Meet the Teacher Linky! :)

Today I am linking up (FINALLY) with Stephanie over at Falling into First for her AWESOME linky!!!


Here's a little about me:
I am a North Carolinian by way of Michigan.  I moved here for a teaching job (and let's not lie...warmer weather. :))  My husband is ALSO a teacher!  We actually met when we taught together!  We have a one year old miracle baby that tomorrow celebrates ONE YEAR of being home with us from his 98 day NICU stay after being born at 25 weeks.  
When you see him now-you would NEVER know he was a little 1 pound 9 inch baby! :)  We are VERY blessed.

I have taught elementary school for 10 years...grades 2-5.  This year I wanted to try something I ALWAYS wanted to do:  Middle School!  So, I will be teaching math and science to 6th graders starting August 25th! 

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...
sharpies, nature, baby snuggles, kayaking, blogging, creating, eating at different types of restaurants, travel, The Walking Dead, spending time with family & friends, shopping, Michigan, OBX, camping

 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
I would love to do something that involved travel and FOOD. :)  You know, like one of those people of the Food Network that get to go to ALL of these cool places, check out different restaurants, and eat YUMMY food!  


THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.
creative, cheerful, enthusiastic
 
FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

Can I PLEASE sit through another meeting?
 

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?
I LOVE Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon.  I would love to have them both...now THAT would be fun!!! 

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?
Take Risks-It's About the Journey

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?
 I would also have to pick teleportation because sometimes it just plain STINKS to be a days travel away from family.  If I could teleport I could go home whenever I wanted. :)

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" 

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 
Honestly, it would not be anything!  I CANNOT sing!  I would be one of those people that they make fun of on the outtakes...so really I could just about sing anything.
 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

I am DEFINITELY more of a morning person!  I love my quiet time before baby B gets up to just relax, drink coffee, create, or blog.

 
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?
I LOVE my math strategies posters!!  From the style of the posters to the way that I printed and mounted them...L-O-V-E it!

Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 
I ran a WHOLE marathon a few years ago (you wouldn't know that looking at me now, though!  lol).  My goal was under 5 hours, and I finished in 4 hours and 56 minutes.  ha ha.  Definitely one of my BEST accomplishments!!!!

  1. What a special anniversary you guys are celebrating this weekend! Yay! :) :) :) When you have Ellen and Jimmy Fallon over for dinner, can I come too? I can only imagine how much laughing would go on at that table. Where in North Carolina are you? I am in the Tidewater area of Virginia and only about an hour from the NC border. I'm thinking we aren't that far apart. :)
    Have a great weekend!

  2. Lori....nice to meet you! I found your blog via Falling Into First's linky party! :) I had a hard time deciding who I would invite to dinner....but Ellen and Jimmy would be awesome! You probably wouldn't have any time to eat because you would be laughing so hard! I hope you enjoy your year at middle school!!!
