I'm Baaaaaaaack!!!!


It should say from December through February!!!  I wish I could give the excuse that I was abducted by aliens and that's why I have not been blogging.   Ahhhh life.... it has a way of interrupting my blogging world.  Sorry friends for my lateness.  I am TRYING to get better about posting.... I know you can't tell.... but I have set a goal for at least one post a week.  Did I say that back in November??? Yikes!!!

Here are some changes happening in my world that have taken my time from blog land:
  1. I became the Children's Director for my church and teach every Sunday for Children's Church and Wednesday nights.   More lesson planning, but I love it!
  2. Everyone I know seems to be pregnant except me.  You know what that means.... baby showers!!!!  I have been super busy going to them and planning them.  (see post on that coming soon)
  3. VBS is fast approaching and I have about a billion ideas swarming in my head that I cant wait come into fruition. 
  4. Zumba workouts!!! Do you Zumba??? Oh. My. Goodness.  LOVE IT!!! Can already feel my waist coming back and my butt lifting up.  Look out summer.... here I come.
  5. My husband is a gamer and plays Skyrim.... and I am obsessed with watching him play.  Who else is going to warn him when he is about to be killed by dragon??  Plus its quality time we get to spend together.  I really look forward to it. 
Blah blah blah.  Enough of that.  Well that's all I have to say on that... guess I will write another post on that baby shower I did last week.  

Hope y'all have an awesome week!  And please don't give up on me!  I promise I will get better.....promise!!!

It's been FOR-EV-ER.... FOR-EV-ER

Don't you just love the movie The Sandlot??  I use that quote all the time with my kids.... "Y'all are taking FOR-EV-ER....."   Most of them have no clue as to what I am referring, but I just start smiling. 

Anyway lots of changes going on....

I am now the Children's Ministry Director for my church and I am absolutely loving it.  I love working with  the kids, teaching them about Jesus, and learning myself.  It is definitely a challenge trying to relate things to their level of understanding, but I am enjoying it so much!   The only downfall is my lack of time in blog land.  I need so make myself some kind of schedule or something... hmm.....

Anyway I wanted to leave y'all with a couple of videos that I found on YouTube that have been helping me immensely in teaching fractions (scream you know you want to.... ) and elements and compounds.  I am in the works of planning a time for my kids to make a video based on Mr. Duey's Fraction video.  It's so great when I hear my kids rapping his song, or asking if they can hear the element song again. 



Wait... what was that... you want to learn some more??  Why of course I'll play that video again!  Roll that beautiful education footage!
