Happy New Year everyone!! I hope your holidays were fabulous and that your new year has been wonderful so far! Thanks for joining Pelicans and Pipsqueaks and me for this month's Thoughts on Thursday. Today we are talking all about resolutions! A new year brings new opportunities for growth and change, both personally and professionally. Now is the time to try something new, change up a bit of your routine, decide to work out once a week, anything! This is will be easy to keep! Some of my resolutions for this year are: 1. Be more positive. 2. Save money. 3. Plan things better. 4. Go to Disney. 5. Win the lottery. Okay so maybe 5 is a long shot but hey, resolutions are meant to be exciting! In regards to 1, I'm being more positive about what and how I eat - keeping it clean, whole, healthy. Though I will occasionally (or more often!) eat my cookies and cakes! As far as saving money goes, nothing frivolous! That includes not eating out when not necessary, not purchasing anything t...

Hi guys!! Welcome to another Thoughts on Thursday! Thanks for joining Kristi and I for December's topic: Your Favorite Christmas Traditions! I love Christmas! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. There is so much going on all around the city and the state and the Internet and everything! I know in our family we always do Christmas in a big way. One reason: my grandmother was born on Christmas Eve and we have her birthday party every year on that day. We do it themed and have the best time. One year we did the Grinch! We also have our Elf, Sparkle. She has a pet reindeer, Ginger. And graphic tees.  We've had Sparkle for about 7 years now. She comes each Thanksgiving and hangs out with us.  Another family tradition is the purchase of our Hallmark Keepsake ornament for the year. This year it's bittersweet because it's the final ornament in the Santa's Sweet Ride series. We started this when Carly was six and this is the tenth and final one.  Carly and I wa...

Oh my goodness you guys! I cannot believe that my Punchie buddies and I have been blogging together for a whole year! The Primary Punchbowl is turning 1! It is so exciting to share our celebration with you. I am so incredibly fortunate to know each and every one of the amazing Punchbowl ladies. They inspire me all the time and I am always in constant awe of the fabulous-ness of their lives! So in honor of our celebration we are giving you cause for celebration as well with TpT stores on sale, a blog hop to gather some freebies, AND a rafflecopter to enter for a chance to win some more goodies! My entire store is on sale for 20% for three days. Enjoy! How do you celebrate exciting things in the classroom? I love to give kiddos a special treat such as line leader for the day or a giant pixi stik or a bag of candy loot. They love just to have happy birthday sung to them by the whole class! It's a policy of the school that we don't do cupcakes or actual parties so acknowledging t...

Hi guys! Has your fall so far been going by in a very busy blur of pumpkin flavored everything and stuff to do? Mine has and it's insane and awesome! I'm so happy to be back today with my #bloggybestie Kristi from Pelicans and Pipsqueaks for Thoughts on Thursday for this month.  We are talking about Fall in the Classroom today! Why? Because, pumpkins of course.  There are so many way to celebrate fall in the classroom. You can do pumpkin things, turkey things, bat things, leaf things, coffee things-ok, maybe not so much that last one. But you get the idea. I wanted to share with you my favorite ways to celebrate this special time of year! I love to read books about all things fall. A few of my faves include:  The Biggest Pumpkin Ever, by Steven Kroll How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara Apples and Pumpkins, by Anne Rockwell From Seed to Pumpkin, by Wendy Pfeffer Scaredy Cat, Splat, by Rob Scotten Pumpkin Hill, by Elizabeth Spurr and my FAVORITE Spookley the ...
