Versatile Blogger Award and some INSPIRATION!

Wow!!! Thank you Haley, at Following Optimism! She nominated me for the Versatile Blogger award--I am so pleased!!

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave it to you.

Thank you Haley.

2. Share 7 things about myself.

-I met my husband when I was backpacking through Europe.

-I played the piano and had one put in my room my first year of teaching. Needless to say, I had it moved out by January because there was never time to play it (Did I think it was Leave it to Beaver days or what?!)

-I have been living like a gypsy for many years now and I CANNOT wait to settle in a bit (soon!) and decorate/organize our flat (apartment) and maintain a routine that now excludes the army!

-I got completely hooked into yoga about 18 months ago (soooo good for my bad back and anxious mind!)

-I hate it when people don't follow the rules! (speeding when driving, lying, cheating, etc) This really gets under my skin---why do some people think rules don't apply to them?

-my mom is my everything.......she is everything that is good and sweet in this world. I look up to her tremendously and tear up when I think about the wonderful influence she has had on me.

-my dream job would be to work on a documentary that compares/contrasts school systems around the world (my 2 favorites: different cultures & education!)

3. Pass this award on to 15 other bloggers who deserve such a great award!

I would love to add more, but this rickety, ancient computer is going so slow and keeps shutting down!

So I will end with a blog that I am O-B-S-S-E-S-S-E-D with and share some pins from her site:





even and odd street-so cute!



I am now convinced I must have all her posters and anchor charts : )

fact families

she put sheet metal on her wall which is magnetic!!



And, in a word, I desribe her classroom as heaven.  I.love.it.

I'm off to bed finally! Have a great weekend!
