Zulily has teacher supplies??

And Who knew that Zulily had teacher supplies?! I have shopped Zulily many times for my two year old daughter, and love it! They have great products with amazing prices!! I never really thought to look at them for things for school! Look what I found! 

These blocks would be great in an early childhood classroom! 

And look at these! I know kids in grades k-2, especially boys, would love to read these fun books by National Geographic! 

And look at these phonics word hunt books! My kiddos love word searches, I think these would be a hit! 

I bring a large insulated cup filled with water to school each day... How cute are these???? I could always use a new one!!

You can also see what their upcoming sales will be!! I can't wait to shop the Vera Bradley sale for a new school bag, and the Time for Class sale looks like it has some cute items as well!! 

Just click this link to check out these great deals!!

Five for Friday!

I hope everyone has had a great week! Here are five things I have been up to this week! Be sure to check out www.doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com to see what others have been up to! 

1. Jimmy Buffett concert! He's my favorite- always so much fun!! And- that hat on my head was my aunt's Buffett hat from when she used to regularly attend!!

2. I signed up for my first wine and canvas event! It's on August 12th- I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out!! :) 

3. We are doing a super hero theme at school this year! I'm so excited to use this cute super hero clip art in my classroom! Aren't they adorable?! You can find them here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Superhero-Graphics-Set-679111

4. We attempted to take my daughter to her first movie... It was a free movie, so at least we didn't waste any money... She loved the popcorn, but was not very into Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2! 

5. I was able to attend a Harry Wong workshop with the other 1st grade teachers I'll be working with this year! He was SO good! I highly recommend seeing him if you have the chance!! 

Hi, again!

Hi friends!
It has been SO long since I have written a blog! 😁 my apologies! I hope you are all enjoying your summer!! Here are a few things I have been up to:

This girl has been in our backyard in her little pool or at the neighborhood pool almost every day! She loves it... And so do I! :)

Vacation near Tampa Fl... My aunt lives there, so having a place to stay is wonderful! This was on Caladesi Island... My favorite place :)

My husband Henry and I had a little adventure around Washington Park and Over the Rhine in Cincinnati to celebrate our four year wedding anniversary! 

We celebrated Amelia's 2nd birthday- Minnie theme- her absolute favorite!

We also had to transition to a toddler bed! 😳 after she jumped out of her crib twice, I knew it was time! She has thankfully done great about staying in her bed when it's bedtime- thank goodness!!

This girl also is POTTY TRAINED!! My biggest accomplishment by far this summer! Here she is enjoying a potty prize :) want my advice? Go cold turkey no diapers... Clean the floor A LOT for a few days.. Reward each time the kiddo makes it to the potty, and TADA! Haha :) she does wear a diaper at night, but that's it... No pull-up AKA glorified diaper! 

I am a huge parrot head! Here we are with friends at the Jimmy Buffett concert!! 

Who knows who this is? It's my fun first team posing with Harry Wong, his wife Rosemary and their guest speaker!! Such a great workshop! If you have the chance to see him- do it!!!
