Shopping, Vampires & Books!!

I have spent the majority of my free time this weekend watching The Vampire Diaries on DVD. I love this show so much!!! I also did some birthday shopping! I needed a dress for a wedding I'm going to in November. I got a gift card to Amazon & Target, so I got 7 new books & some new stuff from Target! How cute is this outfit from Target that I'll be wearing to the wedding...




Hopefully to look something like this...

Yay!

Also this week, I'm going to be teaching Science lesson plans in my class everyday! I'm pretty excited about that. I've got 2 guest posts on my blog coming up. One about doulas & one about baby sign language! I'm also going to catch up on my Mommy's Piggy Tales. I've got Sophomore year, Junior year & Senior year of high school to cover! Then I've got to do one (or a couple in my case) on post-high school. But I will do that in future weeks.

Isis has been reading a lot! She used to seem really uninterested in books, but we kept reading to her every night & whenever we had a chance during the day. Since being with the babysitter everyday, I think she's read to even more & suddenly she loves it! She will laugh at the pictures & try to turn the pages & it's so fun! 

I'll also be reading a lot in the coming weeks. From Amazon I got 2 Sophie Kinsella books (Remember Me & Can You Keep a Secret), One Day, 20 Times a Lady, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Something Blue & The Hunger Games! I also have A Million Miles in a Thousand Years & The Me I Want to Be that I need to read soon! So lots of reading going on in my house!!!

Happy Weekend!!!

Soo looking forward to the new TV season for the next season of Vampire Diaries (as well as a few others).

I haven't been by in a while - I take if from this post you are back at work? Which would make sense given the school year has started! Hope it's going okay.

All the best!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
