Five for Friday!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for her weekly 5 for Friday Linky!

I simply LOVE being home with this little lady.  However, I am horrible at doing fun teachery stuff with her!  So, I am going to start making more of an effort and we started with water colors!  It was the cutest thing ever-- she started painting her nails with it.  Haha, I have such a diva!

This past week I blogged about this adorable book!  I was also doing a giveaway.  Congrats to Christi Messner!!!! I will be contacting the author ASAP with your information.  She will be sending you a copy! Yay!!!

Oh my word ya'll------ this pie is amazing!

I found the recipe on Pinterest from In A Southern Kitchen.  It was so delicious and so easy!  I will definitely be making this again!

I am over 500 followers on TPT!!!!  I have been so blessed to be a part of this amazing company!  If you haven't followed me yet-- please go do it now! Yay!!!

Here's a little MLK roll and cover math FREEBIE in honor of him!

What an inspiring man!!!

Have a great weekend!

14 in 14 Linky Party!

I'm linking up with some lovely ladies to take a look back at 2014!  Click the picture above to join in the fun!

This quote has been especially true this year.  For so many years the thought of being a stay at home mom was not an option.  Thanks to Pampered Chef and TpT I get to take some "time off" to be a mommy!  I love both of my jobs!!!!

Even though Sara Jo looks like a diva in this.. (she is almost always a diva) but anyway, I love collared shirts.  Especially my denim one. :)  It's the perfect amount of comfort and cute!

I loved this movie for so many reasons.

 I seriously LOVE this show!!  And just in case anyone hasn't seen the season finale.. I won't discuss why I am so happy at this moment! haha

 I could seriously eat here a couple times a week.  Not every day, but almost every day if I was given the option.  My husband has to tell me, "Not Blue Coast Burrito" on occasion.  Some days, I take Sara Jo and we eat lunch there.  Shhh-- don't tell him!

 

I know I've said it before, but I seriously LOVE being a pampered chef consultant.  I know it's not for everyone, and I honestly never thought I would do direct sales... but it has been a huge blessing for my family and me!

I'm also a bit obsessed with Jamberry nails.. :)

I only tried them out about 2 months ago.  So fun and cute!

Well, it isn't Christmas just yet.. but we had Christmas with my family and I'd have to say I love the book my mom made us. :)

Everything I pinned for Disney!!!! We go in February! I cannot wait!!!!

 

I love to teach sight words, but I was even more excited to watch the views sky rocket on this post! A few weeks ago it was over 40,000.  I'm too lazy to see what it is currently sitting at. But still, it was a fun post to write and really neat to see others enjoy it!

 

Completing my M.ed in Instructional Technology!!!

A mother's love.

My photographer captures some of the best moments!

She is AWESOME!

Taking Sara Jo to the beach for the first time!!

It is VERY hard with a toddler.  No laying out and reading a good book while you hear the waves crashing against the sand.... There is chasing and sand in places you don't normally have sand.  However, the look on her face when she would splash in the water was well worth it!

1.  To get back into shape

2.  To promote to Director with the Pampered Chef

I want to make sure I keep my priorities in tact this next year.  I want to continue to grow all my different businesses, but keep God and my family first!  Hopefully, I can get better at that.. Almost every momma I talk to about this struggles with it as well.  Whether you work from home, out of the home or not at all-- it seems to be a constant battle.  Praying I work hard to know when to say no and when it push on!

2014 was a great year, but it was also filled with tragedy and hardship.  I will be welcoming 2015 with open arms!! haha

Have a Merry Christmas!!!

Monday Made It: Merry Kiss-Mas!!

I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for a Christmas Monday Made it Edition!

Have you tried these A-MAAAA-ZING kisses?!?!  Oh my word.. I could eat an entire bag!  Well, so could my toddler.  Which brings me to this blog post..

You would think, being a "stay at home" mom I would make all kinds of crafts and cute things for her class and teachers at her mother's day out program.. Well, I don't!  I just get busy with stuff at home, pampered chef, my blog, my tpt stuff.. ya know LIFE!  So, I was determined to make something (ANYTHING) to take to her class for their Christmas party... and no I was not taking cupcakes!!! UGH- hated that as a classroom teacher.

I made these simple little tags.  You can grab them for FREE here.

And went to work...

Only about 30 minutes later.. I had them finished. Yay!!!

I might be just a bit proud of my Pinterest inspired student gift.

These would be the perfect Christmas present to your students without spending a ton of money.. just saying!
