A Winner!

Wow! I have been really MIA lately, thanks to end of the school year stress. I even forgot to announce the winner of our pedicure giveaway. Oops! But... it's officially summer (at least for me) so here goes...

Happy Pedicure Day! My feet feel so soft and pampered right now.

 Plus, they look super cute!

Hope you all get some pedicure love this week too!

I usually go for pink, but I decided to be different and go red, especially since this is what I'm wearing tonight...

 

Go Bulls!



Stay tuned an entire week of theme days next week...

Go Bulls!

The Bulls are in the Eastern Conference Finals for the 1st time since the Glory Days (you know, Jordan, Pippen, 3peat, and all that jazz). And they looked pretty good last night in game 1 against Miami, once they stopped giving the ball away like it was their job at the beginning of the game.

Last year they made it to the play-offs (but didn't make it this far) and at one of the games (I was lucky enough to be there), they gave away these GIANT "See Red" shirts.

Seriously, the shirt is almost as wide as the table! You can see how big it is when I put one of my own shirts on top of it. HUGE! So I decided to remake it into something I would actually wear. (By now you may or may not know that when "I" decide to remake something, it really goes like this: Hey Mom, wouldn't it be great if we...)

So here's how my shirt went from something to stuff in the bottom of my t-shirt drawer to something to wear while cheering for the Bulls in the play-offs...

Step 1: Cut out the logo from the front of the old shirt and decide where to place it on the new shirt.

Step Two: Iron some Wonder-Under on the back. I had to put a pillow case over the top to make sure the logo wouldn't melt while I ironed!

Step Three: Mom sews the old shirt onto the new shirt.

(I really should learn how to sew!)

Step Four: Cheer your team on to V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!

GO BULLS!

Theme Day: Week Three (Plus A Giveaway!)

Hooray - only two more weeks of crazy 1st graders!

A Little Sad  - only two more weeks of fun theme days.

This week's theme day is one I am really looking forward to...

Pedicure Day!

(Check out my massively long 2nd toes on the feet in the bottom left corner)

Pick a day to pamper yourself this week and go get a pedicure.

If you don't have time to go, at least paint your toes a fun color at home.

And to help you all to share in the goodness of pedicures, I'm giving away a little pedicure set (which may or may not have been a teacher appreciation week gift - check out the front in the pictures) and a super fun bright pink nail polish called Boom, Boom!

To enter, leave a comment telling your favorite color to paint your toes. (I usually choose pink!)
For an extra entry, follow our blog and leave a comment telling us that you do.

{Giveaway ends next Saturday, May 21. Open to US residents.}

Theme Day: Week Two

If you're lucky enough to live in a place where it's finally starting to feel like spring, (Hello, Illinois) then this is the theme day for you. This week is a 2 part theme day...

Tuesday = Dine Al Fresco (either go out or make yourself something and eat it on your porch)

Wednesday = Eat your leftovers for lunch (so make sure you get enough the night before)

Have Fun!

And stay tuned for this week's theme day...

New Earring Day!

Today was the first official Theme Day 2011, and I FORGOT! I went to school today wearing some regular old (fake) pearl earrings that I wear all the time. Sad.

At least I remembered in time to stop on the way home from work and get these sweet little owls (for some reason, I am really into little birds right now):

Cute, Right?

Here's the rest of my outfit from today. It's kind of a boring outfit - much improved by the addition of the new earrings!

Sweater & Tank Top: Ann Taylor Loft

Jeans: Banana Republic

Earrings: Charming Charlie
