By now, we’re thinking 2013 is here to stay…Twenty days into the Big 1-3 and we’ve finally turned the page on 2012, had to void a few checks that our pencils just refused to write the new number on, and we’re cruising towards 2014 for one reason and one reason only…13 is an unlucky number!
But, we’re bound and determined to turn that little superstition around this year because we cannot go around throwing salt over our shoulders for 365 days we’re just “glass half full” kinda gals…
So, to avoid walking under ladders, crossing paths with black cats, or knocking on wood until our knuckles hurt, we set out to find all things fabulous so far in 2013. And, by “set out” we mean shop…But, you might have already figured that out…
One of our favorite finds so far are these lil’ insulated mugs from Costco. Have you seen these? They are spill free and we love them because they come in a Job Share pack of 2 for $20 bucks. You can’t go wrong.
Christy’s been going the tea route lately, so she boils the water and brews the tea right inside the mug. Then, she seals it up and treks to school. By the time recess rolls around at 10:00, she’s ready for a spot a tea (typed in our best English accent) and it’s still piping hot! Seriously people…this is BIG! Bigger than 1-3. We cannot remember the last time we actually had a full cup of anything hot. A sip, sure. A half a mug, maybe. But a full cup?!?!
And, they come in so many cute colors that you could literally coordinate the mug with your outfit.
Not that we would…That’s a little odd…BUT, we totally could.
The next fab find of 2013 is for school…of course…
Our classroom walls were built to hold absolutely NOTHING!
It is a total enigma…
They built a school.
For kids.
Who do work.
Work they expect us to display.
On walls.
Walls of a classroom.
Walls of a classroom that refuse to be friends with staples, tape, glue, or anything that remotely signals
“Hey Wall…I wanna stick to you!”
But, that all changed when we discovered Stikki Clips.
They have wax on the back and a little plastic clip on the front and we are new Besties.
These little guys are all over our classroom. We even use them on the ceiling!
Seriously, just squish them on whichever surface and slide anything thin into the clips. Voila!
Our unlucky streak is a changing.
Take us to VEGAS.
They are a little pricey, but you can use them over and over again. The wax just keeps sticking!
So, there you have it.
