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!

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won. That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing. But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey. Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others. Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today? How have I affected others? How does that make me feel? How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

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!
