First up is Meet the Teacher! Let’s see...where to begin...I was born on a rainy, Monday afternoon...JUST KIDDING! I’ll just stick to 10 things!
1. I am starting my 8th year of teaching. Straight out of college, I taught Kinder at a tiny private school, but then moved to 1st grade in a big public school for my 2nd year and have been there ever since! I love teaching first grade because I feel like they learn so much and I love getting to see progress in my kiddos’ reading skills! Plus, I feel like they are still innocent and love their teachers- I could NOT handle attitudes and hormones from middle schoolers!
3. My husband and I love to travel, especially to see concerts from a few of our favorite bands. We just got back in town from this summer’s road trip, which involved driving through 12 states! In the summer of 2010, we covered 33 states!! We’ve seen some amazing places in this beautiful country of ours!
4. I collect Fiestaware!! Actually, I am obsessed with it!! I have two hutches full of it and it’s hard for me not to buy more! I mix and match the colors and I think it is just so pretty!
5. Less than a month ago, my teaching bestie just moved across the country! I miss her already! :( We’ve taught together for the past 6 years and I don’t know what I’m going to do with out her! I’ve already got a trip planned for the fall to go visit her and I can’t wait!

6. I love ice cream! Bluebell, soft serve, Dairy Queen- you name it, I like it!

10. My biggest guilty pleasure is Bravo TV! I can’t get enough of it! Love The Real Housewives, Top Chef, Million Dollar Listing NY (high kick, anyone?) and so many more! They keep my DVR on overdrive! I faithfully record and watch TRH of Orange County, Atlanta and New Jersey and have seen most of Beverly Hills and NY. Never really gotten into Miami, though.

I love The Real Housewives too! Hubby can only tolerate the Orange County one. He refuses to watch the other ones so I have to sneak them in when he's not home. I also could never really get into the Miami one - not sure why.
ReplyDeleteI love the drama! I do get tired of the same old story with Teresa and Melissa on the Jersey version, though! Just move on! My husband watches OC, ATL and NJ with me, although he'll never admit it in public! :)
DeleteYum!! I love ice cream too!! I learned that from my dad and his dad. I think it is a family thing.

I totally agree! My great grandmother claimed that she had a "dessert pocket" and no matter how full she was from dinner, she always had room for dessert! :)
DeleteYOU'RE THE ONE!!!! You're the one I follow on Instagram and you're the one who inspired me to start wanting to collect Fiesta dishware! I tried and tried to find your picture again, but I couldn't remember who it was. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your collection and how you collect different colors.
ReplyDeleteBTW your blog is absolutely adorable! I'm your newest follower :)
