Five for Friday

http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com/2015/02/five-for-friday-linky-party-february_20.html
God Bless Linky Parties! It seems like it has been the only thing to get my act together in this blogging world lately! So here is my Five for Friday for this week!
So on my last blog post, I was wishing for some snow and boy did that wish come true! We had an early release day on Monday and have been out of school ever since! I celebrated our early release on Monday with Chick-fil-a! The iced coffee is free for the month of February! I had the Chick-fil-a calendar card to get the chicken minis for free and I purchased the half and half tea for lunch! All that for a whopping total of $1.91! I love a good deal!

In North Carolina when the kids have snow days, teachers have work days.
BUM TOWN USA!
I did take Tuesday and Wednesday off to enjoy the snow!
How cute is our little home!!
With the snow days, I did take time to finish a project I have been planning for what seems like forever! My mom gave me this window when I moved to North Carolina and I knew that I was going to put some pictures of the Mister and I in it. Well, over two years later, I did it! Here is the finished product. I love it!
 
Since the Mister and I are just about settled in the new house, I have been looking for ways to make our house feel more like our home. I saw a pin the other day of a prayer wall and I am so loving the idea of making my own! I think it will be so awesome to look over all the prayers that I have had over the year and see how God has worked into my life! Here are the inspiration pictures!

 So excited to get started on my own!

I am getting ready to post my first product on Teachers Pay Teachers! EEK!!! I am so excited about this product! It is called Sight Words Scoops and it has completely changed how I teach sight words! A blog post is coming this weekend to explain all the details! For now, here are a few sneak peek pictures!

  3. Hi Lindsey! I love how you are sharing your faith-- I might follow you with the prayer wall idea! I have a prayer space in a little loft in our home, and I have been looking for ideas. Your house is adorable too! :) I am fairly new to blogging/TPT and would love to connect sometime!

  5. Hi Alma! I just love your name! It is so unique! I am so glad you decided to stop by Chalkboard Charm! Megan Farve from A Bird In Hand Designs designed my blog for me last year and I just love it!!! She's super amazing! I will definitely buy more windows for our house!
