February Already?!

HOLY cannoli! Where did the month of January go??

I feel like the last five months have FLOWN by and I'm kind of actually sad about it… because that means my kiddos will be moving to 4th grade soon! And if y'all don't know… my first year started with the absolute BEST class possible. They are great kiddos - very bright, fun, and each have their own personalities that I love to death.

Regardless… it's now February!! Here's to another great month at home and at school :)

I'm linking up as usual with Ms. Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade for her Currently linky!

Listening - I'm watching a movie I loooove on ABC Family - Holes! And listening to my puppies play tug in the kitchen. I'm so happy they get along so well… sometimes they don't but most of the time they do!

Loving - being in the South, I would not expect snow days. BUT we got that horrible ice storm and it paralyzed our city. We don't have the means down here to be able to "dig ourselves out" - no salt, no beet juice, nothing. So, when it hit, there wasn't much we could do about it but stay home and not venture out. Those that did realized how dangerous the ice was and turned right back around to go home. But we were given 3 snow days and MAN I couldn't have been more excited - nothing reminds me of home like snow days! :)

Thinking - we're going to a Mardi Gras Ball for the Coast Guard on the 21st and I FINALLY got my dress yesterday!! It's yellow and has jewels all throughout the upper bodice and on the straps. It's absolutely beautiful and will match Cody's uniform like no other! I'm SO excited.

Wanting - again, being in the South, we are SO not used to these freezing temps. We had lower 20s and upper teens throughout the week, yet this weekend, we're going to reach the 70s! I am SO excited because this is my favorite weather and I would love to stay in the 70s year round.

Needing - I have SO many different units started full of activities I've done in my own classroom… I just need to fine tune them and put them together… but I'm so lazy and when it comes to time after work, all I want to do is sleep! I just need to sit down and do it!!

2 Truths & a Fib - One of these is a fib and if y'all know me, y'all know which one it is! Read below to find out.

-My fav movie is The Lucky One - TRUTH! This is one of my favorite movies because it so hits home with me. I love the storyline and the fact that it deals with the military, it gets me every time. Love me some Zac Efron, too! Yummy!

-I strongly dislike elephants - FIB! If y'all know me, y'all know I absolutely LOVE elephants. If I could, I'd have an elephant living in my backyard. I've always dreamed of living on huge farm land where I could have my own elephant - while this dream would probably never come true, I imagine that the elephant would be BFFs with my puppy like Bubbles and Bella or Tarra and Bella.

-When I was little, I wanted to be a dentist - TRUTH! I loved the thought of being a "scientist" (I thought because it dealt with science that it was considered being a scientist) and being able to help people smile. I loved that my dentist was sooo friendly to me and it made an impression. But then, one day I went to shadow my dentist and man, I hated it. It was so much grossness and I honestly sucked at science. SO, that's when I decided to be an interior designer which turned into a teacher - my true calling :)

SO, what are you currently into? Link up over at Farley's blog & share it with the world! :)

The First Currently of the Year!

Helloooo all & Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a great New Years Eve & have a GREAT 2014.

It's time for currently! Farley posted her first currently for 2014.

I am LOVING the design by my friend Tanja from Journey of a Substitute Teacher :)

Anyways, here's my currently!

Listening - It's completely SILENT in my house. OH how I love it… so calming.

Loving - Cody gave me a watch for Christmas and I am in LOVE. It's beautiful - a tan color and it's got jewels for the 12, 3, 6, and 9. I LOVE IT!

Thinking - We go back to school TOMORROW. Yup, you read that right - tomorrow!! I have missed my kiddos though so I'm excited.

Wanting - I want to make sure 2014 is a great year. I know it's just a new day in a new numerical year (as I've said to Cody over and over again), but I want to finish off this school year strong and start the next school year off just as strong!

Needing - I need to get to my classroom to get things set up for tomorrow! Yet, I still haven't made it past the couch and it's almost 10:30 AM here… procrastination queen here.

Memory - My memory of Christmas this year was getting to go home. I hadn't been home in over a year, so it was definitely bittersweet! I loved seeing my family and Cody's family, but I was brought back through a bunch of memories of high school when I went home. Again, bittersweet!

So, what are you currently thinking? Loving? Wanting? Link up with Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade!

Happy New Year!!

August Currently!

I BROKE A BLOGGY RULE!! I blogged twice today... oopsie. BUT, I couldn't wait to join Farley for her Currently party!

I've missed out on the last few so I wanted to make sure I got in on this one, especially so I could check out the other B2S must haves :)

But, before I begin, I wanted to do a mini shout out to my brother...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!!

I  am so proud of the man you have become and I'm so happy to be able to call myself your sister. You're just as much my brother even though we're not "related" and I cannot imagine my life without ya!! Have a BLAST today and I'll see ya soon!

Here's my August Currently!

Listening:

I'm obsessed with HGTV again. I wasn't for a while but now I'm back at it again! Been watching marathons of House Hunters, Love It or List It, and so forth.

Loving:

Since I'm done with school, I've now got TONS of free time!! So, on vacay next week, you better believe I'm doing some personal reading and chilling by the pool ALL. DAY. LONG.

Thinking:

To go with loving, I'M DONE WITH THE SEMESTER!! I hated this semester... I don't feel like I learned ANYTHING. Frustrating but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the grade sometimes.

Wanting:

I really love the beach. It's my favorite place in the entire world. The fact that we're a little less than an hour from the beach is fantastic, but it's the getting there that stinks.

Needing:

As a fresh-out-of-college kiddo, I would love to find my forever home at a fantastic school. I've gone on a few interviews and just reaaaaally want to find where I'm supposed to be :)

B2S Must Haves:

Blue Sky Planner - I love my BSP sooo much. It's small enough BUT big enough for all the things I have to write down. It's "half" the size of a normal planner, but I still love it. Here's a link to BSP and to the exact planner I have: Dabney Lee Horizontal Weekly Planner by Blue Sky

Post It Notes - who doesn't love Post It Notes? You can put them on anything, they help me stay organized, and they come in such pretty colors. I think this is my favorite Post It Note holder with notes in it: Post It Pop-up Notes Apple Shaped Dispenser

InkJoy Pens - I love these pens. They come in such fun, bright colors and they write so smoothly. And they seem to last forever! I use them for everything that I do and will always use them for as long as they are made. Here's a link to check them out: Paper Mate InkJoy Pens

Go link up with Farley for Currently, too! I'd love to check out what's currently going on with you ;)

Don't forget the Wishlist Sale is happening, too!! Check out the sale by clicking the picture below.

See y'all tomorrow for the #3 most wishlisted item!

June Currently & Reminder!

Now that I am like the 250th person to link up... it's time for CURRENTLY with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade!

Listening: I recorded Pixar Short Films like last week or the week before and I just can't get enough of them so I'm watching them. Love me some Pixar :)

Loving: I am no longer working so I have loads of free time... time to craft, read, watch TV, hang out... do homework (bahahaha).. or whatever I want! This will change come Fall, though, so I'm living it up now!

Thinking: I just spent the last 2 hours cleaning the house from top to bottom. Bathroom, bedrooms, living room... gosh, more square footage = not always fun!!!

Wanting: We have a Marble Slab Creamery here and they make the BOM DOT COM milkshakes, especially their birthday cake milkshakes. Well... it sounds freakin' delicious right now.

Needing: I have two assignments due today (mind you, they're short) so I should probably do them but I just honestly do not feel like it.. blah.

3 Vacay Essentials: Book = I love reading! Phone = it's connected to my hip... IG, FB, all the game apps... LOVE it. Bikini = you won't find me on a vacay unless there's a pool or beach near by. Therefore, my bikini is a necessity! 

Your turn to link up. Click the button above and head on over to Farley's blog!

DON'T FORGET!! Tomorrow starts...

Each day, I'll have a linky (except for Mondays... that linky will be over at Tara's blog, 4th Grade Frolics) that you can link up your posts with, too, if you choose to participate! It's up to you :)

See y'all tomorrow for MONDAY MADE IT!

PS. If you'd like to donate to my giveaway, tomorrow is the LAST DAY I'll accept donations. I just have to say that I am SOOOOOO thankful for the amount of support I've gotten so far. This giveaway is going to be a KILLER. Y'all will want to make sure you enter.. lots of goodies up for grabs!!

April Currently!

April Currently time!

This is one linky you will ALWAYS find me linking up with... gives me time and space to reflect! :)

Listening: Going through my normal morning routine... Today Show, followed by Price is Right, then Kelly & Michael... nothing... then The Talk, Let's Make a Deal, and Ellen. This is my DAILY routine :)

Loving: We have had AMAZING weather recently... warm and sunny. Last night, it rained a bit so today is colder, but the high is still 77!!

Thinking: My house is so dirty... it's because I have so much CRAP but nowhere to put it!! So, my Project Life stuff is in the living room... our folding chairs for soccer games are by the front door, there's boxes all over by the fireplace... GAH. I guess I should clean it on my "spring break" this week!

Wanting: Rain. It rained last night but for only about 20 minutes... I want rain for days and days.

Needing: I've started selling some of my craft things and I've made pretty good money for it! So, I need to get the rest of the orders out today :) I also want to create soooooo many new TPT products... I've got the ideas, just need the time!

Advice: Be friendly. If you are friendly to others, they'll be friendly to you. Hold discussions and fix things that are wrong - someone at work said yesterday... kill them with kindness and they'll be nice to you :)

Your turn - go link up!!

Have a good day y'all!

March Currently

WAIT. Hold on.

Is this the 2nd straight day of blogging?! Holy cannoli... alert the police! :)

Time to link up with Farley for Currently!

First of all, I've gotta say that I LOVE this currently's looks. The colors are just gorgeous!!! Nice job, Farley!

Listening: FINLLY getting to watch This Means War with Reese Witherspoon (LOVE). Hope it's good!

Loving: My momma is currently at the airport waiting to board her plane to fly down and see me!! I haven't seen her since November so I am BEYOND excited to have her here with me for 5 days!! :)

Thinking: My puppies are having big time tummy issues... and keep eating rocks outside. I love them, but they are SO weird!

Wanting: If you know me... you know that all I do is crave sweets. ALL. DAY. LONG. So, I'm wanting a brownie... good golly Molly...

Needing: I have 2 more assignments left that are due tomorrow... I should probably get on them, but blogging is MUCH more fun!

I kinda cheated on this one - 2 more words than what I was supposed to include - oops!

Like: summer - self explanatory 

Love: sticky notes - what teacher DOESN'T like sticky notes?!

Hate: spiders and snakes scare the bejeezus out of me - they're so crawly, slithery, weird, gross, scary.. ahhh!! 

Go link up for currently if you haven't already! If you're a newbie at it... you will LOVE it. Go now!

Off to do those fantastic projects... have a good day, y'all!

February Currently & A Sale!

Holy cannoli! It's already February 1st!! Where the heck did January go?! I guess time flies by when you're having fun... :)

Anyways, time to link up with Farley over at Oh Boy, 4th Grade for Currently! Here goes nothin'!

Listening: self explanatory!

Loving: we live in Mobile, Alabama - the weather has been GORGEOUS. Just the right temperature to keep the windows open!

Thinking: I had some cookie cake after dinner for a treat and I'm really craving some more... bad sweet tooth, bad!!

Wanting: I cannot WAIT to have the craft room complete. Of course, pictures will follow :)

Needing: I'm falling behind on classwork this semester.. it's not as fun as last semester! I also signed up for a V-day card swap so I need to get on that :) cannot wait to see the finished products!

Pet Peeves: I hate HATE hate when people lie - why not tell the truth and have me mad at you for that rather than tell a lie and have me be mad at you for lying AND for what you did??? GRR. I hate when people promise things and then break it - like I promise to call you, and then don't. Or, I promise to hang out today, but they don't. That leads into bailing on plans - don't agree to do something if you're not going to or you don't want to - just say no!! Simple as that. RANT over. :)

What are you CURRENTLY listening, loving, thinking, wanting, needing, and pet peeving!? Link up with Farley so I can find out!

Oh ya... there's going to be a big ol' sale on Sunday that many TPT stores will be participating in! Some are doing the sale for the BIG Super Sunday only and others are doing it for Sunday and Monday. TPT themselves are only hosting the sale for a day - SUNDAY!

I'm going to be participating for BOTH days - Sunday only, you will receive up to 28% off your purchases (with promo code SUPER). On Monday, I'll still have my entire store on sale for 20% off. Don't miss out on this sale!!
