Back to Work

Today was the first day back to work for me. Did anyone else head back to work this week? I wasn't excited for this day to come because I was NOT ready to take my son to daycare for the whole day. But I probably never would have been! I was lucky enough to have almost 4 months off with him since April, which was so nice!

So the morning started off rough.. for me! Here is a picture of him in his new clothes ready for the day!

You can't tell but I'm behind the camera bawling!

 

It is hard to get back into the swing of things like thinking, sitting for long periods of time, listening to speakers! Ha! First day back and we are already talking behavior! EEK! BRAIN HURTS! 

 

Hopefully, after a few more days I will have my classroom reveal up ! Until then!

 

 

 

 



 

 

Five for Friday!

I thought it would be fun today to link up for Five for Friday with Doodlebugs! So here goes!

So excited Ryder is starting to smile a ton and laugh! And I actually caught a picture of it this week! School is a month away already. I'm going to be sad to leave him for the day, it's been so nice staying home with him!

 

I am a LITTLE obsessed with making bowties for my little one! They are so fun and cute! He has one for all the upcoming holidays so far! I'm contemplating selling these on Etsy but need to do a little more research!

 

 

I finally finished up some of my clipart that I have been putting off for what seems like forever! Aren't these just so cute? They go great with my Road Trip Theme in my classroom! I need to get to printing! Check them out at my store!

Another project I finished up last night. Yay! A sweet, little jester hat for my neighbor's soon-to-be-here granddaughter! I love the tassels on top! Her parents love the Renaissance Fair so hopefully they will love this too!



And last, I started working on my outdoor landscaping project that I have been staring at all summer. I'm just getting started on the outline, but hey gotta start somewhere. After moving rocks for about 45 minutes and sweating in the heat, I came across a small snake! Yikes! Needless to say, I was done for the evening. Wonder if the neighbors heard me scream!

That's it for today! I look forward to checking out everyone's post!

Monday Made it!

Wow. What a weekend! Spent from Thursday to Sunday at the Lake, and I'm happy to say I have somewhat of a tan! Yay!

Here is a quick picture of my baby in his patriotic gear! This is the pallet I painted last week!

The 4th of July inspired my made it for this week!

 Now on to my Made its with Fourth Grade Frolics! Love this linky!

 

Check out this adorable bowtie I made for his July 4th Outfit! I really got back into crocheting the last few weeks I was pregnant because I needed something to do! :) They are super easy to crochet!

 

 So I decided to make a few more for him to wear during the holidays! I've made 2 Halloween themed and one Christmas so far! (One of them is not done yet!) I love them!

 Last, I whipped up a holiday hat for Ryder for Christmas. I made lots of hats for his newborn photo shoot, but now he has grown out of them! There is a great pattern to make this from RepeatCrafterMe. Check it out there are tons of cute, free patterns!

 That's it for this week! Can't wait to find some more project on your Monday Made it!

 

 



Monday Made It

Wow. I cannot believe how long I have been away from my Blog! I guess that's what having a baby will do to you!

 Meet Baby Ryder! My first MMI is a Father's Day Present for my Husband! So fun! All I did was paint these letters and take the pictures. I love the funny faces!

 

 My 2nd MMI is something that I have had sitting around for awhile and I finally finished! I started my Road Trip Theme last year and absolutely love it. I will be continuing it this year when I move to 3rd grade. I am going to use these for bulletin boards and for my students' names. These are now available in my store.

 

 

 

MMI 3 came from an idea I got from my son's nursery decoration. We used a big vinyl tree decal to put on his wall. I thought this would be a great idea for a classroom. These would be great to use for a Class Tree, or a Thankful Tree bulletin board or clipart! Check out my store to see more.

 

 

 

I'm so excited to see all the other MMI's today! I love summer! Head over to Fourth Grade Frolics to check them out!
