24 Inches of Snow and Counting!
NYC schools are closed today. We received less snow than anticipated, but on Long Island where I live the snow is still falling. I enjoy cooking when it snows. My plan for today is to work on Valentine's Day and 100th Day of School freebies/products and to make beef stew.

Celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with this early childhood activity pack. These activities are a perfect follow up after reading about Dr. King. Included are a variety of simple coloring pages and writing templates with spaces large enough for little hands to experience success.
Happiness Jar Anyone?
What a great idea! In this video Oprah and Elizabeth Gilbert discuss keeping a thirty day happiness journal. I'm going to create a happiness jar. Let's practice a little gratitude - it can't hurt.
January Currently
Super excited to hook up with Farley over at Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the first CURRENTLY of 2015. Here goes...
LISTENING: I absolutely LOVE this song. It's perfect if you're reflecting on the past and thinking about the future.
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

LOVING: I'm trying these 48 hour experiments from E-Squared by Pam Grout. They really do work. It's about positive thinking. So many wonderful things have been happening since I started about a year ago.
THINKING: I will definitely take down the Christmas tree today. Had the kids and husband bring all the storage containers upstairs. Can't turn back now - UGH!
WANTING: I've been trolling furniture sites looking for a desk for weeks. I think this one might look great in my bedroom. What do you think?
NEEDING: I looked for my cell phone off and on for a few hours yesterday. I finally FOUND IT in the middle of the night under a black scarf. Sneaky little thing...
YES: I haven't been this excited about a NEW YEAR in a long time. Saying YES to endless possibilities.
MAYBE: I am going to start meditating. It's time to tune out some of the technology because it can become an addiction. I'm doing my research now, gathering my resources, and planning out my space.
I WISH: I plan the staff parties at school and I'm constantly told I should open a business. I think I might actually like to do this. I'm planning for a hot chocolate bar this coming Tuesday. Pictures will follow.
HAPPY 2015!!!
