Friday Favorites: Fonts - Part 11

I LOVE fonts. I keep a list, similar to this one, in a Word document so I can see what the font looks like with the name of the font so I can easily choose which font I want to use for each project. (Not all of the fonts listed below are free, but most are.)

Unnamed Melody :: Vaguely Repulsive :: Want You Back :: Westwood LET :: AlphabitsSquared :: License Plate USA

My Favorite Things: Websites - Part 1

I spend way too much time online. Blogs, teacher resource sites, social media, blogging resource sites, curriculum searching, email, recipes, shopping, etc. I'm an internet addict.

I've been debating how to do this post for a while now. Should I categorize each post and write a blurb about each? Or should I just categorize the websites within the post, simply giving the site name/link? Well, I've decided the latter. Sorry if it's not ideal. I promise you though, these websites are great.

April Challenge: How Are Things Going For You?

This month has been a trial for me, for so many reasons. We're experiencing a lot of change and stress in our home this month, from jobs mostly. I have been absolutely exhausted and have therefore, not been keeping up with my challenge (or housekeeping for that matter) this month. I guess I also haven't been keeping up with blogging either. My bad. Last week was tough, but I think this week will be better.

Since I have epically failed this month's challenge, I'd love to hear how you've done, if you've cleaned and/or organized any closets.

If you haven't already, enter my Scentsy giveaway! It ends this Saturday, April 28.

Giveaway: Scentsy Mother's Day Warmer & 3 Bars / Plug-In & 3 Bars (2 Winners!)

I recently was given the opportunity to try out Scentsy products. I've been wanting to try them out for a while now, so I was more than happy to accept the opportunity when it arose.

I've been using my beautiful Victoria warmer for the last few weeks and absolutely love the Scentsy Bars I was sent. My favorite is Perfectly Pomegranate. The fragrance is so delicious! I love turning on my warmer as soon as I get home from work just to take in the aroma.

I also received some other goodies as well. I took the room spray to school to use when the kids leave the room. They're becoming stinky as it gets warmer. Last weekend we went on a weekend getaway and I took the travel tin I received. Our hotel didn't have that generic hotel smell. Instead it smelled like apple pie. Delish!
