Summer fun

I love being on vacation and spending time with my friends and family .  I just got back from a trip to Biloxi, Mississippi with a good friend.  I so needed some me time and this was perfect.  My sweet friend from over at Run Ms Nelsons got the Camera and I took a girls road trip.  No husbands or kids allowed.  I felt guilty at first, but quickly got over it once I slept in till 10.  I NEVER get to sleep in!!!  I had even forgotten how nice it was to wake up not feeling tired.  Can any of you mommies out there relate?   It was only a 48 hour trip, but loads of fun!!!  We explored cute boutiques in Ocean Springs.   You know the kind you won't normally set foot in with little ones for fear of something getting broken?  It was fun just browsing around.  I even stuck to my budget I had set for myself.  We gambled a little at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino but didn't win anything worth mentioning.  I'm never one of those lucky people to win big.  Probably why I don't gamble very often.  Ha!!!  The very best part was coming home to my sweet girls for hugs and kisses. 

On a teaching note...My district just adopted the Wonders reading series and I am creating cute pocket chart word cards for each of the spelling units for 2nd grade.  Head on over to my teacher pay teacher store and check it out.  I also have a few freebies there too.  You can find me at learning by the seashore under sellers.   Anyone else have some great resources to share for Wonders?  I'd love to hear from you!

First step into the world of blogging!

Hi!  I am so excited to begin my teacher blog.  I have enjoyed blog hopping and love, love, love getting new ideas from all the fantastic teachers out there in the blog world.  Whenever I feel the pressure of the HUGE amounts of demands being placed on educators sucking the spark out of me, I simply hop into the blogging land and POOF!!!  The spark is back and renewed.  My hope is that by beginning this blog I will help other teachers get inspired, make new friends, and continue to get AMAZING ideas from fellow teachers.  

A little about me...I'm Lori.  I am soooo very lucky to live in the sunny state of Florida!  I teach and live a few blocks from the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.  

This is how I love to spend me weekends!  Relaxing by the seashore.  Now you know what inspired my blog title. ;-). I have two gorgeous daughters, not that I'm biased by any means.  Ha!

They love taking selfies.  Which gets really silly at times.  I'm always finding surprise random selfies on my iPhone.

Here is a random sweet moment, that in my opinion are to few and far between.

I have a fantastic husband too...can't forget about the Mr.

Well there is a little about me and my family.  Thanks for reading my blog.  Until next time...
