Suffering from FOMO!!



Tell me I'm not alone!! Tell me I'm not the only one who suffers from this! 

I have been apart of this amazing blogging world for almost THREE years now and have yet to meet a single blogging buddy in person. It's sad.

I read all the blog posts of wonderful ladies gathering together, eating yummy food, dishing gossip and tricks of the trade for hours on end, all while sipping on something yummy.  Confession=I'm jealous.  Simple as that.

I'm really feeling the FOMO since I'm not going to get to go to the National K Conference in Vegas again this year. :/    I was DYING to meet my "West Coast Kelley" among many other amazing ladies!

So here's the deal...I'm tired of suffering from FOMO.  I live in Tallahassee, FL.  I'll travel North, South, East and West. 

Who wants to meet up?!?!

Pirates aarrgghh COOL!


I am excited to join Tara in my first Made it Monday!

I have had a pirate-theme classroom for the past two years.  My room, however, was not very put together in terms of a color-scheme.  You couldn't really tell that it was a pirate-theme unless you really looked.  SO... I wanted to make some staple pieces that would color coordinate and tie it all in together!

So I made this!!!




You get calendar pieces, number posters, shape posters, a pennant word wall with the first 220 dolch sight words included, an alphabet banner, name plates, center rotation cards and signs, and items to use to create a behavior clip chart, birthday wall, and ship-inspired job chart.  Each of those are shown below.

Birthday Wall!

I've made each item available individually or you can just purchase the bundle. If you purchase the bundle you save FIVE DOLLARS! Imagine what else you can buy with those five dollars! Ha! 
Because I love all my awesome followers I'm making the BUNDLE on sale for $6 instead of $8 today only.  That means you save seven dollars!

I am so excited to get it all put together in my room.  I refuse to go in early this summer.  I really want to enjoy every second of being in my actual home! :)
Sadly, I only have a month left before I have to go back.  When do you head back to school?

Couldn't help myself.  Stuck in the house all day due to constant rain...again. :/  So...I made this too:


Check it out at my little store!

Pinning!


I am pretty excited about this new weekly linky party!  It's all about sharing your favorite pins from the week!!  I'm not sure about you, but I enjoy spending some time on Pinterest.  I find that I spend more time on there than blogging during the summer! {gasp}  If you wish to follow me, click HERE.


Here are some of my favorite pins from this week:

Teacher-related Pins:


My school is big on having a four-leveled rubric scale for all grades.  I have used a three-level self-assessment scale for my kinders for the past two years, but when I found this nifty little freebie I snagged it quickly.  This is a freebie that also comes with small bookmark size scales from Third Grade Doodles.  Click the picture to head to her TN store.


This is a genius idea and I'm so sad that it does not link back to the original poster.  :(  One "con" for Pinterest.
If this is your brilliant idea, please let me know so I can give credit.
These are facial cloths from the Dollar Store.  Here's the "aha"... Use them as dry-erase board erasers!!  Genius I tell ya!  I am going to get a class set and use them in our seat bags {more on that later this summer}.  love

Food Loving Pins:


I love breakfast foods.  I could eat breakfast yummies everyday all day long!  Pair it with the following pin and I'm in heaven!


Seriously!  How delicious does this look?  I can already taste it!  
No, I am not an alcoholic.

Click picture to head to where this pin apparently came from. :)

Do I even need to explain why I love this so much?! 
I wanna make this for every.single.occasion. in life!

DIY Pins:

I will be doing this to my filing cabinets at school the second I'm allowed back in!  Are you loving chalkboard paint as much as I am?


My other obsession...burlap! This is so fantastic.

Baby-Related Pins:
The hubs and I are finally at the point in our life when babies are on our minds!  These pins are for when the time comes.


This is seriously the neatest idea EVER.  You take all the text messages sent to and from during the day our your child's birth and then turn it into a memory book.  I so love this and will be doing it!

I just absolutely love this.  
This one did not provide a link back to an appropriate site.

Random Love:



My husband calls me this every night that he makes me wait to eat!
I've already purchased this little gem.


No link back.
I bleed garnet and gold and will till the day I die. 
Love those Seminoles!!


:)
That was fun!  Now I'm off to check out all the fun things you've pinned!
