I know I chose the right profession when...

{either that or I am really nerdy, I will accept that too}

1. I got wayyy too excited about a Smart Board. Seriously. I had a little tutorial at the clinic today and I am obsessed!! (I know I'm way behind the curve on this and all my Speechie friends who student taught think this is old news) But I have seen so many cute ideas/lessons/games today that I actually said out loud 'I want to stay in school so I could use this awesome thing!'  I get it honestly.... My Mom said Smart Boards made her want to return to teaching.
Kid you not, best thing since sliced bread.

2. I was thrilled by a new pack of pens from Staples. I stood in line for 20 minutes today to order the multi-colored pack. Because why would I want to write in black if I can write in fun colors?!

3. I printed new return address labels and it put a smile on my face. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to send more snail mail and these labels totally motivate me.

I Heart Charleston Restaurant Week

At the beginning and end of tourist season {January and September} the city of Charleston hosts a restaurant week where you can eat at the best restaurants for a lot less $$$ than normal!  We love to take advantage and try new restaurants that we wouldn't normally go to.  We are so spoiled by all the great restaurants here and have a lot left to try!

Since I'm home on Mondays and Tuesdays this semester for my internship, we could have a fancy Monday night date night at Cypress.

I Pinned It, I Made It!

My recent Pintrist recipe finds...
Chicken and White Bean Enchiladas
{These were a good change from the normal enchiladas I make--I like the Cannelloni beans in them}

Make Your Own Smoothie Packets
{I made 5 baggies this weekend and already need to make more!
I also added a little protein powder in the blender to make them more filling)

Autumn Chopped Salad & Golden Winter Squash Soup
{I made these for my Mom's Progressive Birthday Dinner
The party goers loved them and they were easy to make ahead of time}

Homeade Fit Granola Bars
{From the Dashing Dish blog --she has tons of great recipes with calories already listed and many are GF.  
These bars had good flavor and texture. They were a tad crumbly, but I don't think I added enough honey/syrup. Next time I'll add more!}
