'The Candle'

Oh wow!  No blogging for a whole month!  I guess it's time to come out of hibernation!
Spring has (almost) sprung and I am LOVING my new Bath and Body Works 'Island Magarita' candle!  You really should go run out and buy one or two right now!..unless, you have a husband that doesn't appreciate a good sale.

So,  Layton and I went to Blu Sushi for the Yummiest meal ever!  Here he is, posing with sushi.  

Sugar mama rolls! 

before...

Then, here we are looking all happy, BEFORE Layton discovered how much money I spent at Bath and Body Works on the above candle. 

He just doesn't get it...However, I did walk away with the following: 

~Two tropical 3 wick candles, 4 smelly hand soaps, and a bucket of goodies.  Smelling good isn't cheap! 

You DO NOT want to see his 'after' face.  ;(

The moral of the story for me is:  Don't shop with your husband! 

Spring break 2015 plans: 

-I am planning on creating more Teacher Pay Teachers products over the break, and just recharging before going back to work.  I know I will be a better teacher, wife, mom, sister, friend, blogger... :) once I get a few good days of coffee and The Today Show!! 

-Taking my 15 year old to get her wisdom teeth pulled! *Ouch* 

-Thanking God for His blessings! :) 

 Enjoy your week, your family, your sweet smelling candles, and thanks for stopping by my world.

So...welcome February!!  Hearts, candy and mold everywhere!

Ha.  Living in Florida, can be a playground for mold!  As I type to the lull of the drying fans and hepa filters, I hope that I can keep everyone healthy while this work gets done ASAP!

Today I want to tell you about the BEST. NIGHT. CREAM. EVER!!

Nerium AD.  I'm not just a customer, I'm the president!   (just kidding), but I AM a partner!

I am so busy with teaching, TPT and being a mom/wife, etc.... that I sometimes forget to tell the world how A.Mazing it is!  

I use it every night.  I am pretty fussy about what I put on this face. (lol), but I know this

makes the texture and overall look and feel of my skin so much better.

It's fairly new (about 4 years old).  I have samples if anyone wants to try it for a week!

Or just go to my website:

Aharwell.nerium.com

and check it out for yourself.  You can order a combo pack for $150 which includes:

night cream, day cream and The Firm (to smooth skin i.e.:  cellulite!)

You won't be sorry.

Ps.  For you Bachelor fans out there...I think the 2 on 1 date went well.  Two women, one rose, nobody stays, both goes.. (okay..so it's not grammatically correct, but it rhymes! ha)

Happy Tuesday!

Wow! Has it been a while!??   Time flies when you're teaching, momming and stuff!
The 100th day is right around the corner.  I am wracking my brain, trying to think of a fun, non-sugary fun way to make it an awesome day!  Our district is pretty strict with the wellness policy.  *sigh*
There goes the 100 scoops of ice cream activity I imagined....Maybe we will eat 100 carrots or something! ;)  I need some healthy and fun ideas please!!
 I did mosey on over to Cara Carrol's, The First Grade Parade and saw she has a bevy of SUPER ideas and get this... it's FREE!  (love her!)
I have been on my computer all morning, drinking coffee, creating products for TPT and all I can hear in the background is..
DEFLATE GATE!!  This is serious stuff guys!! ;)  (NOT)
I think they should talk about the positive things these guys are doing.  Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson, Lynch, Brady, (etc. Those are the only guys I know. ;)
Either way, it'll be a great game.  (GO HAWKS!) ;)
Happy Sunday.  (The Bachelor Eve for you Bachelor lovers!)

Last day of break (I say in my best Eeyore voice.)

 I am frantically baking cookies topped with red and green leftover M & Ms just to capture that last feeling of the holidays before it's gone for another 361 more days.  *sigh*

There goes the resolution to eat less sugar.  Oh well, there's always next year! 

Kagan training tomorrow at work.  I'm actually really excited about that.  Plus, I get to stop by Starbucks on the way to work to get a little extra caffeine.   Ya know, I have to pretend I can sit still for 8 hours.  That's super hard for teachers and people like me, with ADD.  

I will be sure to take some pictures of my classroom.  Before and After, of course.  Before the students arrive, when it's all clean and germ free.  And after, once my little muffins come back to learn, laugh and just be kids!!  I have missed them so much.  

Signing off here with a favorite quote and a picture of how I'll start tomorrow off right!

One more thing, I just posted an ABC Order product on TPT, which is pretty darn cool and everyone should run out and get one for your classroom.  Who doesn't love a good ABC order printable? ;)

Happy almost Monday.

Greetings from sunny Florida!  This is my very first post (other than Facebook :), so here it goes!!
Happy New Year y'all!  I am counting down the days of my coffee drinking, house cleaning, kid loving' vacation.  I know, I know, this picture looks like I'm on vacation everyday.  BUT, when you live here, you just take this beauty for granted, unfortunately.  I am making a new year's resolution in front of my 6 followers, that I will pretend I'm on vacation more often!
So, enjoy my new blog.  Share ideas, positivity and whatever else will help make the world a better place!
PS.  Oh yes,  forgot to introduce myself:  My name is Angie Harwell.  I have 3 kids, a husband, a dog and a cat.   I have taught first grade for 6 years now.  I have also dabbled in Pre-k, kindergarten and second.  I do love teaching primary. I just started selling on TPT and thought it would be fun to....well, when in Rome.  Okay,  thanks for listening.  I will be posting fun teaching ideas.  I also cook and secretly wish I had my own Food Network show.  Perhaps , I will post some food pictures as well.
