My Current Obsessions
At the end of the year I love to share my favorite things from the previous year as ideas for potential teacher gifts, the only problem with that is that a year is a long time and I have a hard time remembering all of the things that I love. I thought I’d share just a few of the things that I am currently obsessed with so that you could get hooked too! (All links are affiliates) It’s common knowledge that I have an deep love for Papermate Flair pens, but now I’m adding these Papermate InkJoy pens to my collection.

Under the weather
I’m pretty sure that it is the weather this week, but I have been in a nasty funk. This never-ending migraine and consuming desire to crawl back in bed have really put a damper on my holiday-loving attitude. When I’m not feeling well (but not quite sick enough to stay home), I’ve found that it generally best to let my students in on the fact that I’m a little under the weather. Preschoolers are just beginning to understand empathy – there are plenty of adult issues that they just can’t comprehend, but they know how awful if is to feel sick. When my students know that I’m a little under…

Strategies for getting excited about work again
I love my job. I tell people this all the time because it really is the truth – but that doesn’t mean that I always want to be at work. There are definitely days when I’m irritated, days when I would love to stay in bed and hibernate, and days when I feel completely unproductive. This is normal, we all feel this way occasionally, but if you’re like me you can’t always take a vacation just because you want one. When I’m feeling like I need some new energy, when I really need to re-focus and find that excitement again, there are a couple of strategies that always work for…

Back to reality
I took a little break here for a couple of weeks – it was much needed, even if I didn’t actually slow down. I don’t spend a ton of time talking about my personal life her, but I thought I would jump back in by showing you what I’ve been up to. First and foremost, I spent some serious time taking care of myself. Here are three things that I swear by when it comes to self-care: It’s amazing what a great manicure can do for your self-confidence. My all time favorite polish is Essie’s Treat Love Color collection. (Affiliate link) Yoga always helps me de-stress, I started this 30…

July Currently
This month crept up on me, I was fully prepared for the 4th of July and completely forgot about the Currently! Better late than never right? Listening: I’m watching 27 Dresses right now. Last night I had the house to myself and couldn’t for the life of me find a cheesy chick flick on TV, so I ended up watching bridesmaids – I know, I know, everyone loves that movie, but its not my favorite. The whole thing is just really uncomfortable and gross. But tonight I found 27 Dresses – just my kind of romantic comedy, and my husband keeps asking if he can change the channel… Loving: This…

Taking a break!
I love my work, but today I am enjoying life and the next two days of celebrating my favorite holiday. Since it’s Thursday I thought I’d share a couple of #throwbackthursday photos with you. These were taken four years ago while watching fireworks with my favorite people – my sister and my husband.
