Love Notes Link Up!


So I thought it would be fun to link up with Amy from Literacy and Laughter to get to know some more blogger buddies through her Love Notes Linky Party!

I am always so amazed at how many teacher blogs there are out there and try to get on and read as many as I can! I love to hear about teacher's tales from inside the classroom!

"Lovely List"

“We’d all love to know…”

What are your favorite hobbies or what do you enjoy doing during your free time? 
I wouldn't really say I have that much free time... I'm a new mommy to a 6 week old, (GASP!!!!) I mean 7 week old baby boy!!!! But, one of my newest hobbies ( and FAV!)  is hanging out with my little man.  He never ceases to amaze me! He is just starting to smile and coo. It melts my heart when he flashes that gummy smile! He even started to roll over! HEART! 




 In addition I love to create teacher resources, blog, and read other teacher's blogs. I am also a runner. I am just starting to build back up my mileage after baby but there were times where I was running 40-50 miles a week if I was training for a race...you know- back when I had the energy! LOL!

Your favorite vacation destination?
 The Mr. and I LOVE to travel! My favorite place to visit is my family  in Up-State New York. It is so quaint and peaceful up there!



The best advice you’ve been given?
Roll with the punches!
I've been known to take things a little too personal or serious (especially when it comes to my teaching!!!)

Most rewarding part of teaching?
Where do I begin? I Love teaching because it is rewarding! I guess the most rewarding part of teaching is looking out into the classroom and knowing that I am making a difference in each of those little one's lives!

What are you known for?
SMILING! 
Like ALL.THE.TIME!!!! LOL! 

2 random facts:
#1
I've known my hubby since I was in 4th grade! He lived down the street from me and I was best friends with his younger sister!! He was even my first kiss! Here is our first family picture (I'm 8 months pregnant!)
#2 
I am ADDICTED to Pinterest! If I am not pinning something for my classroom, then I am pinning some new idea for the baby's nursery (Yes, it's been 7 weeks and it is still not done... ) But, my favorite pins are the recipes. I love to bake! I am well known around school as the "baking teacher" and love to bring in little homemade cookies for my kiddos as special treats! Pinterest keeps me inspired!

 The Loves of Your Life:
The Mr.!
Cutest baby EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
My Two Handsome Boys!

My Little Girl, Molly! She's a dapple doxie!
So that's a little about me and "My Loves"! Be sure to check out Amy's Literacy and Laughter Blog to see all the other "Love Notes"!

  5. I loved reading your Love Notes Linky. :) I love that you smile all the time. I did have to think about my FAVE movie ever, Elf, when Buddy says that Smiling is his favorite. Thanks for sharing.
