August Currently 2014

Where o' where did July go?  Is anyone else feeling that?

I am linking up with the wonderful Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade for her monthly Currently.

Listening: I love the Food Network. I'm pretty sure Chopped with my favorite show on that channel. Diners, Dive Ins, and Dives is a close 2nd. They also post all of the restaurants they visit on the Food Network website. Every time I am visiting a new city I check the list. It has some great suggestions but there is usually a line.

Loving and Wanting: It has been in the 80's in Seattle. (Say What?!) It has almost been too hot for my Pacific Northwest skin. Also, my new house gets pretty hot in the afternoon. Hence the cold drink. :)

My front yard.

Thinking: We are in full on unpacking mode. I have been sharing some of the pictures on my Instagram account. @msrichardssmusings My wonderful boyfriend got talked into hanging curtain rods on his day off today.

Needing: My family has a bad tendency to get grumpy when we are hungry. My boyfriend calls it hangry. (I'm not sure where he got it, but I have heard it before.) The lovely Rachelle Smith from What the Teacher Wants and For Blogness' Sake posted this tank on her Facebook page the other day. This tank is perfect for me.

Tank is from Ruffles with Love

First day: Teachers have an inservice Sept 2nd and we have an all-school Open House after the inservice. Students start Sept 3rd. I still have a trip to Iceland in August before school starts for me. I can't wait!

Enjoy the rest of your summer (if you have any left) Don't forget to head over to Farley's blog to link up.

Wordless Wednesday (July 30)

Hey all!

I am linking up with Christina from Sugar and Spice for her Wordless Wednesday.

I love this linky. Everyone's pictures and questions are really entertaining. Don't forget to check out other bloggers.

Are you moving (houses or classrooms) this summer? What is the first thing you need to put away or organize before you feel like you are "at home" in the new space?

For me... I always need to organize my kitchen.

Wordless Wednesday (July 23rd)

Hey all! I'm back for Wordless Wednesday from Miss DeCarbo at Sugar and Spice.

All you have to do is upload a picture and ask a question. Easy as pie, right?!

I just finished my long range plans for the 2014-2015 school year. This is the first time I have attempted to plan out my year in this way. Do you use long range plans? Do you like them? I would love to know your thoughts about them.

I am linking up for the 1st time with the lovely Miss DeCarbo from Sugar and Spice for her Wordless Wednesday.

I made some pico de gallo for the first time yesterday and added an avocado. So good!

Holy Moly...200 Followers!

Hey all!

I peeked at my BlogLovin' page the other day and was surprised to see that I have 200 followers!
Holy moly when did that happen?! Thank you for following my little blog. It means a lot that you read my posts and comments.

As a thank you I uploaded my 4 freebies on my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I uploaded them on my Facebook page for a limited time during my Birthday Extravaganza a couple of weeks ago. If you did not snag them, now is your chance. They are all FREE in my Teachers Pay Teachers store!

I had some problems uploading these products to Teachers Pay Teachers. If the files give you any problems or you are unable to find them, please let me know.
