Awards & Winners

I just received my first blog award! Ms. Whiteley at Toad-ally Exceptional Learners (adorable name, btw) gave me The Versatile Blogger award, and I'm so stoked!! She was also one of my first 5 followers, so she received my FREE Fantastic Fractions unit. Score!
THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME, Ms. Whiteley!

As teachers we really have to be versatile... When kiddos aren't getting it, we have to find a different way to reach them. When are kiddos aren't engaged, we have to find a way to grab them. All day. Flexible & Versatile. That's us! I think this award is mucho awesome. Versatile at work and on-line. :)
The best part of this award is I GET TO PASS IT ON! But first I have to follow the rules:


Here are the seven rules to follow when receiving this award:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you.  THANKS AGAIN!
2. Include a link to their blog.  CLICK THE CUTE TOAD
3. Include the award image in your post.  LEFT!
4. Give 7 random facts about yourself.  BELOW! 
5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.  BELOW! 
6. When nominating, include a link to their blog.  CLICK THE BLOGS
7. Let other bloggers know they've been nominated.  :) 






Here are my 7 random facts:
1. I was born on Halloween! My friends say this explains a lot about me. 
2. My side job in college was baking! Check out my goodies on Facebook. I have since retired and only bake for fun. 
3. I have two cats, Cupcake and Rambo. Cupcake is dainty, Rambo is HUGE. 
4. I love the Houston Texans (football). I lose a little of my "lady like-ness" when football's on. :)
5. I adore music. Currently, I'm obsessed with The Head & The Heart and Sean Hayes. 
6. I live in a coastal town in Texas. We looooove the beach! I can't imagine not living near the water. 
7. I love tattoos and one of my favorite tattoos is my cupcake. CUTE, HUH?? I really love cupcakes....
