Listening: I’m watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix- it’s one of my favorite shows!
Loving: My family is currently on vacation at Grand Lake in Oklahoma. We have a beautiful lake house, and are spending a week down here together. It’s been perfect! Make sure you follow me on instagram (@allieelliott), as I am posting pictures of our adventures daily (and some beautiful landscapes in there too!!).
Thinking: It’s about 11:30 right now my time…and I wanted to be asleep by ten! OOPS! #nightowlproblems
Wanting: I’ve been browsing Pinterest and blogs this summer to decide on my classroom theme for the upcoming school year. I don’t know what grade I’m teaching yet, but think it’ll probably be in the primary grades (K-3). I’m wanting to nail down a theme/color scheme so I can get shopping, laminating, and crafting! If you have any great ideas, leave them down below in a comment! (Links to blog posts are even better!!!)
Needing: I leave in 43 days (but who’s counting, right ;)?!) to go back to Tanzania. That means I need to get myself in gear by making lists of what I need and want, deciding what to purchase to take with me, and then getting out there and buying the necessary items. All that to say, July is going to be a BUSY month!!
All Star: I love celebrating…especially people! My mom made every event, birthday, holiday, etc. special for us kids growing up, and now I love to do the same! Whether it’s giving a gift, putting up signs and streamers for a birthday, baking a cake, making simple decorations for holidays, and more, I absolutely love being a celebrator! I love making others feel special!!! 🙂
Alright, YOUR TURN!! Head over to Oh Boy 4th Grade to grab the image and learn about the link-up, then do it yourself! I’d love to see what’s currently going on in your life!!
Much Love, Allie
Wow! Just wow! First off you had me at Gilmore Girls. LOL I love that show. Tanzinia! Amazeballs. Can you find everything you need there or will you shop here and take with/ship? I love to celebrate others too! We need more celebrators in the world. I do boho birds and a mix of prints and cheerful colors. Check out my IG. I'm also thinking of changing it up a bit. I'm not sure yet. It really starts to add up, you know? I love looking at Schoolgirl Style's ideas and tips @ http://www.schoolgirlstyle.com. Safe travels! Sandy @ Elementary Expedition
Jealous of your lake house! it is beautiful and peaceful! Enjoy.
Gilmore Girls is one of my faves!! I watched all the seasons on Netflix already! Enjoy your time at the lake house. It looks beautiful! I'm doing a chalkboard and brights theme in my classroom next year! 🙂

Thanks Amanda! I'm so glad Gilmore Girls is now on Netflix 😉
Your classroom theme sounds delightful! I'm sure your students will love it.
I hope you're having a relaxing 4th of July weekend! Thanks for reading and commenting! 🙂
It was absolutely GLORIOUS, Betty! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better vacation! I'll have a blog post up next week all about it, so stay tuned! Thanks for reading and commenting!!
Haha! Yes, it's quite the crazy story about how I ended up in Tanzania, but it was totally God's plan! I love it there, and am so looking forward to returning! I will be bringing as much as possible back with me, because though where I'm at is more advanced than most, it's still nothing like the U.S. (though I definitely wish I could convince Target to open a store in my town!!). I'll be bringing things for my classroom (decorations, things for centers and activities, etc.), and other things that I don't get there.
I love Schoolgirl Style! Thanks for the reminder! I'll be checking out your instagram too! Thanks so much for reading and commenting! 🙂
