Where Oh Where Has My Weekend Gone?!?!?!?!?

This is the song I find myself singing every Sunday night!  It is like the week DRAGS on and the weekend ZOOMS by.  What.Is.The.Deal.  I know all of you agree with me, right????

I haven't talked much about my new Pampered Chef business lately, but I had 2 parties this weekend!!  Yes I have money crazy written on my forehead!  Friday night was all about Power Cooking.  If you are like me, your busy.  I am a mom of twins, full time teacher, and now working PC on the side.  I always tried to make weekly/monthly meal calendars so that we would eat in more.  Well that always went by the wayside when I was late getting home, passing fast food, or just plain out didn't feel like cooking!  Anyone with me???  Bueller...Bueller...anyone??  Enter Power Cooking!  It seriously changed the way I cook.

You start with 3-6 lbs of hamburger and 4lbs of chicken.  The idea is to make up hamburger and chicken bases to freeze and pull out during the week.  I created sloppy joes, taco salad base, and busy mom's lasagna base.  I didn't leave the chicken out!  I made up chicken Parmesan soup, chicken tortilla soup base and something else I just can't remember!  (bad I know!) So that is 6 meals that will last my family the whole week!  I simply pull out the bag, defrost it, and Viola' dinner is served!  I usually take an hour on Saturday or  Sunday to Power Cook.

I have been working on my latest product all week too!  It has been one of my most difficult products to create because I struggled to find graphics that I thought fit the topic and was cute!  So here it is hot off the presses...my Natural Resources Lapbook.

Making the product I did learn things about Natural Resources that I didn't know.  I am embarrassed to say that I honestly never understood what fossil fuels were!  After reading about this topic, I now know!  Please don't judge me!!!!!  

There is a freebie of one of the minibooks in the preview download.  I am also giving away 2 copies of this over on my Facebook page.  If you haven't liked my FB page, make sure you click here to enter for your chance to win!

Ugh!  Does Monday really have to come so quickly!

No Sleep For the Weary and a Giveaway

So after my awesomelytastic day (yes that is totally a word) , my brain just couldn't stop going!  I went to bed around 12ish with no problem, but when the clock hit 3:30am, my eyes were wide open and my mind was going 100 miles per minute!  What the heck!  3:30am is for SLEEPING not THINKING!  So today I was extremely perky my normal self, and about 1pm I felt "the wall" coming on.  By 3 pm I was in full on "wall status" I continued to push through until 5 to try to finish my report cards, which didn't happen.  I dragged myself home and died  passed out on the couch until 8:30.  So here we are!!!  I am just hoping that my nap small sleep doesn't interfere with my night night later!

As promised here is my newest lapbook for teaching Weather!  

Enter my giveaway for a chance to win your own copy!  I will chose a winner Sunday night!

Cyber Monday, Animal Life Cycles, Giveaway

Are you carts full  yet????  My cart is so full it would be the one that creaks and makes that annoying sound as I push it along looking for more deals!  This sale has been great, but not good for my vacation fund!  What can I say, I am a sucker for super cute teacher stuff!  I LOVE a good sale and will have to say the excitement is quite contagious!

 I just added my newest product yesterday in time for the sale.  I have been working on my Animal Life Cycles Lapbook since August! I don't know what else to say but life got in the way of this one.  I am proud to say it is done :)

If you teach life cycles, this lapbook will allow you to teach 4 animal life cycles as well as vocabulary words. There is also an accordion fold that compares adult ladybugs to the child.  Make sure you pick it up before the sale ends to get it on a hot deal!  And because I love all my loyal followers, I will give this to the first 3 people who comment!  Make sure you leave your email address.

Speaking of the sale, make sure you check out all stores that are joining in the fun!
