I'm loving all the amazing people I've met through blogging including my sweet friend Tara. Today is her birthday so hop on over to her blog and say Happy Birthday!!

I'm loving that my husband is home safe and sound from his camping adventures. There was an earthquake this weekend in Kentucky and my husband felt it! Crazy! He's even cute after not showering for three days.

I'm loving that my friend Betsy came in town to keep me company while Drew was out playing Bear Grylls. We had a relaxing weekend filled with girly movies, shopping and baking.

I'm loving that the holiday craft shows are in full swing!

I'm loving that we are hosting our first family Thanksgiving this weekend at our house. I'm a planner at heart so I've been busy making lists and buying crafty supplies to make it special.

I'm loving Pioneer Woman's Rigatoni and Meatballs from her new cookbook. YUM!

And now that cold weather has taken over Ohio...I'm loving these pins.

I'm loving my 3 day work weeks making Wednesday my new Friday for the summer. Doesn't that just make more sense anyway? Yes please!

I'm loving that my birthday is TOMORROW and that we have a fun weekend planned including a trip with friends to Valley Vineyards.

I'm loving my library card. I live within walking distance to a library and the number of cds, dvds and books I've checked out just the past 2 weeks alone could fill a shopping cart.

I'm loving free summer concerts!

I'm loving my new Tom's wedges! Yes my husband got the hint and he even let me have them early.

I'm loving my pins this week. I was looking for inspiration on how to wear my new maxi skirt and I think I found some!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm loving that I spotted my first lighting bug last night. I was so tempted to go grab a Mason jar and run around pretending it was summer. Only 5 1/2 more days!!!!

I'm loving this season of the Bachelorette. ABC is redeeming themselves from last season thank goodness!

I'm loving the Cincinnati Reds. We went to the game last night with our friends Andrea and Nate and had a fabulous time. We even got a picture with Mr. Redlegs. I love that he's giving the boys the bunny ears. Haha.

I'm loving this Strawberry Shortcake Cake from my new Pioneer Woman cookbook that my friend Betsy gave me. She surprised me and already had it signed for me! I am now two for two. And this cake is freaking amazing...it is even worth the 2 hours it took to make. Wow.

I'm loving my sweet husband and two baby kitties.

Link up with Jamie and share what you are loving today!

What I'm loving...summer wish list

Summer is so close I can taste it. This year has stretched me in more ways than I thought possible. I have never had a more challenging class. This group of kids have given me gray (yes gray) hairs at the young age of 26, they have caused me to gain weight due to stress eating Nutella every day after school annnnnnd they have caused me to start grinding my teeth at night, which resulted in a mouth guard. How can I blame these precious children for my issues? Trust me I can. I love them dearly and pour my heart and soul into helping them be successful but I am ready for summer vacation!!!! So instead of grading papers or working on report cards I'm making my summer wish list.

This summer I want to CREATE...

4. To start each day with a smoothie...I currently don't eat breakfast (GASP!) I know it's terrible I just don't have time and I'm never hungry right away.
