It's my BIRTHDAY!

When my girl asked me what I wanted for my birthday,

all I could come up with was food LOL

(I might have a problem)

I'm thinking cinnamon rolls for breakfast

(that I bake all the time and almost never eat),

Fancy Sushi for lunch

(because it's too expensive to go any other time),

and my favorite cake for dinner

(chocolate cake with peanut butter icing).

Extra miles on the bike next week!

Best Pencil Sharpener EVER!

I know we all change the channel when infomercials come on.

I feel like an infomercial about to happen, 

but PLEASE do not change the channel:)

Has your life been a misery with unsharpened pencils?

Do your kids need to sharpen their pencils in the middle of your lesson?

Does it take them 10 minutes of grinding & it still isn't right?

Well, I have the pencil sharpener for you!!

I was very skeptical when I got it, 

(because you know how most things do not work like the advertiser says they will?!).

But, I was in LOVE from the first sharpened pencil.

It's called the Quietest Classroom Pencil Sharpener & it is AMAZING!

It takes seconds to sharpen a pencil!

Click on the picture to head over & check out their deals.

Your classroom will never be the same!

The best news of all is that, we over at 

The Teaching Tribune,

are having a giveaway & 1 of the prizes is this pencil sharpener.

In my neck of the woods we are heading back to school on August 1.
Yep, it's time already!
So here is a view of one of my projects last week.
I inherited an ANCIENT room with ANCIENT shelving and furniture.
So the way it has been spruced up over the years is paint and contact paper:)

How many layers of paint and contact paper can you put on a single shelf?
I finally got all of the contact paper out and the painting began.
I'm working on a sports theme in my room this year
& I'm doing everything in green, blue, black and white.

These 2 shelves are stuck right in the middle of my kids cubbies &

I usually keep baskets of themed books on them.

This year, I am kicking off the Daily 5,

so I am going to house their individual book baskets here.

Since it's a sports theme, I couldn't resist these super cute buckets from the Dollar Tree.

They are big enough to hold a folder and their books.
I am soooo excited about these!

And this is what it looks like.
When I get the whole wall of shelves looking acceptable, I'll post this again.
For now, I'm happy with it:)

Enjoy your Monday and don't forget about the hop!
