Teacher PRINTS---A New Look!

A couple of years ago I made a few sets {an August one and September version} of teacher printables that included fun notes to give students, thank you notes, decor posters for the classroom, and several organizational printables. While I had planned on continuing the product for each month, life happened and I wasn't able to continue making them at that time.

This summer, I've been able to tap into my creative side again and have redesigned the August and September Teacher PRINTS that I had made before. One of the main reasons I started making these printables a few years ago was to help keep me accountable for sending encouraging notes home on a regular basis. I also love having printable quotes and motivational posters to hang around my room. I plan on changing them out each month to match my mood or the season!

You can now get these new designs in my TpT shop and I wanted to give you a little preview! If you already purchased these items, you can redownload it to get the updated version under "My Purchases" on TpT. 

AND....I'm so excited to offer a growing bundle of TeacherPRINTS for the whole year! Yep, I will be designing a new set for each month. Read more about the BUNDLE below!!!

August Teacher PRINTS

I used a corner punch to round the edges on the notecards.

I like having blank checklists on a clipboard ready to go.

Fun printables to hang on your classroom door or right outside your classroom! All printables that are grade specific come in K-6 versions.

September Teacher PRINTS

Going to print this poster size {ever notice that option on your print settings?! It prints it larger {using multiple pages} and I'm going to use transparent tape to put the pages together and laminate.

Probably going to print this one poster size too for my classroom!

So, what do you think?!? I just love how both of these products turned out and I'm already working on the October version, now!

I am also offering a Teacher PRINTS BUNDLE at a significant discount! If you purchase before my October pack is added to the bundle {around 9/15/16}, you get 12 months of Teacher PRINTS for $25. That's like paying for 5 months and getting 7 free....so that's a sweet deal! After each month is added to the growing bundle...the price will increase so take advantage now!

Also, when you buy the Teacher PRINTS BUNDLE you will get exclusive freebies throughout the year that will not be for individual sale. Right now, the bundle includes the August and September Teacher PRINTS......AND and an exclusive OLYMPICS freebie!

I truly hope that you'll love Teacher PRINTS as much as I do and that it will be something fun and useful for you this year! :)

One Great Summer

I only have a few days left of summer and its so hard to believe that its coming to an end already! Our girls are seven and two and this was truly a fun and relaxing summer. Compared to the last few of having an infant and then one year old....this summer was amazing! Sure we still had nap time to get home in time for but nap time is when I get stuff done creatively, read, or watch Netflix so I don't mind being home to do that! 

We were at the pool SO much more than last year and its fun to get to just hang out and have a good time...as opposed to having an infant at the pool and an older child who wants to stay longer than the infant will allow. So, I thought I'd share some pictures from our adventures this summer to catch you up...and so I can look back later and remember them!

New School Year, New Planners

I can't believe I'm only a little over a week away from heading back to school! This summer has been so relaxing and fun and I'd love to catch y'all up with what I've been up to so I'll definitely do that soon. Today though, I wanted to share with you my new teacher planner designs!

The layout is pretty similar to my previous versions and I'm especially loving my bright and colorful striped one...which is what I printed for myself to use this school year. You can see pictures of my planner below as well as check out the other designs!

Something else that is different with the new designs is that I will be updating them each year...for FREE! So once you purchase you can download them again each school year with the new dates and calendars. :)

I also have these versions below available in the same format just different color schemes!

If you want to check out any of these planners they are available in my shop HERE! And even better they will be 20% off through this weekend so pick one up now!

March Favorites

When I am looking for new books to read or new makeup to try, I always look online to read reviews or watch a youtube video review. I love that places like sephora, target, and ulta will let me return products I try that just don't work for me, but I don't like the time wasted with trips back to the stores to have to return something.

Easy DIY Essential Oils Rollers

If you are relatively new to using essential oils then you will love this post and video! This was something that was so simple yet I didn't think about doing it until after I had used oils for a few months. Mixing my own roller bottles was so helpful to me and allowed me make the most of my awesome starter kit! I loved being able to keep the bottle of Thieves that came in the starter kit in my kitchen but also have roller bottles with diluted theives in each of my daughters' rooms which was so convenient. So...watch the video and then check out the roller bottle "recipes" or mixes below to give you some ideas to get you started!

Latest Beauty Favs

Do you ever watch makeup tutorials on youtube? A couple times a year I'll get in the mood to freshen up my makeup routine or see what new products are popular and I'll get hooked watching videos online for a few hours. I find I only ever have time to do this over a long break from school and usually during the winter. So over winter break last month I got the itch to try a few new products after I received a gift card to Sephora for Christmas.

Essential Oils: December ER Order

Here's a quick video I made to share what I purchased last month on my Young Living Essential Rewards order. I signed up for essential rewards over a year ago and each month I earn reward points back that I can use just like cash to purchase other products. A few months after I ordered my starter kit, I realized Young Living had so many different products I wanted to try AND I would be reordering some of the oils I had started using a lot {like lavender and lemon} quite frequently so it just made sense to order through Essential Rewards to earn FREE product! I hope to keep up with making a video each month to share everything I order. I LOVE getting to peek inside other people's orders to see what they love and are using. If you have any questions about essential oils or the video feel free to email me or comment below. Thanks for watching!

Get Organized: Printable Calendars

I'm excited to share these printable calendars you can use to start off twenty-sixteen prepared (even though its already the 10th!) and organized. I changed the look of this black and white calendar just a smidge but overall it looks pretty much the same! There is a landscape and a portrait version so just choose what works best for you and your notebook/binder setup or purpose for the calendar (meal planning, activity schedules, etc.)

I prefer the landscape version even though I put it in my 8.5 x 11" notebook. I just prefer the date boxes to be more square than rectangular so I don't mind turning my notebook to the side when I'm writing on it. I use a disc-bound notebook (find these here) so I can fold the entire notebook in half which makes it easy to write on without my fist/arm bumping into typical binder rings.

I also keep a copy of this calendar when scheduling my long-range plans for my classroom. I like to have a master copy that I can refer back to during the year to see when I taught different units/concepts.

Another copy hangs on my fridge for meal-planning like in the picture. I don't always plan out our meals like this every month, but its something I try to do as much as possible.

You can use these printable calendars so many different ways which is why I update them every year because I use them so much. Check out my these calendars in my Etsy shop HERE!
