7 Days of Love--Day 1: Sensational Sweatshirts


It's that time again--Monday.  I have to admit I'm not hating it, since I'm off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Gotta love those teaching holidays.  I'm finally starting to feel a bit better, but am taking it easy to avoid getting any type of flu.  It's going around CA and I'm pretty much out of sick days :-(.  I hope you all had a great weekend and are looking forward to the month of love, or February.  As a single girl, Valentine's Day is not my favorite, that's for sure, however I do relish the decor, the pink and red everywhere, the cute little candies, and amazing desserts on Pinterest.

So, in honor of trying to get over my dislike for the sappy holiday, I've decided to do a 7 day series on the things that I love.  Each day I find new things to love, whether that be movies, outfits, desserts, books, or even something as small as a new flavor of ice cream.  So, I thought I'd share what I'm loving and see what you're loving too!

DAY 1

Today I'm loving chic sweatshirts.  Sweatshirts have come a long way.  No more rolling out of bed in your old, ripped sweats...now there are amazing prints to choose from, and they can even be dressed up with a collared shirt underneath.  There are so many to choose from, and they're super comfy, which is one of the many reasons to love them.  I also like that if they have some type of print or design on them, I feel I can get away with wearing them to work ;-).  So take a look, and tell me if you love them too:

Single Girls' Nightmare?


The year is flying by already.  Can you believe we're on the 12th of January?  What happened to Christmas?  Valentine's Day is the next holiday and of course there are pinks, reds, and hearts everywhere already.  As a single girl, I'm not really a huge fan of Valentine's Day, but I do love all the great ideas out there, especially on Pinterest.  I always love to get my mom and friends a little something cute.  Here are a few of my current favorites from Pinterest.

Crazy About Cake Pops


Good morning!  I'm back at work today after my long 2-weeks off.  I'm kind of glad to tell you the truth.  I have so much to do and like the distraction.  I'm also back to writing for book #2 so I hope to have something to show for all the hard work soon!  

I saw so many adorable cake pops on Pinterest over the season, that I'm finally inspired to make some of my own.  I'm thinking maybe a Valentine's Day treat for my teacher's aides?  Any tips?  I'd love some feedback on any that you've made.  Have a fantastic Tuesday!
