Five for Friday... AND You're invited to a party in which you could win it ALL!

Hi Sweet Friends!

I really wish the summer would just SLOW down!  I know I've said it already, but goodness time does fly!!  Our first day of school is August 13.  Anyone else begin a new school year around then?

I couldn't wait to link up with Doodle Bugs  for another  Five for Fraturday.  Sorry!  I'm a day late.

1.   My Classroom  Before/and a work in Progress photos

Every teacher in my building had to move classrooms over the summer.  Our 6th grade is moving out to the Middle School, SO we will have more room.  This is my NEW room.  Notice my stack of boxes along the window.     After 4 hours of hard work this past week....my room now looks like this

The boxes are all unpacked, my classroom library is put back together, and I was able to hang the curtains.  Progress!!  I have lots more to do.... but at least everything is now unpacked.  I am LOVING all the storage in my new classroom. 

2.  Classroom Decor

I decided not to change the color scheme and pattern of my classroom this year.  I've had the black and white polka dots with yellow accents for the last 2 years.  Maybe I'll change next year....  Here's the classroom pack I created:  "Classroom Decor:  At the Lemonade Stand- Chalkboard and Chevron Themed.

You can click the photo above or HERE to check this out at my TPT store.

I needed new paper lanterns, locker tags, and bulletin borders SO I ordered these from Teacher Created Resources.    Just click each photo below to be taken to the link on this product.

AND this I found on Amazon

3.  21 Day Fix

I've heard so many awesome things about this program, that I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm on day 5, and I LOVE it.   Summers get so busy that often I forget to eat, and then I'm starving and reach for food I shouldn't be eating.  Especially this summer... I had braces put on at the end of the school year and eating salads and etc has been quite an adjustment for me.

4.  Family Pics from the week....
This week has been packed with baseball, baseball, baseball, swim lessons and gymnastics.

 

This is my daughter's half smile after having to go to another one of her brother's baseball games.

5. You are INVITED!!!

I am hosting a Jamberry Mystery Hostess Party that begins on Wednesday, July 16 and ends Saturday evening, July 19.  If you love Jamberry, you must stop by and participate.  It's all ONLINE and you can drop by whenever and how often you want at this Fun Facebook Event.  There will be door prizes of Jamberry products and games each day of this event  AND the best thing is someone will be the Mystery Hostess.  This means that ONE of you will be selected to be the hostess at the end of the party and the hostess gets ALL of the hostess rewards and FREE stuff.  How awesome is that?!  I host the party and post games and give away door prizes and one lucky person gets the hostess rewards just for participating in the games, inviting friends to join, and SHOPPING.

I promise it will be fun, and I guarantee you will find some cute nail wraps or nail lacquer to wear for a Back to School Night or Meet the Teacher Night.

Ramblings from a Teacher on summer vacay AND a FREEBIE

Hey Sweet Friends!

Welcome to my Tuesday ramblings......

During the school year I NEVER seem to have time to simply browse, look, read blogs and etc. online.  I think I am FINALLY caught up this summer on all of this or so my hubs hopes as another package arrives at our doorstep.   Check out some of my favorite new things I have found this summer via online browsing.

1.  Luci Bags

Have you heard of these bags?  They are totally too adorable!  These AMAZING bags caught my teacher eye right away.  There are several different styles to choose from.  The bags have built in compartments to put photographs of your family, fur babies, vacation destinations, and etc.   My advice is to find someone who is selling them and order one right away!    I just ordered one to use for Jamberry, but I WANT another one to use as my "teacher bag".  Click HERE for a link to the Luci Bags if you want to take a peek at them for yourself.

Here's a sneak peak at my Luci Bag

2.  Fabletics

Okay.... I have to admit I thought this was too good to be true, but I tried them and LOVE them.  Fabletics is an online athletic wear company by Kate Hudson.  Fabletics is different from other athletic wear in that the entire ensemble is sold together.  You get the matching pants, shirt, and sports bra.   How does this work you ask??   Sign up at the link HERE.  You will be given an online survey to determine the kind of athletic wear that best fits your needs.  Then you will be given athletic outfits to choose from.  The first outfit ( 3 piece) is $25.00.   Then each month you will find customized outfits that have been selected for you to choose.  You can either "skip" this month or select an oufit and purchase it.    Here's the outfit I just received in the mail yesterday.  It's my July pick.  I LOVE the bright colors and how comfy it will be for my jog through the neighborhood.

3.  Jamberry

I LOVE to have pretty nails, but being a busy Mom who never seems to have time to fit in a salon manicure made pretty nails almost impossible.  I am TERRIBLE with polishing my nails.  I don't have the patience to sit long enough without doing too much for my polish to dry.  SO... I've become obsessed with Jamberry nail wraps.   I LOVE all the cute and stylish designs.  I have gotten so many compliments on my nails everywhere I go.... my kiddo's swim lessons, baseball games, gym, even at the grocery store.   

I love the nail wraps so much that I took the plunge and became a Jamberry Independent Consultant.  Look at all the FREE stuff I received from my first Facebook party.

In just the first month of joining Jamberry, I've had such a blast.  I had the opportunity to help my mother in law get ready for her 50th wedding anniversary.  She received so many compliments about her fingernails during the celebration that she's already chosen more Jamberry nail wraps to order.

I also just had the opportunity to host a mani/pedi party for the Moms of my son's baseball team.  It was such a fun girl night!  We applied baseball nail wraps to get ready to cheer on our favorite team for an upcoming baseball tournament.

If you haven't yet tried Jamberry, you must.  They last up to 2 weeks even through washing dishes, trips to the pool, and even the beach.  AND the best part, they are easy to apply and take about 20 minutes to complete a manicure.  Seriously!   

If you would like a FREE sample of Jamberry to try for yourself, click on the pic below.  Just fill out the google doc form, and I will send out a sample to you.   

Are you interested in earning FREE Jamberry items, I'd love to help you host a Facebook party.  It's  easy, peasy and lots of fun!  Click on the photo below or HERE to be taken to my link to sign up for a party.  I will get back with you on dates and times that fit your schedule.  This would be a great way to welcome your coworkers back to a new school year.  Everyone could be rocking out their new Jams!

AND if you are like me and love Jamberry and decided to be a consultant for the great discount and free stuff on Jamberry, I invite you to join my team.   It's been so much fun and the opportunities have been so amazing!  Just click HERE or on the photo below to join my team or find out more information about becoming a Jamberry Independent Consultant.  You would be getting in on a ground floor opportunity of a rapidly expanding company.

Here's just a few of my favorite jamicures I have done this summer.

AND for sticking with me through my ramblings on a Tuesday, I have a FREEBIE for you.  You can snag my " The Notebook" Classroom Behavior Management Printables for FREE by clicking HERE or on the photo below.

Enjoy your day!   I get to go into my classroom and work today.  Yipee!  We all had to move classrooms and pack up everything at the end of the school year.  Today is the first day I get to go in my  new classroom and begin getting it ready.

Try It Tuesday

I am in LOVE.... with Jamberry nail wraps that is.

Have you seen these?   Seriously... these are the best invention for busy Moms like me.

If you've never heard of Jamberry wraps you may be wondering what in the world I am talking about.  Do you love the Pinterest inspired designs on nails?  OR are you like me and smudge your polish as soon as you apply it? Then you have to give Jamberry wraps a try.  You won't be disappointed.  

How do you apply Jamberry you ask?

It's easy.  First you must prep your nails by removing any old nail polish, pushing back your cuticles, and taking any oils off your nail using an alcohol wipe.  Then you will simply need a blow dryer to apply heat to the nail wrap and apply to your finger.  Here's a video below on the application.  It takes me only 15-20 minutes to complete a Jamberry manicure.  Click HERE or on the PHOTO below to view the video.

Super easy!   I am so thankful that Christi Fultz introduced to these wraps back in the Fall.  I have received so many compliments on my nails just from simply signing a receipt.  Jamberry nail wraps last up 2 weeks on your fingers and 6 weeks on your toes.  I recently wore my Jamberry nail wraps to Clearwater Beach Florida and even with the salt water and sand, they remained on my toes.  I was impressed!  Normally my polish comes right off my toes when I go to the beach.

It's TRY IT TUESDAY, and if you would like to give Jamberry nail wraps a try, please click on the link to the google form HERE.  I will be happy to send you a free sample.

 AND if you have already tried Jamberry nail wraps and are in love with them like me, you probably already have a dozen or more designs on your wish list.  There is a way that you can get several of those designs on your wish list for FREE.   Just host a party.

You can hold a FACEBOOK Party.  It's easy.  All you have to do is come up with a guest list.  I will create a private Facebook Group for the party.  I will also come up with the games and information to post to the party.  You just need to pop in and join the party throughout the week by commenting and interacting with the guests.  It's that EASY.  

Here are just a few things you could earn by hosting a party.

If you are interested, please contact me at any of the following places listed below.  I'd be happy to set up a party for you.  They are lots of fun!  I still have some openings left for June and July.
