Happy Birthday To Me!

birthday

Hey sweet friends!  I’m just stopping by real quick to say HI!!  Yes…today is my birthday and my boys {all 3 of them} are doing a really great job of keeping me spoiled {aka: giving me the whole day to myself :)}  Another year younger…LOVE IT!!  I swear I feel like people must look at me when I’m out with my boys and think, “She’s WAY too young to have kids.”  Sadly, I’m sure that’s not the case.  Case in point:  I spent the better part of my morning plucking gray hairs from my 32-year-old head.  Eeeks. 

In honor of my 32ndbirthday…and still feeling like I’m a carefree twentysomething…  I’m throwing a little sale in my TpT shop for TWO HOURS ONLY.  The sale starts now and ends at 6:30 p.m. {Central Standard Time}.  Everything in my shop is on sale for $2!!! {for two hours only!}

    Hi Cara,

    Thanks for having a great sale! I hope you had a great birthday. :-)

    I love all of the items that I purchased and can't wait to use them with my class this year! I was wondering if you could please email me the "wh" chips to go with the story? They were missing from the packet when I downloaded it.

    Thank you so much! You do a great job on your products.

    Hi there! Hope your birthday was spectacular! I just found your blog this morning and I have aready read the entire thing! :-) I am a homeschooling mom of three girls (9, 5 and 3.) I spent years in the DC school system and I totally gave up on public education. Your blog brings tears to my eyes! I am so awe-struck and inspired. Bravo, Cara!! You are doing one seriously amazing job -- there will be lots of jewels in your crown in Heaven for all the young hearts and minds you are touching. Thank you for making such a positive difference in education!
