You know I can’t resist a little craft time! Tara always feeds my crafty appetite with her amazing Monday Made It linky party, and I just LOVE linking up. I’m so bummed it’s going to only once a month.. but it’s probably for the best considering I’d spend hours reading others craftiness rather than preparing to teach π
Us over 8 years ago and then on our wedding day!
2.) I love Diet Coke. I drink very little caffeine (I don’t like coffee or tea) but Diet Coke definitely does the trick!
3.) I teach in the same school district that I went through 7-12th grade (I went to a private school before that)
4.) I have been a high school volleyball coach for going on 6 years now and I absolutely love it. I spend my summer and fall in a gym, but I love watching the girls learn and grow and love the sport!
5.) I have developed a passion for running! In high school and college I was a volleyball player who did the occasional sprints when I was made, but I disliked long distances. My daddy convinced me to do a half-marathon before my wedding, and ever since then I have been addicted!
6.) I am a shop-a-holic. Yes, a serious problem that I should probably attend a support group for! Hubs has definitely tamed my shopping ways, but I still can’t resist a good deal! My closets… that’s right, plural closets are overflowing with clothes and shoes! π
7.) I would rather have a McDonalds Double Cheeseburger with Big Mac Sauce, Diet Coke and a fry over a gourmet meal.. ANYDAY. Yes, I’m a cheap date and hubs knows the way to my heart π
8.) I am a get-every-minute-outof-everday type of person. I would rather stay up late and get up early so I can get as much done as possible. I love a good nap as much as the next person, but can never seem to turn my brain off long enough for one! Maybe one day π
9.) My weakness to getting things done is a beach or pool and a good book. Sunshine rejeveunates me like no other, and there is nothing better than floating on a raft with a good book in the sun. Remind me again why I live in Ohio?!? π
10.) Obviously teaching is my passion and I would trade this job for the world! I have found my niche in 4th grade and I absolutely love the age and the school I teach at. This blogging world is my other passion and I am so grateful for the amazing friends I’ve met through this! Who would’ve thought some of my closest confidants would be met online? Thanks for all being so great:)
Head on over to these two amazing linkys and link up! I’d love to learn more about you π
I love the dry eraser sticks for their desk! Great idea!

All that talk of Big Mac Sauce has me hungry! Who says cheap can't taste good? That is great about the running! I am working up to my first 10-miler this October. I just moved from Ohio to New Jersey, and while I miss Ohio some, I am loving being near a beach!

I Teach. What's Your Super Power?
What a great post, and I am so glad I read it because I have a need for those bins too, and I learned today that Mod Podge works great for adhering labels to them. I love your cute labels. It's amazing what you can do with spray paint and Mod Podge huh! Thanks for the great tips.

I like your "Notes for the Teacher" basket. I need to make a "Morning Mail" to catch all the stuff kids try to hand you in the first 30 seconds of the day! Also, love your blog theme. My classroom is jungle/safari. π Glad I found your blog!
