Friday, December 26, 2014. New Year, New Goals! Here I am again, a month later, well-rested, and excited about the new year! I'm linking up with Mrs. D's Corner to share my New Year, New Goals:. My family and I recently re-joined my former church, the one from before I married, before I moved halfway across the country, before I moved back and joined my husband's childhood church. As new members, we went to a new member class for several weeks, and I had so many Aha! Same church class, different Aha!

Tuesday, April 15, 2014. New Hard Drive.the Good and the Bad! Last week, my computer was going a little nutty. I couldn't print. I couldn't blog. I couldn't save anything. Really, it was pointless for me to have the dumb thing! The sweetest tech-lady came from the district office and installed a new hard drive in my laptop. Awesome! It's so fast, and it prints, and I can save files, and all sorts of. I love, love, love having a new hard drive, but, and mine's pretty big (HA! What's a girl to do? Honestly...

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Fourteen Hours and Flip Flops. Meanwhile, I kind of dropped the ball on getting my TpT store ready for the big sale, so my sale began a few hours late, BUT I'm extending it through Friday, just in case you are in flip flop mode, too! Be sure to use the code BTS15 through tomorrow (hint, hint.I think TpT is doing a little extension, too) for 28% off. After that, I'm offering 20% off everything in my shop. Now, I have to ask you, is anyone nervous this year? MAYBE it's all of that!

Saturday, September 27, 2014. Finally a Classroom Reveal! Remember that list I made for summer? The one that said I'd try my best to just enjoy my time away from school, spend my summer with my girls at the pool, and not work? This was the day we arrived at the beach for our summer vacation. We stopped in Calabash (you've heard of the shrimp, right? For lunch before we even got to the house, but then it was straight to the surf! My mom found these belly tats, and everyone had. I rearranged this year, bec...

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. After five years of begging, pleading, and throwing fits in the halls (okay, maybe not), I am finally going back to fourth grade! I'm super excited and even motivated enough to give this little blog the attention it's been lacking for way too long. I'm moving on up from a teensy apartment to our own house! I'll tell you, I have learned so much through these crazy years, that I honestly wouldn't trade them for all the stability and the most beautiful house in the world. I've learned...
