Tuesday Toss Up: StartingTraditions

SBJ starts Preschool 

next week! 

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I have been looking online

for back to school ideas

and have found several we will do.

Today was Open House

and I used my first ideas:

The first one is

 a "Teacher's Aid" kit

I found at Bee in Our Bonnet.

I don't have all the crafty paper and ribbon...

{and I didn't see this printable until just now}

so the actual box wasn't so cute...

but the items in the kit are fun and functional!

 Items I included: colored paper clips, stickers,

sanitizer and band aids, 

mints and candy, post-it notes, pens

The second is a 

letter we gave SBJ's teachers.

I found the idea at The Blackberry Vine.
Again, I didn't see the printable until now,

but I did print it on cute, school-themed paper!

Muffin Tin Monday: Farmer's Market

We LOVE our weekly

Farmer's Market trips!

I recently decided to do a

muffin tin with all farmer's market food.

YUM!

Tomato sandwich

Blueberries and Nectarines

Boiled Peanuts (shelled)

Thankful Thursday: 31

So, I turned 31 this weekend.

No biggie, really.

Always thankful for another year!

A special shout out and THANKS

to my mama and daddy

for giving me a birthday!

Want it Wednesday: Healthy Habits

How do you create and stick to new habits?

I have a few 

new, healthy habits

I am going to work on soon.

I am thinking that I will ditch

New Year's resolutions

and start Back to School Goals...

1. Drink more water

2. Get up before SBJ and get my day started

3. Have a nightly routine and reasonable bedtime

4. Be more active
(possible a.m. workout &/or p.m. walk?)

5. Be less critical of others

Pretty beach photo, just because

Change in Plans

My busy summer has had me in sort of a blogging-slump.
It has caused me to revisit my blog schedule....again!
For the most part, it is staying the same:
Muffin Tin Monday
Want it Wednesday
Thankful Thursday
Forgetting the Before/Friday Favorites
Cyber-less Sunday


The 2 days that are changing are Tuesday and Saturday.
Tuesday has been trouble from the start. Tasty Tuesday is fun, but I am finding that I don't always get good photos of my food and I don't like to share a recipe without a photo...sooooooo, I am going back to making it my "random" post day.
It will be "Tuesday Toss-Up"....I may share a tasty recipe or a totally fun idea or ways I try to be crafty or snippets from our travels, or just about anything else I think of!
Saturday is becoming Cyber-less also. I am keeping the weekend for family...not blogging.


Thanks for continuing to share in my blogging journey!

Muffin Tin Monday: Random

Home Sweet Home...

for a minute or two.

Sometimes it seems like 

we are on the road 

more than we are home.

While we are always having fun...

I miss home.

Random Muffin Tin Meal:

Tuna

Yogurt

Water

Pepperoni

Cucumber and Carrots with dressing

Watermelon

Want it Wednesday: Wordless-ish

As you can tell from the mess 

in and under

SBJ's carseat....

we have been traveling 

and busy the last few weeks.

Sorry I have neglected my blog...

but we are having fun!

Be back soon...
