Back To School!!!


Greetings friends! That's me above with Pointy Jr. getting ready to hit the streets of NYC for some sightseeing, lol. Brace yourself...this is a longggg post! 

Are you knee deep in sheep like me? I am working on getting my classroom together, making lists and checking them twice. I would say that the summer has flown by but I think with all this traveling I feel like I have spent my time really living it up. No regrets here! And, for the first time ever, I lost 11 pounds instead of gaining to usual 10, lol. I am pretty tired though and ready for things to get back to normal. To be honest, I am freaking out when I look at my family schedule for this semester. My son will be playing 7th grade football on Thursday. My daughter will be entering High School this year (I want to throw up thinking about that, lol) and will be dancing in the color guard during Friday night football games. Throw in Life Group for church, practices, oh yeah and food..I think these people will want to eat every day..oh it’s going to be fun times people! You just wait for the hot mess that will be exploding soon on a Kreative in Kinder blog near you! Haha!

Just like you, I am getting ready for my sweet kinders to start school soon. I am excited that TPT and TN will be throwing huge sales in a few days to help me (and you) get prepared. Since some of you may be new to this here blog thing, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite products from of my store and some of the items I have on my wish list to purchase for the big sale. If you follow me on facebook then you know I have over 30 items on my wish listobsessive much, um yeah! I am limiting myself to $100. Too high? Too low? OMG, there is so much I want and I just don’t have time to create so many goodies. J
Did you know I have made over 15 classroom sets this summer, shut up! I know right..cuh-ray-z! In case you are looking for classroom décor sets, make sure you check them out. Here are a few examples. J

Now, here are a few of the items in my wish list created by very cool teachers that I adore! J Just click on the picture to take you to these great products. Again, these aren't mine, just ones I hope to use in my room this year. 


So that is it in a nut shell. I am off to celebrate hubs birthday. We are going to see George Lopez in Houston. I am so excited. My birthday is in two weeks so we usually do something to celebrate both together. I will be celebrating my second annual 30th birthday, ehem. Now for those of you doing the math, remember we adopted our kids so no glaring looks through that computer! When I think I am about to have a 16 year old I feel more like 50, lol. J Ohhhh, it’s always good times at our house. We put the FUN in dysFUNctional!

Anywho, I hope you are having a great time getting ready for school to start. Don’t stress too much. Remember that no matter what you do, you will always be a hero to your students. Perfection is not attainable but no one can be a better you.
I’ll be back in a few days with new classroom pictures and sharing some of the ways I get through the first week of schoolno, it’s not a flask in my drawer. J  Good stuff to come friends. I am SO EXCITED about this school year. Get excited people. This is what we are made for. Happy shopping and let me know what ya get and don’t forget to rate and leave comments. Teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers and Teachers Notebook appreciate it sooo much!!! Love and virtual hugs!!

Peace out! J
