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!

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...

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck. I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress. But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward. We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions. Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!
