It's CURRENTLY... January Edition!

I think I've done pretty good on my blogging! Maybe it's because I am home. Or maybe I am trying to hold onto my resolution! Anyhoo.. pretty proud of myself! Today I am linking up with Farley from Oh, Boy! 3rd Grade and her monthly linky party. I'm a tad late... I think I haven't linked up in a while and I am like 290 or 300 by the time I finish this post! So, let's go!

: 

Listening: Yes, to Snoopy! For like the billionth time! My boys love Snoopy and never fail to laugh at the same parts over and over again! I love the sound of their laughter; DON'T love the sound of bickering as to who gets to watch what next. I know some of you out there can relate!

Loving: Being relaxed!! Yes! I have to admit I am a workaholic. I am type A personality to a T and I never stop. I am even sitting here working on stuff before I started this post. I wish I could slow down time so I can relax some more and I wish I could slow down my boys growing up!! We had a great NYE together!! We went to a park downtown and had lunch al fresco! 

Thinking: Holy he%@!! I am 37 today!! Please don't tell me I look 37!! Today is my birthday!! I celebrated yesterday since my husband was home (he went to work today-- sadsville!!) and we had cake! That's all I needed!! 

Need: A Pedicure!! I've been wanting one bc I will be honest, I have horrible cracked, dry, heels! The kind that I know they cringe when they see. Hey! I say it like it is!! Brian and my dad say it's because I don't wear socks! Not so sure but I want pretty toes again!! It's a purely selfish need!! 

Memory: I am looking at my tree and thinking that I need to put it down. My motto is, We put it up together, we take it down together and reminisce about the ornaments we added and the moments we shared over the holidays! 

We go back Tuesday so I am excited to have a few more days!! I am working on posts that I hope you will always find more useful and come back to weekly. One of them I would like to try to do is "Math Mondays"! Where I share with you some centers and strategies for you to use and implement in your classrooms. Got any ideas that you'd like to see? I am thinking of a few.. Check out these cute $1 items I saw today at Target and Dollar Tree

Isn't this little mailbox the cutest??? Target has them. I bought 5 of them and have some fun ideas and centers to share with you!! Check back soon! 

Love these little boxes from Dollar Tree. 

I saw these gems at Dollar Tree, too! I have red ones as well. I love to buy little simple things for my class to use!!

Thanks so much for keeping up with me! I have a little freebie for you! I was working on a larger unit but got distracted... Click on the picture to download!

Have a GREAT night! 

Currently...July Edition

July is almost upon us and this is my 2nd linky that I am participating in.... I have linked up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade's Currently Linky Party as a way to break out of my blogging shell! I am still *new* to the blogging world and just getting to know some fabulous bloggers and have seen these "Currently" posts and decided to join in! Fun times! So as I posted in the Doodle Bugs linky... I have been getting up pretty early this week and will be next week and almost every weekend for the rest of the summer... *sigh*

Anyhow, we are obsessed with the Big Bang Theory! Brian and I  (when he's home) watch it every night and crack up hysterically! 

My favourite character is Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Here are some of his greatest moments!

LOVING.-- Ginger Dressing! I so could drink it with a straw!!!Although I am not much of a salad eater, I do LOVE salads in the summer because they are cool and refreshing and I recently went to Publix and bought a salad kit with ginger dressing and now I am hooked--again! I go through this every summer!

THINKING.... I don't know about you but I am the kind of person that cannot turn school off-- well sometimes. I did this week-- kinda, sorta, maybe! It was in the back of my brain but with all this waking up early it just wasn't in the forefront of my mind (although if you do follow me on Pinterest you will know I was pinning away!! That counts, right? LOL!). I was thinking that I need to start working on my Wizard of Oz room decor! I was on TPT and saw so many CUTE back to school classroom decor and while it is all lovely, I need something to fit what I need for my room. So I am still in the creative processes of thinking what I need to create for an Oz inspired room. I know that it will be rainbow and chevron and of course infused with the Oz characters! Also, I was thinking I need a tan! Seems funny that an already brown person needs a tan and the answer is YES! I do! My upper thighs don't quite match my legs... So I guess I can catch up on my work at the beach!

I really want to go here! I have never been! Have you? There are so many places I want to go and this is one! You would think with Brian being a pilot we could go anywhere! Not so much! Nope! Anyhow...a girl can dream.... One day....We are on lockdown for a few weeks (jury summons-- moan, grown, hiss) so it's a BIG BUMMER!!!

So, I was thinking that if I wasn't a teacher... what would I do? Honestly, I would love to be a decorator or a party planner! I love to decorate and plan! Hence, the need to decorate the boys' rooms and bathroom. They are growing up and need the decor to go with it. Here are some pic inspirations I found: 

Both boys love Star Wars and the Avengers! I think they would be happy with either. Mommy would be happy going here for my inspiration:

I could live there! They have those little room motifs, a cafeteria, TV's... Seriously, they have EVERYTHING! 

And lastly, my one blogging tip I have learned is that I have to be me in everything I do. I have just started out in blogging (I started out in March), creating and selling products products (well, not really-- I have always created them just have not sold them on TPT but I am slowly but surely putting them up. My girlfriends at school crack on me when they see my flashdrive with my bajillion files on them-- all potential TPT units!!), joining groups/blogs, and if I have to give advice to someone starting out: be authentic! Always strive to be true to you and that in blogging you are creating an extension of yourself and your classroom in the hopes of sharing ideas, stories (the good, bad, and ugly). My personality shines through my blog and that is really how I am in person-- although I think my humour and candor is a bit dampened in words... Catch me in person and you will see the difference! Haha!

I hope that you have stayed with my this long and enjoyed reading my "Currently"! I look forward to getting to know some of you!
