12 Days of Teacher Treats

i fell in love with the idea last year around Christmas 

but it was too late to get started

not to mention, this year

starting today there are exactly 12 days until we get out for

CHRISTMAS BREAK

i love it because the suggestions are 

simple, 

inexpensive, (most I already have around the house) 

yet still thoughtful

on the 1st Day of Christmas

five friday favs

lemon water

each day this week 

i've started my day 

with a large glass 

filled with lotsa ice & water

then i squeeze a half a lemon in it

refreshing

in the line at chik fil a
let us mama's go in front of him
so we could scoot on home to meet the bus

dream dates

absolutely love this movie

and this is one (among the many) of my favorite scenes
(it's quite a tear jerker)

while the situations are ENTIRELY different . . .
my ben & i had a dream date tonight
i was tucking him in & rubbing his back
but we closed our eyes and went on a date
to
olive garden (his idea ~ i promise!)
he had lemonade & i had tea
he had fettucini alfredo & i had minestrone soup
i'm not sure who had more fun
after our meal we were headed to
Gelati for dessert
ben ended with "to be continued"!
i guess our dream date tomorrow night
while tucking in
will be at
GELATI
i can't wait!
