School Supplies for Us Adults

I had such a bonehead moment last week. I was walking through the store, and it struck me that all the school supplies were out. Why are all the school supplies out?

Oh yeah… because it’s August.

Ergo, it’s back to school!

I’m sorry, when did it become August?

There’s a part of me that really misses school. I can remember being that nerdy kid who was excited for school to start in September. I would pack up my backpack with all my supplies, and know that I was going to fill my notebooks with all kinds of great information. I was always determined to make the honor roll, and be that much smarter than I was the year before.

Even though my formal schooling years are behind me, I still enjoy learning new things, as well as the work that I do in my job. And, what is more fun that going to work and getting to use super fun supplies?! I decided to round up some fun office supplies below for us adults.

Who said the kids get to have all the fun!?

Everyone needs a fun mug to have their morning coffee or tea in!

Love these rose gold scissors.

What makes meetings more than than using a fancy pen to take notes? I also like these!

I can always use another journal. And, my inner child loves this one!

You'll also want this super cute coffee cup planner clip!

I desperately need to replace my lunch box. I'm really considering this one.

Oh my goodness, this mouse pad is awesome!

If you're like me and you're always cold, check out this scarf and throw to help keep warm.

And, this cashmere wrap looks so lux!

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall. It’s like a switch was flipped. The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter. I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August. Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. And, it was amazing. I’m so excited that fall is here. I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food. I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties. I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Don't Lose Focus

I realized lately that I’ve started to lose my drive and focus when it comes to personal growth and improvement. I hit, what felt like a major milestone a couple weeks ago, and I think in a way I felt like I could take a break. And, while a break is ok, my “breaks” tend to last too long, or I simply stop entirely. I recognize that I need to keep going on my current path. Because, if I stop now, it could set me back. And, I’m so tired of being set back, and being left behind. What are those things that you’ve been putting off? What is something that is undone in your life? Get on it girl! Even if you don't finish the task, start it today !

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means. Holiday preparations are now in full swing. I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels. There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of! I have about 5 lists going right now. It’s crazy. What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving. I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time. But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
