You know that feeling where you’re so tired you actually feel a little bit drunk? Thats how hubs and I were feeling a month and a half ago when we first moved into our new place. This was our first big move together and the first time that I truly regretted being such a damn hoarder. I had no idea that I had accumulated so much in the two years since my last move.
You know you’re obsessed with food when the first boxes that you move are filled with baking equipment…
So I know its not actually Friday but I have a super good reason for not being able to post anything yesterday. I was away on camp this week and spent all last night in a dark room trying not to move on account of my all over muscle ache and roaring headache. Staring at a bright, back lit screen was the last thing my body was able to do. Clearly i’m getting too old for this! (quickly though, I freaking love Year 7 camp. The kids are so eager and friendly and we do some sweet activities – surfing anyone?)
Today is a quick favourites post to get me back in the loop. Also I have a sweet cupcake recipe coming up next week so if you’ve been hanging out for a new recipe, you’re in luck! But today its all about accessorising in my favourite way – quirky pins.
I love wearing pins like this sweet little jewelled bumble bee on the collar of my shirt or the lapel of my blazer. I think it gives my outfit a little quirky kick and makes it interesting for any students i’m boring as I chalk and talk in the classroom. I imagine a little brain here and there dozing off into day dream going something like this – blah blah blah Shakespeare blah blah beware my lord of jealousy blah blah wait. Bumblebee?? Then clearly they will be so intrigued they’ll be listening to what i’m saying. Right? Right? Maybe.
At the very least, it can be a subversive way of working around a restrictive dress code. Although, I must say that while the pin above is a favourite of mine, I don’t think i’d get away wearing this one at work! I’ve built up a whole trove of these babies over the years and now im making it my business to bust them out left right and centre. After all, whats the point of having nice things if you don’t use them? A resolution of mine this year is to stop letting things like these collect dust but use them as much as I can.
So how do you lovelies like to accessorise? Or what would you do if you could be bothered? Lets face it, sometimes just rolling out of bed and putting anything on is such a challenge on a Monday morning…
So I had been going great guns with my resolution to properly commit to my blog in 2015. Until moving day arrived. After the wedding, hubs moved in with me and my roomie until we could find a place of our own. After a couple of months, we signed a lease for a sweet little art deco apartment and eagerly awaited the day we would move into our first marital home. As per usual, the whole move was (for me at least) a case of ‘out of sight out of mind’ and I didn’t really think too much about it. Until last weekend, when moving day came.
Suddenly, I wanted nothing more than to just crawl back between the sheets and hide from the world. If only I could remember what box I had put the clean sheets in. The idea of striking out on our own suddenly seemed overwhelming and far too grown up for us to be undertaking. Everything everyone says about moving being horrible is absolutely true, but, a week later and with most of my stuff finally in our new apartment, its starting to feel pretty damn good.
So long Casa KB, welcome to Casa Salerno!
Sorry for the break in transmission but I promise I will be back to my usual blogging shortly.
How did you guys cope with moving? Or, like me, did you not cope? Surely i’m not to the only one!
This week is totally cray cray. Work went back for the year and, for some reason, I thought it was a good idea to move house this weekend. Hubs and I are moving into a first home together which is pretty exciting! Anyway, I chose Hundreds and Thousands for this week’s Friday Favourites post because it harks back to childhood days of fairy bread and these delicious hundreds and thousands biscuits. Basically, days where everything was much simpler.
