💜💜 This kid. She's ALL the happiness in a te 💜💜 This kid. She's ALL the happiness in a teeny, tiny body. She's all the personality that fills her genes. She has me laughing to tears on even the worst of days. She is my medicine during all this 2020+ craziness. And, she's pretty damn cute, too! She calls, FaceTimes, and texts (pictures, songs, strings of letters, and emojis) me several times a day, every day. On her own. (especially if Momma is too busy to notice her phone has been hijacked). I LOVE it! In just 3 short months, she'll be two years old and almost a big sister! How did she become a big girl so fast? #Grandmalife is absolutely amazing in every way. 💜💜

When the day of distance teaching leads to a wine When the day of distance teaching leads to a wine tasting of all the wines in the house... you use purple post it notes for labeling and whatever glass is closest. No time for patience or wine glasses. Also, I don’t even really like wine, but tequila seemed ill-advised on a Tuesday. For those inquiry minds - Roth- Alexander Valley won. It will be gone tonight. 2nd place Robert Modavi may not survive the night either. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Can we wake up from this nightmare yet? So exhausted. Nothing left in the tank. How are YOU doing? Did anyone tell you today how much you are appreciated? You are! You also can only do what you can do. I say this for myself more than anything hoping it will seep in! My AP and I were talking today about how this madness compares to the movie Groundhog Day. A crazy, never ending loop of madness! Just when you think another wrench couldn’t be thrown into the mix.... here comes another hammer .... or 12. We can do hard things. We can do hard things. We can do hard things! #teacherlife #teacherproblems #distancelearning #iteachtoo #teachersfollowingteachers #teachersofinstagram #teacherspayteachers #distanceteaching
Bookmark made easy. We are doing our math journal Bookmark made easy. We are doing our math journals from No Fuss Interactive Math - even at a distance! Taught the little peeps my old high school and college tip from way back in the 1900s. 😉 Completely fill both sides of the notebook page and you can cut the corner. That way, you can quickly find the next blank page for next time. Working hard to keep this distance learning as much like classroom learning as possible. Using all the time savers we can!! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-No-Prep-Interactive-Notebook-and-MORE-1st-Grade-BUNDLE-2746206
Words cannot describe all the emotions. Celebratin Words cannot describe all the emotions. Celebrating my baby girl’s birthday with her dream wedding has given me all the “feels”. It was absolutely gorgeous and matched the “vision” precisely! It was magical in every way! It couldn’t have been more perfect. A stunning bride and a dashing son-in-law. My heart is so full. This sneak peak from Tarynne, the most incredible photographer, has me beyond excited to see the rest! 📸@everglow.photo 💐@ks_floral_concepts 💄@kndemonte 💁🏼‍♀️ @hairbyrachaelnicole 🌿 @lunabellaranch #KirstenGotKoryedAway

Hi! I’m Traci and I’m super glad you’re here. I’m passionate about sharing all the *wisdom* gained over my many years of teaching. I love helping teachers find their joy, develop efficiency and ignite their own teaching strengths. I believe simplicity and fun coupled with effective strategies and engaging and focused lessons are the key to it all. Also… laughter can carry you through just about all things.
