It's a Florida Blog Hop!

I'm so excited to be teaming up with a bunch of my fellow Fl blogging buddies to host a fun little blog hop!  

For this Blog Hop we're going to be telling you a little bit about where we live in the Sunshine State, why we love it, and offer up some goodies…as well as a GIVEAWAY!

I live in the northern part of our state.

Right here in Tallahassee!!!

{I did my best to point to the general area in which I live…ha}

LOTS!  We are the capitol city of Florida.  All things political happen right in our downtown area.  Here's what our capitol building looks like:

That front building is our old capitol building and that tall building sticking out from behind it is where you will find the best view of Tallahassee! You can take a ride to the top, the 42nd floor and have a panoramic view of our city. 

I took my kinders on a field trip to the top this year! They LOVED it! :)

Here we are in front of the back entrance to the capitol.

We might not all look that excited because it was 100 degrees and we had spent most of our morning walking outside…poor poor planning!

Even though we're the state capitol of Florida, what we're really known for is FOOTBALL!  We're home to the reigning National Champions…the Florida State Seminoles!  Go Noles!

If you live here, you bleed garnet and gold all year round and you most certainly count down the days until football season returns.  

Home games are by far the best experience! We're all about tradition and a good tailgate! :)   

Here's a pic of me and my besties at one of our tailgates!  I'm on the far left.

Here's another one. Just in case you wanted to see my holding a different red solo cup! :)  I'm on the far right. This is my bestie (2nd from left) and her sister and momma (she's a teacher, too). Love them!

Our stadium, Doak Campbell Stadium, is definitely a sight! Made entirely of brick, it seats over 82,000 fans, making it the 14th largest stadium in the NCAA. It's a beauty and I'm not being bias! Come check it out for yourself :) 

Now that I've got you all wanting to come to an FSU home game (right?!) we'll move on to the goodies…

Alphabet Trace Book Freebie

This little freebie is an exert from my new alphabet pack!

I love this packet and can't wait to use it with my kindergartners this year as we introduce and review the letters of the alphabet.  It's also great for small group and working with RTI.  Here's a preview of what's inside.

Snag in the next three days while it's on SALE! :)
