Currently February

I can't believe I've been doing these for over a year! Farley is so awesome to put this on at the beginning of each month, and it has gotten HUGE! I looked and I'm the 169th link-up! Geez! 


Listening: We had a birthday party this morning (one of Keagan's little buddies turned one), so Keagan's sleep schedule is a little off. I put him down for a nap when we got home at 12:30, but he only slept for an hour. So I put on Jonah, and it kept his attention for a little while. It makes me smile that he loves Veggietales. They're so cute!

Loving: I can't believe that I've already passed the $500 mark since opening my store last May! I finally took the plunge and upgraded to a premium seller. This month has already proven that was a great idea!

Thinking: I had been wanting mint color jeans since the summer, but I was waiting until I lost some more weight. Now that I'm 2-3 pounds away from my goal, I'm starting to buy more clothes. I went shopping Thursday and bought some mint jeans, black leggings, and a sweater. Surprisingly, the only thing I'm keeping are the leggings. I'm in love with them, and I never thought I'd do that!

Wanting: Have you heard of these It Works wraps? I have a lot of loose skin around my belly, and a lot of people have lost quite a few inches from using them (with proper eating and exercise habits in place). I've been doing a lot of healthier eating and using my Zumba dvd more frequently. I think I may try it, but I have to be ready to spend $60 for it. Has anyone else tried it?

Needing: This week was not a good week for me exercise-wise. I decided sleep was more important. Then my actual Zumba class I go to on Wednesday had to be cancelled because storms were coming.

Pet Peeves: I believe I've talked about these before, but I HATE both of these things! I see too many kids (and parents or other adults) who feel like they deserve things they haven't done a thing for. It drives me CRAZY!! And, like Farley, I would rather my kids tell me the truth no matter how bad it is than lie to me. I can't stand not being able to trust them. I tell them that every year. That once I find out they've lied to me, I won't trust them anymore, and that kills me.

Okay, Keagan needs my attention. I think he's cutting more teeth!

  1. WOW look at you $500 on TpT...I sold $0.60 so far...but really only have 2 things on there...LOL...once I sort the CCSS out and need to create things for it, I will then go banans and 'catch up' to all you overacheivers making a profit! Congrats!

    MInt jeans? I'm just not going to say anything, but ....I grew up in the 80's..mint jeans are so 80's!

  3. Wow! $500 is amazing! I haven't created anything on my TPT account. I have no idea where to start with all the copyright laws. Maybe you can give me a few pointers?

    I love Zumba. I used to do it twice a week last year, but have sadly fallen out of the routine this school year.

    I absolutely love your blog title. I am a HUGE Mo Willems fan!

  4. You will definitely love that you upgraded to the premium level! It is so worth it! I am your newest follower, and I also agree that entitlement is for the birds. Some of my students just want me to "give" them a grade...which I refuse to do. They receive exactly what they earn.

  8. LOL I found your blog through currently and clicked because of your name. I always stay Up WAY too late, and kick myself all day the next.

    SO I'm very curious about the upgraded level.... I have 28 items up but have only made 7 dollars profit. Trying to figure out if it would be worth it to upgrade.

    But COngrats on your milestone that IS awesome.

  10. I found you through Farley's linky as well:) That is sooo awesome that you've had such great success with you TpT account! I was not a big fan of the colored skinny jeans when they came "back" out, but I am starting to fall in love with the mint colored jeans! I'll have to check Target out! Love that place!

    We are ALL Special!
