…to the antique store to search for the perfect milk glass candy dish for my desk. Isn’t she lovely?
…to Walmart to buy composition notebooks where I promptly had my arm twisted into getting this guy. Every homeschool needs a class pet, right? He’ll make a perfect little chore on the chore list, won’t he?……feeding the fish? And fish travel in schools? Okay, I’m a pushover but he is cute and we named him ‘Logos’ which in Latin means word or think or learn. He goes perfect with our classical model which focuses much more on words than on images.
…..again to Walmart to buy SCHOOL SUPPLIES and instead got this pretty little classroom plant….called lipstick; never heard of it or seen it before, but every school needs a class flower….to water…..and watch grow. Do I have ADD or what? Where are all those school supplies?
…..then back home to sweet talk this guy (more on him shortly) into moving
this beastly mammoth down into the school room. The girls and I had a ‘giant spotlight’ moment and decided that this ‘ol used up computer desk would make the best little American Girl playhouse you’ve ever seen. So, we’re gonna paint, bedazzle, and decorate ourselves into a frenzy…..ya know in a schooly sort of artsandcrafts kind of a way.
School (at home) starts on Monday, so we went……
As promised, more on above mentioned young man: Meet Marcus. Steve’s bright, funny, and friendly 21 year old. He just moved in with us last night to go to UT and we couldn’t be happier. He’s a fanatic Cubs fan and will in general increase the amount of man-TV that gets watched at our house.
To summarize, I have a darling milk glass bowl, a new goldfish, a “lipstick” plant, and a bright and funny 21 year old…..oh, and some highlighters. School supplies are overrated.
Are you kidding me? You really went searching specifically for a milk glass candy dish? Who does that??? Was the banjo-playing frog found on a specific search, or were you buying school supplies last year when you found him? *wink* Edie, you are one of a kind–such an inspiration! I’m going to be back at ya with the result of my find real soon, so keep checking in! I’m off to take a before picture so you won’t think I’m a loser!

Denise,
I’m half-crazed about milk glass everything….there’s even a milk glass platter on my plate wall! My girls were so patient on the search too. Am I warping them severely? And no, banjo playing frog was a fate find at TJ Maxx. So good to see you fellow creative spirits at Hobby Lobby today! We left with 23 skeins of embroidery floss! Thanks for posting.
Grace to you all, Edie

Just out a little ways out from the beach sat the gorgeous Mokulua Islands. I it would be amazing to paddle board out to them but we didn’t get a chance to do that on this trip. Next time I will for sure make that a priority! If you’re interested in doing that you can head over to the Kailua Beach Park which is right next door to Lanikai. For us it was enough to just lay on the beach and enjoy the view! เที่ยวนครศรีธรรมราช
Traveling is one of the coolest things you can do, especially if you`re young. New people, cool places, delicious plates and wild stories you can bore your friends with for a lifetime. But travel isn`t always the cure for your problems. Though it makes you tune in on who you are as a person, traveling can also be lonely especially if you`re traveling alone and for a long period of time. According to research, traveling can provoke anxiety in some people and in some cases, it can worsen depression.ที่เที่ยวระนอง
