Today is the day my husband has been preparing for the past 2 years and intensely studying for the past 10 weeks for - The USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) An 8 hour exam!
dun dun duuuunnnn
I know he will do great because in anything he does he puts forth 200% effort and is always very prepared, very calm, and very Lee like.
If you're reading this today and have 1 minute to spare, could you please send a little word up to God and ask him to watch over my precious husband and bless him in his diligent efforts to fulfill his calling to be a doctor.
you no... no biggie :)

Dr. Seuss Lorax Tree Art
This week we had Monday and Tuesday off from school.
Monday for a snow day and Tuesday for election day here in Ohio.
My nieces and I spent Monday evening working on some art work that I was inspired by pinterest to try.
We also paintined Dr. Seuss Lorax trees because the girls recently watched the movie, and who doesn't love Dr. Seuss inspired crazy trees :)
We used paper grocery sacks from Kroger, a mountain dew bottle, paint, and an old pickle jar lid to put the paint in.
Use the bottom of the pop bottle as a stamp
the lid works as a stamp too!
winter, spring, and summer
Once we filled all the paper bags we held an art auction in the kitchen and sold the paintings to my parents (their grandparents) for .25-1.00. My nieces' idea... they are little entrepreneurs!

What I Wear Wednesday
Happy Wednesday!
I'm sharing a few of my "work" outfits over the past week.
I work in a school... and my husband made fun of me when I complained about having to dress "too modestly"
haha.
it sounds terrible when you say it out loud.
I obviously don't want to dress un-modest, but I feel slightly limited because I work in a school. Does that make sense?
I wore a dress to school one day and a 5th grade boy seriously whistled at me when I walked into a classroom (in front of another teacher!)
talk about embarrassing.
It was knee length, I had one tights, and a sweater!
I've since kept away from the dresses.
I also feel slightly bummed out by the practical shoes I have to wear.
If I wear heels they click loudly as I walk down the halls and people say things like "I can believe you are wearing those shoes when you're on your feet all day"
yea well... I'm an adult and am smart enough to not wear shoes that hurt my feet when I KNOW I'll be standing the majority of the day.
But I'd rather just avoid such conversations, so flats it is.

I love these shoes! From Target a few years ago.
Granny sweater vest from Goodwill updated with a belt {also purchased at Goodwill)
This I actually wore to church on Sunday.
Secret about this dress? It's maternity! An extra small maternity that I bought on clearance and wear with a belt :)

Etsy Questions
I'm wondering who of you have shops and what this whole "in my circle" thing means and do you want to be in my circle and can I be in your's??
I feel like I'm friendless on Etsy!
Except for my real life friend Tiffany who has recently started her own shop too!!
She owns Architecturespeaks and blogs over at Teach. Run. Love.
She takes the photos herself and makes these great pieces of art! She can also do custom words like your name! Check her out!

long distance love
I have many long distance relationships going on.
My husband is currently 500 miles away in Canada
My siblings live in California and Georgia
and a huge chunk of my heart is still in Grenada with the people and friends I left behind there.
I'm finding inspiration from a few pins for a little something I'm working on.
I just love maps, don't you?
