it.
enjoy.

before 11:59 pm today

The question .. .

by the end of the day, what would you wish to happen?

thoughts? .. .

open windows and my absence

clearly i've been out of the blogging loop for a while now 
i've been without internet for a bit. and in the midst of a move. 
so i'll start back with a post of all the windows i've kept open since my computer has last been running. 


these are things i didn't want to forget about: 
might as well share them with you. 


1. the designer:  ZARA 
loving these pants. i think i could LIVE in these. 
they come in an array of colors. and patterns.

2. Art House Co-op Tumblr >CLICK<

Creative Ideas from their Sketchbook Project. Visit their site to become involved.




3. A Deeper Story: Tales of Christ and Culture
Several of the bloggers I follow are co.authors of this site. 
I'm sure that's how I linked to it. This article, Accepting Trouble, in particular stirred something inside me. 
Definitely worth some visit time. 




4. Flea Markets, Garage Sales .. . cravings. 
I read this post from the Rusted Chain and immediately wanted to find a flea market to hunt down some treasures. 
Definitely on my to do list for this summer. 

5. My Style Pill ..  . 


Fashion love from a NYC personal stylist .. .magazine editor who knows her stuff. 

there are a few more windows still open in the dock below, 

but i've still not finished the tasks of the day and it's 10:47 pm

uh.oooh..

one of the top.ten.best nights of my life

if these walls could talk.. .

A little paint goes a long way. 
I've seen it transform rooms. 
making a dingy apartment feel like home... 


next weekend I'm moving. 
not a big move. 
not even a small move, really. 
I'm moving about ten feet, to the apartment next door. 
i can knock on its wall right now.
it's all about the amenities. 
with those extra feet i'm traveling_ i'm gaining a dishwasher, 
a washer and dryer and a full kitchen. 
with REAL countertops, not the square foot i'm dealing with now. 


i've painted the apartment i'm in now. and Love the colors. 
but i'm boring staying stagnant. 
i've been through every hair color, and length ... . 
why not try out different wall colors, and see what fits a new place?


it's cheap And easy. 


here are some photos, i've collected online over the past couple of months.

Clearly, these walls are white [which i can't stick with]... 

BUT it's the rooms i'm loving on. 

MAJORLY

I saved all the pictures, so I'm missing sources.
