Sunny with a twist of lemon

Yellow is definitely my favorite color this Spring. Last year my favorite color was pink. Speaking of yellow, I have a refashion I want to work on, hopefully I'll find time to sew this weekend. This is what I wore to work today, it looked better in the morning, when my skirt wasn't wrinkly, my hair wasn't a mess and I wasn't tired from our field trip to the Symphony Orchestra. We had lots of fun though, what did my students like best? Riding the school bus of course! Most of my kiddos live near the school so they never get to ride the school bus.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

There's a first time for everything

Today I took the day off because I had a dentist appointment for my son and I. Everything went great, no one had cavities. I also had to go to court to pay for my first traffic ticket ever (bummer). The day is cloudy and humid but I still wanted to brighten things up with my thrifted yellow sweater. Hope everyone has a great day!

Sunday Best: Florals, Stripes and a New Blog Name

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a delightful Sunday. Today, as you might have noticed, I changed my blog's name. It's something I had been thinking about for a while. Since I started blogging my style has changed quite a bit. Make-up, jeans and jewelry are among some changes I've made in my wardrobe. I am quite happy with these changes. Lately though, I've found myself doubting about posting outfits because they might no be considered modest, blogging itself might not be considered a modest thing to do either. So I decided the best thing to do would be to change my blog name, I purchased the new domain and I think it will automatically redirect you to the new blog address A Skirt a Day so you don't have to do anything else. I hope you all will continue to tag along and I thank you in advance for your continuous support and encouragement. And now for the outfit, this is what I wore to church today, this jacket is officially my new favorite thing to wear. I hope everyone has a great week!

Kids say the darndest things

Many times at family gatherings I like to share work anecdotes of the kiddos, and I often get asked "how do you keep a straight face?" Well, practice and experience my friends, and a little bit of tongue-biting. There have been times though, when I couldn't help but laugh out loud, because 5 year-olds say the darndest things and most of the times they're not trying to be funny, which makes things even funnier. Just this morning a group of students had a serious conversation about farting (they didn't know I was listening). They quickly pointed each other out for letting wind go, but in the end they all agreed that none of them ever fart, even though my nose often tells me a different story.

The diary of an earthworm

Yesterday my students were thrilled to spy some earthworms on the ground. Children were chasing each other with the earthworms wrapped around their fingers. After recess I laid down the law: Do not take earthworms, or what's left of them, inside. You know, because in kindergarten you have to be specific like that. ^_^ We went inside and at the end of the day a little girl tattled on "Curly", it went something like this:

Girl: Teacher! Curly has an earthworm in his locker!!!
Me: Curly...do you have an earthworm in your locker?
Curly: No... (followed by guilty look)
Me: Curly tell me the truth...(giving him the teacher look)
Curly: OK, I do, but it's dead...
Me: Pretending to be speechless
Curly: but it got stuck in my jacket's pocket so I couldn't leave him behind!

Poor little creepers I hope they stay out of the sight of my kiddos or else their lives will be cut short by my students uncontrollably hard grip. This is what I wore to fork today. ^_^

Rain or Shine

Hi there buddy bloggers! I'm back, sorry for not updating sooner. I guess I was bored and tired of my Fall/Winter clothes but during Spring break I managed to switch my closet to Spring clothes. Today we returned to school after our Spring break, it was nice to see my little ones again, some of them grew taller over the break. This is what I wore to work today, it was very windy, not a good season to wear full skirts where I live (tornado season) but I'm not giving up just yet.
