Year 3. Month 2.

Month 2✅ I’ve never been asked “can I smell you?” (or some variation) so much in my life🤣 This teacher survived Halloween 2019 as a mint-scented Mr. Sketch marker! October was a little better than September. Still hard. Still exhausting. But I think we are finding a little groove🤞 I

Baby Shower

Don’t you just love baby showers?! I am not usually a fan of the games–way out of my comfort zone–but I went to a shower earlier this week where we played a trivia game and that was super fun! Gifts for baby showers are my absolute FAVORITE to do! I

Mom. Farmer. Teacher. I love all things messy play but organization keeps me sane! You can find me in the tractor or in the basement laminating and binding everything!
