The Diaries of Aunt Katie

6 months ago I became an Aunt to the most beautiful baby girl ever! I just realized that I'm 2 months into my blog experience and I haven't blogged about Miss Harper yet! She is seriously SO MUCH fun! I know everyone loves to see cute baby pictures, so I thought I'd share one of my favorites from each month of her life. :)

Mmm mmm mmm! Harper, Aunt Katie loves you soooooo MUCH!

Teacher Idea Thursday

The idea I am going to share today is our Math Journal. All the things I'm sharing are of course Math related but this could be used for any subject area and really just about any grade. Like I shared last time, one of the biggest things we struggle with is getting our kids to learn the vocabulary.  I figure if we learn it in a creative way...just maybe we'll remember it. :)

My Math Journal is filled with foldables. I LOVE foldables!!! There are of course other things in it, but these are the pictures I'm sharing...

Prime and Composite Numbers

Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

Multiplication

Our God is Greater

I'm going to be taking a break from Teacher Idea's today and would like to ask anyone reading this blog to please say a prayer for my dad. He's in the hospital facing a major surgery tomorrow. I'm headed home today to be with him and my family. PLEASE pray for him and that our God will completely and totally heal his body! Please pray for him to not be in pain. Please pray for him to have a peaceful heart. Please pray for me to have the courage to never forget that God is in complete control and to keep me calm as I face this storm with my family.  This has been a hard 24 hours...something I always hoped I would never have to deal with. A good friend of mine sent me the lyrics to this song last night and I am singing it over and over in my head especially when I start to get scared and my mind starts thinking "what if." This is sooo true...Our God is Greater, Our God is Stronger, God You are higher than any other, our God is Healer, Awesome in Power Our God, Our God, so if our God is for us than who can stand against us? 





I love my dad with all my heart..

Reminiscing on the Challenge

The Outfits...Day 1- 30

It's OVER...DAY 30!!!

I did it! The 30/30 Challenge is O.V.E.R!!!! I really didn't think I'd make it to the end...especially after Lindsey got me into the whole challenege and then left me high and dry. I had a few cheater days, but for good reason. Either my boss made me, I was on vacation or it was OSU game day and I HAD to support my Cowboys! :) I thought I'd have a little fun with this one. Enjoy my celebratory pose. lol

Shirt- F21 (Natalie's Shirt)

Shorts- Gap

Shoes- Target

Jewelry- F21

Now the big question...what on EARTH will I blog about now?!?! Any daily blogging ideas? I have something going on Thursdays...so someone give me something. (Or else you might only start hearing from me on Thursday's!)

ONE MORE DAY!

I'm not gonna even lie, I am sooo excited tomorrow is the LAST day of my 30/30 Challenge! I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe I can wear after tomorrow. I definitely didn't plan go when I picked out my clothes! Most of my shirts had to have a cardigan on top in order to wear it to school...which probably gave the appearance like it was somewhat cool here. It's not...try 95 degrees. 

Shirt- Express

Skirt- Banana Republic

Shoes- Payless

OSU Style

In the spirit of yesterday's win and College Week coming up soon at school, I've been searching the net today looking for cute OSU apparel. (Oklahoma State that is) As I was looking I found some cute shirts that I might need to add to my wardrobe...and I was also very impressed at some of the selections I found.
Here are some of the cute things I might need here soon...

Back in the day, when we went to football games we all wore t-shirts. Maybe there towards the end we started dressing our t-shirts up a little with some jewelry. But look at all these cute choices now!!! (courtesy of ketchthespirit.com)
