Hump Day

Well...it's Wednesday...

I am SO tired already...

Wishing I could sleep in till around 9:00...

and then have a leisurely cup of coffee...

perhaps read the paper...

and then take a nap...

New Invites

I have added a few new invitations

to my Etsy shop...

The first up...

Calling all witches...

This one is for a ladies night...

I'm SO loving the chevron 

and orange & pink color combo...

and the second I created for Goosie Girl's

birthday last year...
and since Halloween is approaching...

Switching gears...

The next one I just designed for a friend

whose little precious is turning one...

She wanted to incorporate a zebra print...

I love how it adds a tad of bling...

Do you have any parties coming up?

Rules

I'm still going over Rules and Procedures in my classroom...

I think sometimes they probably feel like this...

Happy Thursday!

A Navy, Pink & White Party

This party created & styled by Frog Prince Paperie

has been out for awhile...

but I can't stop swooning every time I stumble upon it...

The colors are simple yet SPECTACULAR...

I love how she incorporated the stripes with the geometric pattern
and then added pops of flowers...




Is this not just GORGEOUS?!

Click here to see more of her delicious eye candy...

Pink And Black Sweets

I don't know about you...

but I was ready for a post of pretties...

like these yummy treats...

They might just be too pretty to eat...

Everyone loves a cakepop...
Especially when they're displayed like this...

Zebra & monogrammed cookie bites...
oohlala...

Perhaps this cake might be more your style...
Pure gorgeousness...

Have a day filled with all your favorite sweets!

Sweet Friday - Worn Out

Wow...

What a week...

I am e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d and worn out...
especially after a marathon 6 hour meet your teacher...

I'm ready for the weekend to relax and catch my breath...
(doesn't this look SO inviting?!)

What are your plans?

Meet The Teacher

Today is Meet the Teacher...

My 6th grade babies coming in all nervous & excited...

Looking around the room...
Wondering about me...
What will I be like...

Luckily, just about everything is ready...
We have to ALL wear our school shirts...
but what I really wanted to sparkle in...
was this...

Always On My Mind

Preplanning week always leaves my mind

in such a clutter...

so much information being thrown at you...

Every year seems to bring with it a new way of doing things...

I write everything down...

hoping to remember it all...

but it can be rather overwhelming...



But let's remember to keep it all in perspective...
do what you do best...

Back Into The Swing

Boy it doesn't take long 

to hit the road running...

Once you get back in the swing of things...

it seems as though you never left...

This week is full of meetings & trainings...
No time to slow down...
drink the coffee as you work...
or in my case listen...
(wish I was wearing this outfit!)

Lots of data being thrown at us...

What's funny is Florida has adopted this new merit plan for teachers

from the latest & supposedly greatest guru...Marzano...

The schools don't provide teachers with the books (he wrote)

regarding the elements we are being evaluated on...

If we want to know...we have to go out and BUY the book ourselves...

Really?! 

Still trying to get my classroom together...

No time during the day to do it though...

Thank goodness I'm in pretty good shape...

All in all...

So far...so good...

On to day 2...

I think this is the motto I want to instill in my students...

Isn't that what it's all about anyway?

(I like her outfit too)...

The First Day Back

I can already tell you
that I'm NOT liking this getting up early bit...

But it's time to celebrate the start

of a new school year...

Anticipate the little treasures
that are going to be with me for 180 days...

Chit-chat with my colleagues...

Just ready to light it up and sparkle!

Welcome Back!

Sweet Friday - Official End Of Summer

Well...this is my last official day of summer...

I'm am so going to miss the slower pace

that I've so come to enjoy...

like savoring my morning coffee...

without having to rush to get ready...

Sleeping in late...

being able to take a nap...whenever...

lingering over dinner...

reading books...at the beach...

just thinking and recharging...

Farewell Summer...Until next year...
