Looking for a cute and easy way to manage all those dangling earrings? This is a simple way to solve that problem. You only need 5 materials, all of which I had right at my home.

 

Supplies:

1. Hot Glue Gun
2. Mesh Wire
3. Picture Frame
4. Décor-I used a flower leftover from another project and pearls

Directions:

1. Measure and cut the wire according to your picture frame size. You want the mesh wire to be a little bigger than the frame.
2. Glue the mesh wire to the back of the frame.
3. Glue on your décor
4. Place your on your favorite earrings :)

I just set up the holder against a wall next to all my other jewelry.

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday was National Runner's Day! I was going to have a rest day after moving classrooms (every muscle was screaming at me) but I laced up my new running shoes and headed out the door. I will admit the NEW running shoes helped a little. I am obsessed with Brooks PureDrift running shoes. They can be a rare find, but on Brooks website, you can usually find a pair on SALE. My husband loves that since I go through running shoes a little quicker than the average person. It was a raining/stormy day, so I headed to the gym. I actually don't mind the treadmill at all! It pushes me so much more because just by a touch of a button, I am forced to go a little faster. I ended up running 4 miles..and then headed out to school again to finish the moving.

Hello Summer! It is such a relieve that I made it through my fourth year of teaching second grade. It was one of the years that I will never forget. I used to say that at the end of every year, but I have already forgotten my years before this. BUT this year was different! I learned so much about myself as an educator and as a person. I have spent my first two days of summer at school. I know, I know, what was I thinking?! However, I am extremely excited to say I am switching to first grade!! I don't think I fully know what I am getting myself into, but I am so ready to mold the minds of little learners.

What am I doing this summer? I already have a bucket list ready to go!

1. FINISH my Master's Degree! I can't smile enough about this one.
2. Clean- Sounds silly, but I love having a clean home.
3. Try new healthy recipes
4. Travel- My husband and I have a tripped planned to Charleston, SC this summer. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this.
5. Pool Time- I will be soaking up every sunshine ray that I can
6. Craft- I'm not sure what yet, but Pinterest always has my wheels spinning
7. Spend quality time with my husband. I can be a little grouchy during the school year (imagine that)
8.  Eat has much frozen yogurt as I can. There are so many cute yogurt shops, it's hard to resist.

and whatever else the summer throws at me! :)
