Currently April or April Fools?

Well it is still technically March but I  am so excited to be linking up with Farley for April's Currently!  Love these!

Listening:  Do you watch Red Widow?  It has only been on for a month or two but I'm enjoying it so far.  I like that the female lead is a butt whooping chick!

Loving:  I have wanted a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait for quite a while (and I think I've written that on several Currently's) but I just couldn't bare to splurge on myself!  Well I don't have to now because I won a Portrait from The Idea Room (thanks Amy)!

Thinking:  I LOVE holidays and spending time with family however, my fiance and I always host these gatherings at our house (because we have the most room) which means shopping, cooking and cleaning!  It's exhausting!

Wanting:  This winter has seemed exceptionally cold and I am so anxious for warmer weather!  I'm very jealous of all of you who live where it's warm (including my snowbird parents)!

Needing:  In New Hampshire we have three week long breaks over the course of the school year.  The first is for Christmas, then we have a week off at the end of February and finally a week off at the end of April.  I have so many plans for this upcoming break (painting my front hall and one of our bathrooms is at the top of the list).  The best part of break is that when we return the rest of the year seems to fly by!  This year we're not getting out until  June 24 because we had six snow days!  Yikes!

Advice:  Yes I really think I'm the one who needs the advice!  I don't blog nearly as often as most bloggers (how some of you manage to blog everyday astounds me...you are amazing).  I still haven't taken the plunge to share some of my creations on Tpt or Teachers Notebook yet.  I'm just not sure if anyone would find them useful because I'm a special education teacher and not a classroom teacher. Maybe one of these days!  I do believe that you should share what is in your heart and continue to try, whether that is blogging, creating for your store or teaching in general!

Let's Get Acquainted Linky

I love linky parties so when I saw Latoya's new linky party on her blog I just had to join in!  This week's linky is to share 3 things about yourself beginning with your initials.  My initials are KJW so this should be frustrating err I mean interesting!
1.  K - This letter is tough!  I'm going to say that I am kind.  One of my favorite quotes of all time is:

I tell my students this all the time!  I truly think it's the most important character trait to have!
2.  J - is for junkie! NO not THAT kind of junkie!  I'm a blogging, Pinterest, clip art, book, shoe, and shopping-for-anything kind of junkie!  I can't get enough of any of those things!  Ha!  Now don't you feel kind of bad that you thought I had some other kind of problem?  {Teehee}
3.  W- is for wedding!  My fiance and I are having quite the time deciding on what we want for our wedding!  We can't decide if we want a huge shindig or just a small intimate wedding and so we keep procrastinating!  It's driving our family and friends crazy!  Oh and I think I'm pretty witty at times too (or is that sarcastic).
Okay that was fun but way harder than I thought it would be....I need better initials!

Head over to Latoya's blog and join in the fun!

I'm sure you've heard of Groupon and Living Social along with countless other daily deal sites (yes I'm an addict to Sassy Steals, Groupdealz, PinkEpromise, Decor Steals and countless others) but there is a new daily deal site just for teachers that begins April 2!  It's called Educents and you can save from 30-90% off educational items!  The best part is if you sign up now you will receive a $15.00 gift certificate to use towards a future purchase!  Just click on the picture below to sign up!

{Disclaimer:  I will receive $1.00 for everyone who signs up using the link above.}

March Currently

It's March!  This year is seriously flying by!  I'm linking up with Farley for another fun Currently!

Listening:  Do you watch "The Following?"  It's action packed and a little on the gruesome side but I really like it!  Is it just me or has Kevin Bacon seriously not aged one bit?
Loving:  I love, love, love my new refrigerator!  Our previous fridge was ridiculously small for a four person family...you couldn't even fit a frozen pizza in the freezer!

Thinking:  So I've been thinking about opening up a TpT store and/or TN to share some of my creations that I use with my students.  Should I do it?  Is it better to use your blog name or your real name as your store name?  Any advice?  Here's a peek at what we've been working on lately:

Wanting:  I have wanted a Silhouette and an DSLR for a while and just can't decide if I should spend the money.  
Needing:  Last week was our winter break and it flew by!  I truly need another week off....guess I have to wait another 8 weeks for our Spring break!
Like:  Yes I really like ketchup!  I REALLY loved it as a kid and would eat it with just bread.  Gross I know!
Love:  Yes I love kittens....really just about every animal but especially dogs and cats!
Hate:  I couldn't think of anything that starts with a "K" except kneeling because it hurts after a bit!
