Father's Day Board Books with Instagram!

So this is the first year both my husband and I will be celebrating Mother's Day and Father's Day since Max was born in April.

For Father's Day, I wanted to make my husband a board book that he can read with Max throughout his toddler years.  And since it's Father's Day, I wanted to make something specifically about the two of them.  Here's the final product!

Student & Baby File Organization

Ok, so a couple of years ago, my school had an auction as a fundraiser and each class was supposed to create an artistic or recycled item to auction off.  I wanted to come up with something useful that anyone could bid on and have it not be too specific to our classroom.  A room parent, knowing my freakish need for planning ahead and organization, donated an older file cabinet and asked if I could use it in any way.  Yeah!  On top of that, she helped me with the creation of the project.

Haha, quite fitting that the picture of this file cabinet is in front of my "Get Organized" poster!

I feel students don't mind staying organized if they had something "fun" and it applied to them.  So I thought about myself as an elementary and high school student.  What sorts of things did I keep?  What would I need to keep track of that I may not think about at first?  The answers to these questions led to the files I inserted below.

The Time Has Come!!!

I gave birth to baby Max on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 4:24 PM.  He weighed in at 5 pounds, 8 ounces and was 18.5 inches long with a head diameter of 13.25 inches.  He was a bit on the small side, but is healthy and has been putting on weight since!

So all my long term sub planning went really well and even though I delivered a week early, I was pretty well prepared.  My sub and I spent the week working together before that Saturday and when I knew I was going into labor, I felt GOOD (about the class being left to someone else)!
