You May Be a Pinterest Addict If...

You become an author of a blog to talk about all those amazing pins we pin

AND

You forget to cook supper because you are too engrossed in pinning and then you realize you were hungry because you forgot to cook supper.

Hi there everyone. 

My name is Heidi and I blog over at My (Not So) Elementary Life and I am guilty as charged with the above. I am a Pinterest Addict.
They say the first step to recovering is admitting you have a problem. I have an addiction and I am going to join some other amazing ladies and feed on work through that addiction :)

Tanja is brilliant to have come up with this. She asked if anyone would be an author or even read a blog like this and about several dozen of us were like...um of course :)

So a little bit about me:

I am a twenty something first year, first grade teacher. I only taught for half a year for I only graduated in December and landed myself a full time job immediately thereafter so I guess I won't have my first year in until December. I am impatiently patiently waiting to know if I will have a job next year for they shut down the school I was at and there is talk of not needing all of the teachers :( I am on the job hunt once more, just in case I don't have something for next year. Fingers crossed I will have a teaching home in a few short months :)

I am newly married (one year in September) to my best friend. I couldn't be happier.

I love God and love that He is in control of everything. I don't have to worry about things in life because I know he has it all under control :)

I love teaching children and creating meaningful learning experiences for them.

I am not a patient person and am working to overcome this.

I love Pinterest and cannot wait to be able to check all of my pins off of my to-do list. 

So now enough about me and onto some of my current favs :)

I love this for next to the sink in the classroom. It might just help those forgetful brilliant minds to wash their hands.

Ruler+Clothespins=Simple Teachery way to display student work :) I love how you can DIY this to what your classroom theme is and can use things you have laying around to create it.

And one last one for the day

I LOVE how simple this banner is and it can be tweaked to fit any classroom or any holiday theme you have in your home. I plan on doing this one and hanging it from my mantle for the holidays coming up :)
 
I will stop for today. I cannot wait to see what everyone else is pinning. You can follow me on Pinterest HERE.
 
Also, I would love it if you stopped by my blog and said hi. You can do so HERE.

Have a great week :)




My name is Natalie, and I'm a Pinaholic...

Hey yall!

My name is Natalie, and I blog over at Teachery Tidbits.

I am sooo excited to be a part of this new, awesome blog! Tanja, you're a genius!

Now, a little bit about me... :)

I am a twenty-something teacher that recently relocated from the big city of Atlanta, GA down to my hometown of Augusta, GA. I taught first grade for 2 years while living in Atlanta, but am currently looking for my forever home. Fingers crossed that I will find something down here!

I am a southern gal, and say 'yall'.....alot! And I don't bother putting an apostrophere, because in my mind, its just one word :)

I love blogging about my classroom adventures, creating engaging and fun activities for my littles, stalking Pinterest, and making my life easier by being an active DIYer!

On to some of my current favorite pins!

I think we have probably all seen the melted crayon art by now, but I love the spin on this one! Who would have thought to turn it upside down???

Mod Podge switchplates....oh the ideas!

This one makes me smile, because I have a current obsession with Mod Podge. I mean, can you even imagine how cool a room would look with some of these???

My classroom theme the past year (and next year) is owls, so I am currently on the hunt! This is one of my projects for this weekend. I actually found some lanterns in my classroom colors for $2.50 a piece...score!!!

I actually picked up the letters to do this one last week...guess I should get started on it! Saturday afternoon activity? I think so!!!

I love this one! I am going to make it for my classroom, except I am going to try and find pencils that are in my classroom colors (teal, lime green, brown, pink, purple, and orange). It looks so simple, and I love the little chalkboard!

I really could go on and on, but I guess I'll stop for today :)

I would also love for you to come check out my teaching blog :)

Happy Weekend, yall!!!

Hi!

I know most of you know me already, but I'll do a little intro post and share some of my favorite pins.

I'm Tanja aka Ms. T from Journey of a Substitute Teacher. I live in Oregon and we finally have sun! I love to read, listen to music, cook/bake, and of course, craft.

Some of my favorite pins (this is kind of hard, because I love them all!)...

I love all the ideas from other teachers online. And I love art projects that I can do with kids too!
