Get it? Like pillow talk, but different?
Anway...you need these sandals! They are the cushiest, cutiest, go-with-everything sandal of the season. And they're only $60. Plus it gives you a reason to pop into Nordys. And they're like walking on pillows.
Whatever color you choose (I went for the gray), there's something casual, work-ish and athleisurely that pair with these perfectly.
Enjoy!

An Apple Today
"Mama, I want to bring an app-ull to school. Get it for me. Please," my four-year old half-demanded, half-begged outside of the fridge, one little palm grasping an iPad, the other laid loosely on the stainless steel of the fridge.
It wasn't unusual for him to ask a snack in what was likely our eighth attempt out the door, but generally it was something closer to Cheetos, Cheesits or a sneak from he candy bowl that was on his mind. Yes at 7:15 a.m.
Grabbing the apple, we set off on our journey of two drop offs and a long commute. One school down and coming in hot to the second, I noticed he slid the apple atop the cubbies, very near the elbow of his favorite teacher.
"I give it to Mr. Brian," he whispered, giving it a small budge toward his arm, then making a face and retreating into my arms.
"Oh, that's nice buddy - how kind of you!" I exclaimed, thinking they'd had a recent lesson on teachers and apples and the ol' addage that they enjoyed the sour things.
"So, I guess he brought you an apple today!" I laughed, watching Mr. Brian's face as he processed whether this was something fun or just a bad Teacher Appreciation gift.
"I eat an apple everyday," said Mr. Brian. "I bet he noticed, and thought I'd like it."
And that, my friends is progress. And it's love.
An apple today made for a memory that will always stay. Proud of your golden, giving heart little buddy.
Enjoy that apple, Mr. Brian.

Did You Get It Done?!
Teacher Appreciation week, that is!
If you're anything like our house, there's no one you're more grateful for than the village that's growing and loving your children at school each day. These saints are simply amazing. And I swear I co-parent more with some of them than my own husband.
Tomorrow marks the last day of the designated week when you get the chance to shower these leaders with love. So if you haven't full executed on the PTA recommended plan and need a few ideas, start here:
Don't forget a thoughtful handwritten note and a gift card go a long way too.
Wishing all our educators are the spoils and celebration their weeks can hold. You certainly deserve it!

Mini bundlets: told you they're good for everything! Spoil the whole crew with a variety mix. |
Mini blooms from Trader Joe's: they come in a variety of colors and types and are only $1.99! |
Fuzzy blanket: they give your child all the warmth and love in the world - they deserve some too! Plus it looks nice in their home. Target and Macy's have good options. |
