Five for Friday

It's been a looooong time since I've linked up with Doodle Bugs for some Five for Friday linky fun. The end of the year has me going all kinds of crazy! So much to do in so little time!


I only have four days of school left! I'm so ready for summer, but I'm also going to miss my group. I hope I've been the best teacher I could be for them. I'm going to miss those babies! <3



I'm reading James and the Giant Peach to my class these last few days. I loved this book when I was a kid, and am glad to now share it with my class. We should be done by Monday.



These mystery messages from the amazing Cara Carroll have been a lifesaver in my classroom! My kids love these. Seriously, one of the best things I've purchased on TpT in the last few months.




Rain, rain, and MORE rain in Texas! Every day on the news there are stories of flooding. Hopefully more sunshine is on the way soon.




I shared this pic earlier on my Instagram, but am so excited about it I wanted to share again. I'm attending my first blogger meet up Saturday! I can't wait to meet other teacher authors/bloggers in my area before the big conference in Vegas. I'm nervous and excited, hope I don't do anything dumb!

Don't forget to link up and share your week!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Teacher Appreciation!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week my friends! I hope you are all shown the love, pampering, and appreciation this week you are so deserving of.
Earlier today I posted a pic on my Instagram of the gifts I gave my team. Sorry I didn't clear the table before snapping this pic, oops!
I found everything I needed for the gifts at Target. Target is just a slice of heaven on Earth as far as I'm concerned. Each "pamper pail" included sticky and thank you notes, chocolate, nail polish, and a face mask. Let me tell you those Lindt chocolates are delicious!
And of course you've heard of the TpT sale right???
My entire store will be on sale! Save up to 28% off with the promo code ThankYou. I added three pennant banners to my store which I'm in LOVE with. Get a head start on decorating your classroom for next year!
I'm going to switch up my color scheme slightly next year, and I'm already laminating like a mad woman.





Fill those carts and happy shopping!

May Currently

I fail at blogging lately! There's been so much I wanted to share from the awesome poetry we did in April to sharing my weight loss journey post. I know y'all can sympathize with me. All sorts of crazy busy-ness going on at school. Help me Jesus make it until the end of the school year!
I'm linking up (late to the party, bleh) with Farley again for another month of currently fun.

Listening- Friday After Next is on VH1. This movie cracks me up.
Loving- I've recently discovered Kimberly Geswein fonts and I'm in love! I used One Thing to fill in my currently answers.
Thinking- I hope I can accomplish everything I set out to do this week! 
Wanting- I love when the weather warms up in Texas, but I loathe the allergies that come with it! God bless Allegra.
Needing- I have 3 new products to post in my store today. The only thing left to do is finish the previews. Does anyone else find themselves dragging their feet on preview creating?
Summer- This summer is going to be amazing! First, a teacher friend and I are heading to EdCamp Magic in Orlando then extending our stay by visiting Disney World! I've been to Disney World twice but that was 20 years ago. I squealed with excitement when our luggage tags came in.
Now all we need is our Magic Bands to arrive which should be in the next couple of weeks.
Who's ready for the TpT conference in Vegas??? I can be really shy but I'm so excited to experience my first TpT conference. 
Is it weird that I'm already planning my outfits? I hope to do some shopping while I'm there too!
I'm hoping to find a new apartment this summer that I like. I've been wanting to create this small office area, but don't wanna pour time and energy into something that I'll have to pack up and move in a few months.
My dream is lounging in the pool all summer, but I know that won't happen. So much to do and so little time for that.
Don't forget to link up and share your currently post!
