A March Blogger Match Up Winner and Currently April

Congratulations Meredith Malik for winning the March Blogger Match Up Giveaway!

Email me at rachelelena@gmail.com with two TPT products of mine you would like. :)


I'm also linking up with the always fabulous Farley for April's Currently. 

 

This may be a record for how early in the month I am linking up.  

I'll leave you with a few Easter gems from yesterday and today...

     

Snowed In and February's Currently

A Patriots win, TPT Super Bowl sales AND a Monday Snow Day.

Fine...

If I have to.... :)

Today's snow day offered me a minutes to steal away to jump back on the Currently train from the always talented Farley. Check out her fabulous blog Oh' Boy 4th Grade using the button below. 


    Without further ado, here is my Currently!  

  Now it's off to brave finger painting and lunch--not simultaneously!   

Back to School in Full Swing and Farley's Currently

It was another wild long weekend to unofficially close out the summer.

A family day on the Cape Friday, ice cream and cow pastures Saturday, an afternoon in the city spent fence painting, playing in a bubble pool, playground hopping, and taking in the many sights and sounds of Beantown on Sunday, and end-of-summer steals and family time today made for one heck of a weekend.

Here's a flashback to my (short) first few days with the kiddos.

First day!

Back-to-school goodies for my school family... 

(Most, if not all, of these gift tags/printables can be found on my "Gift It" Pinterest board.)

Playground fun after school!

August Currently: Short and Sweet

On a bright and sunny Thursday, here's a positive spin to a 3:45am wakeup....

Of course I would've loved a few more hours of sleep--especially with school starting in a little under 2 weeks. (!!) But I'll be honest, I did miss the munchkin. I ventured out last night with a few teacher friends to do some back-to-school classroom supply shopping at Lakeshore. (Fun but overwhelming, for sure! That's a post for another time!) Post-shopping we dined out at Stone Hearth Pizza and capped off the night with build-your-own cupcakes at Treat Cupcake Bar. (Thank you Mr. Lovie for the night out!) But I missed Miss K. Her spontaneous smiles. Those cheeks. Her sweet "talking." And those cheeks!

And, when she does wake up in the middle of the night/early morning, there's a good chance she'll nap for a substantial time (read: an hour or so) in the morning.  And voila-- I have a few minutes to pump, shower, eat breakfast, straighten a few things up around the house, run the dishwasher, prep laundry, catch up on a few Bloglovin' posts and maybe squeeze in a quick post of my own! (Several of those tasks being completed simultaneously, right Mr. Lovie??) :)

Excited to link up with Farley for my first Currently.

 

 

 (I'm only just noticing my typo under wanting and wishing I had edited it better! It's not an easy fix so I've got to let this one go. Better editing next month!)

 

*I am in love with all things Ladybug Teacher Files! I love how bright and bold her collection is--not to mention it will all match! Click here to check out her fabulous Teachers Pay Teachers shop.

Miss K is awake! Time for cuddles and a walk!
