I miss this little monkey and her momma SOOOOOOO much. They are super sick and not being able to help and see them is killing me! I am beyond appreciative to @dianebartoo Photography for sending us this sneak peak of Koraline's 10 mo. photo shoot they did in their amazing outdoor studio so I can get another cuteness fix! That little smirk! AHHHH!

This workday has been long and still hours to go..

This workday has been long and still hours to go.... but taking a cuteness break. And breaking the "limited digital footprint" rule her momma understandably set forth.
She is the best bundle of joy!

I have spent the better part of forever searching

I have spent the better part of forever searching for a good white pen. I have tried them all. I finally found it! When working on samples under the document camera for the little peeps, pencil and dark ink don’t always show up well on colored paper. @uniballco ‘s white gel pen to the rescue!

You guys! I use this pen constantly! On all the things! It’s the best!
If you’ve been searching for a smooth, vibrant strong white ink pen, look no further!! I linked it on my Amazon page: https://amzn.to/338NZOX

This plant activity is part of the Sunny Sunflowers Plant Science unit in my store.

Our 💯Day is this week. AND it falls on a minimu

Our 💯Day is this week. AND it falls on a minimum day. AND I have an IEP scheduled for basically the whole day-so I won't be with my kiddos. AND I really like these kind of things to be easy-peasy. So I decided I need to change things and simplify my life.⁣

I just sent these FREEBIES to my email followers.⁣
