Fall Celebration

Every year my Sister-in-Law & Brother-in-Law throw a "Fall Celebration". This year was their 15th one! Basically it is a get together where we eat yummy fall themed foods and visit with family. She had lovely candles burning, and the whole house smelled like caramel apples. Classic Frank Sinatra and Nat King cole were playing in the background and there was just an all around cozy glow to the atmosphere. We sipped on apple cider cocktails and this year Hungarian Gulash was the main dish and it was delish!

This was the set up for the dining room table. My sister-in-law is very crafty and great at decoration. She scored her silver tea set at a garage sale for $7! It's so gorgeous and looked beautiful for her centerpiece. now I'm on the hunt for one (of course I have no where to put it at the moment, but hopefully Joel & I will be moving by the end of spring!)

For her table runner she just used brown butcher paper and cut the ends like a ribbon. Simple and cute.

I didn't take many pictures because I was busy visiting, but she took more pictures of her cute decor details and posted them on her blog "The Everett Six" if you would like to see more of the celebration :)

This is not a very appetizing picture, but I brought an appetizer that I found on pinterest. I wrapped brie cheese, a tart granny smith apple slice, a pecan, and drizzled with honey and seasoned with rosemary, in a crescent roll. They may not look very pretty but they tasted yummy! You can view the pin here.

It's not very often that I get to dress normal or cute so when I do, of course I have to document it.

What I wore: Sweater: Old Navy (old) // Top: JCPenney // Boots: ASOS

 

 Here's a close up of the detail on the shirt!

Happy Fall & Happy Thursday!

 

Home Decor

 Over the summer, my mom & I went to the Two Sister's Treasures Sale just outside of my hometown. We love going to antique sales like this. It's fun to see how they state everything and to find fun items for the home.

 We both fell in love with this hutch. It is so gorgeous. We love the mirror on the back and especially the little shelves on either side. My mom has vintage pink crystal lamps that were passed down to her from her Grandma that we thought would have looked perfect on the shelves. Unfortunately it was a little spendy--not an unreasonable price, just out of our prices ranges! 

 I ended up going home with the two little mirrors and the mirrored tray in this picture. I loved the little lipstick holder too, but unfortunately, none of my lipsticks are round.

 Here's how I styled my finds!

 I placed the mirrored tray on my nightstand along with a couple of pictures of me and my handsome husband.

I added the two small mirrors to the mirrors I already had hanging. I love mirrors, but I think my husband is getting tired of them, haha. Every time I bring one home, he says "another mirror?". Hopefully he just doesn't notice these two. ;)

Happy Thursday!

PE Gym Decor

 Here are the pictures of my gym decor that I talked about last week. I LOVE color, so I did everything in rainbow colors. I would love to add more eventually, but we'll see how long this stuff holds up without getting ripped down. I have also made posters on the components of fitness but I haven't put them up yet because they are heavy so I need something heavy duty to hold them up.

These are my levels of responsibility that I have for students to think about. They are supposed to "stay on green" which is level 4. Throughout the year I will have the show me what level they think they are at and record it for citizenship grades. Of course, we have to agree upon what level they were at for the day :)

This is my class motto for PE. I want my students to think of their class as a team and learn to work together and help each other to improve. I make them stand on the circle in the middle of the gym and we chant this together at the end of every class before we do our cool down.

So far, students are having issues regarding members of the opposite sex as "teammates"...we're going to have to work on that ;)

Happy Tuesday!
