Happy Anniversary

It's been 1 year since I married the love of my life, and what an AMAZING year it has been!


Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge: your people shall be my people, and your God my God
Ruth 1:16

Poor Baby

Molly's been sick for about 3 weeks now. First it was a "cold" then it was a double ear infection and we started our first round of antibiotics. After this week's visit with Dr. L I feel like a pharmacist.

She's on Zyrtec for possible air born allergies (thank you cedar) until April. They moved her from amoxicillin to augmentin, which brings lots of yucky tummy troubles so to combat that she's on a pro-biotic powder. To top it all off she's getting Motrin for the pain. The Boogie Wipes are awesome in case you're wondering.

My poor little peanut, month 6 isn't treatin' you so well. Hopefully we'll get it all taken care of and get my happy girl back! And just for good measure, in case all the medicine didn't work, there was a dose of Thin Mints given.

“For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 30:17)

Classroom Makeover

So I was BEYOND tired of the penguin theme in my classroom. It was cute when I was "Miss Pepe's Penguins" but after 5 years of the same thing I was ready for a change of scenery.

Here's the Before (this is from A REALLY LONG time ago)


Here are the after shots.

I added table group signs that hang from the ceiling, and supply caddies to each group.

I changed up the homework board & the Mrs. Mahan board behind my desk.

I changed the calendar area as well


The file cabnet labels are fun

Our Job Chart and reminder magnets


My favorite is the bookshelf I painted. It used to be this awful bright yellow laminated wood, now it's a cool ocean breeze color


I also changed our outside board where we display all our fabulous work. It says "Look What We Did"



The last thing I did was take down our "data center" and put up an "I can" board. There's also a little basket to store their "I can" journals in. Here's a close up of the journals.
