14 in 14 Linky

Can't believe the year is almost over....in ONE day....and what a year it's been!

I'm linking up with the 14 in '14 linky to share some of my favorites from this year!

 

Not necessarily a quote but so true.

 

 

Leggings or a hoodie. (I love a good sweatshirt!)

 

 

Yes.

 

We actually just watched it for the first time the other night. So good.

Brought back lots of childhood memories! 

 

Was hooked on Netflix this summer. 

Still on season 1 so shhhhh...don't tell me anything!

 

Honestly...don't really have one. 

I'm always wanting Chic-Fil-A though...so does that count? 

 

Jamberry. 

It has changed my life.

I tried it. Fell in love.

Became a consultant.

Here I am.

 

From a student earlier in the fall....so pretty and sweet!

 

                                                    

Anyone else?

 

Well....I haven't really blogged in a while....not sure I could pick something?!

 

Entering in to year 12 of teaching (I think that trumps quite a bit!:)

And continuing to want to do it.....

 

 

This is one that was just taken at the beginning of the month at a local farm.

Dinner, hayride, and Christmas lights!

 

Celebrating a friend's birthday at an 80s party!

 

 

Packing all of these book bags& more to take to KY

 on our annual summer mission trip.

 

 

 

 To continue to work on staying healthy and eating right (even if it

means giving up those sweets when needed! ;)

To continue pushing forward in teaching and knowing that this is my calling.

To continue to grow in my Jamberry business...I love it..it's not stressful and has really

helped us financially.

 

Prayer

 

Has it REALLY been TWO months???

Yes. I'm afraid it has...two months! Aggh where did the time go?

And honestly, I can't say why I haven't blogged in so long...I have plenty to tell you, to show you, to give to you....I just haven't. And it's been kind of nice. To not have the stress of feeling like I need to post daily or weekly. Does anyone else feel like sometimes you are letting your followers down? Like you are supposed to post ALL the time....it's hard. I LOVE it..but it's hard. Sometimes I sit down and I get ready to create/post....and my mind goes blank. LOL...there's so much going on in there I have on idea why it goes blank but it does. 

Don't get me wrong....but it's nice to take a break. I've definitely been following you guys...and been crazy Instagramming (is that a word?) 
 
If you don't follow me on Instagram. (there's a link on the right side of the blog)...head over there and click that little button at the top. I'm posting a LOT on there...as well as my FB account.

I'm going to try to definitely do better this year....maybe not every week...but at least a couple times of month. I want to blog more and celebrate milestones (yeh totally missed the 1500 mark on my FB page---maybe I'll plan something for you this month! :)

It's been nice this month to just chill too..I haven't felt the very best this month....If you've been following for a long time...you may remember that I have mentioned that I have endometriosis....and this month has been kind of rough. It comes and goes. But December has rocked my world. Ugh. 

So I just remember....

Here's a very QUICK recap of what we did in December....again...I posted a lot over at my Instagram account. 

Of course we did Elf on the Shelf...Charlie is his name and "elf"ing is his game. Here's a pic of what we walked in to see one morning!

 
The best picture was when he was "roasting" marshmallows by our classroom fireplace. And of course this girl forgot that picture! Why do you ask....because Santa showed up that day!

LOL...I hate to laugh at my kiddos because it's definitely ok to be scared of something. But this little girl completely took my assistant and I by surprise. She was NOT the ONE we thought would freak. But freak out she did. He walked in and she took off running taking Ms. E with her! LOL all the way to the back of the room.

Eventually she did give him a high-five (after yelling out that she wanted a Barbie) and we all clapped and cheered for her! What a a day....and yes that's my assistant in her PJ's....because Santa showed up on Polar Express Day!! :)

We also made some very cute elves and reindeer!

So much more was going on and I just didn't document everything! But I promise more to come in the next few months. (Plus I have an intern starting her first semester with me in January---one day a week for now...in the Fall....every day). Any advice????



I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and this pretty much sums up how I feel after eating all of those goodies!





hehe..makes me snicker....or wait...do I want a snickers?? LOL
