lucky #7
i'm not sure how it happened, however my little jack turned 7 this month. 7. it just sounds old! he is still super cute, just a little cooler. he is kind and friendly and smart. i could not be more proud to be his mom. i just still can't believe he's 7!!!
he was crazy over the olympics this summer. as he watched the swimmers with amazement we reminded him that four years ago we pulled his little three year old self out of bed to watch michael phelps swim :) he wanted an olympic themed party at the local roller skating rink. so- that's exactly what we did! here is a little peek into his party:
the cupcake toppers were free printables from mirabelle designs. super cute! i just mounted them on colored circles.
jack wanted his guests to get gold medals for all of their hard work!
jack even has a REAL london olympic shirt from jasmine and dr. dan! he was pretty proud of that too!
even little sister loved skating.
happy birthday jack b. xo

the new room!
SO??!!?? what do you think? here are the after shots of my new preschool classroom! i decided on a super hero theme......which is working out perfectly- since the class is made up of 14 boys (yes, you read that correctly) and 3 little girls.
this city is what my little super heroes pass each morning to enter our room. miss jenny was SO kind and creative to make this. i L.O.V.E. it!!
this face right here is the BEST thing about my new job. i get to spend four days a week teaching this handsome boy. it's so great seeing him with his buddies. some days he needs an extra hug- you know it can be hard sharing your mama with everyone......but he's doing great! i have a wonderful assistant who takes good care of mr. will. i am still adjusting to this thing called a j-o-b! it's been seven years since i last taught. but like i said before- those 14 boys are not taking it easy on me :) i've had to jump right in!

a new job
(ok, so i wrote this post a few weeks ago.....but here it is!)
i realize my posts have been very slim this summer. while we were on our wonderful beach vacation the possibility of another job was in consideration. after much thought and prayer i decided i would interview for a pre-k teaching position. after several interviews i was offered the job and have accepted it! i am so looking forward to this new chapter in our lives. it's only part-time so i will still be able to spend lots and lots of time with my little ones. i actually get to spend the entire day with my middle one- he's in my class:)
my new challenge: turn this room into a wonderful space!
i have seen this room in it's prime- full of love, artwork and giggling children. classrooms always look sad in the summer:) it's my goal to bring these walls back to life. i've been working hard- with the help of some friends of course! these are the before pictures.....i'm hoping the "after" shots will come next week!!
as for my sweet etsy shop- i believe it's the right decision to keep it closed for now. i can't balance both jobs with enough time for my children. i plan to continue writing blog posts- hopefully with tips for preschoolers!
