Great news and Earth Day!

Baby S is here!!! Finally! She has arrived! Just when I thought I was going to be pregnant for the rest of my life, there she went and surprised us on April 4th :) The day after my April 3rd due date. We are so blessed! She is in perfect health and she is just the most beautiful little bundle of joy. We are enjoying every second with her... and also every second we can get of sleep :p I'm on maternity leave but the bf had to go back to work. So I'm spending my days cuddling with Baby S and nursing, nursing and nursing. Wow! For a tiny human being she sure drinks a lot! I've decided to start watching Glee during my nursing sessions because daytime TV is not all that exciting. And btw.... why was I not watching Glee before? I love this show!! Someone should've told me sooner how addictive it was! Anyways, today is Saturday so my bf is home with us which I love. He's sitting on the couch with her which is the cutest thing :) Here are a few pictures of Baby Sophia:





Isn't she just precious? I love her so much!! :)

And I also have other great news to share... I'm moving to first grade! Yay! Firsties here I come! Ok so I won't be back until March of next year but still... here I come anyways! I had the choice between keeping my grade 6 class or switching to grade 1. I'd been wanting to go with the little ones for a while but hadn't had the opportunity until now. The opportunity finally came and so I decided to take the plunge. I am so excited!!! There are many things I love about older kids. The fact that they are so independent and can do so much on their own, the actual content to be taught, kidding around with them, getting them ready for high school.... but on the other hand, there are also so many things I love about little kids! And probably so much more I will discover in March 2014 :) I'm really really happy about my decision!

And last but not least, I have an Earth Day pack in my store which I never got around to sharing with you. So if you need something for Monday, be sure to check it out here!


Until next time,

Currently!

Happy April Fools' Day! or... NOT! Am I the only one out there who does not like April Fools? I am so happy I am not working this year so that I don't have to go through this day at school. Obviously I want to make my kiddos happy and not ruin their jokes so I have to pretend like they catch me everytime.... even though you hear the same jokes year after year, and minute after minute on that special day :p So anyways this year I get a free pass and I'm pretty happy about that! :)

Although I do not like April Fools... I do like April 1st! For me, spring officially begins in April. There's nothing springy about March! Well at least a Canadian March! So now that April is here, I feel like spring is going to finally kick off and come our way! Yay! And with today being the first, it's time for a Currently! So I'm linking up with Farley for yet an other awesome Currently linky!



1. I love the Vancouver one!  And I swear it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm from Canada...! I just get really into this one. Although I do love them all, these housewives are my favorites! I love how all their drama makes me feel like that things going on in my life, that I thought were drama, seem like no biggie! Hehe!

2. The weather has been amazing all Easter weekend. Although today it's raining, it's still warm so I'm ok with it. I took out my spring jacket on Friday and it felt so good! I think I was as excited as when a child is told he can wear shorts in June! And I'm liking that my baby is going to be born in warmer weather. Perfect for stroller walks :)

3. OK so obviously I've been feeling this way every day for the last week.... And I'm not sure I would be that excited for Baby S to be born on April Fools.... but I guess by if it were to start soon... she wouldn't be here before tomorrow anyway so I'm ready! Wednesday is my official due date.... I can't believe I might be more than 100% pregnant if she doesn't get here by then.... I was so sure I was gonna give birth during week 39..... oh well! What do I know right?

4. I am really craving a Starbucks coffee right now. I am going shopping later on today so I might just grab one at the mall. Decaf of course :p When in a latte, you can't really tell the difference between decaf or not.  Perfect for pregnant mommies :)

5. I really want a whole bunch of clothes for spring. I am so fed up with my maternity clothes I can barely look at it anymore. I love all the colors and pastels for spring... Everything is so cute! Hopefully, I can go back to my pre-baby body quickly so that I can actually wear all this cute stuff! :) And new clothes always put me in a good mood!

6.  My tip is to have fun creating products for TPT. My best-sellers are my products I had the most fun doing! I guess you just really put your heart into it when you like creating it! And it shows in the final product.  Creating is such a great part of our teaching job.... therefore it should be something you enjoy doing! It shouldn't feel like a chore. When you have fun making something, it will also show when you present it to your kids and they will like it too! It's a win-win! :)

So there you have it!

Until next time, (hopefully next time I can introduce you to Sophia ! :)
