Birthday Extravaganza Day 2

Today is my actual birthday! I am turning 30! Eeek! How did that happened?


It is also Day 2 of my Birthday Extravaganza!

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to play scavenger hunts. I'm sure all of you have played before but just in case you haven't, there are items hidden all around a certain area. You are given clues to help you find each item.

Well I will not take you on a true scavenger hunt but I thought it would be fun to do a small modified one.

So...this is how my scavenger hunt works for today.

One of the products in my Teachers Pay Teachers store is FREE for today only! The "hunt" part is that I am not going to tell you which product is free. But I will give you 1 hint...it's math related. You have until tonight (July 3rd) at 10pm to find the freebie.

Don't forget about the Giveaway I am holding either. It ends July 5th!

July Currently 2014

It is July 1st! So I am linking with Farley for her wonderful linking: Currently.

Listening: I have to have background noise when I am reading or working. Today it is Good Morning America.

Loving: It has been absolutely beautiful these last couple of days. Usually it is grey and cloudy for the 4th of July. This will be perfect camping weather.

Thinking: The USA vs Belgium game is today. Are you watching? My house has been everything World Cup since it has started. I believe...

Wanting: So I live in an apartment. Most of the time it is okay, except when my neighbors are yelling at each other. Today they were yelling at each other at 6 am. (Grrr) Maybe I can get in a nap before the USA game. :)

Needing: Among other reasons, my boyfriend and I are moving into a house in 3 weeks. We are ecstatic! Unfortunately that means we are in the process of packing up everything. My house is a mess and it is driving me a little crazy. I can barely walk through it without kicking or knocking something with my knee.

4th plans: My birthday is July 3rd and my boyfriend's birthday is July 5th. (Weird, right?!) This year I will be turning the big 3-0. (I'm not sure how that happened.) In honor of my birthday, I have a little something up my sleeve. Check back tomorrow for more details.
