A few favorites lately...

This was a TJ Maxx sweatshirt I got a few weeks ago when I was dreaming of fall. 

Last weekend (not this past weekend) it was cool enough to wear long sleeves. A true favorite. 

Someone I worked with once grew up in Germany and then moved to upstate New York. She said it was so weird to her the way everyone wore shorts with long sleeves on the east coast. Since I did that a lot, she said I reminded her of that lol. 

She is so happy to be back at school. 

He loves chewing on the sides of this bed. 

Still getting so many tomatoes from the garden. I keep making marinara sauce.

I think this was on Tuesday after my first day back at school. 

We all got Samsung Interactive Displays so I'm looking forward to using technology this year. Otherwise I have a projector, a document camera, and my own sound bar. 

I took Sutton to a birthday party yesterday. She loved it. 

I took Wells to a pool party last week. He loved that too. 

I got these at the post-exchange on base the other day. SO COMFORTABLE. Was not expecting that when I randomly tried them on. This is not the same color combo but it's the same shoe. 

I finally put on my Bubble Pop nails. I love this method so much. I think it's because of my erythromelalgia, but nail polish actually kind of hurts and makes my fingers swell up the first day I have it on. Even the super-crunchy non-toxic kind. Toenails, I'm fine, but even getting a professional manicure leads to this. 

These gel wraps are so much better in that regard...no weird side effects at all. And if I can do it, you can do it. Very easy application. 

I splurged on this Free People jacket. Since I don't wear a heavy winter coat most days in the fall/winter, I thought it would be a good everyday jacket. I originally got black, then didn't love-love it so I pre-ordered the champagne. It's supposed to ship 9/2. We'll see. The black, I thought, would be more practical, but I don't love the look of washed out black jeans and that was the color. 

Again, so happy to be going back to school each morning. Sutton started last Tuesday with me, but Wells doesn't begin until Wednesday. 

Happy (happy?) Monday and hopefully I'm back before Friday.
