Holiday and Seasonal Product Giveaway

Its the third week of Teaching in the Net month long Birthday Blow out Celebration. If you are just now joining us, you will be blown away at the selection of prizes you can win this week. With one more week to go it is an event to not to be missed. Let's get started with a little bit about my top three favorite holidays.

1. Easter-My kids find so many ways to use those colorful plastic eggs. They make great counting and word games. Of course sometimes those eggs are filled with candy, and it encourages my little ones to get their work completed. Then they are allowed to eat it. The day is celebrated with a few Easter eggs hunts, and a family dinner. 

2. Fourth of July- I love watching the fireworks light up the sky. My youngest son, I still have to hold my hands over his ears while he cuddles real close to me and watches. He just doesn't like the noise. 

3. Christmas- Everything about Christmas makes me smile. All of it, picking out a tree, making holiday cookies, shopping, wrapping gifts and spending time with your loved ones. There is something magically about that time of the year. Its hectic and busy but putting all the time and effort into making it a special day is worth it. My daughter's birthday is on Christmas Eve. She is my own little miracle.  It makes the holiday more special. 

What are your 3 favorite holidays? Think about it as you check out this week's seasonal/holiday products. It almost feels like its a back to school giveaway. Well, let's not rush that, instead just think ahead. You will be prepared with these resources for WHEN you go back to school.

Pool Party Birthday Blog Hop

Last week I turned the big 3-0 folks. Yes its officially. Let's celebrate with a blog hop and a giveaway. Together with 30+ TPT bloggers we are kicking this summer off with teaching ideas, freebies, sales, and three giveaway packs totaling in $300. I know you are just going to love what you find during this hop. Oh and I put together a handy ebook so you can find Teachers Pay Teachers' sellers on their social media networks and everything is hyperlinked so all you have to do is download and click away to connect. 

My daughter loves keeping track of all the birds that come into our backyard. One thing we do is keep a nature journal of our feathered friends. Its a project that you can start in the summer and continue with all year long. It can be simple as keeping a blank notebook with drawings and research finding.  Or students can type them and create a journal.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

I went shopping last night or rather super really this morning, you have to love how some stores stay open for us last minute shoppers and I was thinking about all the blessing I have this season. It is the night before Christmas, my heart is overfilled with joy and the only place I can think of to share is here with all of you. 

Decorating the tree is always a favorite thing around here. We turn up the Christmas music and add all our collections from the past years. Here are my sweet little ones adding the last few ornaments on the tree. They are reason for being. I was meant to be their mom. 

What is your favorite Christmas song? My four year's song goes a little something like this...

Jin-gle bells, jin-gle bells,

ROCK

Mer-ry Chr-is-tmas,

fa lala lala lala

To-mor-row, to-mor row,

I love you, to-mor-row

(cue in clapping folks) 

We were watching the movie Annie, so I guess he picked up a part of it. We still need some practice with our holiday songs. He is super cute when he sings it just like that probably 100 times or so a day.

It is my daughter's birthday. She turns 8 today. Eight years have passed by much to fast. She has three brothers who spoil her, play with her. I love seeing their friendship grow. She loves dressing up and painting her nails. Her newest thing is straightening her very curly hair. She loves this new look. Occasionally, I even let her wear colored lip gloss. Something so simple yet she makes such a fuss about it. In this picture with her hair straight  it is the same sweet expression from when she was a toddler. I caught myself thinking about her 8 years from today at 16. This little girl is growing up, I wish she'd stop that. (yea I guess that is not going to happen lol) Focusing on the right now.

 Happy Birthday my sweet darling girl!

This year I have had the pleasure of blogging with the wonderful ladies from The Teaching 2 Step. They are teachers who inspire a love of learning in their students. We created a blog where we share our teaching ideas, tips, share freebies, and provide information about lessons that others would love to use in their classroom. Collaborating with them has been a blessing. I am looking forward to a new year. Recently, we wrote a blog about all about our favorite thing during Christmas, we would love it for you to stop by and meet The Teaching 2 Step Gals.
