Pinteresting Find-- Noise Management

So I just saw this pinned from Deanna Jump and Mrs Carroll (The First Grade Parade) and I couldn't NOT share this IMMEDIATELY. Things like this excite me and since I'm not in the classroom this year I couldn't help myself. 
So many of are finally settling into the new school year (some are ready for grade cards already) and then some of you are just starting your 2nd week, but ANYWAY- regardless of where you are in the school year, this tool will be beneficial to you.

This cool tool is for noise management in the classroom. So when you're doing group work or just individual seat work this tool will be most helpful. You tell them to NOT make the balls bounce. The students will love to watch and monitor their own progress making them more responsible and keeping you from stopping the music (you may or may not play during work time) and telling them to be quiet or writing the word Recess up on the board...taking away a letter at a time and when its gone their Recess is gone (that works too but again interrupts the teacher)

I had to try this at home just to see if it works--it's super fun and my daughter really enjoyed the screaming that I did while she was playing. Ha! Happy Tuesday Ya'll! Hey-- tomorrow is 

Laundry Room Spaces

I am on what seems like an impossible mission. My husband and I currently have our home for sale in hopes of moving closer to his workplace. In the meantime, I am at home dreaming... in other words, glued to the computer screen looking at Pinterest during my little ones nap times---when I SHOULD be doing laundry. Ha!! I have never had an actual laundry room. I currently just have a laundry closet and yes I do love it because it doesn't take up much space and it's close to the bedrooms. HOWEVER, I do laundry during nap time and oftentimes the spin cycle wakes up the little one---not to mention the vibration when washing something heavy like sheets or towels. Ugh. Annoying. Anyway, I've found so many great spaces that I like and I wanted to share them with you.  

I love how big this space is and how much light the windows bring in! I also love the storage space!! A-MAZE-ING!

Love the window and all the counter space for folding!! 

WHOA I think this would have to be named---Heavenly Laundry Space. {insert heavenly angels singing here}

Love how clean this looks!!

Who doesn't want 2 washers and dryers?? WOW!

Let's open this up for conversation---what is your MUST have for a laundry room?? What could you live without? I look forward to hearing from you!!

Mood Monday

As I'm decorating for one of my most favorite Hallmark holiday....VALENTINE'S....I cannot help but think about pink today. 

SO need one of these:

Ordered one of these today and CANNOT wait to get it in!

I WILL be buying this color

My favorite flower

Ok y'all....Daphne knows this about me (seeing as every time we go out we MUST stop by Dunkin Donuts) but seriously. I am OBSESSED with donuts. I saw this and I'm thinking what a great idea---a donuts themed party course those would be donut pops instead of baby heads and we wouldn't need that cake because the donut cake is cake enough!! Ah...that's MY kind of party! 

Just had to throw this one in

Enjoy your pink day my friends!!
