Friday Favorites

My friends, Abby and Michelle and I are doing posts about our Friday Favorites!  Maybe you caught our posts on Periscope.   You still have time to watch them.  Look for Erica Bohrer and Michelle Oakes. 
Here are my favorites in no particular order!  Click the images to check them out. 
I love my X-Acto paper trimmer so much that I have one for home and school!  I am currently using it to cut up thank you note messages!  Then I glue the messages inside the cards, because I am lazy like that.   Haha…it is just neater and easier. 
I love Kendra Scott jewelry.  The picture above does not even do them justice!  Nordstrom had a big sale and I got the necklace then.  
I am into essential oils and love these travel vials by doTerra.  Peppermint is the best! 
I love my Kindle Paperwhite.  It is light and you can read on the beach with it!  I have had mine for years.  I also like how I can get a book instantly. 
The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists is an essential for any teacher who focuses a lot on phonics.  I use this book instead of “scrabble finder” when I am looking for words to add to my phonics center packets. 
I love hydrangeas and I love my laptop skin by Clique Shops!  Michelle Hudgens of Smitten with First introduced me to the laptop skins, I think she has {this} one.  I got myself the leopard print one and {this} one for my mom! 
Thanks for stopping by!  Don’t forget to check out Michelle and Abby later for their favorites.

    The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists is one of my favorites! I was introduced to it in grad school- it's an essential for any reading teacher or specialist. I too love essential oils- I've never used the roll ons though. Will have to check them out!

      Yes, this is my first experience with roll-ons, too. I thought it was very easy to just throw in your purse and go.

    I'm a big fan of peppermint in the winter when I have a cold. Have you tried lavender? It is my favorite!!! I have a Balance Blend roll on, and I love it!

      Yes, I love Lavender and Thieves. I am all out of Thieves, it is a Young Living Oil for immune support. Great for the winter and cheaper than Frankincense.

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.
