Because I know that I'm actually lucky to have both of my girls still home at my age while most of my friends are empty nesters already...

Finding Joy in the little things on this Sunday...

Anyone want to help an elementary sped teacher restock IEP supplies? We need copy paper 🤦🏼‍♀️, "Sign here" flags, and envelopes for sending home IEPs, progress reports, and other parent communications. TIA 😘 amzn.to/3wSaJBW #specialeducation #Texas #clearthelist

It's getting colder! Anyone need ear warmers? $10 each $4 postage per lower 48 US address no matter how many you order #crochet #sidehustle #supportateacher

🤷🏼‍♀️ This has never been more of a real thought than this year. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyways, anyone want to help a special education teacher get some much needed supplies? #specialeducation #Texas #clearthelist #shortstaffed amzn.to/3wSaJBW

My project for office and school supplies for my resource room is currently being matched with a 1.5x match ($10=$15). Can you help with a small tax deductible donation? You can give as little as $1. bit.ly/3IyMu5J

Happy Sunday! I'm a #specialeducation teacher in #Texas. This is the first weekend since we returned to school July 30 that I have not worked all weekend. I forgot what down time was like. #clearthelist amzn.to/3wSaJBW #Selfcare amzn.to/3rLgRd6 Teachers, drop your lists below!!

I'm excited for a new year at a new school. I will be sharing a room with 2 other sped teachers so I need to condense my storage space. I have $10 gift cards on my list to help me purchase two cabinets. TIA! amzn.to/3wSaJBW #specialeducation #clearthelist #Texas #Year24

It's July which means I head back to school at the end of the month. I have a very short list this year. Only 4 needs remain. I appreciate any support.😘TIA 🍎Elementary Special education Inclusion & Resource 🍎New school 🍎Year 24 amzn.to/3wSaJBW #specialeducation #Texas #clearthelist #BacktoSchool

Happy #Wednesday and Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to my fellow educators!! This is year 23 for me and I can't imagine doing anything else - even on the toughest days. #Selfcare #wishlist amzn.to/3rLgRd6 amzn.to/3wSaJBW #specialeducation #Texas #clearthelist

Good morning from the crosswalk. Only 4 more Monday alarms!

Stayed up late. Woke up early with the storms. I should work on IEPs but I'm going to sit here and crochet instead. #crochet #specialeducation

I don't feel well this morning so I'm going to sit here in my pj's all day and crochet. Time to start a new project. #crochet

I've had 3 purchased from Facebook friends and family. I only need ONE more. Is there anyone else who would like to gift one of these pattern books to my Crochet Club? #crochet #teacher

Just let me panic first. 17 IEPs. 12 of them initials. 4 written last week. Now to write 13 more IEPs in the next 3 weeks. I'm still waiting on FIEs for 8 initials. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will not panic. I will not panic. Don't worry. I already panicked and worked out a game plan. 😁

Happy Friday!!!! It's an absolutely gorgeous day here in North Texas.

We only have 1 more week of Crochet Club left. It would be amazing to gift them these books next week. 🥰 #clearthelist amzn.to/3wSaJBW

This afternoon's project. I think he turned out cute. 😻 #crochet

When storms wake you up at 3:30 am, you make chickens. 😁 #crochet

This is a BIG ask, I know. I have 4 students that have been in Crochet Club since we started in the fall. I would absolutely love to get them this book by Crochet by Genna. They have all come such a long way and I want them to continue their skills. #clearthelist #crochet amzn.to/3wSaJBW

Crochet Club. (3rd-4th graders) They all picked out bees to make along with some other projects. I ♥️ that when they are working at home on their projects and they get to a stitch in their pattern that they don't understand or I haven't taught them yet that they are getting on YouTube to learn.

I have two sets of 4 sunflower coasters available. $25 each set. #teacher #sidehustle #crochet

I'm in love with this Sunflower. You can use it as a keychain or a bag charm. Let me know! $10 + postage 4" diameter

Help me fulfill a dream of mine of going to the San Diego Zoo this summer when I'm there for a teacher retreat. I have these baby blankets that are ready for a baby to wrap around. $10 priority shipping (US lower 48) #MakingMemories #ImpactRetreat #ImpactRetreat2025

Hot off the hook. #crochet

Hot off the hook! #crochet

I just watched the launch live. Anyone else have PTSD watching these from our childhood trauma of watching the Challenger?

Pi Day!

I just made a grilled cheese with cheddar on sourdough bread. Nothing spectacular BUT I sprinkled everything seasoning on the cheese before I put the top slice on. Game changer!

Last day of my official #SpringBreak.😢 Took a few minutes and did some adulting - cleaned and organized our bathroom cabinet.🤪 Now ... I'm going to sit on my 🍑 and #crochet. I think these will make a pretty tote. 😍

Zazzles is not spoiled at all. At. All. She stole a bin that I used to keep yarn in and made it her bed. She stole my throw blanket and now she has stolen my decorative pillow. Yes, her head is on said pillow while the blanket is draped over it all.

What I'm working on today... Lip balm key chains. Large for Vaseline lip therapy or traditional Chapstick size. #crochet #SpringBreak

Hot off the hook! #crochet

Well it's the first day of Spring Break and I'm taking my car in for a recall. 🤦🏼‍♀️ One day maybe I'll actually do something over Spring Break. Who am I kidding? It's my 23rd Spring Break as a teacher and I only have 2 left. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I finished a pocket scarf today. Or at least I thought I did. I realized I stitched a pocket on wrong. When I went to take it apart I cut the wrong piece and I'm now taking a nap. 😭 #crochet

Anyone need a baby blanket? Prices on pics + shipping TBD. Help me save up for my summer trip to California. #handmade #homemade #crochet #teacher #travels #selfcare

Just finished another WIP. It feels so good to get something done. Now to finish a special request WIP. #crochet #springbreak #teacher

Not the best picture because of the shadows but 1 WIP completed. 6 more to go. I will not start a new project. I will not start a new project. I will not start a new project. I will not start a new project. #crochet

Such a gorgeous day. Back in one of my happy places. #frontporch #crochet

*Self-care List Drop* This short week did me in. I slept for over 9 hours the last 2 nights. I have items for crochet, bracelets, travel, and reading on my list - all my self-care! What's on your list? #teacher #Selfcare #Sunday amzn.to/3rLgRd6

I bought myself a new tool instead of using paper and pencil to keep track of my rounds/rows. #crochet

Can you help a fellow teacher at my school? #clearthelist #teacher #classroom #flexibleseating #bilingual #Texas www.donorschoose.org/project/did-...

I took a break from crocheting a baby blanket and made a knit beanie and a mini pig 🐷 today. 😍 #crochet #sidehustle #PresidentsDay #noschool

Anyone want to help a special education teacher restock? Where in the world have all of my dry erase erasers gone and I've used the same dry erase markers for two years and they are pretty much goners at this point (and they are on sale!). amzn.to/3wSaJBW #specialeducation #Texas #clearthelist

I couldn't quite describe how I was feeling until I saw this. So true. 😢

No school/work today. For the first time in I don't know when I slept past 7 am. It's 8 am and I'm still laying in bed scrolling on my phone. I don't plan on doing anything productive today. I plan on being lazy, watching Netflix, and crocheting.

Current #crochet project.

The lighting was just right in my bedroom this morning so I took some updated pictures of my inventory shelves. 😁 I think I'm going to work on an unfinished baby blanket today instead of starting a new project. Let me know if you see something you like! #crochet
