Clothes and Free Bunnies... Sure!

Going to keep today's bloggy post short.  The pollen and I are not getting along and my vision is kinda blurry...  I'm writing this post while hopped up on Benadryl....  continue reading at your own risk!  :)

I got my 6th Stitch Fix box last Monday and I just realized that I never did post what I got.  I tried everything on that night and hung them up for pictures. I decided to keep everything in the box again.  My husband's spidey sense has been triggered though... and I think I am going to skip an April box!  Every day this week our convo went something like this:

Him "Is that a new shirt?  I like it... where did you...."
Me "Yeah...  kinda new... late for work... gotta go..."

I love that each box comes with style cards to give me ideas on how I could wear each piece... and a special note to me from my stylist.  I'm a sucker for that kinda stuff.  Well played, Stitch fix... well played!  :)

Have you tried Stitch Fix yet?  If you haven't... you can check them out HERE!  You can choose how often you want to receive a box.  I like that anything that needs to be returned just gets put in the postage paid bag and VOILA!

Ok... you are wondering about the title, right?  Clothes and Free Bunnies...  so I made this freebie bunny craft and listed it on TpT a few weeks ago.  I talked about it on my FB page, but just realized that I never posted it in here.  Du-uh!  My brain can't keep up, y'all!  So.... if you missed it over on the Funky Fresh FB page... here goes:  Just click either of the pictures to take you straight to TpT to download.  Be sure to follow me over there so you don't miss any new products and freebies that I post!

I hope that you've had an amazing weekend.  Hoping to post a few times this week and I will be posting over at the Primary Chalkboard soon!  Talk to y'all soon!

Georgia Bloggers Unite

Oh my goodness... I had the best time today in Macon with some of my Ga teacher bloggy peeps!  We met up at Georgia School Supply and they had such a great day planned for us.  I really do love Macon... and it's where I delivered M1... sweet, sweet memories!

I know I've mentioned about my introverted-ness before...  and things like this cause me quite a bit of anxiety BUT everytime I go to a blogger function... once I get there... my nerves settle pretty fast!  I rode up to Macon with Tara from And They All Fall Down and Angie from Monahan's Monkey Madness....  we gassed up, grabbed our Starbucks, and headed out for a day of teacher dorkiness happiness!

Jayne over at Smart Kids planned a fabulous day at Georgia School Supply for us complete with goody boxes!  Check out our goodies {squeal}
She had our itinerary/schedule ready... name tags printed and lots of goodies waiting at the tables for us!
We got to meet so many Georgia bloggers (and even a few non-bloggers).  We shared products, talked about TpT, talked business plans... gave advice and just lots of support.  There were raffle prizes and I won twice!!!  It was truly my lucky day.  I even bought some scratch off lottery tickets on the way home.  {I won't be resigning from my job with my winnings, but I did win 2 free tickets!}
Here are my peeps and me about to load up the car with our boxes of goodies plus the other things we bought at Georgia Supply.  I couldn't resist.  The had the cutest new stuff... 2 words... magnetic border!  How did I not know about this?  I am so stoked to head to my classroom... just sayin'.
L-R: Tara, Me, and Angie
Some of my other bloggy peeps were there... and we had fun in the photo booth area.  Where was my prop?  I got so excited I forgot to grab one!
Jayne, Kelly, Angie, Me, Tara, and Valerie 
Going to end with a group picture of all the fabulous people that came today.  I met so many new people and felt so supported.  A big thanks to Jayne for making this bloggy meet up happen... and for Diane at Georgia School Supply in Macon for being so accommodating!  I left feeling so great... and I can't wait to see what part of Georgia we meet up in next!

Hope y'all are having an amazing weekend... I'll be announcing the winner of the goody box of office supplies  on FB later tonight... be sure to stop by!  Talk to y'all soon!

I Think I May Have Adult ADD {And I'm OK With That}

I can't say for sure... since I haven't talked to my doctor about it.... but I'm pretty sure I have adult onset ADD.  No hyperactivity here... but some definite attention issues!  Then again... most of my teaching friends who are moms and wives... plus bloggers and TpTers have said the same thing.   I guess the good news is that I am not alone... but I'm wondering what the cure is?  Maybe the cure is retirement?  Bwahahaha!

Joking aside... I am so very excited to announce that I have reached 2,000 likes on my fan FB page.  I woke up this morning and was so stinkin' excited!
I asked earlier this week about your favorite office supplies.  While I do like to know what everyone else likes, I had ulterior motives for sure!  Based on the comments... I went for a trip to Wal-Mart and stocked up on a box full of goodies to give away to celebrate my small success!  Here's what is included:  a pack of Scotch laminating pouches, large paperclips, Sharpie highlighters, 80s Glam Sharpies, Papermate Flair pens, Post it notes, a composition NB, Scentos markers, and 10 washi taped clothespins from the Tea and Coffee shop.  Eeeek!!!
Thank you to each of you who follow me on this teaching/momming/wiving/blogging/tpting journey!  What started as something I thought "maybe" I could do has really brought much MUCH more joy into my life than I could have ever imagined!  Be sure to check out the rafflecopter below for your chance to win!  I can't wait to announce the winner on Friday!!!  I hope that you will all have an amazing week... talk to y'all soon!

Bright Ideas Hop.... Numbering the Kiddos

I'm so excited you're here...  hope you've had oodles of fun so far gathering useful ideas for your classroom! These hops are the very best in my opinion.  I love to sit w/ my spiral notebook & jot down  cool ideas!  My post today is pretty short with lots of pictures of how I use numbers in my classroom.... as in numbering the kiddos.
Next up is Jennifer over at Herding Kats in Kindergarten with an awesome post on inexpensive manipulatives in the classroom... and how the heck to store them!  Just click on her cute button to keep hopping!  .....and thank you so much for stopping by!  Talk to y'all soon!

It's March {Achoo}

It's March y'all and the amount of allergy medicine I am ingesting proves it.  This weekend has been by far the worst... guess it's better to feel yucky at home than it is at work BUT still!  I'm going to keep this post relatively short... but I def wanted to blog it because the Currently from Farley is one of the things I look forward to at the beginning of the month.  That and I just got paid yesterday {and the congregations says AMEN}.  Without further ado:
Listening to my small humans discuss Mine Craft strategy with each other.  They are only 20 months apart and it has been really neat to watch them grow at the same time.  They really are the best of friends.  I really don't know much about Mine Craft other than the basics, but they LOVE it!  
Loving my Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter pencil.  It actually came in my Ipsy bag a few months back and I kinda hoarded it towards the back of the cabinet.  I found it the other day and I am in awe of it!  I am a highlighting fool on my face!  I went to their website this week to read reviews and find out how to order more and I found a whole bunch of videos showing the girl demonstrating all the different ways to use it...  visual OVERLOAD!  I've tried a few... feeling pretty much like a makeup artist...bwahahahaa! 
Thinking I need to schedule an oil change.  I think this has been on my to do list for awhile.  I hate going.  I just do.  I need to just call them and make it happen.  They even come pick it up at the school, take it to the Nissan dealership, and bring it back to me.  I just keep putting it off.  Poor Juke!  ;)  

Wanting to speed up my beach vacay.  I think I'm at 105 days until I head to paradise for a week with 2 of my girlfriends, our kiddos, and some fab babysitters!  I am excited about feeding deer, watching alligators, traveling by golf cart, and working on my tan.  
My favorite shot from last year's trip!
Needing the pollen to just GO.  It is out in full force here in south Georgia.  I know to expect it every year, but I was hoping with all the weird cold snaps that we had recently... that maybe it would buy me a few more weeks.  It didn't.  

????????:   McDonald's.  Can you guess what the question is?  Let's see who knows me!  Ha!!!  I will send a copy of my new Restaurant Math pack to everyone who gets the answer right by this Sunday night (3/2/14) at 9pm.  Good luck!!!  Wishing you all a FAB rest of the weekend.  Talk to y'all soon!
