OK, maybe not that long, but it certainly feels like it. We've been super busy in the O'Neil household. So many things going on and so little time to write.<br />
<br />
And, I'll be honest....when there is time to write, I'm probably doing something A LOT less productive. Like watching tv or sleeping.<br />
<br />
But I think about you guys all the time! I promise!!<br />
<br />
Earlier this week I was talking with Mike, my husband for those of you who forgot, and he said to me, "Have you posted in your blog lately?" And for Mike to even think about my blog is something. I told him no and he replied, "So none of your blog friends or followers even know whats going on?". And I got to thinking....<br />
<br />
Unless you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crooksy532/">Instagram</a> or Snapchat (leggs532)....you have no idea!! Well...we have some news! And this time it's not a teaser!!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Yup. You read that right!! No more dranks for me! I have to admit it's been a long 5 months, so far....but I'm holding over with some O'Douls and mocktails. Not as much fun, but I can deal, I guess. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So believe me, my posts would be boring and baby based if I was still blogging. Not as much fun as my old ones. But, I'll eventually be back, I hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I do have to admit that it's been kind of nice not "having" to blog. I used to stress about how many posts I got in a week and whether or not I would lose followers if I didn't blog, and truth is....there are more important things than blogging. At least for me right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

So....for the moment, if you want to keep up with the daily struggles of pregnant, non-drinking Kristin.....follow me on Instagram or Snapchat!!</div>

Life seriously got hectic this summer and truthfully, I have no excuse other than...the moments I could sit and relax felt too good to give up. So...I'm taking a short hiatus. Probably only a few weeks, so don't forget about me! Once school gets underway you can count on some interesting stories. Until then...Cheers!</p>

Happy Thursday! Are you thursty yet? <br />
<br />
I know, I know. It's another throwback, but it's better than not doing anything at all, right? Sorry guys. But....today is my last student day for the summer so I should be back to normal next week!!! I promise!! Until then.....<br />

It's been so absolutely gorgeous over these past few days and this weekend. It rained a little but my plants could totally have used it and now they are blooming beautifully!!<br />
<br />
This week I tried out another beer cocktail. I loved <a href="http://hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com/2015/02/thurstythursday-beer-ry-vodka-spritzer.html">the last one</a> and since it's so nice outside I thought I would make something we could keep in a pitcher and just pour. We usually have our goto <a href="http://hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com/2013/06/thirsty-thursday-linkup-party-6.html">Arnold Palmeranians</a> stocked up in the fridge but they're getting a little old lately, so this is a great change.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awniUNBsdHI/VV0f22Y1K0I/AAAAAAAAEgM/XHG-yclCawg/s1600/20150520_184038%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awniUNBsdHI/VV0f22Y1K0I/AAAAAAAAEgM/XHG-yclCawg/s640/20150520_184038%2B1.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
One thing that's really nice about this is how refreshing it is. Beer sometimes bloats me in the summertime but it's so much easier to grab a beer and do yard work then have to keep track of your cocktail and keep mixing. This is a little of the best of both worlds.<br />
<br />
And the raspberry. I love how it adds just enough flavor without overpowering the cocktail with a fruity taste. It keeps it light, but blends in nicely with the pink lemonade.<br />
<br />
<i><u><span style="font-size: large;">Raspberry Beer Cocktail</span></u></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">1 cup raspberries, frozen or fresh</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">2/3 container pink lemonade concentrate, or raspberry lemonade concentrate.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup vodka</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">3 Coronas</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Add raspberries and muddle just a little. Add pink lemonade, and vodka to pitcher. Mix well. Pour Coronas into mixture. Enjoy!! Cheers!</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Happy Thursty Thursday!!</span></div>
<br />
Here we are on Thursday already. I'm sorry this week got away from me again. I haven't been able to do much blogging over this summer but I hope to be better. I know I said that on Monday but I'm sure once my summer program is over and I can get back on track I'll be good.<br />
<br />
Until then, you can...almost...always count on my for Thursty Thursday!!<br />
<br />
A friend posted a video to my Facebook timeline last week and when I watched it I knew it would be my next Thursty Thursday drink. It looked so delicious and refreshing and with our 90 degree temps lately I couldn't wait to make it and feel it slide down my throat. It didn't disappoint. It was super refreshing and delicious, but not as sweet as I had anticipated. I think next time I would experiment with a little simple syrup rather than just add sugar right to the mixture. Maybe even a little juice of some type or more triple sec.<br />
<br />
But either way, if you like watermelon you will love this!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><u>Watermelon Margarita</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>3.5 cups watermelon, cubed</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>1/2 cup tequila</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>3 tbsp. lime juice</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>2 tbsp. sugar</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>1 tbsp. triple sec</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>lime for garnish</i></div>
<br />
Cit a slice of lime and run it around the rim of the glass. Then rim the glass in sugar. In a blender, blend watermelon, tequila, lime juice, sugar, and triple sec. Add ice to sugar rimmed glass. Pour over ice. Cheers!!<br />

Sorry for the little hiatus. Summer is always a little crazy and this one is no different. The new summer job is a little stressful but I'm having fun with it and enjoying not having to actually <span style="font-style: italic;">teach</span> this summer. Plus I've been spending some time with the little cuties above and I wouldn't take that time away for anything.<br />
<br />
Aaaand...I'm sorry for missing Thursty Thursday last week. Truthfully I completely forgot until Thursday night. By then I figured it was too late. I promise I'll try to be a little better this week.<br />
<br />

I posted this one a while back, but it's really more of a summer drink so I'm reposting. No complaining. It's for your own good!!<br />
<br />
I was sitting just the other day, telling Mike that I wanted to make more of that Bourbon Slush. This is so good and would be the perfect cool down for these hot hot days we've been having. Matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I could sit outside in a kiddie pool with one of these in my hand all day and be totally content.<br />
<br />
I have to say I wasn't much of a bourbon drinker until this drink....and now I crave it. So yummy. So refreshing. So slushy!!!!<br />

This week my Pinterest did the work for me. I was thinking about a drink this week that used watermelon and cucumber and wanted to name is something 4th of July-ish and low and behold....as soon as I opened up Pinterest, this came up! Thank you Pinterest God's!<br />
<br />
I've heard so much about cucumber vodka and how refreshing it is. I've seen so many cucumber mojitos and even a cucumber sangria. I knew when I grabbed that cucumber from the produce stand of our Food Lion it was time! Time my friends!!<br />
<br />
Then....something miraculous happened. Mike's parents came over for dinner and brought watermelon! OK, so it's not exactly "miraculous"...but it started ringing some bells!! What's more refreshing in the summertime than watermelon? But...watermelon and cucumber? Together? Hmmm. Not so sure about that one.<br />
<br />
So, I turned to Pinterest for some ideas...and boy did it deliver!! Now...as usual I changed it around a little. I kind of combined two recipes, <a href="http://www.creative-culinary.com/the-firecracker-watermelon-lime-and-cucumber-cocktail/">this</a> one and <a href="http://www.thehappierhomemaker.com/2015/06/cucumber-watermelon-cocktail/#_a5y_p=3872320">this</a> one, but let me tell you how delicious this is It even came with the perfect name!!<br />

Hello everyone! This is Tiffany. This week I chose this post because it is so true! I don't know why, but people say the weirdest things to pregnant people. I resonated with so many points of this post. I still remember a lady looking at me when I was at the gym and about 36 weeks and saying, out loud, "Wow, are you gonna have your baby today?"! I was totally embarrassed. This is a great list to read and remember for all your pregnant friends.<br />

Well..to be honest, it's Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer, but root beer works when I can't find that. So...when my neighbor showed me this Not Your Father's Root Beer Ale, I knew I would love it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9uTl6mvwd0/VYsYgCbxeiI/AAAAAAAAEuw/wJfGij2HBNQ/s1600/20150613_185525.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9uTl6mvwd0/VYsYgCbxeiI/AAAAAAAAEuw/wJfGij2HBNQ/s400/20150613_185525.png" width="265" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Let me start with this....if you don't like beer, but you like root beer, this is for you. This 'ish is amazing. Like for real amazing. And probably super dangerous because it tastes just like regular old root beer and it's 10% ABV. No lie. I had to ask him if it was actually beer because all I tasted was root beer. DANGER DANGER!! I've even had this one on ice. haha.<br />
<br />
Here's the description from their <a href="http://smalltownbrewery.com/our-beers/?age-verified=a610212e78">website</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #999999;">Kovac passed down his familyās beer making tradition by working tirelessly with his son to craft the first version of āNot Your Fatherās Root Beer.ā At 10% ABV, the silky, smooth and satisfying finish is unmatched in flavor. It appeals to craft beer aficionados as well as those who donāt typically drink beer but crave something unique.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #999999;">The award-winning āNot Your Fatherās Root Beerā achieved a 95 rating from Beer Advocate and is a very popular choice at several Chicagoland bars. Small Townās personally delivered āNot Your Fatherās Root Beerā kegs consistently sell out at taverns across the Chicago area.<br /><br /><br />As Small Town Brewery continues to roll out new craft beers, Kovac is intent on providing the beer loving public with unique flavors that continue his familyās beer-making tradition. Available on draft and in bottles.</span></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can only imagine how delicious this would be in a beer cocktail. I'm thinking take this and add a little spiced rum?? Kind of like a captain and root beer?? Can you even fathom how delicious that would be?? And so super dangerous. But who cares......yummmmmmmmmm.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So tell me, what do you think?? Would you drink this? Any suggestions for beer cocktails with it?</div>

So far things are going smoothly. I'm learning so much and it's so interesting seeing things from another point of view. So far so good, pray for me. #keepupthehappythoughts #letshopeitstaysthisway<br />

I have a feeling I'm not going to get the opportunity to blog that often this summer. Don't leave me!! I'll be back as soon as school starts back up. Who knows, maybe I'll get more time then I thought I would but a lot of my blogging happened before school started the past few months, and now that I'm trying to get to the gym in the mornings I won't have too much time. Maybe I can plan my Sundays for blogging days, but I'm hoping to actually get to spend some more time with my husband this summer so...we'll see. #staywithme #illbeback #terminatorquotes<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Join us every Tuesday at 7am (MST). This blog hop focuses on </span><i style="color: #444444;"><b>content</b></i><span style="color: #444444;">. LINK UP YOUR FAVORITE POST from last week in this fun content-sharing blog hop! I love the idea of blog hopping, but I love the idea of reading posts and quality content on new blogs I've never been to even </span><i style="color: #444444;">more</i><span style="color: #444444;">. Instead of simply linking up your blog button, you are now able to link up your favorite post you recently wrote. Have a delicious recipe to share, DIY tutorial, or heartfelt post? Share it with us!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">All hosts and co-hosts put up some unique and fun content from the past week. Make sure to check them out. P.S.- you may still link up your blog button and blog name, but it is encouraged to link up your favorite post instead. You will get more page views and interest if you do so! Some of the most successful blog hops I have participate in focus on content rather than just exchanging follows. You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!</span></div>

That's right, each week we will choose one lucky blog to feature from the previous week's hop. This hop receives thousands of page views every week, so your blog will have the chance to be center stage for free.

Hi friends! This is Chelsee this week. I am constantly looking for new recipes for Taco Tuesday, because let's face it...eating the same boring tacos every Tuesday does get old. In last week's hop I came across this post from Reviews, Chews, and How-tos! I just knew I had to try this recipe and thought that my fellow Taco lovers would enjoy this as well. I have added this to the list of recipes to try and I plan on making this soon!</div>

Especially when my weight is all over the place. Nothing sucks more than splurging on a new pair of cute shorts and then not being able to wear them the next year. So...I took some time to find some more affordable options that don't hurt the bank too much if you gain a little winter weight.<br />
<br />
All of these shorts are under $25 and so super cute! Can't wait to get that summer program check so I can start making my own purchases. haha.<br />

Happy Thursty Thursday!!<br />
<br /></div>
It's sweet sweet summertime!!! Our last day with kids was Tuesday and today is the last day of school...period. We have to spend all day at some training today...which doesn't make much sense to me, but...I'll do it, mainly because I have to. haha.<br />
<br />
Most of you know that Mike and my goto drink for the summer is the <a href="http://hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com/2013/06/thirsty-thursday-linkup-party-6.html">Arnold Palmeranian</a>. We keep a half gallon in the fridge at all times and always take some to the beach when we go. It's a great way to keep the po-leese from knowing your getting your drank on in areas where that's prohibited.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I saw a link for <a href="http://bestoflongislandandcentralflorida.blogspot.com/2015/06/olive-garden-copycat-peach-tea-recipe.html">Copycat Olive Garden Peach Tea</a> posted on a few of the linkups I connect to. And....my brain started getting to work. I do love myself a nice cup of that sweet peachy tea from Olive Garden. So....wonder if I added some of our favorite spiked sweet tea flair to it?? And then, my friends.....we have liftoff!!<br />
<br />

Yesterday was our last day with students. We still have today and tomorrow before we are officially out, but my room is done and all I have to do is sit here and bullshit all day!! Best kind of work day, ever!! I think Mike and I are going to celebrate tomorrow night but truthfully I have to work in the morning on Friday for the summer program so we'll see. But of course I'll have a few drinks!! #whendoinot #cuealicecooper #schoolsoutforever<br />

I've started playing with my <a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/crooksy532">Swagbucks</a> again. (p.s. if you haven't heard of it, go google it. Essentially it's just like ebates only there are even more ways you can earn points to get free money!! Let me know you want to join! I can refer you!!) I need to be more dedicated. I've slacked off and I'm not feeling as inspired, but I'm getting back into it, because I need to make some money before Christmas time!! #swag #freemoney #helpmeimpoor #makeitrain<br />

I'm going to need some help on this one. So...I have another gym plan. Now that my ankle is almost back to normal and the gym is opened again (they shut down for renovations) I can get back in the gym. My main problem with going is that there is always something that happens. For example, Mike says we should go to Happy Hour. Of course!! I'll just skip the gym. Or it's been a really long hot hard day....Guess I'll go tomorrow. So I've decided that I'm going to get up early and go before work. Now...I am most certainly NOT an early morning person. It takes me being dragged behind wild horses to want to get out of bed, some times, but I'm going to start doing this thing. Then, I get it out of the way early and there aren't excuses for what I have to do later. Like I said....I'm going to need help on this. Who's a morning workout person that can keep me in check?? #itsreallylackofmotivation #butivegotwaytoomuchjunkinthistrunk #andunderthehoodforthatmatter<br />

Where my GOT fans at??? WTF?? I'm not going to be a spoiler, but if you haven't seen the finale, go watch it and then come back here and comment on this post. Truth?? I don't think he's dead. He'll be back. I know, I know, I said the same thing about Ned Stark, and the first thing you saw in the next season was his head on a stake....but I'm for real. Mike read the books and he's pretty certain, too. We have two theories.........i<b>f you're reading this it might give it away</b>............... A) He's a warg. So....can't he just warg into Ghost? Or B) Melisandre is going to bring him back to life, because we all know she wants a piece of that. And........in an interview earlier on this person said he was signed on for 7 seasons. So truthfully, I don't know if I think he'll be back next season. But I'm pretty sure he'll be back for sure in season 7. And, I know you're not going to believe me, but Mike and I came up with these theories way before they started speculating on social media. So...since everyone else thinks the same thing one of two things is going to happen, either we're all right and we will see it come to fruition.....or....we're all right and since we're all right they'll change the plot to screw with us. #idontlikebeingscrewed #haweallknowthatsnottrue #effthewatch<br />

All hosts and co-hosts put up some unique and fun content from the past week. Make sure to check them out. P.S.- you may still link up your blog button and blog name, but it is encouraged to link up your favorite post instead. You will get more page views and interest if you do so! Some of the most successful blog hops I have participate in focus on content rather than just exchanging follows. You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!</span></div>

Hi friends! This is Tiffany this week. I am always looking for great blogging tutorials, and this one about scheduling pins was a must read. I do not currently schedule my pins, but after reading this amazing post by <a href="http://www.thepinjunkie.com/" target="_blank">The Pin Junkie</a>, I need to start doing this! She gives some great tips for tools to use to schedule pins, as well as the pros and cons with each different program.</div>

Although I'm pretty sure I'm getting fat just looking at them, these <a href="http://bitzngiggles.com/2015/06/wisconsin-cheese-curds.html">Wisconsin Cheese Curds</a> from Bitz and Giggles need to be in my mouth right now. I can literally taste them exploding with that sweet fried cheese flavor right this minute. If I don't get adventurous enough to try these out for myself, you better believe I'll pawn it off on someone else so I can indulge. haha.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a mixture between three different pics. They all kind of go together with the look I want in our one guest bedroom. I'm all about soothing and neutral. Gotta decide whether I want the blue on the walls, though. I'm not a fan of "color" on walls unless it's an accent wall. Might have to rethink all of that. What do you think?</div>

I'm so scatterbrained and all over the place at the moment I literally almost walked out to the car without shoes on yesterday.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week we didn't get the opportunity to try a new cocktail, but we did try out a new beer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7slKebeY7yI/VXi5MgN_rcI/AAAAAAAAEsg/7br_V75C5Yo/s1600/swb-logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7slKebeY7yI/VXi5MgN_rcI/AAAAAAAAEsg/7br_V75C5Yo/s400/swb-logo.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
Ever heard of Sweetwater Brewing Company? It's located in Georgia and I've heard nothing but great things about their beers. To be honest, I haven't had many of them, but I recently tried their blueberry beer cleverly named, Blue. We have been eyeing it up for some time and finally decided to try it out. I'm a sucker for fruity summer beers and this one did not disappoint. It was the perfect way to bring up my mood and the beautiful sun-shiny day we were having.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This beer was delicious. It was light and refreshing with just the right amount of blueberry to taste, but not overwhelm. I drank this one right out of the bottle, but I can only imagine how delicious it would be on draft. Can't wait for another batch. Maybe even muddle some blueberries in the bottom of my glass first. Mmmmmmm.</div>

Mike had training yesterday for his job and......HE GOT TASED!! Haha. How awesome is that? I told his sergeant they should let their wives pull the trigger. Talk about getting out some frustration?? Wouldn't that be perfect? Can you imagine getting the opportunity to tase your husband?? Aww, man. <i>*sigh*</i> It would be wonderful. #sorrynotsorry #iwishisawhisface #dontworrysomeonetapedit #donttasemebro<br />

I need someone to feel sorry for me and buy me things. Maybe I should start leading rich men on so they drape me in jewelry and shoes and take me on sick vacations. When I was in college my mom always told me I should marry rich, sleep with him once, and he'd probably croak in the process. Then I could live off of that for a while. I wish I was that selfish. Lord knows between Mike and I we don't bring much to the table. It would be nice not to have to worry about material things. They say money doesn't buy happiness but I can't think of anything I need that doesn't require a purchase. #helpmeimpoor #buymeallthethings #ineedasugardaddy<br />

My mom is retiring this year after like 4,000 years of teaching. She's been super nervous because she's scared she won't have anything to do. Isn't that the point? I'm pretty sure when I retire you'll find me fat as all hell, with cheetos on my lap, a drink in my hand, and an indent on the couch. Well, maybe for the first few years, then I'll probably travel a little. When I travel you will find me on a cruise ship, by the pool, food on my belly, drink in my hand, and an indent on the pool chair. I'm just going to pretty much not give a fluck. #letthecountdownbegin #ivegotlikeathousandyearsleft #wtf</center>

You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!</span></div>

We have been in such a funk lately with grilled chicken. Every week we pick up a few of the Mccormick Spice packs and use that as our marinade. And, they're delicious and all, but I'm tired of eating the same thing over and over again.<br />
<br />
Sunday, when Mike said we were going to have grilled chicken for dinner....again...I went online to see if I could find anything interesting, and that we didn't have to go to the store for. Luckily, as soon as I went to Pinterest and typed in "grilled chicken" <a href="http://www.nobiggie.net/the-best-4-ingredient-chicken-marinade/">this</a> was the second thing to pop up!<br />

<br />
This year at my teacher conference I went to a few workshops that were so super interesting. I learned about a ton of new [and some old] apps that are out there that make a teacher's life so much easier. And let's face it, anything that makes a teacher's life easier is a plus in my book. So since there are so many teachers out there in blogland, I figured I would share some of my favorites with you!! And please, if you have anything to add send me a comment!!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">{<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind-safe-classroom-communication/id522826277?mt=8"><b>Remind</b></a>}</span> - If you've heard of Remind 101, you know remind. It's the "new" version. Remind is an app that allows for you to send text messages to your parents without having to use actual phone numbers. And if you're a middle or high school teacher, you can even use it with your kids. And sign up is super simple. Parents or students text a code to a free number, attach a name and BAM! You're done! There is also a new feature where you can chat one to one with another remind member. So maybe you have a student that needs to make up an assignment before a certain date, or a parent who wanted updates on their child? You can use remind to keep them in the loop! I absolutely love this app and hope you can find it useful, too!!<br />

Homeroom is a mix between Facebook and Instagram. You can create albums and upload pictures right to the homeroom app. And parents can view the images you post immediately. So, can't take many chaperones on that zoo trip you've been planning?? Take pictures throughout the day and post them to your Zoo album! You're also able to post 30 second videos. So if you have an important accomplishment or something exciting to share with the parents, they won't miss out!!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">{<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plickers/id701184049?mt=8"><b>Plickers</b></a>}</span> - Plickers is an app that lets you poll your students without any kind of external devices. All you have to do is print a plicker card for each student in your class. Then, after you create questions, you have the students hold up their plicker to show their answers and you scan the room. Plickers will collect all the data and even graph the classes answers for you in live view. My students love it! The love to see how everyone answered as the results come in, and there is no need to feel embarrassed if they got the question wrong. No one will know who answered what unless you want them to.<br />

This is perfect for your parent-teacher conferences because you can keep all of your students' projects in one place. Plus, the kids still get to take them home to show their parents. I don't personally use this in my classroom, but I know teachers who let their students do most of the work with this. Keeping an iPad closeby during small group, kids can take pictures of their progress on computer programs or add their voice to video of how to complete math problems. The possibilities are endless.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">{<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/showme-interactive-whiteboard/id445066279?mt=8"><b>ShowMe</b></a>}</span> - Ever heard this sentence? "Mrs. {insert last name here} I couldn't do my homework last night because I couldn't figure it out and neither could my parents." Well have no fear....ShowMe is here!! ShowMe is a digital whiteboard where you can record your voice and tutorials for your students to access even when they aren't in the classroom. No more problems doing homework. When students use show me they can watch the process step-by-step as you guide them through it. This is also great for small group sessions. Keep an iPad with access to ShowMe closeby so kids can access tutorials and not bother your small group session.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">{<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/classdojo/id552602056?mt=8"><b>Class Dojo</b></a>}</span> - If you haven't already heard of Class Dojo, go check it out. Go ahead....I'll wait. Class Dojo is the number one way to keep your kids on track. You can download the app on your phone and both students and parents can keep track of the progress at their own leisure. Basically students are awarded points for doing the right thing. How easy is that? And Class Dojo has a chat feature so parents can ask about any possible negative points they might see. And you can turn your points into a spreadsheet to use at parent-teacher conferences. You need to start using this immediately (or well...next year, since this one is almost over).<br />

I seem to be in a good mood today, which is much easier to deal with than the mood I was in yesterday. <i>*smile*</i> 7 more days.......but truthfully they should be 7 super easy days because most of my classes are finished with all of their projects and it's just free time now.<br />
<br />
I'm super excited for this weekend. Not because we have anything exciting going on or anything, but it's the weekend. Why wouldn't I be excited? Mike's first race is this weekend, so be prepared for some track-grams and track-snaps if we're snapchat friends. If not, hit me up {leggs532}, and I'll add you. Just make sure you tell me who you are or I'll probably think you're some crazy creeper tryin'a spy on my shit.<br />
<br />
And on to my favorites....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">favorite cocktail.</span></b><br />
This one was hard <span style="font-size: xx-small;">twss</span> because we had a lot of different options this week. <a href="http://hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com/search/label/Thirsty%20Thursday">Thursty Thursday</a> is starting to get really exciting for me because we get a lot of friends with a great background in cocktail making and beers. And more and more people are starting to link up. Which is what makes my decision so hard. But, ultimately I chose the one I want to make asap, <a href="http://www.glutenfreeyumms.com/honey-strawberry-sangria/">Honey Strawberry Sangria</a> from Gluten Free Yumms. I love it when I come across a recipe that adds something you never think of. Like honey. I would have never dreamed to add honey to sangria, but I can only imagine how delicious this drink will be. Can't wait to try it.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">favorite pin.</span></b><br />
I need a place where I can keep files so everything isn't shoved haphazardly into our spare bedroom closet anymore, but I can't find something I like. Until now. I love how they redid this filing cabinet. Filing cabinets are so industrial looking and ugly. This makes it so gorgeous. I'm even thinking of doing it to my filing cabinet in my classroom. Love!<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">favorite laundry room inspiration.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We need to do something to make our house look like we live in it. We've been there for almost 2 years now and there is still so much that needs to be done. 5 rooms of our house don't even have pictures on the walls. One of the rooms that I hate going in is our laundry room. I feel like it's just the breeding ground for all things junk. Below is my inspiration. This is essentially our exact laundry room, at least on this side. And, everything here looks pretty easy to me. There's not much to it. So, this summer I'm getting to work. I'm painting, and I'm decorating and I'm making our house look lived in.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Happy #ThurstyThursday!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I know a few weeks back I did the <a href="http://hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com/2015/05/thurstythursday-raspberry-beer-cocktail.html">Raspberry Beer Cocktail</a>, but I'm doing another one today. Mainly because this one was soooo much better than the other one. Mmmmm. It's kind of along the same lines, but it tastes so yummy!!<br />
<br />
The idea actually came to Mike while he was buying me all the ingredients for my other beer cocktail. Unfortunately, since he had already bought the other ingredients, I told him to come on home and we would make it another day. And he proceeded to explain that he was very upset with me that I hadn't thought of this before we bought the other stuff. My bad, Goob.....my bad.<br />
<br />
Anywhooos. This is such an awesome <strike>cocktail</strike> <strike>beer</strike> ....what do we call these??? Beer cocktail is such a stupid name....any suggestions? I need help. I'm not clever at the moment. But....it's got just the right amount of strawberry flavor but you taste the beer, too. And since it's a bocktail (??? stupid right? Come on and help me!!) it tends to sneak up from behind and kick you right in the ass.<br />
<br />
And wait until you see the magic ingredient!! I hope you enjoy!!<br />

I would really like to complain about it but it's so super relaxing and I love the sound of rain. Plus it means I don't have to water my flowers at all. It's a pain in the ass to drag that hose around to the back part of the house and then drag it back. #thankyouraingods #ifonlyitwasvodka #imonlyhappywhenitrains<br />

We have 9 days left of school!! I've been trying not to count because I feel like it makes the days drag on but subconsciously I do know how many days we have left. I just can't help it. Pray for me that those 9 days go by quickly and without any issues because I might get fired if I have to start drinking in school. #justkidding #maybe #iwouldbesomuchmorefun<br />

Last week one of our little clique told us she was retiring. I guess now we need to welcome in some stranger. Please let it be someone cool. I can't handle someone who's crotchety. A young male professional sounds yummy. Oh wait....I'm married. Hey, you can look at the menu, you just can't order off of it. #cometomama #illhavetwoplease #andavodkaredbull<br />

I just had a really quick impromptu Scentsy party over the last two weeks and I was hoping to get a few orders just to take me to that $150 mark. Well, we closed last night and SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS LATER, I got my free stuff total. Let's just say I got everything I wanted and more. :) Thanks guys!! #ishouldsellthisshitprofessionally #andmybody #idprobablygetmoreforscentsy<br />
