It’s CURRENTLY January??!!

Happy New Year!!!!

It’s not that I can’t believe it’s a new year, I just can’t believe it’s already January. I feel like it was just Thanksgiving and I was looking forward to winter break… 


Anyways, it’s once again time to link up with Farley for some Currently action!





Listening: It’s New Years day… of course football is on the TV. 

(Still depressed about my Gators but let’s move on…)
Loving: We’re in North Carolina for one more day visiting with some friends and I just love sitting in their living room by the fire. It’s so peaceful (and freezing!!!)



Thinking: I’m really loving this winter break thing and I’d like another week, or two, or forever please!! It’s been a rough year, and I’m just not ready to go back…


Wanting: I would love a teacher work day! I’m not even close to being planned for when we go back and I have so much filing and organizing I could get done without the kids!! Guess I’ll have to wait until mid-January…

Needing: I’m not a big baker, but we’re making these tonight and I can’t wait to dig in!



YES: I was soooo close to reaching my reading goal in 2014 but I fell short by a few books. I will meet my goal this year! 65 books!!
MAYBE: I would love for my hubby and I to go on a little vacation. It’s not that we never go anywhere (we’re in NC right now, remember?!), but we’re always visiting family and friends. I just wanna get away!!
I WISH: I would love to reach my first TpT milestone this year, but that’s a pretty far stretch! However, my hubby is always talking about the power of positive thinking so I’m just going to go with it!!

    Hi Elyse! I, too, am anxiously pursuing my first TPT milestone! Won't that be FUN!? Let's adopt "Dory's" theme song from Finding Nemo – do you remember her? "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming… " Enjoy the remainder of your break and I'm following your blog now, so be sure to announce your milestone so I can congratulate you!

    Wouldn't a work day be wonderful? I am going to have to convince myself to go up to school over the weekend and regroup! I am not planned at all and the piles are growing in my room! Those cookies look delicious. Happy New Year!

    Yeehaw! Teaching in Texas

      I'm kind of thankful that my school won't let us in, but that will mean some prep work at home! Ahhhh I don't wanna!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I'm not ready to go back either. If only we could freeze time! We have some teacher work days that I am really looking forward to, but it's not until the end of January and I could use one as soon as Monday! I hope that you are able to reach your first milestone this year. I'd love to reach mine as well and I know one day I will, but it would be lovely if it would happen in 2015! Perhaps we shall be celebrating a year from now on Currently 2016! ๐Ÿ™‚

A Very Dinosaur Birthday by @adamwallacestuff is the cutest book for any and all dino loving kiddos! My daughter has been cracking up as we read this one, imagining dinosaurs at her birthday party!! I always love a book with rhymes too. And the illustrations and colors are so bright and inviting!

After reading this one, we had to grab How to Catch a Dinosaur from the library.

Thank you to @smithpublicity for sending a copy our way.

I'm prepping for a family seder (the Passover dinner) tonight, and I cannot wait to share this holiday and its importance and make family traditions with my daughter and husband!

The song playing is the background is Dayenu which means "it would have been enough" - it is a song of gratitude for each thing G-d did to help the Hebrews (Jews) and as they fled Egypt.

Something else we say at the end of seder: Next Year in Jerusalem! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chag Sameach, Happy Passover!
