Congrats to the amazing Cassandra for turning 30! Woo-hoo and welcome to the club, my friend. I have to say, I’m loving my 30s. Enjoy this new turn in your life adventure!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Cassandra at this year’s TPT Conference, and more specifically at the Splash Bash pool party that I co-organized with another dear bloggie friend, Ashlyn from The Creative Classroom. Immediately I could tell that Mrs. Third Grade was such a gentle, kind, warm soul, and that has certainly proven to be true. I have to admit I’m envious because these two lovely ladies both live close enough to each other to occasionally hang and geek out over teacher topics...wish I lived closer...but I’m more than THRILLED to have been included in this amazing celebration for Cassandra!
{...and to read a few tips I've learned by trial & error over the last 30-something years...LOL!}

![]() I'm linking up withDoodle Bugs Teaching again this week! We're on our second week of summer, and I'm trying to balance something fun everyday for Grayson...while still having laid back, easy breezy days. {I hate when summer gets to be more hectic than the school year!} What are you up to? WHAT I WORE // WORK-IT WEDNESDAY
This week I teamed up with both Katie @ Queen of the First Grade Jungle for her weekly "Work it Wednesday" link up and Lindsey @ The Pleated Poppyfor "What I Wore Wednesday!" The reason for this doubly-delightful post this week is because getting some exercise and my wardrobe are overlapping, because...well....I haven't really worn anything EXCEPT for my workout gear the past week. I had a few cute outfits over the weekend, but forgot to snap photos, and one of the best things about summer is NOT having to dress up unless you just want to! Check out my FAVORITE FINDS for fashionable and functional fitness-wear!

// Work-it Wednesdays //
There's nothing like a CABANA POOL PARTY for a little fitness motivation!! I'm teaming up with Katie @ Queen of the First Grade Jungle for her weekly "Work it Wednesday" link up! Summer is here...which means shorts, swimsuits, and sassy little dresses, so I {SUPER LOVE} this link-up to help keep us accountable and encouraged on our quest for health and fitness. See a sneak peek of my WIW post from this week!
// Two of my SUmmer Health & Fitness Must-Haves //// Summer Professional Development Reads //![]()
Summer time seems to fly, and between family fun, friends, special events, trips, product creation, blogging, and then prepping for a new school year....I often short-change summer time professional development reading. This year I'm setting a {hopefully} reasonable goal of reading the two books below before going back to school. What summer PD books are you reading? Also, I'm looking for a GREAT book on teaching writing to intermediate elementary grades. Any suggestions? HELP!
// Summer Fun with My Little Man //![]()
There's nothing like getting to spend summertime with your own kiddo(s) when you are a teacher. Right now Grayson is at the PERFECT age for awesome summer fun...and I'm soaking up every minute. We've had a great first week off, with lots of fun activities. I planned out our Gray and Mommy days through July, trying to have at least one special activity/event/outing each day, but without things getting hectic or over-scheduled. There's something nice about special activities without feeling like your calendar is too cram-packed. Summer is about lazy days and milking every minute of relaxation, too! Check out the SLIDESHOW below to see our adventures so far!
// New Laundry Room Artwork //![]()
I don't know about you, but laundry seems to take over my house...no matter how hard I try to stick to a system...and it's only going to get worse as Gray gets older and into sports, etc. Right now, I have NO solution to my laundry woes, but I DO have a recent addition to my laundry room! About two years ago {can we say procrastination?} I snagged the two matted and framed laundry prints at Hobby Lobby {my MECCA} for $7.00 each. Originally they were $69.99 each. Talk about a bargain! After repainting the laundry room, adding wall cabinets, and replacing both machines...it was finally time to hang my super-discounted artwork. To me, this just makes laundry time a bit more pleasant!
