(First Ever) OOTD Stripe Wrap Sweater

New here? Follow us on Bloglovin'!

Today I looked pretty decent (in my opinion) and I thought it might be fun to do an OOTD post. What are my thoughts after making one you ask? I hate Wisconsin and will not be making another until spring rolls around.

Our neighbors have two little sons who were watching us from the window, without their shirts on, and hopefully they were as entertained by us as we were by them. My brother posing in the kitchen window definitely helped as well.

I'm kind of in love with this new wrap sweater I got on clearance at Nautica for fourteen dollars. So much so that I got two, this one and one in gray.

Katie was nice enough to take these photos for me- even though it was freezing :)

DIY Thursday: Paper Tie-Dye

New here? Follow us on Bloglovin'!

Start by spraying your shaving cream on a paper plate, piece of foil, or straight on your work space if you'd like.

Next, start dropping food coloring in the shaving cream. Feel free to blend colors as it gives your art more dimension.

You're welcome to skip this next step, but I think it makes it look really cool. Take a tooth pick or straw and draw lines through your drops.

Last, set your paper of choice on top and press gently. Remove the paper and let dry. They shaving cream will evaporate for the most part and just leave behind the color. You can dye many different things from just one sheet of shaving cream and food coloring, but the colors will start to get fainter.

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .

1. We had really small classes on Thursday because a lot of people had confirmation. It was fun to have only 5 people in jazz & we got to add on to the combination.

2. We got to pick Katie up from school on Friday, like usual.

3. Katie and her mom stayed for dinner and we had scalloped potatoes, which I helped make, and ham.

4. After dinner on Friday, I babysat for friends from the boat. Their daughter was asleep half the time, so it wasn't a huge deal and I got a lot of reading in. It was exhausting be up that late though.

5. We had BTI rehearsal on Saturday! It was soo much fun, but I was still pretty exhausted. I cannot believe we have dress rehearsal next weekend! If anyone is in the Chicago area the second weekend of March, you should let me know and I can get you ticket info.

The Sunday Currently (February 23rd) & a Giveaway

New here? Follow us on Bloglovin'!

I'm sorry we've been rather quiet around here lately! Katie and I have been really busy lately. So here's what I'm up to this Sunday. I'm currently. . .

Reading The Circle by Dave Eggers. It's about a company in the future that has a monopoly on pretty everything and they also have access to everyone's information.

Writing a research paper about psychoneuroimmunology. I'm not sure how well it is going to go since there isn't a lot of different information on it, but we'll see!

Listening to Phineas and Ferb. I prefer Disney in the background of my daily tasks haha.

Thinking about places to get pointe shoes. We ran into a friend of mine at lunch and she really needs new shoes. She isn't sure where she can get them on a Sunday, though.

Smelling nothing really. We haven't cooked anything today so it pretty much just smells normal haha.

Wishing I could go back to sleep. I was up until 1 on Friday, had a long rehearsal yesterday, and they had a hard time sleeping yesterday. The funny part is I was falling asleep watching Dr. Who, but when I actually got up and went to bed I just couldn't sleep.

Hoping it warms up! I'm rather tired of the bs weather!

Loving having a day off.

Wanting scalloped potatoes. I helped make some on Friday, but I don't want to have to heat them up haha.

and now for the giveaway. . . .

There's more after the jump!

Fridayyy

New here? Follow us on Bloglovin'!

This week seemed to absolutely DRAG ON. I'm definitely glad it's finally Friday, but this week really didn't go badly. It was a pretty great week and I got some pretty good news.

This song is pretty fun, in my opinion. What do you think?
