Just your friendly reminder that a flowy floral dress + sunshine through the screen door = the unofficial uniform of happy mornings around here. Linking a few similar dresses that work just as well for errands, art time, or front porch coffee chats.

When your skirt’s handmade from the Maasai market and your tank is from the “I just woke up but still cute” collection.

This skirt was handmade at my favorite stall in Kenya—bold, bright, and perfect for art class, therapy chats, or chasing kids around after church.
Wearing my usual uniform: easy tank, slides I can sprint in, and a headband to pretend I’ve got it all together. Linking similar pieces for fellow teachers + counselors who dress with heart (and a little flair).

This easy, breezy pair of flowy pants has been on repeat for spring days in the classroom and warm afternoons in Kenya. Light, comfy, and classroom-appropriate (even when the power’s out & the fans aren’t working). Linking my exact pair + a few similar neutral favorites for teacher life on the move!

Teacher Outfits

When I was putting together book lists for the kids’ dorms, I noticed just how many medical-themed books I’d tucked in. From dermatology to surgery to what bones are made of—it wasn’t random. So many of our incredible kiddos here are brave enough to face hospital stays, routine checkups, or unexpected clinic visits. I wanted them to have stories that help them understand what’s happening, to feel empowered, and to even imagine themselves as the doctors, surgeons, and caregivers they see on our visiting teams.

These books are especially great if you have a child who’s in and out of the hospital or curious about the body and how it works. They help put language and imagination to things that can feel scary or confusing. A little knowledge goes a long way in helping kids feel safe.

Looking for ways to nurture your child’s social and emotional growth? These books are wonderful companions on that journey! 📚💛 From tackling big feelings to developing self-regulation and kindness, each story offers a beautiful lesson in emotional intelligence.

In Miss Lauren’s Creative Corner, we believe that fostering empathy, mindfulness, and resilience starts early. These books can spark powerful conversations with your little ones—whether they’re learning to be brave like The Bravest Lion 🦁, calming down with The Calm Down Jar 🧘‍♀️, or discovering how to handle worries like in What Do You Do With a Problem? 💭.

What books are you wanting add to your library next? I’m always looking for new ones to add to our dorm library wishlist for here on campus!

Todays art supplies earrings were a big hit!
