Five for Friday... On Sunday.

I'm linking up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching for her Five for Friday linky. I know, I know. I am super late. But it's my first time, so I'm super excited and couldn't wait until next week!!

I LOVE Hobby Lobby. And I think everyone who teaches can relate. Actually... I think everyone can relate (except my husband who refuses to go with me). They have the best sales and I never pay full price for anything-- WIN! They had their metal and wood sale this past week and I hit the jackpot! 

Many people don't know that when I was in college, I found out that I had a very unique medical condition. My doctor told me that if I could even get pregnant, that it would be very difficult and possibly impossible to carry a baby to term. When I found out I was pregnant, I was shocked! And terrified. We had to go to a specialist every 4 weeks (so with all appts- I was at the doctor every other week) to make sure Madden was safe and locked up in there! I went into early labor at 34 weeks, but the doctor's were able to stop things so that the little man could develop as much as possible. And what do you know.. 39 weeks came along and he didn't want to come out at all! I had to be induced in the end. Anyway, this is perfect for my baby because he is truly a blessing from God! 

I also found this adorable Halloween owl for our door.  (Don't judge the pollen still caked on our door)

I am obsessed with shoes. Usually boots and flats, but I found these Nikes and I love them! They have both my favorite colors in them and match all my workout stuff. Let's not pretend I work out.. I just wear the workout gear and let people think I do :)

My best friend Heather, who teaches 1st grade, had a birthday on Friday and I was so lucky that we got to spend some time together celebrating her birthday on Saturday! We were the last to leave the restaurant last night and I think they were mopping our shoes. She lives about an hour away and we don't get to spend enough time together. But we can always pick up right where we left off! 

A local journalist took our picture at a restaurant about 2 years ago in Charlotte and we were featured on their online site. I felt pretty famous, I'm not going to lie. 

I feel like I look so sick when I'm pale, so I spray tan. Sometimes I go to the salon and get it done, but I usually don't have the time. I found the most amazing spray tan mist at Ulta. I probably use them 2x a week. 

You can't beat 9.99 to look tan and FABULOUS! ;) 

I couldn't pick just one here so... My last one two are my new fall products I uploaded this week to my TPT store. And they are both on sale until tonight!

Don't forget that Melissa at the Teacher Treasure Hunter is giving away a copy of this pack on her blog. Head over to enter ALL her awesome giveaways. 

I'm sure I will forget something that I wanted to say and have to update later. It's still early and we had a late night!

Fall Giveaway and a Freebie!

It's been awhile since I have posted a freebie... Well, here we are ladies and maybe gentlemen. I am working on a nonfiction unit for October and it's just about done. I wanted to share a little piece of it for you. Everyone, including me, does bats and spiders for October... But does anyone do cats? The spooky black cats that give you bad luck? The guardians of the afterlife? Ok. Ok. Too much for primary kiddos! Grab your nonfiction freebie below! It's just a little tiny bit of thanks for all my wonderful friends and teachers :)
