[Versatile Blogger Award]

A big thanks to

Deanne at First Grade and Fabulous,

Amanda at The Kindergarten Chick,

Miss Foote at Chickadee Jubilee (LOVE that blog name!),
and Mrs. Smyth at New Adventures in First Grade

for awarding me the Versatile Blogger Award!

The rules of this award are as follows:

Thank the person that nominated you with a link back to them (see above).

Tell 7 things about yourself.

1. I cried when I was told I had to move to First Grade (13 years ago). 

2. I have more flannel pj pants than actual pants.

3. I love to cook.  But my family eats out a lot.  Because I'm lazy.

4. I have 1 full time job (teaching), 1 part time job (teaching piano), and 1 hobby job (photography).  Maybe that's why we eat out a lot. . .

5. I knew in 2nd grade that I wanted to be a teacher because I had THE BEST teacher ever!  Mrs. Yamada will always be my role model!

6. At home date nights are my favorite!  Popcorn, movie, pj pants, and a foot rub - OR - if it's family date night. . .popcorn, treats, and games!

7. I am a night owl.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE to stay up late!  But. . .my middle schooler catches the bus super early, so I've had to (try to) train myself to go to bed at a decent hour so I can get up and be a good mom in the early morning!
