Happy September! This week’s Lost In Thoughts is inspired by back to school. I live between Boston University and Boston College, so I’m acutely aware of the return of the college students. Tuesday was moving day, so the start of school can’t be far behind. In fact, I believe many area elementary, middle, and high schools started yesterday. Everywhere I go there are back to school sales and promotions, so it’s definitely been on my mind!
Found Terrarium by Design*Sponge
Instead of paying big bucks for a fancy glass dome and specialty plants, you can just go on a scavenger hunt around your house or neighborhood and have your own charming terrarium in a matter of minutes. This reminds me of a science fair project, and I think I just might have to try it out for myself. Check out the post at Design*Sponge for a complete how-to.
School Bus Vinyl Decal by Decomod Walls
Ah, the school bus. It just screams back to school. The huge seats and lack of seat belts beg for misbehavior, if you ask me.
If you’d like a bus of your very own, you can pick up this vinyl decal (and many others) from the Decomod Walls Etsy Shop.
Every time I go to Black Ink I have to resist the (very strong) urge to buy this tray. I. Just. Love. It. There is something so nostalgic and amazing about this product. The seafoam green, the compartments for food, drink, and utensils, and the overall awesomeness just get me. Come on, wouldn’t it be cool at a dinner party? (Yes, yes it would.)
This video has two classic scenes from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. So funny!
Today’s questions: Did you have teachers like this guy? Did you have a favorite teacher or subject?
You may have noticed that I’ve been adding all of my new designs to this site and to my Etsy shop. Please feel free to comment, blog, tweet, tell your friends, talk about, and become a fan of Everything Little Miss! I truly appreciate your support and encouragement; it keeps me going. Thank you!

P.S. If you’d like a little lesson today, re-visit School House Rock. Ha!
