Tell Me Something Good

It's almost Friday! Very much looking forward to Friday and a three-day weekend! Wahoo! I'm joining up with Rowdy in First Grade's Tell Me Something Good Linky. 

Something Good From School: I only have two students left to finish up DIBELS testing with and I'm pretty impressed with the little nuggets' progress! The middle of the year testing is always the one that makes me the most nervous. Don't get me wrong, I see the progress the students make every day. When the student who only was able to read 10 words at the beginning of the year stood up in front of the class and read his journal entry flawlessly it just about brought tears to my eyes. But seeing the numbers in print just makes it that much more fantastic to know you're getting somewhere. They're getting somewhere. 

Something Good From Home: This little man came home and I am absolutely over the moon in love with him. His name is Dakota and he's an 8-week old golden retriever. Here he is on his first day home:

He is pretty mellow and is sleeping through the night. I had to wake HIM up this morning. Ridiculousness. He makes me worry and laugh. He tests my patience and is by far the greatest snuggler in the world. He's pretty much the best thing ever. Love that little guy. 

Make sure to link up with Rowdy in First Grade and tell me something good! 

Thank You!

Just stopping in to say a quick thank you to my followers. I can't believe I am close to 100! That is pure craziness to me. 

It seems the thing to do when someone reaches 100 followers is to have a giveaway. I thought I'd put it out there and see if anyone was interested in helping me out by donating an item from their TPT store to pair with mine for my 100 follower giveaway. If you're feeling generous, please drop me an email! I super duper appreciate it! 

Thankful Thursday #2

Today I'm thankful for having a warm, cozy house complete with fuzzy blankets and a heater. It is cold outside y'all! I'm super thankful to have these luxuries and try my best not to take them for granted. 

And for my silly thankful Thursday items...

I'm thankful for these fun red slipper boots from Old Navy that are keeping my toesies nice and warm. I kind of love the white ones too...hmmm...

And yumtastic hot chocolate!

Thankful Thursday #1

It's November?!?! How in the world did that happen? This school year is flying by and we're just getting started on my favorite time of year. I love the holidays and all of the family time. In the spirit of the month of November, I thought I'd do a Thankful Thursday post and give a little shout out to the things I am thankful for today, no matter how big or small. 

Today I am thankful for coworkers who keep me laughing. Sometimes they say exactly what I'm thinking and it reminds me I'm not in this alone. Sometimes they find sunshine in things I only saw rain in and it reminds me to see the light.

I'm thankful for the health of my family. My grandma has been in the hospital this past week and it's a quick reminder of how fragile life is and how we should cherish each moment we have with one another.

Finally, I'm thankful for Mr. Sketch smelly markers. Yeah, I said it. They're fantastic. Well, most of them. I could totes do without the black licorice scent. 

What are you thankful for?
