Rockin' Back to School, an Award and a Fun Linky!

Hello bloggy friends!!!

Oh how I have missed you all! I was on vacation last week and have been running around all over the place since we've been back! I thought I would have tons of time to blog this summer but time seems to be slipping away and I barely ever have time to blog :( I'm so behind on my blog stalking too!

Anyways, so last week me and my boyfriend went to Cuba! Yay! The beach was soooo beautiful :) We did have a few cloudy days but overall it was a great trip! How could you not have fun when you're by the beach? Please! :) Going to the beach really made me feel like I was on vacation. No alarm and no school is great, but the beach really just takes it the extra mile :)

On an other topic, I have finally finished my back to school pack, Rockin' Back to School!

Here is a little preview:


I am really proud of it! I love it! It's a bunch of fun activities you can do with your kiddos during the first few weeks of school. I've added it to my store so you can go and grab yourself a copy. Let me know what you think!

Also, I have been awarded the Liebster Blog Award by 3 great bloggers! Yay! Thank you so much ladies!

And finally, check out this great linky I've found!

Aren't we all looking for classroom decor inspiration this time of year? I know I am! I'm keeping my owl theme for a second year in a row (which I never do but I just love owls too much to move on!).  I really want to find as many ideas as I can so that my classroom will look amazing! (at least I'll work very very hard in order to get it to look that way ;) I'm going to go look though this linky for inspiration! If you find some cute owl ideas, feel free to share!! :)

Now, time for some blog stalking! And also I want to work on some classroom owl themed things. I'll be working extra hard to be able to share them with you ASAP :)

Until next time,

Award and New Product!

Hello everyone!

I am very excited about my new AWARD! Yay!! Heidi over at My (Not So) Elementary Life has awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award! Thank you so much Heidi!


Here are the seven rules to follow when receiving this award:

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you.
2. Include a link to their blog.
3. Include the award image in your post.
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself.
5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.
6. When nominating, include a link to their blog.
7. Let other bloggers know they've been nominated.



Ok so here are 7 really random facts about me!

1. If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be.... CEREALS! I am obsessed with cereals. Seriously! I love them all! From Weetabix to Lucky Charms! My all time favorite kind ? Honey Bunches of Oat! Any chance I get, I eat cereals. As a late-night snack, when my boyfriend is not there for supper and I have to eat alone I always sometimes get lazy and just grab a bowl, for lunch if there's nothing in the fridge and obviously, for breakfast!

2. I went skydiving about 5 years ago... and I loved it! I'm not sure I'd do it again though because I got really scared! Not so much when I was doing the actual skydive but on the ride up, in the plane! I'm extremely claustrophobic and so the 25 minute ride in a tiny airplane was NOT fun! Add to it that I am scared of heights and you get a not so good mixture! But once I was out of the plane, it was amazing! I was so proud of myself for actually doing it! This is one experience I will never forget!

3. I am obsessed with Lauren Conrad :) I love love love everything she wears and everything she does with her hair! I have all of her books and all of The Hills seasons. She is my ultimate style inspiration! And please, she does the beach wave hair thing PERFECTLY!

4. I have baby fever like there is no tomorrow! My bf and I are thinking of starting the trying later this year... but seriously I feel like I cannot wait that much longer! I feel like being a teacher has made me want kids so much more! People must think I am crazy! I talk about babies with my colleagues and friends all the time! And I'm not even pregnant!  My bf and I have already decided on the room decors! Yes, we are that cheesy! If it's a girl: forest animals! (We're talking bunnies, owls, squirrels, deer... cute!) If it's a boy: A nautical theme with boats and navy and red colors!

5. I've recently began baking! Ok, well I've only been baking cupcakes but I'll get to the rest later! I try to find excuses just to bake them! Suppers, birthdays, finding a new recipe! But once they're done I only eat one and then give them away! My bf eats a few but he can't go through 20 cupcakes so I donate to friends and family. Cupcakes are so adorable but SOOO full of calories! So I try not to be fooled by their cuteness and I only eat one. It is also important to mention that I lick the bowl, the spoons, try the frosting a few times.... so it's kind of like eating 2 in the end! I really enjoy baking them. I'm so proud when they are finished! I still need to work on the decoration part but I'm still a newbie so I forgive myself!

6. I love love love my job! Seriously, I am so happy to be teaching! I don't hear many people say they love their job as much as I do! I feel really lucky to have found a career path that keeps me motivated and brings me more joy then I ever could have imagined! I am always trying to find ways to get better and to make the learning experience for my kids fun and challenging. The blogging world has been such a great resource for me! It's made me a more creative teacher. I have created so much this past year and found so many great products that my students have LOVED! I really believe blogging and following other inspiring blogs have made me a better teacher. I am more inspired than ever and I want to spend all summer getting ready for my new kiddos in September.

7. I love traveling! There are many places I wish to visit in the world yet so little time!! My parents have been on so many amazing trips and seeing their pictures and hearing them brag (in a good way!) about great trips has made me want to go to places I didn't even know I was interested in!
I've been to many places down south, in all-inclusives. They are so much fun when you just want to relax and enjoy the sun and beach :) My bf and I are even looking to go in the next few weeks. However, I feel like I now want to step away all little bit from these trips and discover new places and cultures! I really want to go to Greece first! We would probably love to go there on our honeymoon :) And then Italy and Portugal. Those would be first 3 choices :)

There you have it! You now know a little bit more about me :)
