Another Pinterest Creation

I guess my summer will be filled with APC (Another Pinterest Creation) because I keep finding stuff I have to do or make! I just finished this sign.
IF you know me you know I can't really spell better than a 1st grade level. This sign will go up in my classroom. It orginally looked like this but will a little chalkboard paint and chalk in I was able to remake the sign from pinterest :D



Herbs?!


On tap for my to do list today was to start a potted herb garden with Ava and Kohen. I went to Lowes last night after bed and got some 10 inch terracotta pots, potting soil and 3 kinds of herbs. I also picked up some chalkboard paint and chalk ink. This morning Ava and I got started. I pretty much followed the tutorial from this website. First we taped off the tops of the pots and then we painted them with chalkboard paint. We then let them dry off on our tiny deck. I got each of the kids a large pot instead of doing several small ones. I am hoping to find some more herbs to add to Kohen's but we'll see. While they were drying Ava and I ran to Michaels and picked up some ribbon to tie around the top. When we got home the kids transferred there plants into our pots and called it a day. Anyway it was super easy and the kids love them! I do hope they live!

Mission Impossible?

This summer is going to be really busy for me. Even though its summer vacation as of Tuesday I am really only going to be home and not working for like 3.5 weeks. Starting next Wednesday I am watching one of Kohen's daycare friends for two weeks. July 5th- August 12 I am working at Norwood and then I go back to school August 22nd. My mission with the 3 weeks is to get us organized for the school year and beyond. First on my To Do list was to find a list notebook. I am list writer but get annoyed with the fact that I have to either rewrite the things I don't complete the next day or I lose it. I would love to be able to look back and see what I have accomplished on those days it seems like nothing will get done. I searched all over the internet posted on facebook and finally after a visit to borders I found it....

<----------------------- my new list notebook! Here I plan to keep track of my daily to do's and such. I wish it had a place for date and to do preprinted but beggars can't be choosers!

Do you Pinterest?


So my awesome friend Jenn, sent me an invite to Pinterest and I am IN LOVE!!! This website is perfect for me! It is a virtual pinboard where you can see other peoples ideas, DYI, baked goods, anything really. Ava's teacher gift I got from pinterest and these babies I found on pinterest too! I saw them and had to make them.
OMG they were yummy! You shouldn't eat more than one maybe two cause honestly how can they be healthy? I have made 4 batches and given them to coworkers, put them in my students summer goodie bag and friends and they are getting rave reviews. Check out the recipe at Becky Bakes

So because I work

sometimes people assume I can't be crafty or I don't have time to make things extra special for my kids or loved ones. Sometimes I hear something like "Oh that must be from a stay at home mom" and to be honest, it kind of pisses me off. Yes I work and yes I am not home with my kids as often as some moms but I still make things extra special for them and I can still be crafty when I want to be. Like for Ava kindergarten teacher, I made what I would say is a pretty crafty present. Yes it took a couple nights of staying up late but I LOVE it!
