BLOGGING BUDDIES ARE THE BEST!

Laugh.

Eat.

Learn.



These three "action words" bring joy to our lives and make each day a whole lot better!  They also make the perfect title for my friend Alexis' blog, which I am featuring here today as she celebrates her 1st blogiversary!






She and I "met" as SLANT BOX buddies in May and have been 
long-distance friends ever since!



LESSONS WITH COFFEE SLANT BOX EXCHANGE



Creating a box full of colorful and personalized goodies for Alexis from  
C. Jayne Teach this spring was great fun, and I continue to follow her store, exchange e-mails with her, pin her great classroom ideas, and read her recipes (even though I am really "challenged" in the culinary arts)!

9 p.m. (Ohio time) tonight to receive a $30 blog design package from....







Courtney recently designed this classroom blog that I will use to communicate with parents and post student work when the new school year begins!  Didn't she just do a SUPER job!?!?  I am still doing a big old "happy dance" about the western theme and color scheme!! 







You can take a peek at some more of her work samples on her website {HERE}What will impress you most is that she is only 18!   She is the daughter of Shannon, a teacher-author friend of mine, and oh so talented!  She is also very patient with persnickety and slightly absent-minded teacher-authors like me!

As always, thanks for stopping by and helping me "pay it forward!" May you  find that peaceful , easy feeling that comes from doing things that make your heart happy!

  7. I love the writing for the Holidays because I think it's so important to add kindness and thinking of others during our hectic Christmas celebrations. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/LIGHT-UP-THE-HOLIDAYS-WRITING-PROMPTS-TO-PROMOTE-CLASSROOM-KINDNESS-1011866 I love writing and combining writing with something to help them build character and think on a deeper level.
