Hi friends!
Sorry I've been MIA in blogland lately.
I spent most of last week in my classroom, working like a maniac. And when I got home it was full on "mommy mode". So my blogging has taken a back-seat. But I hope to get some posts set up in advance to post this week! Thanks for understanding!
Anyway.
Since I was working in my room so much, I wasn't doing a whole of making things.
Here are a few things I've been up to though!
(1)
Like so many of you in blog-land, I made these cute little birthday gifts for my future students. I got the straws from Walmart and the printable from here. Thanks to Once Upon a First Grade Adventure for making these!
(2)
I also made a little prayer ring to keep in my desk at school. I know sometimes I get anxious, overwhelmed, and frustrated and I think being able to pull this out will really be helpful. Do you have any favorite verses of prayers I should add?

Much of my weekend was working on this! I am going from 3 file cabinets at my old school to 1 in my new. So I've had to go through files and put them into sheet protectors in binders. Phew. Its been a little $ and time consuming, but I hope it will keep me organized and able to find what I need without digging through boxes. (PS- These pictured are just for math and writing. Phew) (PPS- I still need to print notebook covers and spine inserts but my printer is acting weird right now!)
I can't wait to check out the link up and see what you all have been making this week!
Hi Mandy,
ReplyDeleteI have truly enjoyed reading your blog. Your Bible verse idea touched my heart! I never thought of that, but it is something so simple, yet so meaningful when days get the best of us.
I tend to be a HUGE worrier, so when I worry, I read Mathew 6:25.

Love the prayer cards! I need to make something like that & keep it by my side, too.
ReplyDeleteYou make me so proud. You make me so happy. You are a lovely woman, a great mom, a superb teacher, a wonderful wife, and a darling daughter!!! I love thevprayer ring! In times of anxiety, also read Philippians 4:6&7.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through bloglovin and I love it! I sure like your idea of a ring of quick prayer verses! I am so going to create this for me! I have been taking prayer walks during lunch to refocus and be more at peace. I tend to be a workaholic and I get stressed over the workload- I think this will help me! Thanks for sharing!
