Rocking my New Kicks on Route66

It was another comfy day back to the grind rocking my new kicks on route66😆. Yes, I so treated myself and my kiddos to back-to-school shoes just because! Thanks goes to @adidas for some super awesome comfort! Click here to find these in store or click my image above. I have seriously been wearing these tennis' every chance I get. Of course, now that I'm actually doing zooms live, I have to dress a little more professional, I can still have a party on the bottom, right? haha. 

I find each day that wearing something super comfy to zoom in is the way to be whether it be a dress or some leggings. Trust me, jeans are not the way to go. Good luck out there ladies and gents! 

 

Who's Prepping for Virtual Learning??

Who out there is prepping for virtual learning? I'll admit it. I am a tad bit lost at this point in my teaching career haha. I know I can figure all of this virtual stuff out, but it's going to be an adventurous ride! 

I'm also going to admit that I've had a little trouble coming back from the quarantine. I literally cannot breathe when I wear jeans because I'm so used to wearing stretchy pants and so overalls it was for today!! These overall's are soooooo cute. I found them in a boutique a while back and they've been sold out, but I'll link a similar pair from American Eagle. You can click here or click on the picture below! I think they're super cute, but I'm probably gonna stick with my stretchy pants most days 😂 at least until in class sessions begin 🤷🏻‍♀️. 

I hope everyone has a great and adventurous year. Do a quick check of yourself at the end of each day, and don't forget your purpose as an educator. 

The One Where my VA Services Blossomed

I come to you today with a truly excited heart! I have been working on the side for years as a TpT seller as well as a virtual assistant helping other teacher-preneuers out there, but this summer my Virtual Assistant Shin-Dig has blossomed! It has truly grown and I am happy to say that this is the entrepreneur side whom my heart loves. 

Completing these tasks for all kinds of ladies and gents is where my heart is. I absolutely love anything to do with graphic design and working along side of others. I want your shops to flourish. I want your lives as little entrepreneurs to grow. I hope all of your dreams come true in the realm of TpT ladies and gents. You all deserve nothing but that! 

I want to take a step back. Just a moment to breathe and take all of these blessing in. I am truly blessed. I have two beautiful children, a great job as an educator and I have been able to pursue my passion all during this pandemic. I want to thank all of you out there that has allowed me to assist you in working on your masterpieces this summer or even in taking your shop to the next level. I am full of happiness and all kinds of emotions. 

XOXO,

Casey

Barnett's School House 

The One Where COVID 19 Happened

School is coming back in session for me as well as many others come August. I’m excited, little nervous, as well as anxious. I’m not really sure what to expect. How about you ladies and gents? I find that holding a zoom meeting to discuss our opening up plans is coming soon. I also feel that doing this means it isn't really that safe to return to school, but honestly, what are we to do? What is the system supposed to do? 

We can't legit shut down our lives and stay isolated. My own children are suffering, mentally and emotionally being on quarantine. I cannot imagine how many children have suffered as well as adults. This has been one trying year. I have never seen anything like it. 

I do know I’m ready to get back into the swing of actually not wearing lounge pants haha, but in all seriousness, I'm a little scared of the idea of going back to work. I don't know what the outcome will be. I don't know if we will have to shut down ASAP. 

All of the unknown's scare me like crazy, more so then I let show. Hopefully, we as educators can return to work without showing our fear and also be able to be there for our students. It's going to be an anxious time come early August for this gal as well as many others. Good luck everyone!!

In the meantime, me and my girl love to play dress up. I have to admit, I'm a little excited about this part of returning to work, minus the whole mask thing. Dread that to be honest. The adorable earrings me and my girl are wearing are from @poppyandjunejewelry and my dress is from @emmaksclo

Life's a Dance

I took a moment today to breathe a little. Life gets too fast and we just don’t slow down. I have littles to chase and dreams to turn into reality for them, and for me. What is your dream in life? I'm a teacher and I absolutely plan to teach until I am retirement age, but I also have other dreams in life.

I find so many times I have worried in my life about what other's think of me. Those days are behind me. Sometimes you realize all too quickly that you are stuck in a vortex, that the people that surround you are not who you need to be with. Some of you may laugh, some of you may just roll your eyes. I don't know. I will say this. Life’s too short to worry about stupid things so live it!!! 

In this shot I'm wearing an amazing find from TJ Max and some J. Crew shorts.

XOXO,

Casey
