Life Lately
what I've been up to...
I have been back at work the past two weeks working on enrollment & student’s schedules. Tomorrow all staff will come back to work & Thursday will be our first day with students. Prayers for all are appreciated!
On the bookshelf this week!
There’s nothing better than a sister that supports + encourages your passion. Thank you for the extra decor for my guidance classroom, sister!! Can’t wait to help decorate her therapy office someday!
My fav breakfast this week has been chia seed pudding! Are you interested in a recipe? 4 ingredients! Y’all know I’m a simple girl.
I got a new iPad for school this year, so I had to get a new case. So cute!!! Love that it has a place for my Apple Pencil.
Eager to try these two new flavors I just got in the mail this week! My code (SIMPLYSMALLTOWNBLOG) for LiquidIV is always active & will get you 20% off + free shipping!
outfits of the week...
During the school year I did a pretty good job at consistently sharing my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet. However, because it’s summertime, sometimes I don’t even get dressed lol so I’ll share as much as I can, but it’s definitely not as big of a priority for me like during the school year.

what Bethany is learning...
My sister, Bethany, is currently doing the Craving Community bible study with a group of friends. She is really learning a lot & is going to share a few things each week that really stood out to her!
1. Good things take time and whether we like it or not, we are conditioned to wait.
2. God is able to make friendships bloom in your life, but you have to have the patience to wait for His timing on when it will happen.
3. As you are continuing to seek God for friendship, it is important to not forget to ask Him to make YOU the kind of Godly friend that you are desiring to have.
4. A question that I have been praying about and thinking about throughout the week: "Do you have friends in your life who know how to go before the throne of God on your behalf and bear your burdens with you?"
in case you missed it...
Here are the top ten things y'all loved the most from July! Some really great & affordable pieces for back to school!
As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.
If you follow me on Instagram or LTK, then you’ve probably noticed that I have really stepped up my game when it comes to collages of sales, outfit inspos & new items. Well, that is all thanks to my younger sisters, Bethany & Avery. They’re “poor college students” & my mom & I were looking for some extra help on the blog, so it just made sense to bring them on board! We’ll be compiling all of the collages into one post each week so that they’re all in one place & to give those who don’t use social media a place to find them! Check out their post by clicking here!
Next up is my Friday fashion favs post!! Click here to read that one. It’s a goodie if I do say so myself. ;)
I recently purged my closets & posted about it on Instagram. I had a bunch of people asking if I’d be selling those clothes, so I created a private facebook group to share them! If you’d like to be added to the group, please send your name & email & I’ll get the link sent to ya! You can either comment below if you feel comfortable, or send me an email at simplysmalltownblog@gmail.com
Follow me on Instagram (@simplysmalltowncounselor) or on LTK (simplysmalltowncounselor) for more outfit inspiration!
