HELP!

So, I'm in need of some MAJOR help. I was just over loaded with papers on my desk so I decided to get something to help me get (and stay) organized throughout the year (and hopefully years to come). So, I just bought a new Filetastic at mardel.com and it's super cute and I love it, but I'm wondering how all you super organized teachers out there organize your files at school. I know what I need, but then again I don't because things keeps piling up on my desk. Can you help me with labels for my file folders?? And ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

FREE St. Patty's Day Card Template

I LOVE St. Patrick's Day!  I'm not sure why...I'm not Irish & green isn't my favorite color, I just like it!  So, this year I found the cutest green stick-on mustache in the Target Dollar Zone.  I put it on my little cutie while he was wearing his new St. Patty's Day tee from Old Navy & took pictures.  They turned out so cute that I just HAVE to send them out to family & friends.  I plan on emailing my pictures because I'm in the midst of mailing his 3rd birthday invitations, so I don't want to bombard everyone with mail right now! :)


So, I thought you might want the template I made for my card too!  It's cute for pictures of your own kiddos or also for pictures of your class.  How about printing out the card & giving one to your Principal & Assistant Principal or sending a copy home to your kids' parents?  Just a few ideas!  :)


The card template can be downloaded as a 4x6 or a 5x7 size.  Both versions are formatted as psd files, so you can insert your photo easily!

Here's the one I made...  

And, here's what the template looks like when you download...

St. Patty's Day Freebie

I remember when I was in the classroom how hard it was to find St. Patrick's Day treats for my kiddos.  So, I decided to make some circle tags that you could use to dress up cupcakes, tie onto wrapped cookies, or onto a bag of gold chocolate coins.  It would even be cute tied onto individual bags of Lucky Charms.  So, as a gift of luck to all our AWESOME readers, you can have them for FREE!!!

My Favorite Things Linky Party

Thank you to Jodi over at Fun in First Grade I am joining her linky party and letting you know some of my favorite things:

Love me some Dr. Seuss, and my favorite story/movie is Horton Hears a Who!

I hate that I love Dr. Pepper so much, but it is one of my favorite things. I only allow myself one a day and oh what a joy that time of day is!! 

Even though I'm on a very tight budget, I still seem to be able to save up money for a new Coach purse at least once a year. This is the one I am currently saving up for! 

My favorite place to  shop. I could spend thousands of dollars in this store which is why I am so glad I do not have one right down the street.

I love sleeping in late! What more can I say?

I love ANY and ALL pastas. I'm actually craving pasta as I type this. Yummy!! I REALLY enjoy Cara's recipes over at Pearls-Handcuffs-Happyhour. She definitely keeps me coming back for more!

I love spending time with Mr. Perfect. Coming home to him is one of my most favorite parts of the day....another would be going to bed beside him.  AHH!! 

The Pampered Chef is FABULOUS. I am just simply ADDICTED! I just had a party and won over $1,245 in merchandise and I'm actually making another list of things I want/need. 

Guess you could say I'm a sucker for home parties, but I love anything that is cute, pink and monogrammed and this is ALL THAT and more wrapped up in one. Love it!

Aren't fonts FONTABULOUS? I love them all and could probably tell you the name of more fonts while I'm driving down the interstate on billboards than any person I know. My husband thinks it's talent, but I think it's obsessive.

iT! Jeans! Love them. I do not wear anything but these and Big Star (I don't really care that much for Big Star because they are not very durable). You can dress them up or just hang out at home in them, but they are SUPER comfortable and very CUTE!

one word: F*A*N*T*A*B*U*L*O*U*S!

Yes, I'm addicted and so is my husband. :)

This was the best decision that Mr. Perfect and I could have ever made together. It has strengthened our marriage more than I could have ever imagined. No more fighting over the budget and Mr. Perfect can actually discuss money heartburn free! It's fabulous and I love the cash envelope system. It is also an awesome witnessing tool as well. Many people ask me how I manage my money and it's a great time to tell them about finding peace through God, and with his help we have found ours! Complete marriage-saver. You must run over and find the next one in your area!
