http://3newkirk.weebly.com/meet-the-teacher.html
Meet Mrs. Newkirk. Since then, I've gotten my Masters Degree in Elementary Administration, although I'm not planning to move into the principal's position anytime soon!

You can learn more about Midway's SW-PBS program here. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Milk Duds. Sonic Unsweet Raspberry Tea. Spending time playin...

School Picture Day: Purge.
http://www.school-picture-day.com/2015/03/purge.html
About School Picture Day. Saturday, March 28, 2015. After reading the book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo, my entire mindset has changed when it comes to decluttering my home, my classroom, and my photography studio. It seems as if God continues to put things in my path to remind me that this life is temporary. Our stuff doesn't matter much. It definitely doesn't matter as much as the people we love and the experiences we have. We only have about eight weeks of school left (how is...

School Picture Day: Halfway There.
http://www.school-picture-day.com/2015/07/halfway-there.html
About School Picture Day. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. We're basically halfway through summer. Less than a month and I'll most likely be back at school, preparing for the school year. I've gotten a lot accomplished over the last month and a half. Some of you might remember the book I read in March. Called "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up". I will admit that now that I'm done, I'm getting ready to go back through the categories one more time before school starts. I've also started the Whole30 program.

School Picture Day: Broken Together.
http://www.school-picture-day.com/2015/03/broken-together.html
About School Picture Day. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. I am a music person. I could sit here and name off song after song after song that have touched me in some way. Songs can sometimes touch me so deeply that I listen to them on repeat for weeks at a time. Many times, I hear a song that speaks to the core of what I'm feeling inside. I feel like if Mark Hall (lead singer of Casting Crowns) and I knew each other in real life, we would be great friends. Their newest song is called "Broken Together". How I w...

http://www.school-picture-day.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
About School Picture Day. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. This summer has been a summer of many changes in the Newkirk household. First of all, I started the KonMari process right when school was out and pared down our clothing, books, paper, and other miscellaneous items throughout the first few weeks of summer. I am looking forward to doing one more big "purge" before the school year starts, but already the house feels so much more "light and airy". So I ordered one. I started working away to figure out the ...

About School Picture Day. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Spring Break. Sigh. All school year, I've been planning for all of the progress I'm going to make over this one week.my beloved spring break. I made a list MONTHS ago of things I wanted to accomplish over this week. And to be honest, I've met some of my goals. Of course, my lists are always extremely long and drawn out and more detailed than anyone would ever need. Not to mention the fact that they're completely unrealistic. Dreaming of actually keepin...

School Picture Day: June 2014
http://www.school-picture-day.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
About School Picture Day. Friday, June 27, 2014. Budgeting, the Newkirk way: Step 3. Today, we're going to actually get a preliminary budget down on paper. The first step is to choose a form to plug things into. This can be a paper/pencil format, an online budget-building tool, an excel spreadsheet, an app, or a template on Microsoft Word or Pages for Mac. Surprisingly, although I prefer technology for everything else, for this step I use paper and pencil. Start by filling in your estimated income. When ...

School Picture Day: Morning Struggles.
http://www.school-picture-day.com/2015/03/morning-struggles.html
About School Picture Day. Thursday, March 19, 2015. I feel like some days I am the worst morning mother ever. In the whole world. We try so hard at night to be prepared for the 6:30 am "walk out the door". We lay out clothes. We shower at night and try to get to bed as early as possible (we try for 8:30 and occasionally make it before 9:00.maybe I'm the worst evening mother ever, too! But even with all of this preparation.I still turn into a screaming lunatic at some point on many mornings. Harlee, could...
