Valentine...Smalentine...LURVE Sale!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you all survived the children and the parties. If you did, then you definitely deserve a large box of chocolate and a foot rub. Anyone that has lived through pink and red and glitter and love and red Kool-Aid mustaches and sugar-induced craziness from small children should win a medal of honor. I'm just saying.

With that being said, I would like to share with you some of my favorite Valentine's I've seen today. I hope you enjoy...


Totally posted this on my husband's FB wall. That's true love, people! True love. 


Have you seen this video?! HA-larious!


Oh, Dwight. He is just so romantic. 


Funny Valentine's Day Ecard: I would even do the thing Meat Loaf wouldn't do for love for you.


 
And since it is this magical day of love mush, I leave you with some pictures of me and my little love muffin from our wedding day nearly 4 years ago...and in honor of this love muffin day, I am putting everything in my store 20% today off just for you, the ones that I love and adore for reading all of this nonsense that entertains my life rich, educational truth.





LOVES,

Monday Morning Magic...and a craft!

When I taught in KY, the greatest joy of my life on a Monday morning was a Snow Day. I mean, let's get real. I speak the truth.

Now that I live in Louisiana, it's like, "Wait...snow is real?"

My mama-love still teaches in Kentucky. She has stopped telling me about her snow days. Too much pouty-mc-pout-pout on the other end of the line. She just waits until the end of the day to tell me now. haha

So I don't want to rub this in too much but this week marks the beginning of Mardi Gras vacation...WHO KNEW?!

With that being said, I am still sitting in my bed, 3rd cup of coffee, and Pandora. Oh, and the blog. I love the blog.

So the next time you have a Snow Day, be sure to stop by and rub it in. It's ok. I can take it.

Moving on...

So, whether it's a Mardi Gras vacay day or a regular 'ol workin' day, this is what I MUST have to successfully start my week:


Here's the perfect way to create this Magical Brew...haha...GET IT?!?! {too much for a Monday morning?...yeah...I get it...}
1) I don't buy K-cups often. I am too cheap to do so. I just bought the little re-usable K-cup filter and use my own coffee. True story.
2) Add any  French Vanilla flavored coffee
3) *Swish* it...you know that noise of this magical machine, right?!?!
4) Add Southern Butter Pecan ID. No calories. None.
5) AND  to make it *extra* fat free, add a large dollop of your favorite Whipped Cream.
6) Stir.
7) Drink.
8) Experience the magic and entire's day intake of Weight Watcher's Points in this Monday Morning Magical Brew

Also, this past weekend, I bought a laminator.

Oh. Yes. I. Did.

I kept seeing all my little bloggy friends yakkin' about their laminators and naturally if they're doing it, so must I! {Peer pressure so does not only happen in middle school!}

So after I purchased this little jewel that is the Scotch laminator, of course I had to laminate everything. I started with my new pack "Some BUNNY please tell me..." {Author's Purpose & Point of View}...



My husband was like, "WHY are you taking pictures of it?!"

Seriously? Do I even entertain that question???

So, after I laminated and cut, I needed something else to laminate. Of  course.

My philosophy: Go big, or go home.

Since I was literally at home, it applies to laminating as well, in case you didn't know.

In nursery at church a few weeks ago, I had seen these cah-yute diaper bag tags that looked professionally done and yada yada...

But what did I say..."HEY! I can do that!"

And that's exactly what I did...




Are they not simply adorable?!?! I don't actually have any babies of my own {if you don't count the 39 at school...} so I made them for friends...

and what do we do when we make something???

We SHOW IT OFF!

And then....when that happens...

other people want some...

and that makes my crafty heart/soul/mind leap with joy at the thought of using the laminator again.

{Does this sound as crazy as I think it does?!}

Come on. I KNOW ya'll know what I mean...

So, I'm off to make more Diaper Bag tags because that's what I do. And I'm so ok with that!

Have a happy day...off to Monday Morning Magic cup #4.

LOVES!!

Until then,

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL...a GIVEAWAY...and a SALE?!?!

First, I must not lie. I don't like football. I'd rather go to the dentist than watch sports. I'd much rather grade papers than watch football. I'm not the *biggest* football fan that ever lived.  Sorry, but it's true.

Usually, when football is on, my ear buds are in and Law and Order: SVU or Downton Abbey is on my laptop. Really, dah-ling? What woman wouldn't trade Mr. Bates over a sweaty pile of stinky men?

Hey, honesty is the best policy.

{I'm having a hah-d time not typing/thinking the rest of this blawg post in my best Bri-ish accent...ah-rnt' you?}

Anywho, I do love a good sale!! So, if you love a sale, and Teachers Pay Teachers, then you should check out my store, along with hundreds of other sellers who are offering 28% off their entire store on Super Bowl Sunday only!!



Also
, the first person to correctly guess the only NFL home football game I've ever been to that my husband drug me to took me to, you will win my SPORTS Main Idea & Summary pack!


Simply,
1) Leave a comment with the name of the home NFL team that I went to their stadium to see the game.
2) Leave your e-mail address along with your guess!
3) HINT 1: They played against the Philadelphia Eagles (not that that gives much or any of a clue)
4) HINT 2: One of their team colors is blue.


Really, the game wasn't all that bad. We had a great time...and anywhere except Wal-Mart grocery shopping with my studly muffin husband is a wonderful time!!

Here's my football lovin' studly muffin husband and I having fun...see, I told you. Polka dots. Everywhere. All the time. 

GO TEAMS!

Until then,
