Summer Bucket List Link-Up 2013

Summer is almost here!! Some of my fabulous friends, Miss Kindergarten, A Cupcake for the Teacher, and The Modern Teacher are having their second annual Summer Bucket List Linky :] My last day of school is June 20th, but I am okay with that.. still lots to do and catch up with for the end of the year!

Laura's Summer Bucket List
 
1. Go to Lake George
My honey and I go to Lake George every year whether it be for Great Escape, or outlet shopping, or walking by the lake - but with not having too much money, we just take a local visit 45 minutes north and stay there for a day (or sometimes two.)  We do love to go there to get away, shop, walk around, and eat good food!! The picture below is us last year in Lake George. [We also will attend many fairs and eat bad food as well in the summer]
 
2. Work out, eat better... for real.
I need to get my act together and do better about my health.  I especially need to get into that lifestyle since I will be SUPER busy working 10 hour days... oh yes people, I work more in the summers than I do the rest of the 10 months of the year, so I BETTER HAVE ENERGY and get on that! I need more motivation and to not give up!!
 
3. Create more TPT and TN units
I definitely want to find time in my busy schedule to continue to build on my Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook stores.. with all of your support, it helps me so much.  And I hope I can help all of you out especially for [dare I say it] back to school ;]
 
4. Read 2-3 novels
I don't read enough, let's face it. I don't have time.  But one of my goals this summer is to definitely at least read 2 or 3 books.. let me know if you have any suggestions ;]
 
5. Be more creative
I want to do another fun project like I did at the Pottery Place :] There are many paintings or pottery pieces that are out there, and I plan to make at least one of them this summer!! I know I already showed this on my blog, but I am too proud not to show it again ;] here is my first piece of pottery.. and many more to come!

6. R-e-l-a-x and enjoy myself.
This will be the most difficult task of all.. because I certainly have not done this in many summers.  I am going to try and make time for myself and do things for me... money is important and we need it to live and eat, but I also need to remember to relax and do something for me once in a while. It doesn't have to be work, work, work... I am 27 years old and I need to remember to live my life and not work 12 hour days, 7 days a week.
Me and my Zoey

I hope you all can link up.. I can't wait to read your summer bucket list! XOXO

My TPT Finds and Friends

Hello all! :) I am linking up wtih Tales from Room 112, the wonderful Erin and her linky party!! I always love this time of year (and back to school) when TPT has their huge sales where (I hope) all of my teacher friends are VERY successful!  This year, I don't have much money so I only made a few purchases...
 
My favorite is Rachel Lynette.  How wonderful is she?  One of the TOP sellers, I could not help but buy her task cards to help my students in my classroom.  I am very excited to use these!!
 Even though my budget is tight, I want to direct you to my favorite sellers and some of them happen to be my very best blogging buddies...

Please click on each picture to visit their TPT store and enjoy their wonderful sales!!!
 
Nicole Shelby... AMAZING! I would buy her whole store if I could!
 
Rachelle Smith is like a celebrity to me.. her products are PERFECT!!
 
 
Sara Ventrella... wonderful, talented lady, sweet as can be! (My BBFF!)
 
Hadar Moar... my extremely talented beautiful friend and has the most perfect primary products (a little alliteration right there!)
 
Where else would I get my graphics?! Michelle Tsivgadellis from the 3AM Teacher!!! Amazing clipart, especially for the holidays!!
 
I could probably go on and and on with my purchases. There are too many teachers/sellers to name that are just incredible and that I love.  One Extra Degree, Sunny Days in Second Grade, Jodi Southard, Amy Lemons, Ashleigh, and so many more... I wish I had time to write about all of them! :)
 
 
Don't forget to check out my own sale as well...
 
I was looking at all my products and I have THIRTY freebies featured!! Holy cow, that's a lot.. I will have to go through them all someday and tweek them to make them even better.  Someday when I actually get a free minute.
They include:

My Writing Posters
 
 
 
 
And so much more!!! Please check out my stores and become a follower and leave feedback... it means so much to me :) Every purchase counts in helping me succeed as a teacher and pay for all the "little things" (and of course big things like food and rent).  Thank you again!
