searching for spring

With a dusting of snow covering my car this morning- I was hoping spring would try just a tad harder to make my life a bit more brighter. Pretty, pretty please!

be aware...

World Autism Awareness Day is officially April 2. This is a day to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for those affected by autism...something very near and dear to my heart. For those of you that do not know- I see the impact autism has on a daily basis because I have the privilege of being a teacher at a private school for children with autism.

So, I am encouraging you to mark your calendars and check out World Autism Awareness Day for more information on how you can get involved, increase awareness, and even see a list of events in your area.
Chances are, someone you love {or know} is affected by autism.
Another fantastic resource to check out is Autism Speaks.

thanks, martha

I look forward to decorating...especially for holidays! So, now that St. Patty's Day is behind us, I can officially begin filling my house with the next holiday decor. Hey, if Martha puts the ideas up on the main page of her site, it must be time. I mean, I am not going to argue.

Check out all the motivation...

When do YOU put up your Spring/Easter Decor?

charmed

In. Love. Yup, I am loving these charms. These my pretties are custom silhouette pendants. The fact alone that they are silhouettes makes them good enough to eat- but imagine the silhouette of your lil one around your neck. Just lovely. They have a vintage flair to them that makes me drool a bit but yet seem so stylish.

These scrumptious delights can even be double sided- all you do is send them your profile pictures, pick the ring style and sizes- and the talentedd people over at lucky me beads will make your heart stop and melt. I mean, what's not to love here?

playing catch up

At work, at home {le blog}- life in general- I am playing catch up. This week just seems like a complete blur to me. Here are some highlights from my week that my brain could conjure up at the moment...

{been helping this friend out who is immobile and wheel chair bound now for quite some time}

{got these little lovelies from the super cool Erica- loooove them}

AND this is what happened to several of the cars in the parking lot where I park earlier this week. Lovely, right? Fortunately, this is not my car, but about 15 of my co-workers cars looked like this or much worse with all of their belongings inside stolen. Just horrible.

thank goodness for Miss Erica...you made my week!

sad eyes

You may remember when I was in desperate need of some eye tips...well I back again for more. I thought I had met my match- I followed the advice of my deary Miss B. And it proved deccent on the eyes but not love at first sight. So- I moved on and purchased this over the weekend and the lady at the counter swore by it {of course she did, right}. One of my friends also uses it. So, I was pumped. No more racoon eyes for me! WRONG. And it's supposed to be waterproof! Seriously, what is wrong with me?
Okay- the issue is at the end of the day I have black smudge on my eyelids {I'm assuming it is because my eyelashes are long and are rubbing against my eyelid}.

Some suggestions- pretty, pretty pleeeeease!

take me away

It is now March. But the weather here is still cold. I am done. The temps here are in the single digits...and if you ladies are enjoying sun and warm weather beaming down on you- do not tell me about it. I am jealous. I cannot stop dreaming of sunshine and double-digit temps. Someone please share!
I really need to move...
