Day 2 Giveaway!

So I hope you are enjoying these giveaways!  Birthday's are supposed to be all about fun.  What is more fun then Grumpy Cat????

Today I had the pleasure of doing a Writing Workshop lesson in a 1st grade classroom.  It was great being back in the classroom and seeing the kiddos really getting it.  We worked on small moments and telling that moment across your fingers.  It is amazing to me how this small strategy helps kids focus on their one moment.  We went to the zoo last week and that was my model story.  As I was conferencing with a student he shared that he wrote about the zoo trip too!  My favorite part was when we went to see the elephants and they were in the pond of water...Completely under water!!!!!  Caleb's favorite part was riding on the charter bus hahaha!  He described the comfortable seats, the nice foot rest and the cozy arm rests!  Its crazy how kids see things!  

Alright enough talk about teaching, lets get to the giveaway!  Today's prize is Gina's awesome 

Enter for your chance to win!

A Week of Giveaways!

So many of you know its my birthday, for another hour at least!

I have had the best.day.ever! (channeling my inner Rapunzel!)  I love Grumpy Cat, but I do enjoy a birthday!  My daughter, Raegan, had to have another cranial surgery last Wednesday so I have been out with her and oh darn the last day out just happened to fall on my bday!  The day began by waking up to this in my bathroom:

It is hard to see, but my sweet hubby left it for me!  I was so surprised when I went in there this morning!  Great way to start my day!  

 I spent the entire day with the loves of my life, Raegan and Kenley!  We played dress up.  They found their ladybug Halloween costumes and just had to put them on!  We watched movies, Little Mermaid Aiel, and Tangled Punzel.  I swear I can recite all the lines in both I have watched them so much, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!  The girls had a Dr. visit today and after that it was Taco time!  Hello, it is Taco Monday!!!

Jesus is ALWAYS working on Mondays (and every other day) and knows what we want to eat and drink before we sit down!!!! I had to get a bday pic with him!

Raegan kept calling this her cowboy hat!  This was her "cheese" face, she had to close her eyes tight!

Special Birthday Sopapilla!  I didn't see the smiley face at first!

Check out my awesome gift from my BFF Amber!!  Can you say LOVE!  

Yes that is a Chevron bag, what can I say, the girl loves Chevron!

The hubs bought me a sweet iPad Mini about a month ago for my bday, but also picked up this cuties!  Didn't he do good?!?!?!?

Here is a pic of my Mom, Dad, and Sis having bday dinner Sunday night.  My sister's bday is May 1, so we always go out to eat for both together!

A birthday shouldn't only be celebrated on one day, so I decided to have a super fun weeklong giveaway!!  Each day I will post a different product you can win.

It's My Birthday and I'll Have a Sale If I Want To!!!

Ok so its a bad play on the classic 1960's song, but just humor me and go with it!!!  Today is my birthday and boy has it been a roller coaster week leading up to it.  (more about that later) To help me celebrate, I am having a 1 day sale at my TPT and TN!

Check back later for a full post about the past week's events!  

My Babies Are 2!

I can't believe my sweet twin girls are two! At this time 2 years ago I was in the hospital getting ready to be induced. That's right, my little sweeties had to be evicted!

Raegan Elizabeth was born at 5:55 weighing 6lbs 9oz, 19 1/4" long
Kenley Marie was born at 5:58 weighing 6lbs 2oz, 19 1/2" long

In honor of my sweet girls' 2nd birthday I'm having a 2 day sale! Enjoy 20% off at my TpT through Sunday.

Monday Made It -Christmas Edition

I can't believe it's already December!  This is a super busy month, but add in the twins birthday and it is non-stop from the beginning of the month.  I have two fun things to share for Monday Made it.  I love linking up with Tara :)

At the beginning of November, I was asked if I wanted to participate in an advent ornament exchange.  It is based off the devotion, A Meaningful Christmas.

The way it works is you get 24 people who are each willing to make an ornament that represents a specific scripture reference.  After getting your scripture, you then make 24 of the same ornament.  Before December begins you have a fun get together with lots of treats.  We had a sweet and savory side and even had a hot chocolate bar!  Then everyone puts out their ornaments and you put them in your box.  

 My ornament I made.  I call him 
Don-ke-hotey

To create this cute guy, start with two clothespins.  Paint one brown completely, the other one leave a little white at the bottom.  Then glue them together and attach googly eyes.  I used a scripture I found online to make his little sack.  Wrap raffia around him to complete the look.

 Here are all 24 of my donkeys!  I painted them in the hospital while Raegan was recovering!

My second 'Made it' isn't Christmas related, but for my twins December birthday.  They are in love with Sesame Street, so that is our theme!  I created this cute pinspired invite.

Check back for updates on the party and all things Christmas!
