{Week 2} TpT Seller Challenge: Dare to Dream

June 22, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

Last week I signed up to be part of the TpT Seller Challenge hosted by Sparkling in Second, The Peppy Zesty Teacherista, Teach Create Motivate and Third in Hollywood created.

Today I am linking up for the second week of the TpT Seller Challenge that the fab 4 have created.  This week’s topic is Dare to Dream…

This past Friday was our last day, so I am officially on Summer Vacation!  One of the things I value about the summer time is having the ability to reflect and relax.  This week’s challenge is perfect for reflecting on some of the goals I have for TpT.  When I started this little side business of mine, I was incredibly motivated and encouraged by one of my real life best friends Michelle from Apples and ABCs.  Now that I am more involved in the blogging community, I am really  inspired to grow my business more. 

Family: I LOVE teaching and believe it is my calling to work in inner-city schools. In an ideal world, I would love to be able to work 3 days and stay home with my own littles 2 days a week.  I am lucky to have amazing friends and in-laws who help take care of my kids while I am working, but I would love to be more present with them. I am almost greedy over my time with them. 
Home: We bought a house 2 years ago and LOVE it.It is quaint, in a wonderful neighborhood and we have a lot of friends nearby.  Our house is almost 100 years old, so there are A LOT of things we need to do to it maintenance wise. We also want to make it more our own and that costs money.  A BIG dream of mine is to add onto our house and update the kitchen with my TpT income.
Grow:  I have had a lot of amazing opportunities come up and met a lot of great people through blogging and TpT. I want to grow more and make more connections. This is my first time attending the Vegas conference and I cannot wait to learn.  I am so excited but EXTREMELY nervous at the same time.  I tend to be a little shy at first, but I know I need to really put myself out there to make these connections and to grow more.  So, if you see the shy, little redhead in at the TpT conference, come up and say hello! You will make my day! 

I am excited to see what dreams you all have! Until next time.

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
