Good Morning Lovelies! Hope you all are having a great Monday or at least an okay one at best. I know those Mondays can be ruff stuff sometimes!
This morning I am hobbling around because I "Just Danced" it a little too hard this weekend. Did you know that pretending to churn butter like a gal from the 1800's is a great dance move? Nope, neither did I.
I'm also breathing a sigh of relief because *gasp* we got our school Valentines done early this year! After last years wails of, "Where's my class list?!" "My ink is wiping off!!" "Why can't I give myself 5 extra Valentines?!" I got smart and did them early and I printed the kids' classroom names and who they were from on labels and then they stuck them on their Valentines. Ya, ya, yeah. I know it's not the same when the kids actually take the time to painstakingly write each name down on the Valentine, but I didn't have the 300 hours that it takes for my kids to write all those names. And in case you didn't know, fancy names are in! We're talking names with 9+ letters and phonics that don't make sense. I love names with a little creativity, but I don't love helping my 1st graders trying to write it, so no "mommy judging"! Whew. Glad I could get that off my chest.
We are going to be testing out a new feature this Monday! Laurie and I will be sharing with you some of the cool and funky things we've found that we think you, our wonderful readers, might love. Plus we will be saving you all the hours and hours we've wasted looking at said, cool and funky things; and unlike us, you might actually have time for clean dishes and laundry!
