Our Store...The Nest

Hello......

I hope you are all doing well and are out

and about enjoying the weather (minus the mosquitos)! 

Around our neck of the woods we are preparing for the

First Day of School which is tomorrow.

Tomorrow Andrew starts First Grade!!

We went to his school last night to drop off his school

supplies and to check out his classroom. 

He is ready to go back to school and I am happy

that he enjoys going to school!

Starting tomorrow morning I get to "officially"

 get him on the bus each day.....this may seem ordinary to most

but in the past being a teacher and driving to the city each day I

missed out on the "little things" that I get to now enjoy!

I'm sure tomorrow I will have pictures galore to share!

 

In other news our store, The Nest has officially

been opened for a little more then a month now...and I

can tell you it has been a whirlwind but a GOOD WHIRLWIND!

I was looking at pictures that we have taken over the past

few months and thought I would share....it is amazing

how much the store has changed and continues to change

on a weekly basis.

When we first started moving into the storefront it felt like a warehouse.
We had piles of furniture and accessories everywhere and nothing made sense.
It was a bit overwhelming.

 

We made nightly trips bringing more items to the store

and we moved it from one spot to the next until we were ready

to start turning it all into a store!

 
I cannot even tell you how many times before our Family and Friends Preview the store changed. We kept on moving things around until it felt right.
Thanks again to everyone that helped us get the store ready to be revealed to the public!

The store continues to change each week and day.
We have unique pieces so when a piece is sold another one is brought into the store.

So many pieces of furniture and home accessories have went to a lot
of good homes....and it has been a pleasure sharing things I love with others!

This area in the store is the hardest....right now it is our "baby nook!"

 

It is amazing looking back how many things are no longer in the store.

I love that our store is constantly evolving!

The famous linen settee is still for sale.....I wonder who this
will go home with eventually!?!?

 

Our entryway looks nothing like this right now.....all these pieces have gone to

 good homes and are now making someone else Happy Happy Happy (ye,s I watch Duck Dynasty!!)

Our kitchen area is getting a make over in the next two weeks!
I have a giant oval distressed cream table that I am bringing in....it is GoRgEoUs.!!
Over Labor Day weekend we are preparing to bring Fall into The Nest with
a lot of new arrivals....it is going to be good!!

I would like to thank everyone that has stopped in to check
out The Nest and who have helped spread the word to all their friends and families!

 Well it is time to grab a cup of coffee and get my now First Grader ready for bed!
 

 Goodnight

Teaching....

So this is where I spend most of my day teaching 22 First graders in room 106A!

We have been in school now for 24 days but who is counting!!!!

I have been teaching now for the past 10 years and sometimes I think to myself 

how did I ever get into this profession and on  other days I could not 

see myself doing anything else.

It is amazing how much you grow to love the kids you teach.  

This year I have a really good class and they make my job that much more rewarding.

I can say that each day I walk into my classroom with a list of objectives that I must 

teach that particular day but in the end sometime's my students are my teachers 

and I learn so much from them.

Welcome To My Classroom

Take A Look Around!!!!

View from the back of my room---

it is actually pretty clean right now too!

One side of my classroom-

I think I am going to put their desks back into groups this

set-up takes up way to much space.

This is our back carpet area where we spend a lot of time!

Other side of my room.

Owls in my classroom too!!

I just couldn't pass these guys up!!

The kids colored owls too!!

Why not!!?

Command Center=My desk!!

My Class all 22 smiling faces ready to go home for the day!!

Tomorrow night we have Open House!!

Anyone out there a First grade teacher like myself, if so

how is your year going!?

Stephanie :)

I Really Did It.........

Wow, this is me out there for the world to read and see! I have been a blog lover and stalker for such a long time now and have finally taken the plunge to put myself out there and share a little piece of me!  I hope to share daily occurences in my life that put a smile on my face along with some crafts and projects that I do in my spare-time! Thanks for checking me out---stop by again and I promise it will be more exciting!!
