Shoes and a HUGE Cyber Monday and Tuesday Sale!

Did the shoes catch your attention?  If you know me, you know I have a shoe obsession!   I tried to get my tax attorney to let me write off my shoe purchases because I sometimes blog about them, but he said since it is not the sole purpose of my blog, it is not going to fly.  Hmmm….shoe themed blog?   I thought I would update you on my latest shoe purchases…I went a little crazy at the Bloomingdales Friends and Family sale last weekend.   I do have a good excuse, I was sad about turning 35 and shoes make me happy!   The line up:  Frye Melissa Tall Riding Boots,  Vince Camuto Emmi, Calvin Klein Odette pumps, and Tory Burch Reva flats.   I know I am going to get comments that your husband would kill you if you came home with that many shoes.  Well, guess what I’m not married and I have to take the trash out myself…EVERYTIME!   I would gladly trade a few pairs of shoes, to not have to do that.

Now on to the REAL SALE!  Are you as excited as me?  I already have a ton in my cart.

Click here to start shopping in my shop!  Don’t forget to hop over to Blog Hoppin’ on Monday to see what we bought!   Our own fabulous, Amy Lemons, designed the button above.

      Go for it Kelley! They are so comfortable. When I was in Nashville I bought a brown pair and the saleslady said that people hand down Frye boots to their grandchildren. The leather lasts that long! Haha…don't know if I will be doing that but she convinced me to buy!

    Instant attention!! SWEET scores girlie!!! I'm on the look out for a new pair of brown boots. I've also been eyeballing no less than five pairs of MK flats. (When you love them you're supposed to buy them in every color,right…!?) 😉 I think we need to do some retail damage together in Vegas this summer!!

    Your Tory Burch's are ADORABLE 🙂 I love my slippers (but in the mainland you call it flip-flops) from TB. Have you tried their slippers? They're super comfy! We're not getting our Bloomingdales in Hawaii until next year. AAAHHH I can't wait for them to come 🙂

Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend bu Probably a little late to this Kinda Chic trend but I am old 😂.
Yes, I still dress up everyday.  I only wear sneakers on dress down days or for field trips, but I am not going to judge you for what you wear.  I have seen teachers running after kids, so I get wearing sneakers to work.  I love shopping, plus dresses are just more flattering and easier for me to wear.

I have always had a very organized and clearly labeled classroom.  That is my calm.  Some FB ladies have said it is too busy but it works for me.  I have never seen a kid getting distracted by it, there is so much more to distract them…like other kids.

I started small group weight training classes @elevationfitnessli in March of 2025 and have been going regularly.  I enjoy meeting and becoming friendly with the other teachers at our 4:30 classes.  I also love that I can see physical changes as well.  Pull-ups are so hard but I am proud of my progress.

I still love teaching after 24 years.  I don’t love how it has become harder than it was when I started (bigger class sizes, more behaviors, more curriculum to cover, etc.) but I still love connecting with my students and helping them grow.  We can retire at 55 years old, as a tier 4 teacher, and I think I will be ready then to go.  I am lucky that I have been able to stay in the same grade for almost all of those 24 years!

I have been a TpT seller since 2008 and a blogger since 2011!  Thank you all who have been with me over the years and welcome new teacher friends!

The first few weeks of school are all about modeli The first few weeks of school are all about modeling and practicing routines.  These are routines that will be reinforced all year long.  We can’t expect students to know how we expect them to do things, even simple things like walking in the hall without explicit instruction. 
🏫I teach my students to walk on the third tile from the wall when in line.  1. This gives them something to concentrate on while walking.  2. This keeps their hands off the walls.  This keeps their hands away from artwork and away from germs.  If you are a teacher you know first hand what students can do to walls 😂.
My students earn incentives for compliments from other teachers about their behavior.  They are so proud when they earn. *Of course, if you have students with special needs you would not expect everyone to walk on the third tile. Teachers know their students and what they are capable of.
F R E E Friday! 🚌My students love morning meeting F R E E  Friday! 🚌My students love morning meetings, I love morning meetings, and subs love them, too.  I have weekly themed meetings slides that I use throughout the year.  You can easily edit them or add to them.  When I am absent, I add my phonics, writing, and math slides to them to make it easier for a sub to get through the day.
