Faith, Hope and Love and Throwback Thursday

Hey friends! It's Summer Time!! I've been trying to relax, EXERCISE, and do  some sole searching, I often find myself coming back to the same verses. So I made printables and framed some of them to add to our home, office and in the fall (hopefully) my CLASSROOM!!

I did interview for a position and am praying that God leads me to the right position.

So my plans for this summer? Of course, hitting the gym a little extra :) I have about 10 lbs to go to my ideal weight and I'm super excited about getting there. Do you need a little extra support with your fitness routine? Check out our fitness blog!!! 

We are also going to be vacationing and just trying to spend all that extra family time that we can :) 

Here are a few pictures of my latest TpT Packet: Bible-Verse-Posters-on-Education-Life-Love-and-Everything-Else-736399

I'm also linking up with Sweet Cara from The First Grade Parade!

Here's my Throwback Thursday Post with a little Math Freebie!

 Hey y'all! I'm linking up with my sweet friend Tessa, from Tales Outside The Classroom!  

She's hosting this linky party so I just HAD to join in!

*People* I'm in LOVE with!

Of course-- My husband! My husband is my rock! I just love him to death. He's loving, caring, funny and best of all, the best husband and father I could have ever wished for! 

Yes, that is a TEXAS Flag vest...can we say PROUD TEXAN???? ;)

My kiddos are so amazing! I love them so much! They are so energetic and keep me going ALL the time! Life never stops with boys in the house!!!

*Products* That I Love! 

Humm--that one is EASY! 

I love this water bottle that I got as a Christmas gift! I use it EVERYDAY!!

Of course-- Y'all know how much I love my country music! I found this gem in my CD collection the other day--I've been blaring it in the radio EVERY since!! haha! Who can resist KING GEORGE?!?!

Here is my latest freebie FREE-Addition-Math-Center That I just uploaded to TpT! 

I use it as a math center when my students are finished with their work. I simply printed on card stock, laminated, and secured with binder rings. Then, I store in a ziploc bag with dry erase markers and dice! My kiddos love this! 

My I Can Make Words  is getting great feedback from teachers of various grades! I love that you can differentiate it so easily! This packet includes 10 printables for making words. Students cut letters out and arrange them together to make words. 

*Places* I'm in LOVE WITH!

I'm  so totally in love with the...GYM! I know it sounds crazy, but every since I started my fitness journey, I have just really enjoyed getting the stress out with exercise! My favorite exercise has to be squats! I love them! More than that, I LOVE the results from killing it with squats!!!!

I am also really enjoying the dead lift--but don't tell my trainer! Haha! I might whine a tad when we have to do them! But all and all, exercise in general really excites me! My husband just started working out this week..He's went like three times and I've already had to run him outta the vitamin stores! I'm like baby steps hun, baby steps ;) He would buy every protein supplement if I would allow it! I'm like let's see how long it *last* before you go spend a bunch of money on something---does this sound familiar to anyone else ;)

 I just can't wait to get to the place where I can really just start maintaining my weight and not having to diet as serious. That part, is NOT fun!

Thanks Again Tessa for hosting this great linky party!

Till Next Time!

Till Next Time 

We all need a little FAITH

A verse that is speaking with me today and I wanted to share~

Isaiah 40:29 -31

 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

 

 

Have a great day everyone! Hug your loved ones tight and be thankful for all of the blessings that the lord gives us~

 

 

 

Stuffed With Thankful Thoughts Linky

I thought I would take a break for a minute this morning and talk about a few of the things I am thankful for!

1.First and Foremost I am thankful for my Lord and Savior! He has blessed me beyond measures and I am so thankful that I found him! He is my rock, and guides me every single day :)

2.I don't talk about my hubby *that* much, do I??!?! I know I am often talking about his career, and our life as a military family. But there is SO much more to this man than that! He is a loving husband, father and my best friend. He makes me laugh when I feel like crying.  He's a strong, christian man.  Our idea of date night..is going to sporting goods store, or to the shooting range! We've been married for 7.5 years and I am so blessed to have him in my life. We met in such a crazy, unlikely way, and still fell in love! We have a beautiful family together and I'm so grateful. 

3. I am SO very thankful for my children! I have two *precious* children who literally light up my world! They keep me on my toes and constantly keep our world turning :)  I love them more than life itself and could not IMAGINE my life without them. I was made to me a mother!

4. My FAMILY! Parents, Siblings, Aunts & Cousins! My In Laws- Kevin and Emily-Simply wonderful people! Y'all are AMAZING!  They love me for *ME* and have ALWAYS been there for me :) Love Each and EVERY One of you *MORE* than you know!

5.. My *BEST* Friends! I have some of the BEST friends a girl could have! I miss y'all OH SO MUCH!!! All of my girls & Josh are simply the best friends I could ever ask for! I love you all!  

6. BLOGGING BUDDIES! I can't imagine blogging with out your help and support :) Seriously..amazing people and teachers! So LUCKY to have come in contact with~!

7. I am thankful that I am about to head to a place I like to call pure *heaven*...aka The MOUNTAINS! Can't wait to get up there and disconnect from the world a little bit!

8. AND FINALLY.. I am SO VERY Thankful to live in a country that is FREE! I am thankful for the men and women who defend our FREEDOM every single Day! We owe so much to our military! Thank them EVERY Chance you get!!!

whew! I'm done now :) Thanks for stopping by!

Till Next Time :)

A little R and R

Hey Y'all.  I took a little break this weekend to head down south a little bit.

I am visiting my family in Wilmington, NC. I don't know if  any of you have ever been to Wilmington, but it is absolutely beautiful! My family had a few things planned for our little get away. My husband is  Active Duty  in the US Navy...but they have the USS North Carolina set up on the river in Wilmington. My family thought we wouldn't want to see this because of being around it so much...just the opposite! My boys LOVED it! They are future sailors FOR SURE. They had so much fun walking around the ship, even in all of those tight spaces. I, on the other hand, was ready to get out of there :) I am a little skiddish when it comes to close quarters. I just don't know how those guys do it!!!!

I just LOVE this picture. I am so proud of all the men and women current & previous who give up so much to defend our country. It is literately the ultimate duty and I am amazed and blessed to know so many of these fine people.


I'm not sure if you saw but Jen over at The Teacher's Cauldron highlighted my Fall-Literacy-and-Math-Center-Mega-Packet 17-Centers! Be sure to hop on over and check her post out! My packet is on sale this weekend for 20% off so now is a great time to go snatch it up!!


Take an extra break today, after all, everyone needs a little r & r.
