Teacher Community Reaching Out

My heart has been extremely heavy for those in and affected by the Moore, Oklahoma tornado.  The news stories have been unreal.  My prayers continue to go out for all...

Teachers Notebook is putting together a bundle of products... didn't really take time to read all the details, I just wanted to donate something... if you have a TN shop, please consider donating one or more of your shop's products.  Click on the link below to find out more.

Long Time No See...

Hello long lost bloggy land friends!

It's been several months since I've last posted, (sorry) but I have a good excuse.  

I really, really do!

Meet my second daughter!  She's due to arrive in late July and I'm beyond excited (and exhausted!) to meet her.  I thought the second time around would be a little easier, riiiiight.   With a three year old in dance, my job, husband, and very large belly, it's not as much fun as I thought.  Especially when I get those lovely medical statements in the mail - quite often.  Anyone else have a high deductible insurance plan?  Then you know exactly what I'm talking about!

Anyways, that's where I've been lately.  I did want to share what I'm doing with my kiddos at school for Mother's Day.  It goes right along with our geometry unit (in case the curriculum police are out and about).... and it comes right from TPT!

Can't wait to see the final product!  

Somewhere someone is up to no good...

I am completely puzzled.

I've had my Teachers notebook and TPT stores for about a year and a half now... things have been running smoothly until I get a strange message from someone last night.

The message was at my TN store and it said that another seller on TPT had one of my calendar units listed for an amount and even had my store listed in the file.  

I'm suspicious for two reasons...

One, I've not sold that file on either shop.  Yes, I even went back and looked at my sales stats.  Two, when I asked for a link to that person's shop, I was given just a name, city, and told to enter it in to TPT.  Surprise surprise, it's not there.

Has anyone else gotten a message similar to this?  I'm thinking of just ignoring it because I don't think it's really out there.  Just as a precaution, I changed all my passwords (haha).  I don't know what to make of it.

Any one have any ideas?

Baby news:  I'm now 15 weeks along and finally feeling like a human being again instead of an incubator.  We won't find out the gender until the beginning of April, so I'm patiently waiting and getting bigger.  And bigger :)  I'm just happy I can still drink my Diet DP!

And.... it's snowing :) 

Happy Saturday y'all!

Lots and lots going on!

This has by far been one of the craziest few months in my life.  Lots, lots, and lots going on!  First of all, the most exciting news... I found out after Thanksgiving that we are adding on to our family :)  Baby Tater Tot #2 is due to arrive at the end of July.  Once I got past feeling sick all of December and into January, I'm a lot more excited!  Top it off with catching the flu right before Christmas break (and couldn't take any Tamiflu because of the pregnancy....) it took awhile to get over that.  My daughter caught it too, so thankful for the hubs for taking care of us!  She, of course, got to take Tamiflu and was over it in 2 days, just in time for Christmas.  Rather it have been her any day! :)

She is adamant that she wants a baby sister.  Every day it's "No brother mom.  Just a sister."  She's very matter of fact for a 3 year old.  Of course, I think it's a boy, but we won't find out anything until late March or early April.  Very excited!!

I feel like it took me 3 times longer to get things back to normal after Christmas because of all the sickness (both flu and preggo) and catching up at work.  Today, I'm enjoying a day at home... not because of the snow we got last night, but my district already had today off.  Of course it would snow when I'm already off :)

But I wanted to take a few minutes to catch up on here because it has been a long while since I've posted anything, and while this isn't school related, I hope my wonderful followers will pardon my absence for the past few weeks :)

Hope everyone has a terrific Friday, and those east coasters who got snow, enjoy it!  It's absolutely gorgeous!!

Silence for Sandy Hook

Saturday morning fun, freebies, and giveaways

As I type, I'm sitting in my bedroom with my daughter under a "tent" while my hubs puts up my new curved shower curtain rod and new shower curtain.  I've got to go to church in a little bit and practice with my Grandma... we play at church once and a while, I play the piano and accompany her while she plays the violin.  We are playing tomorrow :)

Lots of things have been happening in my life, some good, some not so good... but they are making my life what it is, so in a roundabout way, I'm thankful for them.  And I'm thankful for my followers, old and brand new!

Wanted to share a winter/Christmas themed freebie with you.  Snag them up if you can use them, or share them with someone who can!

This one is my Christmas Patterns freebie!
