Welcome Back/Giveaway/Summer Bucket List Review

Greetings friends, it’s been FAR too long! However, I have been enjoying my summer. I am very, very, VERY relaxed (can you tell by the words I’m using? lol). So, I’m still alive, just taking a break from blogging for a little while. I’m back to the action now!

 Thanks for sticking with me through my hiatus. To show my appreciation, I’m having a small giveaway. Keep reading for more detail below. July is also my blog and TPT store anniversaries, so check back in the next few days for a small, but exciting celebration.
Before I give details on my small giveaway, I’d like to review my summer bucket list from this post. These were things I wanted to get accomplished during the summer.
1. READING CAMP: This was a total bust! There was some miscommunication with the camp director and myself, so the camp did not happen. boo-hoo (insert sad face). Next summer I plan to try my hand at another summer camp at the university that I graduated from.
2. CREATE NEW PRODUCTS: Umm…kinda! I need to do better y’all!
3. GET BABY TO SLEEP IN HIS ROOM: SUCCESS! He (we) got a late start, but he is finally in his own room. I still check to see if he’s breathing (moms you know about that).
4. GET A PLAN FOR GROUPING: Still working on it…
5. GO ON A TRIP: Still working on it…lol
6. LOSE THE BABY WEIGHT: I can fit my pre-pregnancy jeans so I am a happy lady! I still have a few more pounds to lose…don’t we all?
So, I still have a few things to work on regarding my bucket list before the summer is over! We return to school next month, but I am really enjoying my summer.
Now, to the giveaway! I plan to give away a product that is one of the top selling items in my store, First Day Frenzy.

    1. I wish I did more traveling this summer! Maybe I can squeeze in one more nearby place before school starts.

  7. I have moved classrooms within my school, so I've spent a lot of time there. First, packing it all up and purging, purging, purging! Now, I'm unpacking and settling in to my new space. :)

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    1. Well hopefully you have someone to help you with your packing and upacking Cathy! I have a feeling my principal is going to make me move classrooms this year too (but she hasn't said anything yet, so fingers crossed! lol)

  11. Thanks for checking out our blog! I am your newest follower. Glad you got your little one to sleep in his own room! That is great. I have two boys and I know what a great feeling that is! We are working on getting our youngest to go to sleep on his own... Anyways, I have been to the beach, working on TPT products, and loving spending so much extra time with my boys!
