Three Elementary Math Activities Elementary math activities are fundamental to any elementary classroom. These three elementary math activities are super easy to set up and the kids love them! I use these activities during the month of May when the kids are wanting to be on summer break or on a dreary day to liven up the classroom a little. These elementary math activities are great for reinforcing basic addition, subtraction, and counting skills. If you are interested in these elementary math activities you can find out more here. Keep r...

Change (verb): to make or become different Like most people, I do not enjoy change. However, in some instances change is good. In this case it is very, very good. First, welcome to my new blog! I decided a long time ago that I didn't really mesh with my old blog design anymore. In my exact words, "It's way too much glitter!". A few years ago I thought the more glitter you had on a page the better it would look. Which was true for the most part up until everyone switched over to a more simplified/adult feeling blog design. So, with that in ...

Hi all! On Fridays, I decided to start a little post called five for Friday. This is where I am either going to share my top five moments from my week, my top five new discoveries on Pinterest, or a mixture of both. 1.  My new chalkboard calendar!!  I absolutely L O V E this calendar. I found it at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. It is still on sale and you can find it here. I also bought chalk markers with it and it literally has been the Best Buy ever.  I know, I know, I already have it set up for July, but there are only two days le...

It's no secret that at Christmas time, Santa decided to bless us with an adorable Australian Shepard puppy. Her name is Sadie! True to her nature she is HYPER to the extreme!!! She also went through that puppy stage of chewing/biting/ripping apart E V E R Y T H I N G! We still think she is in that phase, but she hides it very well! To save our sanity, we decided to try out Bark Box. I ordered the first box last Wednesday and it was here by Saturday. Here is a look at the inside packaging which was so cute and doggie themed. Eac...

It has taken me a while to wrap my head around this post and exactly what I want to say...... Some of you may know that our sweet little girl arrived a bit earlier than expected.....about 6 weeks early. (She didn't even let me attend her baby shower) There were some medical concerns which caused me to be induced and our little girl to make her arrival sooner and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I get an extra month (summer break) to snuggle, kiss, and pamper her. :-) Usually I reserve my blog for posts dealing specificall...

My pregnancy was pretty much by the book. Except for the fact that I basically knew when I was pregnant at week 3 (my friends can attest to that). Week after week, appointment after appointment, everything was going smoothly. Until June arrived. June came around and that was the busiest time of the year for us. We were busy getting ready to close on our house and preparing for our baby shower. I will forever remember that weekend. We had our closing in the morning and a baby appointment later in the afternoon. The closing went off fine exc...

Hello everyone! I know, it's been since the beginning of 2017 a long time since I have posted anything new on my blog. But, I have several good reasons for my absence and I can't wait to share them all with you!!! 1.) Life happens Currently my husband and I are in the process of building a home, which needless to say comes with a lot of other struggles, headaches, setbacks, surprises (both good and bad), and emotions just to name a few. I also will tell you if you are thinking about/going through this process it is not easy by any means. W...
