Thank you Loft for appreciating teachers with this wonderful opportunity to receive discounts at your stores.  This is my number one favorite store for clothes and with the discounts I feel like a professional when I wear your clothes.  My daughter who is in college and working on a teaching degree thought She would never shop at the Loft, but now she is there more than me!

So many choices, so many things I could do. First, Spring Break will give me the opportunity to focus on my graduate school portfolio, which I will have to defend in less than 3 weeks! O.O I'll can finally plan some guided reading activities for my little cherubs. But Spring Break isn't ALL about work. I've already taken advantage of the sunny days we had during the weekend to prepare my raised garden beds, spend some time pampering my herb garden, and to get some much needed rest! With the cold weather here once again, I'll just snuggled up with a blanket, a good movie, and a hot cup of cocoa. :) I guess the cats will join me too!

Helping the Homeless Women of DC

Last week I had a sleep over at school (WEDJ). The girls and I along with two group leaders prepared 50 bags of toiletries and 50 bags of lunch and took it to the homeless shelter in DC.

The women were very grateful.

Our next visit would be on mother's day to take clothes and flowers...If you want to be part of this project...let me know....it is very rewarding

Hoping the weather gets better for us and kids for rest of spring break.

by Kristine B.

I am in my last three days of break. The first was spent with my daughter as my fellow teacher husband taught intersession. This second week our daughter has returned to high school and we are enjoying time alone. After knowing him since we were 12 it's still great. We are doing the most mundane things, but it's quality not quantity which counts. I speak from 22 years of marriage experience and I am 46. Just know one thing for sure Teenage years can be great if you remember your time and try to explain to them the way you wish your parents would have to you. Also if you use a few f bombs and s bombs and let them too discreetly it creates a pressure release. Lastly, when your daughter is 5'9 and you are 5'3 1/2 and she wears a size 11 shoe and you wear a 7 it's great. Each of your shoes are your own. However everything else is up for grabs. I am short waisted and 38D and she is long waisted and 36DDD. We have the same inseam.

Cherish the time on break with family, friends and Ann Taylor Loft,

Lauren
