June Currently

Linking up with Farley over at Oh’ Boy 4th Grade for another Currently!
I seriously cannot believe that it’s already June, but here we go!

Listening: Mr. and Mrs. Smith is one of my absolute favorite movies! I can recite most of the lines. A good friend of mine sent me a text to let me know it was on and now I’ll be hooked in for the next couple hours!

Loving: This is the last week of school and I pretty much have all the days set up with fun activities (camping day tomorrow!) There’s no need for my big binder and all the planning today and I’m loving it!

Thinking: I know I might be biased but I really think my husband is the best! We hung out with some teacher friends and their husbands last night – 5 teachers in one place and you tend to get sidetracked with teacher talk just a little bit… Then, this morning he did all the lawn work before the rain came and now he’s ironing! Woohoo!

Wanting: As excited as I am for summer, I will be sad to see this group of kids go. They challenged me, taught me, and made me laugh. I’m looking forward to this last week with them and having a little fun!

Needing: I have a real problem with finishing the laundry. This happens every Sunday. Do a couple loads. Leave them in there. Forget about them. Remember at 9 or 10:00 at night. And repeat the next Sunday!

Summer Bucket List: Last week we booked a hotel for a weekend on the beach at the end of the month. We’ll be celebrating our first anniversary! We’re only heading about an hour away from home, but it’ll be nice to get away and spend time together! I know I’ll be doing a lot of reading and relaxing, but my other big summer plan is to reorganize all my files. Started bringing everything home last week and I’m hoping I will actually hold myself to completing this big project!

What’s your plans for the summer? I’d love to hear them in the comments!

    Happy first anniversary! That is so exciting!! And kudos to your hubby for going out with you and your teacher friends and for doing some housework this morning! Points for him! My boyfriend woke up early and cleaned our house and I got to sleep 'til 9! These men know how to treat some tired teachers!

    Best wishes for your last week of school! Enjoy it! It'll go so quickly!

      Woo! Sounds like we picked some winners!! My husband is the "neat freak" of our family so he definitely takes care of the cleaning around here. I'm lucky to have him 🙂

    Your hubby went out with you and your teacher friends AND did the yard work? You lucky duck! My fiance hasn't had the opportunity to go out with my teacher friends and their husbands… yet, but its coming. Lets hope he handles it as well as your husband. We are lucky enough right now to have someone else do our yard work, but Alex does help out with my endless baskets of laundry on Sundays. Now that I think about it… it's 9:20 in the evening and I still have a load in the dryer. You and I have Sundays and laundry in common. Sad part is that the last load stays in the dryer and comes out little by little throughout the week when we realize something we need is still in there. Maybe this summer I will have the energy to finish it all on Sunday! I enjoyed reading your post! Have fun on your vacay!

      Thanks so much for commenting…you made me chuckle! I do the same thing with the last load!!! It's in the dryer right now and there's no way it's coming out! I need to get some sleep, not fold laundry!!

    Sounds like you are going to have a great end to the year and a great summer!

    I reorganized my files into binders last summer. It was a big job, but so worth it! I felt way more organized this year.

    Good luck with the big project and getting the laundry done. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!

      Thanks Becky!! I keep telling myself it'll be worth it to reorganize all my files so we'll see what happens! (The laundry…not so much – it's still in the dryer!)

What's your go to coffee order?? ☕️ Peppermin What's your go to coffee order?? ☕️

Peppermint mocha was the first flavor of coffee I loved and it's still a favorite. And now learning to make cold foam has really elevated my coffee at home! Also, save those cups and reuse them because it's the perfect way to drink your coffee!!

》Peppermint mocha cold brew made in the French press (used Walmart brand coffee grounds)

》Cold foam made with splash of heavy cream, splash of milk, and peppermint stevia 
Added a splash of Chobani peppermint mocha creamer because I had it (but it's not necessary!)
For those of you wondering how the storage unit sa For those of you wondering how the storage unit saga is playing out... 

We went for a couple hours this past week and started going through boxes. My husband was a huge help!!
2 huge trash bags, a big donation box, and a couple boxes marked sell- we can finally move within the unit and reach things! 🙌🏼

This will be a process for sure but I'm glad I finally got started with it.

We all deserve a space to feel comfortable and to belong. I love the message this shirt gives and I love Kind Cotton and their continued mission to make a difference.

Today and every day we need to remember to be more than just kind. Listen to one another. Stop putting each other down. Help one another. Stand up for what's right. Use our voice. Let's build a better, kinder space for our students and children!

A new ✨️Osmo Reading Adventure✨️ was deliv A new ✨️Osmo Reading Adventure✨️ was delivered to our doorstep the other day and this 4.5 year old couldn't wait to get her hands on it!!

I absolutely love how these books help with reading, phonics, and sight words while being interactive and having fun. These new books are a bit more challenging for her and I have loved watching her rise to the challenge to try and learn these new words.

It's taken me over 4 years to muster up the courag It's taken me over 4 years to muster up the courage to go visit my storage unit. I spent more time just staring at all of this and muttering unkind words to myself about what a mess it is.
My husband was the last one to ever see this stuff since he finished packing it and closed the door on it 4+ years ago.

No, I'm not planning on returning to the classroom right now. But I need to offload some things so I can get a smaller unit because dang! storage units are ridiculously expensive.

I also want to see what I can find that my kiddo can use since she's in PreK and is starting to be at the level of the kiddos that I taught.

The Narwhal and Jelly series is an absolute favori The Narwhal and Jelly series is an absolute favorite in our house! My daughter simply loves these books!! She has them memorized because we've read them so much and I love hearing her recite the stories. They are laugh out loud funny so I don't mind hearing them over and over.

We read them constantly, listen to the audiobooks, and we get them as read aloud Wonderbooks from the library. There's a few more in the series that we don't own- yet... I'm sure those will end up being Hanukkah presents!

I love how these practice:
• sight words
• sentence structure
• handwriting
• cutting & gluing

These are perfect for independent work time, morning work, or those few minutes after playground time when you just need a quick & quiet activity!
🎃👻🧙🏼‍♀️ This is Halloween! 🎃👻🧙🏼‍♀️

I know it may depend on your school and students if you can do Halloween activities. But, this is also a fun one you can use at home if you have young kiddos who are learning their letters and sounds!
