Weird Science

Well, it has been a while! Forgive me. I have been busy partaking in all that the summer has to offer - travel, food, family, housework, etc. It has been lovely.

Alas, all things come to an end; I am returning to the world of the working in a few days - as a 7th grade science teacher! Earth science teacher to be exact. How cool is that? It is mega-nerdy and super-awesome all at once. I can’t wait. Here are a few science-ish things that would look great in my class!

State Fair

Another reminder that summer is coming to a close: State Fair! A visit to the fair is always entertaining. Some of the highlights here in Wisconsin are the piglet races, cream puffs (YUM) and all the dairy products from around the state (we are the Dairy State, if you didn’t know.) It usually makes for a fun, food-filled time - a perfect way to wrap up festival season. Here are some appropriate Etsy finds!

Barbershop Quartet Dress!

I’m in love. I saw this dress on Etsy about a week ago in violetvillevintage’s shop. I couldn’t handle it anymore - had to get it! The best part is that the print is a barbershop quartet - how adorable is that?! I don’t think I have to worry about wearing the same thing as anyone else. :) Can’t wait for it to arrive.
