Listening
HGTV and I are becoming besties.  I’m not sure I could ever get into being a house flipper, but my husband could!  I just love watching the transformations.
Loving
Mondays?  Who loves Mondays?  This girl!  It’s the one time each week that I get some time for me.  That means I go play soccer for an hour AND spend time catching up with friends!
Thinking
I have a 4-year old and 10-month old – enough said!
Wanting
Our grill is on the fritz and we have a ton of steaks in the freezer.  I’m trying to find some recipes for them that do not involve the grill.  Ugh!
Needing
The cold bug hit our house.  My daughter had it on Tuesday.  By Wednesday I got it.  By Friday my son started showing the signs.  The hubs will probably escape it, as usual!
Yes, I will get to visit my family this summer.
I hope we’ll be able to move into our new home by the end of summer.  It’s looking more like fall, but a girl can dream!
I wish I was able to make it to Vegas for the TpT conference.  I missed it last year because I had a newborn.  This year my hubby is working on our new home, so finding time to escape without the kids is just not in the cards.  Maybe next year!

    You are one busy mama! Broil the steaks in the oven- takes about the same time as grilling. Maybe I'll see you in Vegas next year!

    I also love Mondays! I believe Mondays are a fresh start! It's the beginning of the week and I always try to make it great to set the mood for the rest of the week! Good luck with the move into your new home!

    My hat goes off to you! I have a six year old and ask myself from time to time… WHy do I clean as well… He comes right behind me just to mess it up! Good Luck with moving into your new home.. When I purchased my home they changed the closing date so many times!!!!! It was quite nerve racking to say the least…

    Hi! We do not have cable anymore and I do miss watching HGTV sometimes. We went to Denver for spring break and I got to watch some in our hotel. I saw Flip or Flop. Incredible transformations. I just discovered I can watch House Hunters on Netflix! It is so much better without commercials too 🙂

    My George Foreman grill gets used at least once a week. It saves me the trouble of firing up the big grill and it's not too hard to clean up. I am so glad to hear someone that loves Mondays! I don't love them, but I don't mind going to work either! Have a great weekend!

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner. Later that night, the little girl makes a wish on her snow globe. The next morning the family wakes up to a winter wonderland outside. ⁣

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣

Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
