5,000!

I didn’t think I’d be back so soon, but I logged into my blog for the first time in a while {I needed to grab a printable!  HA!} and noticed TFGP has 5,000 followers.  I figured this would be a great time for another BIG giveaway!

I’ll be giving away EVERYTHING in my TpT store to 5 sweet friends!  I’ll randomly select the winners via Random.org and announce them on Sunday {6/3}.  To enter, leave me a comment telling me about something fun you’re doing this summer :)

Only ONE comment per person, please. 

ALL additional comments will be deleted.

Please, please, PLEASE remember to include your email address in your original {not additional} comment so that I can contact you if you win!

One of the lucky winners will also be RANDOMLY chosen to receive all of my future products for free, too! 

Off to pack!  And pre-celebrate the last day of school tomorrow!!  WOO HOO!!!!

    1. We will be celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary by spending a week on the beach of Sunny Florida. Later in July, we'll be taking our two boys to Korean culture camp for them to be around other kids just like them who were born in Korea then adopted into American families! Just one more day, then it's fun in the sun, baby!!!

  156. Because I was diagnosed with cancer March 1st of this school year, I have been on a medical leave of absence since March 26th. I have made it through 6 full weeks of chemotherapy and radiation for five days every week. I have been healing for the past 4 weeks and am so sad I could not complete this school year with my little ones.

    My plan for the summer is to recuperate and become the healthiest 2nd grade teacher I can be. I will work on my stamina and spend time with my teenage son - that is when he can squeeze me in with his girlfriend.

    LOVING LIFE...
