Tell Me More Linky

July 25, 2012 By fancyfreein4th

Today I am linking up with Amy at Step into 2nd Grade with Mrs. Lemons to share a little bit more about me! Here are 10 facts about me.

1) I was in the June edition of Brides magazine. I am the one in the yellow boots.  My husband and I were asked to model for a friends photo shoot and 2 years later one of my best friends called me and told me that she was looking in a magazine and saw me!

Here’s another one!
 2)  I love to throw parties!  I know I shared my daughter’s Very Hungry Caterpillar party earlier this month… Earlier this Spring, I hosted a baby shower for one of my close friends and it was a little gentleman theme. 

3) My husband and I are total foodies. We love to experiment in the kitchen and try all sorts of crazy techniques. We are also a part of this Fancy Schmancy Supper Club with 4 other couples. We meet 5 times a year and dress to the nines. Each couple hosts a themed 7 course dinner where we make EVERYTHING from scratch.

4) I LOVE SCRABBLE! MY husband and I played it on our very first date almost 5 years ago and it has been a running theme in our family.

For each month during her first year, I took a picture with her in a onesie that said how old she is

5) For our honeymoon we traveled South America for one month. It was amazing.
6) I love candy… I mean LOVE it. I definitely have a sweet tooth.
7) I am a gym-a-holic. I go 6 days a week and when I was pregnant, I worked out up until 9 months.
8) My favorite food is soup- which I think is pretty weird.
9) I am a reality TV JUNKIE! I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette, of course I am watching the Bachelor Pad… I love Project Runway, Top Chef, Food Network Star
10) I love to read or to listen to books on tape.  I am just finishing Divergent and am really excited to read Emily Giffin’s new book Where We Belong!

    Your parties look so fun. I really like the scrabble above your babies head. That is so cute.

    My favorite food is soup, too – it's definitely not weird! I'm making it for dinner tonight, actually – even though it is almost 100 degrees out. Now that, I think, is weird 😉

    Your daughter is adorable, and I love her Scrabble-themed room and photos!

    Love the Scrabble tiles! So cute. Now I'm hungry and I want a seven course spread. However, I'm not feeling the urge to workout. 🙂

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
