Thunder Up

I am Oklahoma born and raised and love, love, LOVE that place. Staying true to my roots, I am a proud Thunder fan...with no gear.

zero, zilch, none!

I just haven't come across anything cute. And living in Texas (aka Mav's Country) there's no chance of finding anything either.

I found these shirts on Pinterest and of course...no website was sited. Err!!! Has anyone ever seen them? Where in the world can I get these shirts?!?

Anyone???

Hey Girl

My sister sent me THIS blog last night and it was so cute I had to share. I sent it to the teachers at my school today and they, of course, loved it too. I hope you enjoy...I did and I'm not even a major Ryan Gosling fan :)

Hey Girl...

Best Pencil Sharpener EVER

UPDATE!!! (5/23)

This pencil sharpener is still as great as it was the day I got it! We all love it! 

A few weeks ago I contacted Troy to see if he would let me review his pencil sharpener I've heard sooo much about.

 My kids seriously go through 4-5 pencil sharpeners a year and have just successfully broken my $60 electric pencil sharpener I splurged on a year ago. So, I am desperately searching...

These sharpeners are just under $20, but they have specials if you are ordering more than one. 

Last week I got a special delivery...this blue beauty! 

This is what you get. It took me a second to figure out what the other part was, but my teammate quickly informed me that it was the clamp. 

This is how it works. You squeeze the black clips and pull out the silver part, then slide your pencil in.

 You put your hand on the blue part and the other hand turns the handle. It took some getting use to for me. I'm so used to holding the actual pencil...but there's no need for that on this one! 

Check out the tip on this pencil! WOW!!

This is a picture using the clamp.

I should also mention that this pencil sharpener makes NO NOISE! Its sooo quiet! I love this thing! I've only had it a week...so I will keep you updated, but as of now, I'm in the process of getting my principal to order more for our school!!!

Overall, this pencil sharpener gets a A+ from this teacher!

Go over and get yours now

Quietest Classroom Pencil Sharpener

Shammy Says Review

A few weeks ago, a girl I went to high school with asked her friends to reply to her status with our favorite recipe on Facebook. So I did. I had just cooked lasagna the night before and my mouth was STILL watering. So naturally, I posted this link for my lasagna. 

Anyways...Caroline over at Shammy Says does reviews on food that she tries.

To be honest, when she told me she was going to review it, I got a little nervous. I knew we loved it...but other people??? AND...I had to please her husband??? Yikes. Here is her picture.

You can read her review over my lasagna here. Check out her other reviews too...she's quite the character. :)

Promethean Board HELP!

I FINALLY got the Promethean Board I ordered last May! Nothing like an eight month wait..

So the good news is that I have my board and get to start playing with the software and borrowing flip charts :) Feel free to send me anything math related!!!

The bad news is...

I think this is soooo ugly how its just placed on top of my chalkboard. I didn't have any free space on the walls so I had to put it there...but UGH! I don't know if you can tell, but there is a good 5-6 inch "breezeway" in-between the chalkboard a P-Board. Eye sore for reals. So blogger friends...any suggestions on how to make this area cute? I'm normally pretty good with decorating but this time I just can't get past the eye sore to think straight. HELP!!!!
