Currently January

1st post of the year!! How awesome is that!! A new month means linking up with Farley for another Currently! 

Listening- Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

Loving - The new year!
Not only do I love New Year's Eve because it's my dad's birthday (he turned 68!) but it's one of my favorite days because it means a NEW BEGINNING. I'll take any chance to start again, try becoming better and refresh any time! 

Thinking - I need to work on my 2016 planner!! 
So this year I'm actually going to try to keep up with my planners. I bought this amazing goal planner from Etsy. I love it because it focuses on working towards your goals!

Wanting - For this terrible cold to go away 
I can't be the only one who gets sick every time we go on break right??? Something strange happens to my body but I get sick every.single.time! This year I thought I had avoided it and then one night...it happened...I woke up with a cold! 
I've been trying it to get rid of it for almost a week now...ugh!! 

Needing - To finish unpacking the garage
I'm embarrassed to admit this but I haven't finished unpacking my garage!! We moved into our new house in October and my garage is still a mess!! It just became dumping ground for everything that didn't have a place to go and now I'm dealing with the consequences...oops!
I started working on it yesterday....
From this...

to this...

I obviously still have a lot of work to do (maybe I shouldn't be on my laptop writing this post right now lol) but it WILL get done before Sunday :)! 


Thank you for stopping by. I wish you all a very amazing 2016!

Currently November

I cannot believe this is the NOVEMBER currently link up... already?!?!
I love this time of the year, it's my absolutely favorite! Not too hot, not too cold... at least where I am in Texas! 

Listening: No don't worry it's not me watching ESPN...Im definitively NOT a sports girl... My husband is watching something (no idea what?!) on ESPN... it all sounds the same to me lol

Loving: So yesterday I asked my husband to run to the store cause I was running low on coffee creamer... he came back with this super soft blanket from Target (for some reason my dog thought the blanket was for him!) Very sweet thing to do but he was just trying to tell me he's not turning the AC off just yet lol. See... we have a BIG problem at our house, he's ALWAYS hot and wants to keep the AC running and of course... I'm ALWAYS cold and freezing to death! Can anyone relate? How do you deal with this?! 

Thinking: So everyone's talking about the extra hour of sleep they got today... not sure where mine went?! What did you do with your extra hour? 

Wanting: Whenever I'm not working, reading or spending time with my family... I like to spend my time BAKING and trying new recipes!! I've always struggled with cooking but baking is a different story, I could just bake and bake ALL DAY LONG! 

Needing: We moved into our new house about a month ago (finally) and I just can't seem to finish unpacking!!! It might just have to wait until Thanksgiving break!! 

YUMMY: Last year I made this DELICIOUS Snickers apple pie but I CANT seem to find or remember the recipe. I found a similar one on Pinterest and I might just have to give it a try. Who knows...maybe it will be better! 

Hope you have an amazing month of November friends!!

Currently - Let's Welcome July!

Its that time of the month! What a better way to welcome JULY!!! than to link up with Farley  for the monthly and super fun CURRENTLY!!

Listening - It's 5:00 am... so thats pretty much all there is... can't play any music cause the 2 boys in the house (husband and dog) are still sleeping...!

Loving - I'm seriously loving SUMMER! What a surprise huh? For a teacher to love summer lol. But this summer has been different. I'm still trying to learn how to RELAX. It's the first year I haven't made or prepared anything for my classroom. I desperately needed a break and I'm thankful to get one.

Thinking- haha you're probably thinking... 'well ya your to-do list keeps getting longer if you keep relaxing'... but I've actually been quite productive just not about anything school related. I usually do my spring cleaning in the summer (insert embarrassed face here!). So it has been nice to have time to do it but it feels like I'll never finish! Here's the checklist I'm using in case you're in the same boat!

Wanting - Admit it! I'm not the only one who wants a brand new back to school wardrobe. I mean that's not just for kids right?? I might have to start throwing some hints to my husband so he'll be mentally prepared in August...oops!

Needing - Our office has been my dumping ground for almost 2 years. It started as the room where we put all the boxes we didn't have time to unpack. Then it became school supply storage and now it has evolved to a huge MESS! It's driving me crazy. The thing is that we might be moving to a new home soon so I just can't find the inspiration to organize! Do you have any tips?!?!

All * - It has always been easy for me to spell words. Of course I make spelling mistakes but if you need someone to proofread something... I'm your person! My colleagues are constantly coming to my room asking to proofread and edit their newsletters. I might be terrible in math but at least I can spell right?

Now head over to Farleys and join everyone else for some more CURRENTLY fun :) !

August Currently!!

I cannot believe August is here! I go "back to work" in two weeks. Let all the BTS craziness begin! I'm linking up with Farley over at 'Oh Boy 4th Grade' to get back into the BTS mode:) 

Listening - Oh come on Will just take off your shirt and tell us! - Remember this episode with Brad Pitt? haha!I absolutely LOVE f.r.i.e.n.d.s ... I would watch it all day long if I could.

Loving - I have been working summer school so I was anxiously waiting for the weekend. I have one more week left... I can do this!! 

Thinking - I might blame this one on summer school... I really thought I would have more time to get things done and it's already August! aahhh!! 

Wanting - I usually print my lesson planner at Office Depot and put it in a binder. I love it and it helps me stay organized all year long. But this year I haven't even had a chance to look for it. I keep writing all my to dos on post its... I NEED my planner soon!!

Needing- So many things to get ready for BTS. I am lucky enough to be staying in the same grade level next year so I will be reusing a lot of the decorations and materials from last year but there are so many more I want to replace/add. 


Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
