I believe I have blogged about me in the kitchen. It's not pretty and I should not even be allowed in there. It's a dangerous place for me. I've had many accidents that should not happen to an adult. The only time I'm truly accident prone is in the kitchen. I had big plans to be in the kitchen this summer. I have been a pinning maniac on my WW board. I started WW about a month ago & already am off the wagon. I jumped back on yesterday. That whole WW thing is a WHOLE other topic. We won't go there because I'm supposed to be talking about the garbage disposal. So.....last Thursday I started feeling really sick. I had a super busy weekend & never caught up on my sleep. When that happens...watch out! I get sick! So all day Sunday I was a whiny sick baby & then I had to go to work on Monday for my last teacher day...blah! I downed some DayQuil right before I left & two more times before I came home. I was literally … [Read more...] about Me vs. The Garbage Disposal
End of the Year Student Awards
Holy Mama! I had no idea what a hit these awards were going to be for my students and all of you. I was pleasantly surprised when I went browsing on TPT this morning & saw this product of mine was in the top 5! Holy Schnikey's! I about fell over! My husband just doesn't realize the feeling of being on cloud 9 over this. Not only am I filled with excitement that this product was actually purchased...I am thinking about all those little nuggets that will be getting these awards all over the world. That my friends made my entire school year! Thank you! I spent so much time on this product and added the full page color & b/w option last month. After creating this last year & watching my own students rip into those candy bars, they had nothing to keep :o( I really wanted them to have something to add to their collection of memories from our school year. So I decided to make the exact awards with a full page color or b/w option. I am … [Read more...] about End of the Year Student Awards

We Love Our Moms……….This Much!
As I was lying in bed last night (wide awake at 2 am) I was thinking about a photo shoot for Mother's Day. You know I love changing things up from year to year....especially when I have siblings. So this is what I came up with last night & it actually turned out better than I thought it would.... LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! I had sidewalk chalk leftover from last year's photo shoot on our last day. Did you miss that??? Check out this fun filled post HERE. Anyway, my student teacher and I went to town this morning. I was sweating..yes I worked up a sweat trying to get this masterpiece done in the 10 minutes I gave myself before the kids arrived. Turned out pretty adorable if you ask me! We surprised one of our co-workers with this pic of her daughter. Happy early Mother's Day to her! All my kids ended up wearing our sunglasses. It was so sunny that they couldn't look up so you might want to be prepared for … [Read more...] about We Love Our Moms……….This Much!
