Sunday Smorgasbord {July Seventh}

Today I am linking up with Michelle at Fabulous in First for her Sunday Smorgasbord Linky Party.

It's funny how different life is in the summer, isn't it? I've been doing a lot of beach time... I'm very lucky that this is all walking distance and lucky to have a hubby who is a student so he too is on summer break....
On 4th of July we did much of the same... but added a parade and some fireworks {could my fireworks pictures be any worse?}
I went shopping this week. Trying to find a dress for my sister's rehearsal dinner at the end of the month. Here are the current top 3 contenders.... I secretly want to keep all 3 dresses.... but I told myself I will only keep one and return the other two. 

I am leaning toward the solid coral colored one.. I am not a big fan of posting pictures of myself...but I need you to see my black belt issue...I love these shoes with the dress and therefore need a tan belt? or what? If this were during the school year I would just make it work, or throw on black shoes and be done... but in summer I ponder and take my time choosing. What do you think? The dress with pink flowers is also great. 

And I have been working on many TpT items.... 

First up are my Pattern Block Zoo Animals... Just got this done and man, is that a great feeling. Check it out {here}





Second up is a writing center. I having been posting about balanced literacy and in doing so realized I had many things I could put together to help someone get their writing center organized and useful for little ones. This I hope to have done in a few days...


And yes, I am taking suggestions for a second color scheme. I know turquoise and orange may seem like an odd choice, but it feels so summery and bright! 

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Cute dress! It looks great with the shoes. I am not the fashion police so I think the belt looks fine. :)
