A Quick Little Update

I swore I was going to be better about blogging this summer, but as you can see, that just isn’t the case!  After we got *almost* settled into the new house, we left for our 2 week family vacation up north.  We drove.  With 2 kids.  For 20 hours.  I don’t need to say anything else about that!  Now we’re headed to Michigan for the rest of the week to celebrate the 4th with Mr. Spouse’s family.  My family is housesitting for us, so I’m happy our new little home isn’t sitting all alone!  To say we’ve been a *little* busy would be an understatment!!  Here’s what we’ve been up to these last few days…

We celebrated Landon’s birthday.  Little Mister is half a decade old!!!  AND…for those of you wondering…we’re giving him the gift of time next year :) He’ll be going to Pre-K instead of Kindergarten because well…for those of you who’ve taught K…you know that young summer birthday boys can use all the time they can get!  HA

I met up with my sweet friend, Abby, from The Inspired Apple.  You may know her as “Babbling Abby” :)  This is quickly becoming my favorite summer tradition!  The Panera in Dayton, OH had NO clue what they were getting into when we walked in the door.  We stayed for about 4 hours and could’ve easily stayed for another 4!  And yes…it was NON-STOP talking the ENTIRE time!!!!  Love this girl!

I recently got a CAMEO from the lovely people at Silhouette America and ohmiword…I AM SO EXCITED!!!!  Since I got it a day before we left for our 2 week trek up north, I haven’t been able to use it.  BUT…lemme’ tell ya.  I’ve got BIG plans for it!!!  I have several projects I can’t wait to start, so stay tuned!!!  Most of them will be for the classroom and I can’t wait to show you!  If you want to get started on your own CAMEO projects before the start of the school year, click on the link to get 20% off!!!!!   http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/education/Yes, 20%!!!!!!!  That’s an amazing discount!!!!  And it’s for educators! Aren’t the guys at Silhouette America thoughtful?!?!?! 

I’ve been working on several new units.  I’m updating my Calendar Companion, so if you purchased that, be on the lookout.  I’m adding a 120’s chart and printable posters for each section of the calendar…that was an AWESOME suggestion from on of you lovely ladies {wish I could remember who so I could give you credit!!!}  I’m also going to include a Kinder friendly version as well!! 

Here’s something I’ll be adding to the store when we get home from Michigan!

Okay…the car is pulling out and Mr. Spouse is yelling at me!  Time to go!!!  HAPPY 4th, friends!!!
