August Favorites

Here are a few of my favorite things from the month of August...

1. I didn't do much crafting all summer so I was so glad I squeezed this stool makeover in. I'm just smitten with it and can't wait to glitz up the rest of my craft room supplies. See a tutorial of how I spruced up my boring stool here.

2. A new to me mountain bike purchase. Now Drew and I both have mountain bikes and we have been loving our afternoon bike rides into town to drop off mail, grab ice cream or pick up a book from the library. We can't wait to hit up some trails this fall.

3. Our annual family reunion in Kentucky ya'll. I absolutely love my family and we always have a great time getting together and eating fried chicken, competing in our family corn hole tournament, playing frisbee golf, etc. etc.

3. Celebrating my dear friend Bekah's birthday at a cute new to us spot. We did a wine and dine at a place called the Art of Entertaining. I can't wait to go back. Great food, great wine, fun atmosphere!

4. A trip to Norris lake with my family. We stayed at my Aunt's lake house and had a great time!

5. Drew and I found over $100 worth of gift cards from our wedding (4 years ago) that we thought we had lost. They turned up the weekend before we went back to school so we splurged on an awesome date night.

6. Surprisingly another favorite of mine has been getting back into my teaching routine. You probably think I'm crazy...I love summers off, but I also love my job. I honestly get nervous every year that I'm going to forget how to do the whole teaching thing, but it always comes right back. I also feel extremely loved each and every day by my students, which is a huge blessing. You can see a sneak peek of my classroom here.

That wraps up my favorite things from August...I just can't believe another month is here and gone!
