Or "How I Replaced The Classroom Treasure Chest FOREVER!"<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Happy almost-August folks! I have NO IDEA how we got here so fast, but HERE. WE. ARE.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">It's hard to believe that it was almost a year ago that I made a decision to switch schools AND grade levels. Crazy, right? </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Oh . . . and did I mention that this decision happened a week before the first day of school??!! As in, my kindergarten room was pretty much set up and ready to go, I was pumped to be starting my 9th year in kindergarten and have some pretty sweet returning families . . . and then IT happened.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">I had an opportunity to teach with my teaching bestie Kerri B. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Ever since I was pink slipped during budget layoffs years ago and we ended up at different school we ALWAYS said how fun/great/wonderful/fabulous/cool it would be if we could ever teach together again . . .</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Well, God's timing sure is funny sometimes!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Anyhow . . . if you had NO IDEA that I was in first grade last year that would be because: 1) I fell off the blogging bandwagon, 2) I hardly had time to take a picture of what we were up to AND 3) I had no idea what I was doing most of the time . . . Okay, maybe just SOME of the time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Luckily, there were some things that I was able to bring over from kindergarten that I easily used with my FAB FIRSTIES. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">One of those was my classroom reward binder!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Once upon a time I did have a treasure chest, and spent lots of time and money making sure that it was well-stocked with lots of fun trinkets, that there were plenty of choices of things for both boys and girls . . . blah, blah, blah. Then I heard about having a classroom reward binder with things for my kiddos to choose as a prize that were FREE and I. WAS. SOLD.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">I had a binder for many years, but last summer I gave it a lil makeover . . . and I hafta say that it is pretty darn cute. Amiright?</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">If you aren't familiar with the way a classroom reward binder works, it is SO EASY. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">First, you decide what rewards you would like your class to choose from. I made 24 different reward choices, but I did not actually put all of those choices in my binder. I wanted to start the year off with a few choices, and then add some more and keep changing the choices up so that my students would stay excited to pick from the binder.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">{Disclaimer: There are SOME rewards in the binder that are ALWAYS a choice that my kiddos just loooooooove and they would be crushed if those choices were taken out . . . choices like Stinky Feet, Thump Bump and Fluffy Friend.}</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Next, you need to create your binder. I printed out the reward choices full-size and put them in page protectors in our classroom reward binder. Anytime a student earns a reward, they know where the binder is and they can flip through and peruse the choices. :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJgRBW77WcjUwCBb4sAMmEJ8CNkuefjsXsc060eoUP7GXXLecTg8fBXKPlYa3z9Xy0H3cDYtkEVwEWIJjTemoCNTD3Yigg2H3E8mdsC9IEAthzO4ypGPR51lIOytVrlTTNq5Dd1mDwCuuZ/s1600/_MG_6252.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJgRBW77WcjUwCBb4sAMmEJ8CNkuefjsXsc060eoUP7GXXLecTg8fBXKPlYa3z9Xy0H3cDYtkEVwEWIJjTemoCNTD3Yigg2H3E8mdsC9IEAthzO4ypGPR51lIOytVrlTTNq5Dd1mDwCuuZ/s640/_MG_6252.JPG" width="640" /></span></a><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">In the back of the binder I put in baseball card collector sheets. I found mine at a local sports memorabilia store and was able to buy them by the sheet. These are the perfect size to store the reward coupons in! When a student picks a reward, they take the corresponding coupon from the back of the binder. So easy and convenient! </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">The coupons serve as a reminder - students sometimes leave their coupon in their pencil box so they remember they have (fill in the blank prize) the next day OR some rewards need a take-home reminder . . . like if they chose Fluffy Friend and want to bring a favorite stuffed animal to school the next day. Their lil coupon that they take home will be a great reminder at home to pick their stuffed animal and pack it in their backpack.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVDfr6StitK8eZZkD2bB9INxjcX_TCCdwG3ElCHN8QXYGEQA6wsEmHUB58KMGCGoNMgcWlHfKVeHSxxFzJcFEBN6_qqUBvJELZj7uPmLqrz4CflMDDx-BJ5lLL67QOuw9-zUkNL6pVplJ/s1600/_MG_6251.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVDfr6StitK8eZZkD2bB9INxjcX_TCCdwG3ElCHN8QXYGEQA6wsEmHUB58KMGCGoNMgcWlHfKVeHSxxFzJcFEBN6_qqUBvJELZj7uPmLqrz4CflMDDx-BJ5lLL67QOuw9-zUkNL6pVplJ/s640/_MG_6251.JPG" width="426" /></span></a><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Finally, you need to have your classroom reward plan in place. My reward binder corresponds to my classroom behavior chart. Students who move their pin up get a sticker at the end of the day that they put into their work folder on a little chart. When a student gets 5 stickers, they get to pick a reward. After they get a reward, they have to work to get 5 more stickers, and so on. This part can totally be tailored to whatever works best for you and your students.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">The point is that rewarding your students can be much, much easier. And cost-effective. And fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Ready for a cute story?</span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;">Once I was gone for a teacher training and one of my <span style="font-size: small;">ittiest bittiest</span> kiddos went right up to the substitute teacher for that day and announced to him, "I have STINKY FEET!" Well, that sub was pretty confused and didn't know what to say, so he just tried to ignore the Itty Bitty. So she said it again . . . "No really, I have STINKY FEET today!" Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally, after some explaining from the other students (and a classroom aide who happened to be in the room), the sub realized that Itty Bitty was trying to tell him that she had a reward called Stinky Feet for the day - which basically meant she got to take her shoes off all day. :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Most of all, I love this sport and these gentlemen...<strike>their muscles are HUGE!</strike> I mean, they are AMAZING talented on those rings! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">What I DO NOT love, however, is when I go on the internet and Yahoo ruins it for me by announcing winners before I have actually watched the event. DANGIT!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">To celebrate the upcoming Summer Olympics in BRAZIL this summer, I have created my Summer Olympics! Math and Literacy Centers Pack!! Cue Olympics theme song...</span><br />

Kerri B here...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Did you all have a fabulous Turkey day yesterday?? I know my family did. We did it up right, complete with a giant dinner, a nice long walk after dinner, and some Black Friday (almost) ONLINE shopping (This girl prefers to do her shopping online, thank you very much!!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">On the subject of the holidays, have you met Magic Elf??</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Magic Elf magically appeared in my classroom last year to teach my students about the true meaning of Christmas! On December 1st, my students walked into my classroom and saw this little guy...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">...holding a note that explained why Santa had sent him-to remind my class all about the true meaning of Christmas, namely that Christmas is a time for joy, sharing, love, family, being neighborly, and many more things! Each night, he flew around the room and landed in a different spot. When the children came in the next morning, they would find him with a new note!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">People, my kidlets went cuckoo for Cocoa puffs over this little guy! Like, for reals! Magic Elf also would watch for good behavior and report back to Santa the students who were following the rules and showing each other the true meaning of the holidays. I kid you not, my students' behavior was AMAZING the month of December, and as we all know, most kids' behavior gets a little, shall we say, NUTSO the month before Christmas! Am I right??</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Some days, certain well-behaved students would walk in to find a certificate from Magic Elf on their desk, congratulating them on showing the true meaning of Christmas. My kids ATE. IT. UP! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">We also had a Magic Elf book that we worked on the whole month, and each day we would write what Magic Elf had taught us for the day and illustrate how we could show that to others. At the end of the month, my students took the book home to their parents so they could teach them all about the true meaning of Christmas. It was truly precious!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Would you like to experience the Magic in your own classroom?? </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">You can use ANY elf at all as your Magic Elf. Two years ago, I has a tiny one that I found at Target. I also found this huge one at a grocery store last year and he was so darn cute too...</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Happy Sunday, Peeps!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Well, my lovely obsession (aka <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=text_cj&source=CJ">Stitch Fix</a>) arrived a couple of weeks ago and it might have been the best one ever! I literally could have kept the entire box, and I almost did, but I managed to control myself and I did return one item, albeit very grudgingly!! :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Let's dive into this month's goodies, shall we? My stylist is Jessica (hey girl!!) and she is pretty much perfect! She literally chooses things for me that are sooooo right on, every.single.time!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Doesn't this picture just look so gorgeous already? I had asked her for some boho tops that were sleeveless since it is STILL 1,000,000,000 degrees here in Southern California, and apparently our weather is BROKEN and permanently set to HELL WEATHER, so sleeveless is perfect for me in my lovely UN-AIRCONDITIONED classroom! (Can you tell I'm a tad bitter??)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I had also asked Jessica for a light jacket for those cool Fall days I have been anticipating, but haven't arrived yet, and at this rate, probably never will. We'll just roll right back into summer, come February! LOL</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">She sent me this gem of a jacket. Isn't it GORGEOUS?? The color is soooo pretty. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">This is the Julia Utility Jacket from MARKET & SPRUCE. It fit perfectly and looked so darn cute with jeans, but I just couldn't justify keeping it. I literally almost NEVER wear jackets here in Orange County. Usually, a light sweater is all I need when it gets chilly. So, even though I really wanted to keep it, I knew it would just sit in my closet and not get worn. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">WAAA WAAA WAA WAAAA. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">RETURNED sadly.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">The next item in my box was the Zemba Henley Blouse by PAPERMOON. Ok, she had me the minute I held it up. Isn't it so fun?? The pattern, the colors, the fit, EVERYTHING is totally me!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Yup. This one is a really keeper, don't you think? And it looks great with jeans, shorts, black pants. A</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">nything really!! I also love that the arm holes aren't too big, so I don't have to wear a cami underneath it, but I can dress it up with a cardigan if I want to,.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> TOTALLY KEPT IT! And I have worn it several times too. :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Okay, item number 3 is the Osage Scoop Neck Blouse from LE LIS. Once again, I knew immediately that this blouse would be my forever friend, unless it was too short when I tried it on. The colors are so bright and vibrant, I love the print, and it is loose and flowy like I like (gotta hide that baby bump I've been carrying around for 16 years, right?? heh!) I was super excited about this one!</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">And, we have a WINNER!! This blouse is my FOREVER FRIEND!! The arm holes are perfect, the length is just right, and the color is soooo perrrrty!

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Item number 4 was yet another sleeveless blouse because my girl Jessica comes through for me and sleeveless blouses are my fave right now!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">The color in this picture does not do this blouse justice. It is the prettiest pale pink color and the flowers are a bright teal and bright pink color. I also LOVE the neckline! It is so so pretty on, as you will see in just a minute...</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">The fifth and final item in my box was the Siena Cropped Pant from KUT FROM THE KLOTH. These pants were specifically made for Stitch Fix and I just LOVE Kut jeans, so I was hopeful about these. They are a very light cotton material that is perfect for our currently RIDICULOUS weather, and they are super comfy. I was oh so excited about these pants!</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">TADA!! The pants are fabulous and fit me just fine (pants tend to be my arch-enemy most of the time. Anyone else feel that way?) and isn't the top just so feminine and pretty? I can wear it with jeans, pants, whatever, and feel totally put together. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I KEPT BOTH! It looks a little boxy in this picture, but I think it is just my awkward pose. I promise you it isn't! :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So, there you have it! I kept 4 out of 5 items this time and I really could have kept all 5! <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=text_cj&source=CJ">Stitch Fix</a> comes through for me every time, thanks to the best stylist ever, Jessica!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So, what exactly is <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a>, you ask?? It is super easy to explain...Basically you get your very own stylist who chooses clothes for you that fit your unique style, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Super fun, right??</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Here is how </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">works:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />1. Create a Style profile on the </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Website</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">2. Have 5 handpicked items that fit your style profile delivered to your house.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">3. Keep what you like and check out online. Send back the rest in a pre-paid envelope.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">4. Look fabulous at work!!</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />It takes about 10 minutes to fill out your style profile online, and this part is very fun, because you get to choose different outfits that best represent you. I loved this part! </span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">This really is the easiest service in the world. There is no pressure to keep anything. If you don't like anything, they charge you a $20 styling fee, but if you keep at least one item, the $20 fee goes toward the cost of that item, and shipping is FREE both ways. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Plus, if you keep all 5 items (</span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">which I have done, by the way) you get 25% off your entire box, so you get a bigger discount! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">You also can just sign up one time to try it out, which is what I did the first time. After I did it once, I was hooked, so I signed up for monthly, but my mom signs up for a Fix every once in a while. It is so easy and flexible AND FUN!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">If you want to check it out, would you please use my </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> referral link<span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">?

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Happy Stitch Fix Day, friends!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Well, I SAID I was going to do better with my <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=text_cj&source=CJ">Stitch Fix</a> posts, and then a week before school started, my principal told me I was going to be teaching a 1/2 combo! YAY ME. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">And then my life got all turned upside down as I tried to figure out this combo thing, PLUS moving Lindsay over to my school to teach first grade with me!!! (More on that later!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Currently, I am having my fixes delivered every 2-3 weeks because, well, I am KINDA obsessed with this service, in case you didn't notice. HEH! But also because I am looking for some back to school clothes and specifically I had asked for a couple of dresses I could wear the first week. As usual, my girl Jessica did not disappoint! Let's dive right in, shall we??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Here are this month's goodies, straight out of the box. Looking promising already!!</span></div>
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The first item Jessica sent me was the Brunswick Button Down Blouse from Collective Concepts. I knew the minute I took it out of the box that it wasn't for me. First of all, the pink was seriously NEON. Like for reals neon. And the diamonds were brown and burgundy. Not a fan. When I tried it on, I looked like a grandma. gross. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">RETURNED!</span></div>
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The next item in my box was the Brix Scoop Neck Blouse by Collective Concepts. This one was SCREAMING me (the colors and print were gorgeous!), until I put it on. Wah wah! It was just too short. I HATE and LOATHE short tanks that hit my thigh in just the perfect spot to make me look GINORMOUS. Boo! RETURNED.</span></div>
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">The third item in my box was the Oliander Open Cardigan by Loveappella. Again, I totally felt like this was a granny sweater! It was all thick and a weird material and when I put it on, I felt like I was 65. So sad!! RETURNED.</span></div>
<span style="color: #20124d;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">So far, this Fix is pretty depressing right?? Just wait until you see the dresses she sent me!! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Item number 4 was the Calvin Dress by Donna Morgan. When I first saw it, I loved the color but the print seemed a little crazy for me and horizontal stripes are not my best friend, soooo...... I was skeptical, to say the least.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">And then I put it on. And the heavens parted, the angels sang, and it.was.amazing!!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">TADA!!! Check it out Peeps!! Isn't it soooo darn pretty?? And check out the illusion of a waist it gave me with the navy stripe across the middle! This dress is a keeper for sure! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">P.S. Don't mind the awkward arm pose. I have no idea what my arm was doing was in this picture!! heehee :) </span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">Item number 5 was also a dress, the Tod Dress from Market and Spruce. This dress was 100% right up my alley! The colors, the length, the print. I loved it at first sight!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">This last dress was from a previous fix that I never blogged about because I had to get it hemmed. This is the Jesse Maxi Dress by Loveappella. Isn't it just the prettiest purple color?</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">It is super comfy on too! After I got it hemmed, it was the perfect length and not too loose or too tight. I'm excited to wear it to school after it cools down a little (since it is a brazillion degrees right now-ugh!!)</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, what exactly is </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a><span style="font-size: large;">, you ask?? It is super easy to explain...Basically you get your very own stylist who chooses clothes for you that fit your unique style, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Super fun, right??</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Here is how </span></span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">works:</span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />1. Create a Style profile on the </span></span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Website</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">2. Have 5 handpicked items that fit your style profile delivered to your house.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">3. Keep what you like and check out online. Send back the rest in a pre-paid envelope.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">4. Look fabulous at work!!</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />It takes about 10 minutes to fill out your style profile online, and this part is very fun, because you get to choose different outfits that best represent you. I loved this part! </span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">This really is the easiest service in the world. There is no pressure to keep anything. If you don't like anything, they charge you a $20 styling fee, but if you keep at least one item, the $20 fee goes toward the cost of that item, and shipping is FREE both ways. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Plus, if you keep all 5 items (</span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">which I have done, by the way) you get 25% off your entire box, so you get a bigger discount! </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #20124d; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">You also can just sign up one time to try it out, which is what I did the first time. After I did it once, I was hooked, so I signed up for monthly, but my mom signs up for a Fix every once in a while. It is so easy and flexible AND FUN!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">If you want to check it out, would you please use my </span></span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="font-size: large;">referral link</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">?

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Howdy friends! Lindsay here . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I kinda can't believe that the last time I was on here writing to you all was when I was wrapping up the school year with my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/End-of-the-Year-Awards-Little-Miss-Mr-Fabulous-Awards-716908">End of the Year Awards</a> . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">But then I think about what I've been up to this summer . . . and it kinda makes sense. Being home with my boys all summer and spending the days <strike>breaking up fights and dealing with tantrums</strike> making memories has been keeping me pretty busy! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Not only that, but I had several items on my School To-Do List that I needed to check off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I am the Checklist Queen.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Need to run to the grocery store? Don't forget the checklist!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Brainstorming Christmas present ideas in August? Need. A. Checklist.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">So NATURALLY the Checklist Queen likes to actually get things CHECKED OFF her list(s). The biggest item on my School To-Do List was my Kindergarten Science Notebook unit . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">It all started last summer when I was just feeling overwhelmed with the amount of NEW programs and things that were being required in my district, and the feeling that things such as science and social studies were being forgotten. I had never done a science notebook before, but my bestie Kerri had used a science notebook with her Fab Firsties and I thought WHAT THE HECK. LET'S GIVE THAT A TRY.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Not only that, but I also thought it would be so fun to create a THEMATIC science notebook! That would solve all of <strike>the world's</strike> my problems, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Think about if for a second . . . So often the science textbooks/pacing plans that we are given are not ordered in any particularly helpful way . . . In my district our kinder kiddos are given district science assessments that just make NO sense. For example, the physical science assessment is given in the fall, when teachers are naturally talking about seasonal things such as apple trees, pumpkins, harvest, etc. (a.k.a. LOTS of life science!). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"> Makes sense? NOPE. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">And not only that, but I found myself always supplementing my science resources anyway. I felt like science should be tied in with writing. Duh! We want our kiddos doing expository writing . . . then let's guide them in organizing their learning in meaningful ways that will be helpful in making them more confident emerging writers! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"> Not only that, but science should be tied in with language arts as well! Particularly in light of the emphasis on nonfiction with the new CCSS, using read-aloud books (fiction AND non-fiction) makes perfect sense. Kids LOVE to read and explore ALL books . . . so why not use that as a platform or hook to get kids excited about science?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"> Also . . . technology. There are amazing videos, websites and other resources that can really make science come alive for our little super scientists.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">My great idea soon turned into one GINORMOUS checklist item.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I started last year and created a Kindergarten Science Notebook {Fall Edition}, then a Winter Edition . . . and by the time spring rolled around I was assessing, conferencing, report carding and doing who knows what all else . . . and the Spring Edition never happened.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Epic fail.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">After giving myself a little grace (turns out you can't actually do ALL things with your Teacher-Mommy superpowers) I realized it wasn't a fail, just a an item that still needed to be checked off The List. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">So . . . after many hours of planning, typing, fiddling, editing, retyping, formatting, etc. . . . IT. IS. FINISHED. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span> </div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">First off, I printed out the entire Science Notebook Bundle and put it into a binder that will be my go-to science resources this year. As I sit down and plan each week I will have one handy resource from which I can pull my plans and things to print!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Inside the binder I put in all of the Science Notebook sets, organized by season. I hole punched all of the pages EXCEPT for the colorful posters (those will be laminated and put into a special pocket for easy access!) and put the seasonal covers into page protectors that make handy tabs to divide up the year!</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Within each season, the "themes" are broken down by month. For October, for example, the monthly focus is on pumpkins. Each monthly guide features vocabulary that is helpful to focus on for the month, as well as resources to be used during the month. The resources range from National Geographic for Kids readers to favorite read-aloud books to YouTube videos. You can use what you like! The resources, however, are not always to be used WITHIN the lessons themselves. They are meant to be interwoven into the learning throughout the month. </span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"> My students LOVED using their science notebooks last year! Their favorite was probably learning all about owls in October! </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">First we completed an owl step-draw and practiced labeling together! I heart kindergarten art!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Do you teach your little learners about word families?? I sure do!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I LOVE teaching my kids about word families, or chunks, as we sometimes call them. We learn about a new word family every week, and my kiddos absolute LOVE it! It is sooo good for them. They learn new spelling patterns, they learn about rhyming, they get to practice spelling lots of new words. I could go on and on!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">My kiddos can't can't wait to find out what the new chunk of the week will be, and they get so stoked when they find words that have that chunk in their phonics stories, or other books that they read throughout the week. Here are some of the things that I have found useful when teaching the different word families..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">This chart is super fun because it has a CD attached and each word family is made into a song from traditional tunes. I think the words repeat 3 times, so the kids can practice singing along. Plus, the chart is write and wipe so I let the kids some up and circle the word family words that are found in each song. They love it! Click on picture for a link to buy it on Amazon!</span></span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">These Word Family Tales from Scholastic are the BOMB! I got them forever ago through Scholastic, but you can also get them through Amazon!! Each book focuses on one word family and they are super cute and fun! My kids love me to read these to them and this is how I intro our word family each week!!

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">So, let me introduce my latest creation…the easiest, best way to teach word families!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-Word-Family-Notebook-Print-and-Go-Word-Family-Fun-1992984">Word Family Notebook Learning Pack</a> includes</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">everything you need to help your students learn about different word </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">families and practice writing those words! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Simply choose which word </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">families you want to focus on during the year, copy those pages into a </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">book, add the colored or blackline cover and you are ready to roll! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I use </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">this notebook every single week with my students, as we learn different </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">spelling patterns. My students get to practice writing the rhyming words, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">using them in a sentence, and illustrating that sentence with labeling! As </span></span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">the year goes on, I let them complete the notebook independently or with </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">a partner. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I laminate and display the word family posters on the wall and </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">brainstorm words from the word family with my students each week. </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;">You can also laminate these and use them in a center so your students </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;">can write their own words on them! </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: center;">Finally, I use the Word Family Machine worksheet as a weekly warm-up for independent </span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large; text-align: center;">practice! And, I have included 100 different word families, so there are a plethora of different spelling patterns for you to choose from!!</span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-Word-Family-Notebook-Print-and-Go-Word-Family-Fun-1992984"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38dCcAKsDDpaKjvB-Qb7DpOVjP7ANuvSqowpDChEpaFrwfyGWLk1Q5LZCEBxCv4s6Tc9uY_Pi6I1X8kcy1-3iFEndH74QJY6NO3QMgSS1tI0RrecRLgUe42V-duO1u62bQK9C967V4aDp/s640/word+family+notebook+preview.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"> I also used this notebook in Kinder and we did it whole group each week from January on, focusing only on the short vowel word families. In First Grade, I love this because you can really focus on the different spelling patterns and give the kids something concrete to help them remember each one! There are 3 sections: a place to brainstorm the chunk words, a place for a "SILLY" rhyming sentence, and a place for an illustration. The hook for the kids is the silly sentence, of course, and I really like this part because each week we can talk about writing a complete sentence, capitals and end marks and all that jazz! Plus, the kids LABEL (who doesn't love labeling??) heir picture with all of the word family words that they drew, so they get even more practice!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I am super excited about this one and I guarantee that it will help you in your classroom with your kids. I have been using this <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/My-Word-Family-Notebook-Print-and-Go-Word-Family-Fun-1992984">word family notebook </a>successfully in Kinder and First Grade for the past 10 years, but only now have I gotten around to making it TPT worthy!!

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Happy Summer, friends!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I am blogging with you today from sunny Seattle (as in, it is going to be 90 degrees here on Friday! WTH Seattle!! Do you not realize that I melt in the heat??). My mom and I are here for our annual "visit the baby brother" trip and so far, it is AMAZING (and hot)!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I am here to share my latest </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> you!! YAY!! I know, I know, I have been quite the slacker with my Stitch Fix posts lately. What with school, teenagers needing rides all over town, and helping out with my daughter's theatre program at school (yes, I AM THAT MOM!! There should be a new show called "Theatre moms" starring yours truly!! Heehee), I have failed miserably to share my Stitch Fix finds with you. Boo on me!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I promise I will be better…starting with this post right here!! What the heck is Stitch Fix, you ask?? Don't worry, I'll fill you in on all the deets at the end of this post. :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">You can even sign up to get your own box of </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">heaven!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So, here is my latest pile of goodness after I took it out of the box. Isn't it sooooo purty??? The colors are SCREAMING me!! I had asked my stylist Jessica (who is the bomb.com BTW) to send me lots of tanks this time since it summer, and she did not disappoint! Let's delve right in, shall in??</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">This first little number is the NELDA HALTER BLOUSE by Pixley. I LOVED the colors and print of this tank, but in general, I am not a halter top fan, and this one was WAYYYY too haltery when I tried it on, so NOT A KEEPER. Waaaaa….</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> This next piece is the ARVIA EMBROIDERY HALTER TOP by Daniel Rainn. When I first took a look at it, I was like WHAAATT??? The neck was just screaming "Aztec Goddess". I felt like it should have been in the Emperor's New Groove or something. (Anyone seen that Disney gem??? HILARIOUS, I tell you!!!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">However, I tried it on like a good little Stitch Fix girl, and I was pleasantly surprised! It was actually kind of adorable on! </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> This next dress is called the EVY DRESS from Kut from the Kloth. I love me some Kut from the Kloth (their cropped jeans are the BEST!) so I was super stoked about this dress. But, once I took a look at it, I saw that the green was NEON. Like for real NEON GREEN. Really?? No thanks! Bummer too, cause the dress was super cute!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> Next up is this gorgeous tank from Papermoon called the DESCANSO BEADED NECKLINE BLOUSE. Isn't it TO DIE FOR?? I knew right away that we were destined to be forever friends!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">The last item in my box this month was the 41 HAWTHORN Zappo Mixed Material Sweater. I was SOOOOO excited to see this in my box! I had requested this sweater forever ago when I saw it on another blogger's website, but I never received it. Until today!! It is super thin and comfy and I thought it would be perfect for those cool Seattle evenings so I brought it with me. Yeah, obviously not going to get to wear it on THIS trip. Maybe back in California??</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So pretty, right???</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">And….here are a couple of winners from my last few fixes that I didn't blog about (I'm a loser, I know!!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">This is the PAPERMOON CORDELIA SCOOP NECK BLOUSE. I love everything about this blouse! It is perfect for summer and it reminds me of rainbow sherbet. All of my favorite colors and chevron rolled into one perfectly perfect tank!! In fact, I am wearing it AS.WE.SPEAK. (True story!!)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">It is perfect to wear with a little cardigan also, but currently I am wearing it alone because it is 1000 degrees here is Seattle. (Can you tell I'm a little torked about the weather??)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Another one of favorites that I had pinned and Jessica was able to find for me was this Wakeman Crocheted Open Cardigan from Honey Punch. It is sooooo soft, like BUTTAH soft!! And the perfect taupe that goes with EVERYTHING!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I can wear it with absolutely everything!! Like this black tee and another fabulous stitch fix maxi skirt I got a few fixes ago!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkcp0vzS4bFlL5SHfdzHVHvRI4Vk5EUiqh1HvREJKIXTiTe-bYVXuW-37Jixx1IRwrC5gh8KmJrvfJDJWCTdFZXdFhHNWIePDxj5JP_v5rec37ksTX8uNX_HKPD-4toCjo4-TbXZdHGy5/s1600/IMG_0968.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkcp0vzS4bFlL5SHfdzHVHvRI4Vk5EUiqh1HvREJKIXTiTe-bYVXuW-37Jixx1IRwrC5gh8KmJrvfJDJWCTdFZXdFhHNWIePDxj5JP_v5rec37ksTX8uNX_HKPD-4toCjo4-TbXZdHGy5/s640/IMG_0968.jpg" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">It also looks great with this PIXLEY LIVIE ABSTRACT CHEVRON MAXI DRESS which I got in the fix before my current one. Girls, they had me at chevron and then really had me when I saw these beautiful colors!!! I usually shy away from vertical stripes (Can I get an AMEN??), but this dress is fabulous in every way!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> Last, but not least, I had asked Jessica for a teal green bag. Guess what she found me??? This fantabulous URBAN EXPRESSIONS CROSSBODY BAG in TEAL GREEN!!!! OHEMGEEEE! I have gotten so so so many compliments on this bag! And it looks small, but it can fit a TON of my <strike>crap </strike> very important stuff. YAY ME!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So, what exactly is </span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">, you ask?? It is super easy to explain...Basically you get your very own stylist who chooses clothes for you that fit your unique style, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Super fun, right??</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Here is how </span></span></span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">works:</span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />1. Create a Style profile on the </span></span><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643" style="font-size: x-large;">Stitch Fix</a> <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Website</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">2. Have 5 handpicked items that fit your style profile delivered to your house.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">3. Keep what you like and check out online. Send back the rest in a pre-paid envelope.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">4. Look fabulous at work!!</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />It takes about 10 minutes to fill out your style profile online, and this part is very fun, because you get to choose different outfits that best represent you. I loved this part! </span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">This really is the easiest service in the world. There is no pressure to keep anything. If you don't like anything, they charge you a $20 styling fee, but if you keep at least one item, the $20 fee goes toward the cost of that item, and shipping is FREE both ways. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Plus, if you keep all 5 items (</span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">which I have done, by the way) you get 25% off your entire box, so you get a bigger discount! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">You also can just sign up one time to try it out, which is what I did the first time. After I did it once, I was hooked, so I signed up for monthly, but my mom signs up for a Fix every once in a while. It is so easy and flexible AND FUN!!!</span></span><br />

Lindsay here . . .</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I just can't even wrap my mind around the fact that there are only six weeks left of school (for me) folks! It's just not possible. Where did this year go??? </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I am convinced that my school district is the absolute veeeeeeeeeeeeery last to get out of school each and every year. No seriously. I get to see all the "HOORAY SCHOOL IS OUT AND I AM ON SUMMER BREAK!!!!!" Facebook posts . . . again, and again. And. Again. Argh!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">This year we are out on June 19th (See?! I TOLD you it was so late!) but I am trying my darndest to stay on top of things because I know these last few weeks are just gonna fly by! </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Let's see . . . What's left to do . . . (Insert mental checklist:)</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">1. OPEN HOUSE</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">2. Report Cards</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">3. End of the year assessments (before report cards - duh)</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">4. Practice for Kindergarten graduation</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">5. One last field trip</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">6. Beach day (cuz my school is at the beach - you should be jealous!) </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">7. End of the year gifts for my sweeties</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">8. Thank you gifts for my classroom volunteers</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Oh . . . and the end-of-the-year awards. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Let me just tell you, these awards are one of my most FAVORITEST things. I don't care if that's not even a word. I love them THAT much. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">The last day of school in the classroom with my kidlets is always so precious to me. One. Last. Day. That means one last day of making memories. One last day to tell those kiddos how much I love them. And best of all, one last day to affirm my kidlets for all of the things that make them so unique and wonderful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Every year I have come up with special awards for my kidlets in the style of "Mr." and "Little Miss". For example, someone is always "Mr. President" or "Little Miss Stick-To-It". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTHz3Y7ixdLUcOf6XisNeCjYpFH4MyXoRh1Y-UkW-D04eeFWfL8uPby11dpWLSnjnBz-GxWqWLCtDqNonMY9V2JesftZNEObY9IJWRUhp_lEBqJvPMLZw8fRhSeSnq0aKExkh32VDZB8H/s1600/photo+jack+watermark.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQTHz3Y7ixdLUcOf6XisNeCjYpFH4MyXoRh1Y-UkW-D04eeFWfL8uPby11dpWLSnjnBz-GxWqWLCtDqNonMY9V2JesftZNEObY9IJWRUhp_lEBqJvPMLZw8fRhSeSnq0aKExkh32VDZB8H/s640/photo+jack+watermark.png" width="640" /></span></a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">One thing that is so great about these awards is that not only does it have a cute title (Hello Mr. Small-But-Mighty!) . . . but they ALSO have a little explanation at the top. So I can literally say "For caring & loving deeds, the Mr. Big Heart award goes to . . .". It really helps each kiddo understand what their award from me means. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">When the time comes to give out the awards, I always remind my kiddos how special and unique they are, and the fact that we are celebrating the things that make them extra special! For a little extra added fun I like to read off the name of the award and have the kids guess who will be getting it . . . and you know what? They are usually right!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I decided it would be super fun to put these awards in my TPT store for other teachers who might be looking for a way to celebrate their kiddos at the end of this year! This set includes 35 different awards, each one available for either a boy OR a girl! The awards are ready to print and the set also has a handy planning sheet included to keep you super organized! (I just L-O-V-E a good checkoff sheet!)</span><br />

Lindsay here . . .</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Let's be honest. Its 10 p.m. and I should REAAAAAAALLY be in bed right about now, but I just had to get on here and share my easy-peasy Mother's Day activities because . . . HELLO! Tomorrow is May already! Mother's Day is right around the corner! </span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Okay. Tiny panic attack over . . . just breathe. </span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">I love Mother's Day. I really do. I have the best teacher-momma in the world and I love making her feel special (and not just on Mother's Day). </span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">And then of course about four-ish years ago I joined the "Mommy Club" myself. Which basically means I like to remind my husband as OFTEN as possible how large and difficult each of my boys was to birth and how some diamonds JUST MIGHT make all of those pesky stretch marks worthwhile . . . :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">But in all seriousness - every year Mother's Day is one of the most special days in my classroom. My kiddos absolutely L-O-V-E surprising their moms with sweet words and beautiful gifts!</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">I call my Mother's Day celebration "Muffins With Mom". Our whole celebration is tea-themed. On the front of the card that my kidlets make for their moms it says YOU ARE MY CUP OF TEA. </span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Now my kiddos DO learn a song that we sing for the moms and they DO make an adorable little modge-podged plate that is so sweet . . . BUT . . . the best part of the present (in my humble opinion) is what is INSIDE the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">What's inside? Tear-jerking sweetness. That's what.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">First, I do a student interview with each kiddo - all about MOM. Not only is this highly entertaining for me ("Oh, your mom likes to watch General Hospital?") but to hear what the kiddos have to say about their moms is just TOTES ADORBS. I mean, these kiddos think their moms are just THE. BEST.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Here is one example:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">Glued onto the OTHER side of the card is a writing piece that my kiddos do that begins with "I love my mom because . . ."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"></span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;">First one: "I love my mom because she drains the bath (baf)." Hey, just being practical, right?</span></div>

Kerri here..</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">
<br />
Earth Day is this week! I can't believe it!! Where the heck is April going??</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br />
Earth Day is one of my favoritest days (holidays? What do I call it exactly??) to teach my kidlets all about, mostly because they REALLY take it seriously and become so motivated to help keep the Earth clean. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br />
Here are some of the activities that I did with my class last year to celebrate Earth Day...</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br />
First, we made this super EASY PEASY (and pretty) Earth Day art and wrote about how we could help save the Earth...</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br />
9 x 12 light blue background<br />5 x 12 skin color (I folded it in half, traced one my kids' hands and then cut it out once)<br />Earth pattern (click picture above to access this)<br />3 x 4 paper folded in half for the heart (I used pretty scrapbook paper)<br />Writing paper so the kids can write how they love the Earth (also included with download, click photo above)</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><br />
We also made a little <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9gdPNfXIsbUcGpGOUVxVmx1am8/edit?usp=sharing">"I Love the Earth" bubble map</a> to help us describe the Earth. This helped us when when we wrote about it (click image to download)...</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Good Morning, Bits and Bobbers!! Kerri, your resident <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">Stitch Fix</a> girl, is back with not 1, but 2 months of Stitch Fix goodness!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Why 2 months, you ask?? My February box arrived when my older daughter was in her high school musical and I was re-living my high school theatre glory days by being the ultimate stage mom (Not ashamed to admit it!!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Then, shortly after I got my March box and got the pictures all ready to roll, I got that nasty flu that was going around and it knocked my on my B.U.T.T. !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I literally had a fever for a week! It was ridiculous.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So, that is why I now have 2 whole months of wonderful <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">Stitch Fix</a> goodies to share with you. I'll show you the good (TONS!), the bad (A TINY BIT), and everything in between. Unsure what Stitch Fix is? Don't worry, I'll explain it all at the end of this post and you'll want to sign up FO SHO!!! :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So, here is my pretty blue and brown box when it arrived at my house in March. I like to look at it for a few moments in anticipation before I open it. I'm a huge DORK, I know!!! But isn't it so pretty??</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Now, I'll go through each piece and show you pictures of me in the ones that worked for me...</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">First up, the RENEE C Garren Keyhole Blouse. This was absolutely RIGHT UP MY ALLEY! The colors, the print, I loved everything about it! Unfortunately, when I tried it on it was too short and boxy for me (I prefer tops that cover my child bearing hips...I'm sure some of you can relate??) and I was super sad. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">However, my mom tried it on (she is shorter and more petite than I am) and it fit her perfectly! So, she kept it and ROCKS it every time she wears it. WINNER!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Next up, the GILLI Kadyn Dress. You can't tell by this picture but this dress was V-neck and my first impression was, "I don't have the cleavage or the nerve to pull this one off!" But, I tried it on anyway, because you just never know, right??</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Well, what do you know??!! This dress was pretty darn cute on me! My cleavage (or lack there of!) wasn't a problem after all! And it was so soft and comfy and that Cheveron print was TO.DIE.FOR!! KEEPER!!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Item Number 3...the PIXLEY Zoey Geo Print Dress. My first impression of this dress was definitely MEH. It reminded me of a dress I would have worn in the 90's, to be honest, and the colors were NOT my favorite.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Then I tried it on....and I was right. The colors washed me right out, cause in case you haven't noticed...I'm paler than pale, especially in the middle of March. Ugh...it was hideous. RETURNED!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Next item up...the PIXLEY Meryl Tulip Print Sleeveless Blouse.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Here is a close up of the blouse. I love that I can wear it with a cardigan in the Spring and sleeveless (well, after I get my arms tanned up a little-ugh!) in the Summer. LOVE IT!!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Item #5-The FATE Terrell Cardigan. I had asked Jessica to send me a gray cardigan, and this one looked super promising on the hanger. Interesting knit, but not too busy. I was excited to try it on!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">YES!! I loved everything about this!! It was cozy and warm, but not too heavy, which is perfect for Spring, plus it looked fabulous paired with my pale pink jeweled top I got on clearance from Nordys. KEEPER!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">the gray cardigan, the gorgeous dress with the chevron print, and the tulip print. Plus, my mom kept that fabulous BOHO blouse that was too short for me. Pretty awesome job, Jessica!! She knocked it out of the park, as usual!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">The first item she sent me was the BRIXON IVY Fallon Mixed Print Sleeveless Blouse. I think I <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/teacherbandb/stitch-fix/">pinned this blouse</a> a million times and I was SOOOOO excited to see it in my box. All my favorite colors rolled into one?? Sleeveless blouse that I can wear with a cardigan or without?? Yes please!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Item #2-the COLLECTIVE CONCEPTS Phelan Blouse. Now, this blouse looks wonky on the hanger, but OH.MY.WORD.

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">And I did, girls!!! Once I put it on, I know it would be my forever blouse. My favorite part about it was the sleeve length. I like a longer sleeve and these were the perfect length. I also loved the teal and pink. This blouse is the perfect casual look to go with capri jeans. KEEPER!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Item #3-the MARKET AND SPRUCE Torin French Terry Stripe Blazer. I had asked Jessica for a blazer that I could wear with jeans. I have never had a blazer before and to be honest, blazers aren't really my thang...but I wanted to stretch myself and give it a try. This one was cute on the hanger, but I'm not a big fan of horizontal stripes, plus it looked a little short waisted, so I was skeptical, to say the least.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">When I tried it on, it was NOT A WINNER AT ALL. The horizontal stripes made me look ridiculous and it was SUPER short. Bleccchhh....Sorry blazer...you were RETURNED!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Item #4-the GILLI Liana Maxi Dress. I asked Jessica to send me another Maxi dress and when she sent me this one, I was half excited and half dismayed. Excited because the print on the bottom was 100% my style, but once again, the top half had a v-neck wrapped look and I thought for sure it would make me feel uncomfortable and bustless. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">However, I still gave it a try on with my fingers crossed...</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">This dress was absolutely STUNNING on. The material was real soft and slinky and the pattern was perfect. The top part had a bit of a V to it, but nothing I couldn't deal with. I paired it with my denim jacket that Jessica sent me a few Fixes ago, and it was perfection! This dress also looks fabulous with my off-white cardigan. KEEPER FO SHO!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> Last up in this box, the LIVERPOOL Daryl Capri Straight Leg Jean. I had also asked Jessica to send me some denim capri skinnies and these fit the bill just fine. However, when I tried them on, they fit fine, but they were very similar to another pair of jeans I already own, and I couldn't justify the cost, so sadly I had to return them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I am already eagerly awaiting my April box! Each month, you can send a specific note to your stylist requesting specific items you have <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/teacherbandb/stitch-fix/">pinned</a> (this is KEY!) or a specific type of item. For example, I would love a top with birds on it (so random right??) and boho dresses. Here is the note I sent her for this month:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #e7f3f2; font-family: BrandonText-Regular, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #e7f3f2; font-family: BrandonText-Regular, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Jessica again, please!! I would love some boho dresses this time, sleeveless and not too clingy around the waist or too short? Still looking for a bird top and I LOVED the collective concepts shirt from last time, so another one in the same style but a different print maybe? And some capri skinny jeans in a darker blue color or a denim skirt? You always knock it out of the park for me!! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #e7f3f2; font-family: BrandonText-Regular, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">See how specific I am? This is really helpful for her to know exactly what I like and don't like. Can't wait to see what she comes up for me this month!! :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">So, what exactly is <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">Stitch Fix</a>, you ask?? It is super easy to explain...Basically you get your very own stylist who chooses clothes for you that fit your unique style, without having to leave the comfort of your home. Super fun, right??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Here is how <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">Stitch Fix</a> works:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />1. Create a Style profile on the <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">Stitch Fix</a> Website</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">2. Have 5 handpicked items that fit your style profile delivered to your house.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">3. Keep what you like and check out online. Send back the rest in a pre-paid envelope.</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">4. Look fabulous at work!!</span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br />It takes about 10 minutes to fill out your style profile online, and this part is very fun, because you get to choose different outfits that best represent you. I loved this part! </span><br style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">This really is the easiest service in the world. There is no pressure to keep anything. If you don't like anything, they charge you a $20 styling fee, but if you keep at least one item, the $20 fee goes toward the cost of that item, and shipping is FREE both ways. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Droid Sans'; line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Plus, if you keep all 5 items (</span><span style="font-family: Droid Sans;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">which I have done, by the way) you get 25% off your entire box, so you get a bigger discount! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">You also can just sign up one time to try it out, which is what I did the first time. After I did it once, I was hooked, so I signed up for monthly, but my mom signs up for a Fix every once in a while. It is so easy and flexible AND FUN!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">If you want to check it out, would you please use my <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/client/scheduled?utm_campaign=text_cj&amp;utm_medium=influencer&amp;utm_source=cj">referral link</a>? I get a small commission when my readers have their first box shipped and this helps me to keep posting these awkward photos for you all to see! :)</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Droid Sans; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 22.880001068115234px;">Thanks for reading, friends!! I'll be back with my April review in a couple of weeks. I wonder what Stitch Fix treasures will behold me this month?? </span></span><br />

Kerri here...</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I am happy to report that we have exactly 2 weeks left until Spring Break! I can't believe how this year has flown by. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">About this time every year, I start thinking about my favorite thing OF.ALL.TIME...Open House!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I don't know why I love it so, but I sure do. It also is the one thing that used to bring me to a state of panic every single year, until I got wise, and decided to SLAY the Open House beast with my WICKED ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLZ!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">WORD.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Here's how I do it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I start with a theme and for the past few years, mine has been the Rainforest. Super engaging to my kidlets, bright, colorful, and fun, and very scientifical. WIN WIN WIN!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">We also start our Rainforest Unit WAAAYYYY in advance. Like we already started our first project this week because we were learning about butterflies and LUCKILY, there are butterflies in the rainforest! Exhibit A...</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Next, I get my art projects all planned out and prepped. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I have many different art projects that we complete for Open House (like 10-12 different ones), so I have been prepping them little by little and storing them in my Open House tub...</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">well, actually, this is not TOTALLY accurate. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">We are blessed to have an aide at our school who preps our art for us (I know, I know. Don't spit loogies at your computer screen!!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> BUT I never had an aide at my old school, so I had to prep all the art myself and I would just prep my art projects 2-3 weeks in advance, so they were sure to be ready to roll. </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">After that, I decide which books I'll need to teach about the Rainforest. Most of the books I can get from our school library, but I also ordered a bunch from Amazon, so when we are learning about each animal, I have a book to read the the class.</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Another thing that saves my skin is my rainforest tub that holds all of my vines that I hang in the room...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvoFKBkX4OsWHAOvJc0nSkJ2lN4oM2e8qEzQtd3KmU8lpxgvpDrXgJR99oLcFXu1FAk46PGelYOd2pdNUFq5_2m5U46IXaShIxV-v3en0CkF79t6jK5LFBNHJ2piu9aDEvIUqmoKkaF5P/s1600/IMG_2734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvoFKBkX4OsWHAOvJc0nSkJ2lN4oM2e8qEzQtd3KmU8lpxgvpDrXgJR99oLcFXu1FAk46PGelYOd2pdNUFq5_2m5U46IXaShIxV-v3en0CkF79t6jK5LFBNHJ2piu9aDEvIUqmoKkaF5P/s1600/IMG_2734.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I twisted these vines out of green butcher paper ages ago, and I just pull them out and re-use them each year. That way I am not stressed out making vines and cutting out trees from butcher paper every single year!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Parents are a HUGE help to me when I do this unit each year. I send home a note soliciting help and I always get lots of offers. Many moms who can't help in the classroom are more than happy to help from home, so I send projects home each week for them to cut, glue, stuff, etc. It makes my life WAYYY easier!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Finally, to add to the aesthetics in my room, I make sure all of projects are in the same color scheme (I know, totally OCD of me, right?). For example, my flowers, butterflies, rainbow fish and most of the other colorful projects are red, turquoise, bright green, purple, and orange. What can I say, I like it to be matchy matchy!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I also print out a brazillion labels with the kids' names on them (with a cute font of course), and have them put their name sticker on the front of each project so their parents can easily find them on Open House night!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been a while since I blogged about <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a>, due to Thanksgiving in November and then there was all of the December madness, but I am back and excited to share with you my most recent fix, including some winners from my November and December fixes as well. Wondering what in the heck <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> is?? I''l explain it all at the end of this post!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ready to see all of my <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> goodness?? Here we go...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So this yummy little box arrived last week and I couldn't wait to rip it open and see what my lovely stylist Jessica had picked out for me.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a little peek at my Style card this month. So far, it looks fabulous!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> And, here is my pretty pile of clothes all ready for me to try on. Don't they look good enough to try on?? ;)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimM942MNhFwKbHmDcPYRTdfHc9Ud6DHFthIsuaQoRj2GGm-4hQvE6NLrC1M2rfKH9J7demkQr_CjvsrLMgWPr1uZ-ec2FNjaFVvibOImJRUMff97OQksomb3mmiYWwdMeFVDFgEZGLQHNl/s1600/IMG_0031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimM942MNhFwKbHmDcPYRTdfHc9Ud6DHFthIsuaQoRj2GGm-4hQvE6NLrC1M2rfKH9J7demkQr_CjvsrLMgWPr1uZ-ec2FNjaFVvibOImJRUMff97OQksomb3mmiYWwdMeFVDFgEZGLQHNl/s1600/IMG_0031.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I never ask for jewelry in my Fixes because, well, I have GOBS of jewelry. It's embarrassing, really. Just ask my husband!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But, I figured, what the hey! Let's see what she sends me. She did not disappoint, let me tell you! I pinned a couple of layered gold necklaces on my Stitch Fix board and I was so excited to see one show up in my box!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the BAY TO BAUBLES Jody Stone Charm Layered Necklace, and it was beautiful on. You'll see what I mean in a minute.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcvie3egTHVW2wdawGWgTO1dd8IwJHBIFU8JAQgjpQwws-s8_1LCs3CSquBJuwvTTYPpVfUrCLbGw1ydPhnUVza5W76OVM1ge5q2W93bNc98EBArqL3oF95oU1NVcXhQtMQRPDLdYymnv/s1600/IMG_0032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrcvie3egTHVW2wdawGWgTO1dd8IwJHBIFU8JAQgjpQwws-s8_1LCs3CSquBJuwvTTYPpVfUrCLbGw1ydPhnUVza5W76OVM1ge5q2W93bNc98EBArqL3oF95oU1NVcXhQtMQRPDLdYymnv/s1600/IMG_0032.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it great?? This necklace was JUST what I was looking for, and I have requested some matchy earrings in my next fix. Fingers crossed Jessica will find some for me. I'm in love with this!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_15xNaqfpEEPCbYhSgmsHef4Md67y6I1MB72cYGYlTShkVLeP5NXLVaNmMsSg6EmKBWrnI2i6wW10TZ87XFc4F2YfBgMb_kgCg6gjAV8RhCT27DjOfnqVzxj4s3CuTI0I707jCXQGdt8D/s1600/IMG_0081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_15xNaqfpEEPCbYhSgmsHef4Md67y6I1MB72cYGYlTShkVLeP5NXLVaNmMsSg6EmKBWrnI2i6wW10TZ87XFc4F2YfBgMb_kgCg6gjAV8RhCT27DjOfnqVzxj4s3CuTI0I707jCXQGdt8D/s1600/IMG_0081.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also asked for a sweater this time, since it is FINALLY chilly here in So. Cal. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Enter the RALPH CABLE KNIT DETAILED RAGLAN SWEATER by MAK B.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This looked cute on the hanger, but HOLY HIDEOUSNESS!!! It was disgusting on me. I looked utterly ridiculous and frumpy. I couldn't even take a picture in it. UGH...this one was returned for sure!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My next piece was the LAYLA STIPED ELBOW PATCH DETAIL CARDIGAN by HONEY PUNCH. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Be still my beating heart!!! It was just fabulous on the hanger and even more fabulous on. So soft and cozy, and cute to boot!! I TOTALLY kept this bad boy and I even wore it to school on Monday! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See what I mean?? Isn't it too adorable?? Please ignore the WRINKLED SHIRT!! Geez, what a mess I am, right?? Can you tell I'll do anything other than iron, including looking like a hot mess on camera?? HEEHEE!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My next piece was just as amazing. This is the EDMOND CHEVRON PRINT HENLEY SHIRT by PIXLEY. I loved everything about it the minute I saw it! The CHEVRON print (HELLO??? I love Chevron!), the 3/4 sleeves, the V-neck. It was perfectly perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">See what I'm saying?? It just fit me perfectly and I felt soooo cute in it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The colors are gorgeous!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My final piece was the BAJEE COLLECTION ARTURO FLEECE JACKET. I had requested a jacket this time, but this one was WAYYYYYY to heavy for So. Cal. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus, I felt like Sherlock Holmes in it. And it was black. Not my favorite. So this one went back.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Here are my favorite 2 pieces from that fix...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The CATHLEEN SPLIT NECK TULIP SLEEVE BLOUSE by 19 Cooper. The color was so vibrant and this shirt just flows perfectly. I wore it for Thanksgiving AND Christmas, that's how much I love it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also LOVE this dress and I have received soooooo many compliments on it! This is the DOMINIC GEO PRINT SHIRT DRESS by 41 Hawthorn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved this one so much that I requested another one in a different print for my December Fix and guess what?? I got one!! YAY!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These colors are just beautiful to wear and the 3/4 sleeves are my absolute favorite!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, here is a peek at my December Fix. See that hint of denim??I FINALLY got the denim jacket I had been requesting for months and I cannot wait to wear it with my dresses in the Spring. :) SQUEAL!!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUX90ThYqFZfxXzpuCHH8zdnAGI8X-VkZe92pTNzpjEVpAuKrvQlmVf2i30T8Hb6-EueHmUBs_v7cGuzeKOaeDxBldkL2FQT9DRfbn7LspEJI_kprbns0ArzOJfsHZQgKss3LynilqXOnp/s1600/IMG_9955.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUX90ThYqFZfxXzpuCHH8zdnAGI8X-VkZe92pTNzpjEVpAuKrvQlmVf2i30T8Hb6-EueHmUBs_v7cGuzeKOaeDxBldkL2FQT9DRfbn7LspEJI_kprbns0ArzOJfsHZQgKss3LynilqXOnp/s1600/IMG_9955.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This denim jacket is super comfy and the perfect shade of blue! It is called the ANJULI DARK WASH DENIM JACKET by JUST USA. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love every bit of this, and I am excited to wear it to school soon!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember that dress that I loved so much?? Well, here it is again in a different print. The navy and white honeycomb pattern is super interesting and it is totally comfortable and long enough to wear to work. Thank you Jessica for sending me another one!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, I LOVE this 19 COOPER CATHLEEN LEOPARD PRINT TULIP-SLEEVE BLOUSE. The leopard print makes me feel a little sassy when I wear it, and it looks fabulous with a black cardigan and flats. RAWR!! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, what exactly is <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a>, you ask??</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Create a Style profile on the <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-7649447-11813643">Stitch Fix</a> Website</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Have 5 handpicked items that fit your style profile delivered to your house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Keep what you like and check out online. Send back the rest in a pre-paid envelope via the US Post Office.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Look fabulous at work!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />It takes about 10 minutes to fill out your style profile online, and this part is super fun, because you get to choose different outfits that best represent you. I love this part! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This really is the easiest service in the world. There is no pressure to keep anything. If you don't like anything, they charge you a $20 styling fee, but if you keep at least one item, the $20 fee goes toward the cost of that item, and shipping is FREE both ways. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!! Plus, you can do it once a month, every 2-3 weeks, or just one time to see what it's like. It's totally up to you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">If you sign up, would you please click on my <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/?utm_source=cj&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=text_cj&source=CJ">links</a>? See, I get a little referral every time someone like you signs up, and then I can keep doing this little fashion show for you each month, which I am sure is the highlight of your month, right?? :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Win win win!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Happy Christmas break friends! Lindsay here . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Isn't being on break THE. BEST. THING. EVER?! I had my in-laws visiting from Florida last week, and my mom is coming into town today (YAY!) and its just soooo nice to be "stay-at-home-mommy" for two weeks with my little guys. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Except on the days when the baby refuses to take his second nap.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Or when my three year old pees in a public parking lot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Yup. Both true stories . . . just from yesterday. But I digress . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So December when by in the blink of an eye. I should have known - it ALWAYS does, right? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Room 17 was a busy place this December. We made cards for the troops, gifts for our parents, did a whole unit on gingerbread stories AND had our holiday program . . .</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed all of the fun gingerbread-y activities that went along with our gingerbread unit. I was on maternity leave this time last year and I really missed all of the fun holiday activities . . . such as . . . our Gingerbread Hunt!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Last year our grade level team decided to have each student decorate their own gingerbread man ornament (made of salt dough) to take home . . . only to have them DISAPPEAR.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">(Insert dramatic gasp here)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">You know what happens next folks: a clue magically appears which leads the students through the school right to the runaway gingerbread men.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">THIS YEAR I was totally excited to join in on the fun! Except that I REAAAAAALLY wanted to up the drama factor. It went a little something like this: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Teacher (straight-faced): Boys and girls, when I call your color row I would like you to take your gingerbread man ornament off the back table where it was drying and put it in your cubby. Red row . . .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">(Red row goes to back table. Students look around, start milling about in a highly confused manner . . .)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Student #1: I can't find them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Student #2: Me needer (neither)!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Teacher (still straight-faced . . . should probably get an Academy Award for the ability to keep this face going for so long): They are ON the table boys and girls.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Students: No they're not!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Student #3: I know! They ran away!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Entire class: (GASP!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Yup. It was goooooooooooood!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">So obviously the first thing you need to do when your gingerbread man runs away is make a WANTED poster. So we did. I LOVED all of the reward ideas they came up with, and the creative places in the classroom they chose to hang their posters . . .</span></div>

I mean, it doesn't get any cuter than that, right? (Did I mention I am a crazy pig collector lady?!) Folks . . . I never woulda guessed that I would be the proud owner of a three foot light-up pig lawn ornament - but here we are. And I kind of love it. And I hope my neighbors do too! ;)</span><br />
