Congraulations! 

Room Mom 101 !

Alright I am NO MOM!

However I feel like one Monday-Friday.. where I spend most of my hours in a classroom with 10 children who make me strive for so much more. I get to see their little minds grow with curiosity and eagerness to learn. I feed them, read to them, and put them down for a nap as if they were my own. At the end of the day I head home to a husband who listen to my long day.

I love spending my time creating for my classroom and I am in love with this blog that gives me ideas and helps me grow as a teacher.

A few weeks back I wrote to the owner of the blog sharing some of my ideas! She messaged me back and I was on cloud 9 because I was featured on ROOM MOM 101! 

I created a tree for my writing center that was inspired by a children's book.

Here is the link to read the post! Just click on the next sentence to check it out!

My Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree!

Graduation.

On May 5 th I graduated.

There comes a point when all the hard work is worth it.. and that was the day. All the late nights of studying, Red Bulls, and countless times of crying all paid off!

I geared up with happy thoughts and a piece of my family with me.

All week I was Congratulated by our supportive family and friends. My family was able to watch over the computer. How amazing is technology to be able to see me walk across the stage from 1000's of miles away. Here are a few pictures of one of the happyest days of my little life.

Now now.. I am not fully done with my goals. I will be taking more classes at the college! I know your thinking I am crazy! The thing is I really want to get as much schooling done before we add on to our little family!

Hip Hip Horray!!!

THANK YOU!



I ALWAYS DO THIS!!!

Tend to say I will be back more often...

then that big wind in life come and blows me down for a while!

I have so much on my hands with little time for me.

 I am always asking myself.. HOW CAN I BALANCE!

Now don't get my wrong..

school is well worth it.. and working is to. I know one day I will be rocking a sweetchild who has all my time and at least once I will tell myself how much I am missing work.

Saying "NO" is the problem. I am ALL ABOUT TITLES!!! A Mrs., Teacher, Volunteer. Who does not want to be known for all these things? However because I am all about the titles and making myself feel good by having them. I end up losing some points in dinner with the husband, or kicking my feet up to a book.

I am sure it will not always be so busy. So until then I think I keep saying "YES" because one day I will be doing nothing but the things I enjoy.

As you know I went full time this semester.. so today I will finish up my LAST final as a FULL TIME STUDENT! YAHOO!!! Mind you I was working full time and managed a 99% in one of my classes! I was pretty excited. I got my National CDA (which is a certification for Early Childhood) and got the award for student of the year for the Early Childhood Department!

I would have to say I am pretty darn glad that I could manage all of that!

May 5th I will be walking early! I am bit nearvous but I will save that for another day.

This weekend will go by quite fast. Mike will be working and I will be ORGANIZING and getting ready for MAY!

Have a great weekend ALL!

Wow ME!?

A few days back I was given this award!

I was really surprised because it is my FIRST ONE! haha!
