New Beginnings & Did You Say Giveaway

New Look for the Blog? Check!
Did you notice anything different about this blog today?? 
Oh you know like how BEAUTIFUL it looks??!  
That's because I know an AMAZING blog designer.  
I was blessed to meet Kristen at a blogger meet up in Tennessee this summer!

 I knew she was the one I wanted to revamp this little old blog of mine.  I didn't have a picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like, but I wanted it to have something to do with all my passions.  I said I wanted it to reflect my eclectic personality and still look professional. She was a dream to work with and took my vague ideas and made it dream come true.  

New Last Name? Check!
If you've been following me in the past year and half you've probably figured out that I was tying the knot with Mr. Right.  Maybe you read this post about the signs for engaged teachers. Or maybe it was my last fall break post about getting wedding to-do things done!  
Well... it finally happened!  
July 18, 2015 was the best day of my life so far.  
I cried, I laughed, I kissed, and there was lots of laughing.  I even had some of my blogging besties present!  I couldn't be a luckier girl!

New Grade to Teach? Check!
Like I said in my bio I am a 2nd/3rd grade looping teacher in Indy.  But this is my first year with second graders... EVER!  My first day with them I swear I had sweaty palms and quaking knees. But after a few days full of missing tooth grins, hugs, and giggles I've found I'm exactly where God wants me to be.



With all these new beginnings I thought I'd share the celebrations with everyone and do a give away to celebrate!

Giftbasket & TPT Swag for YOU?!  Check!!!!!!


The winner will get this amazing gift basket filled with some of my favorite things found at Target.  They will also be receiving a bundle of fantastic products from some of my blogging besties.
