Happy Friday! Happy first Friday of 2025! I hope the year is treating you well and you’ve had a great week. I have and I have some favorites to share with you so let’s get to it!
Favorite 1: FAMILY!! We’ve had a lot of family time this week and it was great! We saw my parents on Saturday. We played games, watched movies and sports, and ate so many meals together! It was so wonderful. Some years we are all ready to go back to school, but this year we were enjoying our time together!
Favorite 2: OLIVE & JUNE!! I am an Olive & June regular nail polish devotee. I love the colors (Pink Sands is my favorite!) and the top coat. It just lasts! I got the gel kit for Christmas and tried it for the first time last night. It took me a little while, but I think I did a pretty good job! I am excited that they have a peel off basecoat and I won’t have to soak my nails in acetone to get it off.
Favorite 3: THE CROWN!! I loved the first four seasons of The Crown and am finally getting around to starting season five. I hopped on my treadmill for a walk last night and I love to watch Netflix shows on the treadmill. The Crown was great and I kept watching while I did my nails!
Favorite 4: BOOKS! I have been reading a lot and I just love reading. Over break, I woke up and read for almost an hour every morning. It was such a lovely way to start the day. When we started back to school yesterday, I read three great books with my classes. I also love sharing books with others, especially fun read alouds with kids.
Favorite 5: 3D PRINTER!! Luke and I spent a bunch of time on Wednesday trying to figure out how to make a bunch of different things on the printer. We were close, but not quite there. Jeff figured it out on Thursday and Luke has been printing up a storm, or a fleet I guess.
Favorite 6: NEW YEAR!! I love the beginning of a new year! Even though I get tired, I like to stay up until midnight to usher in the next year. It’s a fresh start and I love to think about all that could happen in the new year. As a teacher, the beginning of the school year is a fresh start. It’s great to have two opportunities for new beginnings (beginning of school and January 1) and then the start of summer which is always full of good stuff!
Hello Monday with a new graphic
Reading Update
Thursday Thoughts
They keep upping the snow forecast for today in our area and I think there is a chance for an early dismissal. They are always so fun and full of excitement. There’s a chance we might get a snow day on Monday, too. While I love the summer weather best, this winter weather is keeping things interesting. I am looking forward to this weekend. I have some plans with friends and am hoping the snow won’t ruin anything! Have a great day full of sunshine and books!
