Meet the Teacher Blogger!

Hey There!!! 

It's been a little over a year since I began this cute little blog and I've loved every single bit of it! The sense of camaraderie and support from amazing teachers sharing and communicating with one another from around the world is UH-MAZING! 

That's why I'm so excited to join Stephanie Stewart from Falling into First and to make some new friends! If you're new to this blog, WELCOME and I hope you stay for a while! 

I'm a 20 something year old teacher living in Chicagoland area who loves to create, share with others,  and make new friends! 

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Aside from pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, I also love: 

Glitter, puppies, ice-coffee, popcorn, hydrangeas, sticky-notes, children's literature, cake-batter ice-cream, crafting, baking, Apple products, sparkling things, sassy book characters, mason jars, gold touches, vintage finds, and anything with a touch of leopard! 

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

A Party Planner! I love to make little moments into special lasting memories.  My mom always hosted the best home birthday parties for my siblings and I, people still talk about them! At the current school I work for there is a small committee of teachers who decorate for showers and celebrations at school in our teacher's lounge throughout the year.  I always have a ton of fun planning and creating with these ladies! Here are two of the celebrations I decorated this past year and I just loved how it transformed our dull space! 

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Thoughtful, Creative, and Organized....I figured short and sassy went without saying! 

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

Sure, I'd LOVE to watch that Blood Pathogen video again!  

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

Hmm...my family, friends, and you of course! I'd love Martha Stewart to plan the party, Ina Garten to cater, Dean Martin to provide the music, and Oprah to greet.
Wouldn't that be grand!?!?

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Yucky Girl
There's a story behind that...when I was a wee little one I would announce to anyone who could hear me everywhere that I was a, "yucky girl" meaning to say that I was a "lucky girl". My family still tells me how 'yucky' I am! 

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

I'm not sure if this is a superpower, BUT, I'd love to have Zach Morris's power of time freezing.  Remember in Saved by the Bell he'd stop whatever was going on to have a little convo with himself and the audience?? I want to be able to do that! 

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

I'm a big fan of Jesus and The Beatles...both of these are two of my favorites! I've been contemplating getting a second tattoo with The Beatles 'Let it Be' :) 

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 


"I Saw the Light" by Wynonna Judd. Should you ever hear me sing that, you're in for a treat.
Or at least I think so. Ha!

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?  

I can rock 10am like nobody's business, but if I had to pick,  I'd say I'm a night owl.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TPT ITEM IN YOUR SHOP? 

I am a sucker for bright colors, just ask anyone who's shopped at a mall with me. I'm very easily distracted by color and sparkle! I'm still rather new to TPT, but I love my Reading Strategy and Skill Posters!  I post these on our classroom Focus Board and refer to them during Guided Reading.

Q:SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

Hmm...you might not know that I'm the oldest in my family and definitely the shortest. By a lot. Our heights are 6' 6'', 6' 0'', 5' 11'', and then little old me at 5' 2''
