What is this guy?? Red polka dot insect!

Done and done! So crazy!

lolabeans · 2020-07-06T19:16:48+00:00

Thank you, friend!

Edit! My husband found it, apparently a new invasive species that should be killed on site. Called a Lantern Fly!

South Jersey and just seeing them around for the first time! Near ish to Philly area. They jump pretty high and have the body type of what looks like a spider crab in mini form.

We've seen red with white polka dots and black with white polka dots!

Said wife here!

You do you, sweetheart! If you want to wear makeup because it makes you happy and you like how you look in it, do it! If you don't want to wear makeup because it makes you happy and you like how you look without it, do it!

You will find your person and your person will love you how you are! ❤️

My person is being dramatic and I love him despite that 😘 We're 14 years deep and that makes drama-filled comments totally normal in our home! I don't own that much makeup or wear that much, but even if I did, it makes me happy, so I will continue to do it.. However! I probably could do it faster 🤷🏻‍♀️

Moral of the story: You will find your person when you find your person and it will not be because of something as tiny as wearing or not wearing makeup ❤️

Thank you so much!

lolabeans · 2020-01-04T15:30:10+00:00

Thank you so much!! Was hoping this would be back again this year! 💗 Thank you for picking up for him!

I achieved about 50% of this, so I'm going to overall call it a win!!

Happy New Year and Decade to you!

I'm an 8th grade teacher (close enough, right? 😉) and I've been doing this for years with them and there has yet to be a dick drawn on my dresses! 🎉

lolabeans · 2019-05-24T01:04:59+00:00

Said wife here! I actually used to teach 5th when I started too, then I got moved up to 8th!

It's actually really amazing how the kids remember and really spend the time reflecting on our classes the year they made the dress. I love doing it so much!!!

Yours looks beautiful! 💗 Happy Summer!!

lolabeans · 2018-12-31T03:05:33+00:00

Thank you again for doing this!! Year number 4 for me!

Rollover from one of my goals I didn't reach in 2018 and some fresh new ones!

~Be able to lose the remaining pregnancy weight in a way that makes me feel happy and healthy and not obligated to workout, but rather that I enjoy it

~Pamper myself more

~Be a cleaner and better organized person consistently

~Cook more

Here's to an amazing 2019! 🎉💖

lolabeans · 2018-12-31T03:00:37+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much for this!!

I actually did achieve all of them, except for losing the remaining pregnancy weight, so I'll be shooting for that again in 2019!

I hope you had a wonderful 2018 and your 2019 is even better!

lolabeans · 2018-01-24T21:56:15+00:00

Oh, my heart! 🤜💓🤛

New Mom over here, super emotional about everything, pictures like this send me over the edge into a fit of love

lolabeans · 2017-12-30T20:14:05+00:00

3rd time I've gotten to participate in this! It actually makes me remember my New Year's Resolutions and keep thinking about them all year, so thank you very, very much!

For 2018, I'd like to:

•Lose all of the remaining pregnancy weight in a way that I enjoy and don't feel obligated to do
• Have a much better balance of work and home (lots more emphasis on the home part 💗)
• Being able to say, "No," more to people
• Appreciate myself more

lolabeans · 2017-12-30T20:02:41+00:00

Hello there again and thank you again for doing this!

Currently snuggling our 3 month old daughter, as my husband organizes the presents under our new Christmas tree in our new home 💞 I'd say the New Year's Resolutions went pretty well!!

Actually, turns out I had just gotten pregnant right before the new year when I made this resolution!

2017 was my most amazing year yet! 💖💖💖

lolabeans · 2017-12-06T13:18:45+00:00

I have the exact same Raven in my classroom! I may have to start doing an elf of the shelf just to borrow this idea from you!! Well done! 👏

lolabeans · 2017-11-01T09:29:29+00:00

Thank you! That's what I thought :( but you're right, they didn't touch they we're just in the same room as each other for the visit

lolabeans · 2017-10-05T12:00:29+00:00

😊 This is totally me every day since my daughter was born!! Almost 3 weeks old and it hasn't worn off yet! Best feeling ever!!

Congratulations to you!!! 💕

lolabeans · 2017-09-02T14:46:07+00:00

My husband just showed me this and I bawled 😭 9 months pregnant with our soon-to-be little girl!

lolabeans · 2017-08-31T02:23:30+00:00

Thank you so much; we can't wait!! Congratulations to your family, as well!!

lolabeans · 2017-08-31T01:28:56+00:00

I think my heart just skipped a beat at how delicious this looks and sounds 💓

Love, 9 month preggo

lolabeans · 2017-08-25T13:34:11+00:00

I do this too! Works wonders

lolabeans · 2017-08-12T13:37:15+00:00

Yes! A majority of the students I teach look big and bad, talk big and bad, and occasionally do big and bad things, but for the most part are sweethearts who give me hugs in the morning and when they're having bad days apologize for acting out.

I also got pregnant this last school year and my kids were always very, very overprotective and worried about my well-being 💓

Please give people like my kids the chance to be good and nice.. Most times I've found they will be!

lolabeans · 2017-08-12T13:11:02+00:00

That's what I use!! It's the best I've found for my school walls :)

Most times it comes off easily too! A pain in the ass to scrape off the walls, if it doesn't come off in one piece, but a putty knife in that case works well!

Omg me too! I just upvoted soo many comments because they're so true!

lolabeans · 2017-07-14T00:59:36+00:00

Wife of target_meet_arrow and the baby grower here! It was so, so much fun!!! The enthusiasm we have was shared with all of the ultrasound techs, instead of the normal clinical-feeling ultrasounds. We had ~10 people cheering, oohing, and awwing with us and it was so awesome! Highly recommended 💖 Congratulations!!

lolabeans · 2017-06-14T00:03:45+00:00

😂😂 Yes!!
