Happy April everyone! To kick off this month I am linking up with the Fabulous Farley from Oh’ Boy 4th Grade… Here goes:
Listening: Simon and Garfunkel knew what they were doing by titling a song “Sound of Silence”, it is BLISSFUL after a busy week of school and Easter. I am soaking up the quiet and loving it… for now!
Loving: That I am on SPRING BREAK! It felt like it was never going to come, and it is finally here! I have no real plans other than relaxing, reading, TpT’ing, Blogging and spending some QT with my family and friends. Oh, and in honor of Spring Break I have a sale on my TpT store going on NOW until Thursday! Check it out- 20% off everything!
Thinking: maybe I should change this category to STRESSING… our State Test is in 3 weeks after break…. I feel like there is still A LOT that I want to cover…. we have covered so much, but there are still a few things that need to get done… I think everyone feels this way… who is ever completely ready?
Wanting: My husband is on a landscaping kick and he has been working really hard in his free time on ripping out the plants from the previous owner and weeds that have overtaken the yard. He even spent last Saturday jack hammering concrete out of the back yard so we can have a garden. BUT, ripping out is the cheap part…landscaping is the expensive part… I am hoping my TpT sales can help landscape the backyard and my hubs is even looking into some SAT tutoring as a side job for over summer. We shall see.

| This is a picture, taken by Apples and ABCs. Michelle and I were having a blogging date and we looked out the window and saw my husband cutting down a tree. We were crying because of laughing so hard at him figure out how to cut it down and watching him shimmy up the tree with a little hand saw. |
Needing: Well, being almost 30 weeks pregnant makes shopping NOT fun! I am having 2 baby showers coming up and I want a cute dress (or two) to wear…. This should be a challenge!

Advice: We have all heard it, “sharing is caring”, and this cliche is true. Whether it be sharing a resource you created with a coworker or blogging friend, or giving an unexpected gift to a well deserved friend, letting people know you care is important. I have become a better teacher because of those mentors who have shared with me knowledge and resources and I have become a better parent, wife and friend by taking time to share with those around me who are in need. I encourage you to share some goodwill with a coworker, friend or family member this week. It will make your day and bless theirs!
That’s all for this month… I am excited to see what you all have shared on your April Currentlys.
Be sure to check out my sale:

Hey Layla:
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Loved the tree pics–but even more I love the red hair on that little cutie pie!
Enjoy Spring Break… I agree: The silence is a treat!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm glad I stopped over and was able to see the tree pictures…definitely good for a giggle! Hopefully you'll be able to get the landscaping done sooner rather than later. I need to redo my garden area and am not looking forward to find out how much it might cost!

Yay for spring break! What an exciting time for you with a baby on the way! I love the belly shot. Wish I had taken more of those. I can see why you had a good laugh over your tree trimming project! Enjoy your vacation time!
