I've said it before and I'll say it again - Cambodia is one of my favorite countries I've ever visited. As of now I've been fortunate to visit 30 countries, so I think that's saying a lot! It's been a dream of mine to see Angkor Wat and experience the beautiful Cambodia culture.

My closet has been in a sad state of late! Since Rosa's birth last fall, I've been giving my wardrobe a makeover. Perhaps it's due to my new status as mom of two littles, or perhaps it was just time for a change. Either way, I've been doing really well at "out with old" -- but not so well at "in with the new." Yes, I could spend a fortune and buy exactly what I want right now. But sadly, I haven't found any fortunes lying around lately. I've also been trying to minimalize my closet, and only buy/make garments that fit my needs and my lifestyle. In the meantime, my summer "closet crisis" has become acute. When I say "I have nothing to wear," it's almost true -- about seven skirts, a pretty good collection of sleeveless tops and tanks sans necessary layering shirts/shrugs/cardigans, and a few sleeveless and short-sleeve tops I can actually wear by themselves (that don't really go with my current skirt selection). Hmm. I'm now very interested in sewing my own knits. I've finally gotten over my terror of stretchy fabrics, to the point that I'm ready to tackle simple projects like tops, shrugs, and cardis. However, I'm nervous about experimenting when it's difficult to find nice knits inexpensively. I also love the idea of refashioning women's knit t-shirts, but don't love that most of the tutorials I see involve buying two brand-new shirts (so that you have extra fabric for embellishment). With that in mind, I decided to shop the XL women's section at my favorite local thrift shop. Score! I found three identical sleeveless tops in teal, chocolate, and fuchsia. The knit is super nice, and they looked easy to modify. And they were a dollar each. Here's one of the original tops on "Yvonne," along with the line I marked after pinning the top on myself "inside out." By the way, it's extremely painful to remove a fitted top when you've lined the edges in pins. In case you were wondering. After sewing along my line, I fine-tuned the fit and also took about an inch off the shoulders. I removed the excess side fabric with my serger (though finishing the edges isn't really necessary with knit). Excess fabric? Sounds like an excuse for some embellishment! Besides, three of the same top is kind of boring, right? So here's the new version of my top, three ways: 1. Teal banded shoulder top The shoulders are quite wide, and for some reason this top seemed more "binding" than the others. Problem solved by two self-fabric tubes and some gathering stitched on the shirt. 2. Fuchsia Shirred Top This one is pretty simple. Four 1-inch bands cut from my excess fabric, ruffled with elastic thread in the bobbin (I find this faster and easier than regular gathering). They're topstiched on with a medium zig-zag -- medium width, medium length. 3. Chocolate Ruffles and Roses Perhaps my favorite (and currently being worn), I used my elastic bobbin thread again to gather the top edges of the ruffles and the roses. I got the techniques from this wonderful tutorial: Tea Rose Home -- Ruffle Shirt Tutorial. I found a few other re-fashion candidates at the thrift store, so now to figure out how to create more functional pieces for my wardrobe! With a handful of new tops and some skirt fabric on the way, my closet situation is finally looking up.

Last year I helped open a brand-new school. Blogging was not on my priority list. Opening a new school was the most amazing experience but I have never worked so hard in my life! In July we will be entering our second year and our team is growing with two new teachers. We will now have SIX first grade teachers! One of the hardest parts of leaving my past school was leaving my first grade team. They are an amazing group of women and we had so much fun! We all were very different teachers and we didn't agree on everything and that was okay because we respected and trusted each other enough to not cause conflict and drama. Our laughter in the lunchroom could be heard all the way down the hall and I still cherish the amazing relationships that we built. Hopefully you have also been blessed to work on a "fun" team. Fun teams happen when teachers feel connected with each other, there is respect, acceptance, communication and most importantly everyone is collaborating and working towards the same goal. I am meeting my team tonight for dinner and drinks and I wanted to give them a small gift to start the year in a fun way. My most borrowed teacher tool last year was my awesome staple-remover. We are provided with "The Claw" from our district and let's be real, it is garbage! I didn't spend $16 on a roll of Fadeless Paper to have it ruined by "The Claw". This staple remover is less than $4 and it's MAGNETIC! I bought each of my teammates one from Amazon and attached this little tag (because who doesn't love Ryan) and my team gifts are done and I know my team is going to be thrilled!

To organize our GAPS journey, I took a binder and basically made myself a cookbook. I had tabs for all six stages of the intro diet, and another for full GAPS. On each tabbed page, I placed a sheet I had printed off that detailed everything I needed to know for that stage. All of the recipes I gathered, then, I categorized by stage, and when I printed them all off, they went into the appropriate sections of my binder, Continue Reading...
