I mean, what teacher (or girl, for that matter) doesn't like Pinterest, right? I'll be honest, since I've only been out of school for 3 weeks and don't go back until the end of August, I haven't gotten into the mood for pinning a lot of teacher-related items recently. However, I did find this amazing gem! Even though I'm not a regular classroom teacher anymore, I always had plenty of kids who needed redirection. I used to print out a simple morning/afternoon schedule to tape on their desk so they could check it off. This is SOO much better and will last a lot longer!
Around the end of the school year, I created a board for hair and nails. My hair is SO thick, and I have a lot of trouble maintaining it over the summer. I love this style, but I haven't tried it yet. Not sure if my hair is quite long enough, though.
A cleaning tip - did you know that you can (and should) wash pillows twice a year? I didn't know they could be washed. We always just bought new ones when they started smelling/yellowing. This link also walks you through how to get them white again.
No, I'm not pregnant again (yet), but I thought this was a cute gender reveal. You get someone to put colored confetti into a solid color balloon, and then the mom pops it!
And one that's Fourth of July related, of course! How fun would it be to eat an edible firecracker? I'm in!

I did not know you should wash your pillows. Interesting. And that braid makes me wish for long hair (for a second!). :O)
ReplyDeleteI love the confetti in the balloon! Cute!! :O)

I didn't know you could wash pillows either! I am so going to do it SOON! lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on Pinterest since I got out for summer break. I should though because I LOVE that hairstyle also. I have been itching to cut my hair but I love braiding it during the summer. I'm gonna wait until it is long enough to donate.
I am following you on Pinterest now and am SO gonna check out your hair and nails board. Oh and the teacher ones too- closer to going back. lol

I love the braid. Going to try it tomorrow! Also, noticed you said you aren't pregnant again. Hang in there. It is easy to get defeated. I have been through one complete round of fertility treatments, that's 4 not pregnant blood tests. Having faith and hope are great things, but they are hard at times. Wishing you luck on your journey!

Have you tried the pillow washing yet? I have a similar pin but I'm afraid to throw my pillows in the washer.
ReplyDeleteI was giggling at the edible firecrackers. My husband had never had pop rock before (I know!) and I gave some to him. Ok, I'll be honest and say I tricked him and said "Try this really good candy." The look on his face was priceless!
