Things I love...



I'm so excited about Mrs. Snowden's Giveaway!  I'm wanting to start my own little blog for my classroom and am in LOVE with how cute her blog is!!  You should definitely do yourself a favor and stop by!
I'm also in love and OBSESSED with Pinterest!!!  Have you become addicted as well?  My word!  I could spend all night on there! 
I'm also loving my new classroom theme..pirates and can not wait to get back into my room and start setting things up.  Okay, I can wait but it is exciting!!  If you have any adorable ideas/pictures/links/etc... that have to do with pirate/nautical themes I would LOVE to hear/see them!  I've already snagged so many ideas but would love some more!
I'm currently working on repainting a stool and I must say... I'm going to be giving myself some major props in the next few days!  It's turning out so good. I will be sure to share as soon as I finish! Woohoo!  Guess this is my second "what I'm loving Wednesdays" post :)

Ahoy Mates!

I'm SOOO excited!  After months {and I mean MONTHS} of pondering what theme I wanted to incorporate in my classroom this year, I've decided on Pirates!!!  I must say it was the inspiration of the creative mind of Jodi from Clutter Free Classroom that finally helped me in deciding on a theme!  She is just amazing!  If you have not stopped by her blog you just MUST!  I can spend hours on her blog alone!


YAY!!  On another note I can NOT put down Debbie Diller's book!  I'm excited to begin her Spaces and Places book next.  Her books are filled with so many wonderful ideas that are EASY to incorporate in the classroom.  If you're looking for some amazing FREE math station games and such head over to Lory's Page!  She has some wonderful resources!  

And finally .... I've reached 200 followers!!!!  Never thought that many people would be interested in reading about me and my adventures in teaching but I'm so excited and honored!  Thanks for stopping by!

Are you Built.

My amazing husband {whom I will celebrate our 4-year anniversary with next Thursday...woohoo} has taken on a business adventure that seems to be really growing wings and taking off.  A year and a half ago he started his own clothing brand.  As of right now it's just set up for men, however, he's in the process of creating a woman's and kids line right now!  I'm so excited about this little endeavor! 

His clothing brand is called Built. and was created after years of dealing with horrible fitting clothes.  My husband is a very average - athletic type guy, average height and weight.  He had trouble with his shirts fitting him well.  They were always too wide and too short and were thick and uncomfortable.  Enter Built. Clothing.  He has created an awesome brand that is simple, sleek, and comfortable and the shirts are slimmer and longer.  This means when your husband raises his arms his belt buckle {or tummy} won't show!  I'm so excited for him and really wanted to brag a little on my amazing man.  

You can check out the website HERE!  It's not your typical website and I recommend you have the volume on your computer turned on.  There's lots of silly humor on it as well.  Just a little bit of his personality {and his business partners} mixed in. 


Check it out and tell us what you think!  We're always looking for ways to improve!!  :)
