Five For Friday

Happy Friday friends :)

I hope your week has been as wonderful as mine! I can't believe the week is already over. I'm linking up with Kacey from Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five For Friday.

I wasn't lucky enough to attend the TPT conference this year, and I am so heartbroken! I'm getting so jelly seeing all the pictures on social media! But it's motivation enough not to miss it next year. I'm hoping you had a blast if you went!

Have you ever fallen in love with a refrigerator? Because I have! We went shopping for home appliances and furniture for the new house this week and I met my dream fridge. We immediately hit it off and I'm pretty sure I will get to take him home. 

Talk about eye candy. ;)

I participated in this weeks "Tell All Tuesday" link up! If ya'll guessed that number one was my lie, then you are correct! I worked in a K class all through college, so I thought that's what I wanted to teach, but third grade has my heart! If you hopped through and made a guess, thank you for following along! I can't wait for next week's topic! 

With a month left of summer, I decided it was time to get into my classroom and try to fix whatever mess awaited. I was actually excited to start! That was before I ever entered the building though.

Do you ever just get into your classroom and have no motivation? Well that was me! I think I walked around my room 10 times just thinking about what I needed to do. Haha. I took some old things down and cleaned out my desk, but that was it! 

How I stuffed this much junk into my desk, I don't know. But it's all out! I'm going to a teacher table next year so all this stuff will have to find a new home! Any reason to buy more containers! ;)

I'll leave you with this cute picture of my baby. I got him a new shirt so we have to show it off.

Tell All Tuesday 2.0: Two Truths and a Lie

Happy Tuesday, beautiful people! I hope you had a great start to your week. I can't believe it's the middle of July already! Ah! 

I am linking up with My Day in K and Teach Talk Inspire for their weekly summer linky. Every Tuesday we will have a fun topic to discuss! This Tuesday we are playing a game called Two Truths and a Lie.

I am not a good liar, like at all. I giggle and smile, people can always tell if I'm fibbing. Luckily ya'll are reading this so I will attempt to trick you ;)

1. When I graduated college I got a job as a kindergarten teacher. I then realized that kindergarten wasn't as much my thing as I hoped it would be and found a spot in 3rd. I like that these guys are more independent, but just as loving. I miss the silly things the kinders say though! Now I've been in third ever since. :)

2. I am the pickiest eater ever! I could eat off the kids menu every time I go out and I would be totally satisfied. I dislike onions, seafood, peppers, beans, and the list goes on. I refuse to eat anything spicy, even ketchup is too much for me sometimes.

3. Growing up I wanted to be a lawyer and an interior designer (Because both at the same time make sense 😜). I think Legally Blonde had something to do with it. I'm also pretty good at arguing ;) As I got older, I realized that probably wasn't the best job for me. I loved working with the tiny humans too much.

All right, now it's your turn to guess! Leave a comment saying which one is my lie! I'll come back with an answer on Friday :)
