Five for Sunday!

Last week was exhausting and so of course I didn't last very long once I actually made it home Friday night and for some reason this never posted last night!

I'm feeling fresh and renewed today, so I'm linking up for Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs Teaching!

Here it goes...

Monday was Minion Monday and the kids had a blast! And of course I found even more fun minion things at the store today...oops!

We had our awards and gifts presentation on Tuesday because we had full to the brim half days coming up and I wanted this to be special!

Wednesday, we used play dough to make CVC words! You just can't beat scented play dough that "smells like our markers!" The kinders were very excited!

I actually blogged! It was crazy to realize when the last time was that I actually blogged. Need to get better about it!

Friday was our last day of school and we celebrated with my favorite end of year traditions...ice cream cone cupcakes!!!

So that was my week! I'm off to go decide what should be put in our garage sale and start pricing!

Currently June!

OMG! The last time I blogged was in January?!?!?! I know this makes me seem totally blog slackerish. But I promise there's good reason for my absence! Since the last time I blogged, we bought a house, I got married, we honeymooned, and now it's the crazy end of the year which includes at least a room change (that's a whole other story which I can't divulge very deeply at this point!).

But now I'm back! And I'm linking up with the wonderful Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade! for Currently!

Listening: I do my best work with a little background noise! I couldn't help myself when I saw that Identity Thief was on.  Makes me laugh everytime.

Loving: We bought a house in February and have done some work on it.  I love coming home to all the hard work that we have done.  We have more we want to do, but I'm loving all the changes!

Thinking: I have two days left and I have to finish report cards. So much procrastination!

Wanting: So self explanatory! This year has been full of ups and downs and absolutely amazing life moments...ready for a little relaxation and destressing!

Needing: So I'm definitely changing classrooms next year, so I've got to get things packed up. Did I mention I have two days left!?

Summer Lovin': Looking forward to more house renovations and some relaxation.  I am also ready to begin my journey with 21 day fix! I got everything in the mail and just need to get a routine started with it!

This summer is sure to be great. Can't wait to spend time with the hubs and enjoy a bunch of married firsts and fun this summer! 

Sunday Scoop

So I was blessed with a snow day on Friday and planned to get lots done...including a blog post. I did indeed accomplish a lot around the house, but did not get around to a blog post.  So I thought I'd give it a try this morning!  Gotta love a good linky...they make getting a blog post in a bit easier!

 I am linking up with The Teaching Trio for the Sunday Scoop.

I have a lot to accomplish this week (one of which needs to be accomplished today...lesson plans!) especially with my report card deadline looming! And I need to get in touch with my DJ.  Do you have a favorite song you love to hear at weddings? Leave it in the comments...I'm still trying to put a good list together!

I hope to get ahead in my lesson planning this week.  I have a few bridal showers coming up and it would be nice to have my lesson plans finished so that I wouldn't have to try to get them done over the weekend.  I am also hoping to make it to the gym this week. I have had a terrible chest cold for over a week which has not been mixing well with my asthma. Wish me luck!

I'm happy that we have a cake tasting scheduled for this week and I'll be turning 30! A week of fun and some half days thrown in the mix as well!

So there's my Sunday Scoop! Have a great week, and hopefully I'll make it back for a blog post sometime this week!

Currently January!

So it's been a few months! Oops!  But I am resolving to be a better blogger this year (at least after March!).  I'm linking up with Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade for her Currently Linky!

Listening: Nothing like a little Florida Georgia Line in the morning.  One of my favorite gifts I received was a bluetooth speaker that syncs with my phone.  Love it!

Loving: It's been so nice to be able to spend as much time with friends and family as we have over the past couple weeks! I could handle a little more time...how is it already Friday?!

Thinking: I get to go for my first wedding dress fitting today! I am super excited as my dress was not supposed to be in until the end of the month.  Happy last day of break to me!

Wanting: Another week off to put more time into the house we're buying.  So much wallpaper! It needs to come down and get painted.  It will eventually get done, but I'd love for it to be done sooner rather than later!

Needing: To finish one item before I start the next.  I just have so many things I want to get done.  So I start one and then begin the next so my idea is in the computer! Bad plan!

Yes...I did switch to a closer and friendlier gym over break! And then got a cold!  Heading in after my dress fitting today!

Maybe...I am really planning to be a better (more consistent) blogger this year.  It just might not be all that consistent until after the wedding in March.  There are lots of little things that still need to be figured out!

I Wish...that the previous owners of our house had put the wallpaper up properly so it wouldn't be so terrible to take down.  Slowly, we are getting it done.  It is just not the easiest process at this point!

Have a great Friday and make your last day of winter break a good one!

September SLANT box

So I've had SLANT box for a while, and I am FINALLY getting around to posting about the absolutely awesome contents of my box.  So here goes...for September, I was paired with Tami from O-H So Blessed!  It was great getting to know Tami over the month, and her box was fantastic!

Here's some pictures of the fun!

This mug is just awaiting its first use at the new house! Super cute!

Goodies to help me keep sane with work, wedding planning, and home remodeling!!!

These chocolates are wonderful and have been shared with the fiancé and my kinder teammate! Everyone can use a good piece of chocolate here and then. 

And my newest Chapstick obsession. I keep these everywhere...multiple rooms in my house, my classroom, my purse. I am a Chapstick addict!

And thanks to the wonderful Jameson at Lessons with Coffee for taking the time to collect everyone's info and partnering us all up! It's definitely a great addition to my month!

A blog post...what?!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted on the blog. The beginning of this year has been really busy. I finally feel like it might be calming down a little...I hope!

With that being said, I'm linking up with Doodlebugs Teaching for Five for Friday. Here's what's been going on this week:

1. We have been practicing our counting and one to one correspondence skills during math centers. What is more fun than using spider rings to count? This is posted in my store for 20% off for 24 hours...or you could win a copy!

2. We also used the spider web baskets to help us practice our new popcorn words (sight words) during literacy centers. Magnets are super fun!

3. I love Grey's Anatomy!  And while I was out shopping at my finance's family store...look what I ran across. Christmas present for the bestie?!

4. Got to spend some time at the farm this week with the fiancé. Had to snap a picture of the truck and it's little growth!

5. We have been loving the sight word booklets from Maria Manore. It's so nice to be able to practice so many skills with one activity...popcorn words, cutting, gluing, ordering letters to make a word, coloring in the lines! So great!

That was my week. I am going to post a photo of the spider web counting on Instagram. Head that way to win your own copy...or buy a copy of your own, 20% off for 24 hours! Have a wonderful weekend!

Also, be sure to check  back tomorrow to see what I got in September's SLANT box!

A Little Late to the Party!

So I am linking up with the fabulous Farley over at Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the August Currently.  I am only a few days late to this party!  Anyways, here goes it...

So Orange is the New Black is my new obsession.  I have heard people talk about it and just never got the time to check it out.  So I started watching it a few weeks ago.  I am completely finished with season one and am currently making my way through the second season.  It is so incredibly addicting!

This past week has been a whirlwind of crazy busy-ness.  But I wouldn't change any of it!  It's been great!  But it's now bumming me out that the summer just got extra great and is now coming to an end for me!

I have a wedding to attend this weekend.  I am in real need of a pedicure and I would love a manicure to go with it!  I usually shellac my own fingernails, but I am kind of wanting to just sit and be pampered...too bad it gets a bit pricey!

My boyfriend and I have been trying to get together with some family all weekend and it just hasn't been working out.  So I am really, really pushing for it today!  I love getting together with family and just spending some time together.  Especially in the summer when I don't need to worry about lesson plans and such on a Sunday afternoon.

I put this together before I headed to the gym and it somehow didn't post.  So I can now check heading to the gym off my list for today!

The first day for me is still a little bit of a toss up.  But I'm hoping to get into my classroom before then to get some stuff done anyways!

Here's the last bit of info I have for you today...tomorrow starts the big Back to School Sale on TpT.  My entire store will be mark 20% off and you can get even more saving while checking out by using the code BTS14. Thanks to Krista from The Creative Chalkboard for the cute sale graphic!

My newest and current favorite product will also be included in this sale!
