November ~ Currently

Beautiful day for a Currently with Farley!



Listening: My sleepyhead daughter has not emerged from her room , so it's quiet in the house....windows open...cool breeze....birds chirping and yummy Dunkin' Donuts blueberry muffin coffee brewing! 


Loving: This past week, while trying at times, was a ton of fun! I got to help out in several classes. Precious little second graders practiced their adorable Halloween/Fall poems for fluency. Then, we recorded them using Croak.it! With the Croak.it! link we turned it into a QR Code. Precious little faces as they scanned their QR code and heard their own voice. Here is my post on Croak.it! and QR Codes.


Thinking: Really?!!!!  Went to dinner with some friends last night. 


Wanting: Ugggg! I'm not a candy kind of person, but Tootsie Rolls are my weakness! They must go! That and all the Halloween decorations to magically be put away.

Needing: Gotta get started on my speech! I've been asked by our local university to speak at their Teacher Induction ceremony. 250 student teachers plus their family and friends. I would love to hear some of your words of wisdom for these new teachers!

Yummy pin!
Carmel Apple Dip! 
This is my "go-to" dish when I need something quick and yummy! It is super easy and a crowd pleaser.
Only 4 ingredients! If you click on the picture it will take you to the directions. These include powdered sugar. I've never used powered sugar. Just leave the cream cheese out for a bit and then spread it on a large plate!


While I was searching for the recipe and a picture . . . I found these! Same recipe, but in a jar! How cute are these?! I think I'm going to send these to my daughter's teachers! A little "happy" for the start of November and a new nine weeks! (Click on the picture and it will take you to the blog post.)


Head over to Farley's for some more Currently action! There are some really great yummy pin ideas! 
Perfect timing with the holidays approaching.
Have a beautiful day!

  7. I couldn't agree with you more! The Target by my home was putting out all the Christmas merchandise before Halloween had even arrived. To top it off, today I was shopping and heard a woman singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Good luck with your speech! I'm sure you will be amazing!
