My very first Guest Blogger!

I have been non-stop traveling since Christmas Day....whew and won't be back for awhile yet, so I asked an awesome blogger to be my very first guest blogger!  I was blown away, literally BLOWN AWAY- by her blog and resources so far!!! Just like this one!

SERIOUSLY- one of the cutest and most awesomely put together FREEBIES I've ever seen!!!

You must go check out her blog!

Without further ado, Kayla, from Meet Miss Parker!

Hi everyone! Kayla Parker here from Meet Miss Parker at www.meetmissparker.blogspot.com! I am so excited to be a guest blogger for Amber while she is away. I met Amber through blogging just a few months ago. Thanks to her, I am finally getting the swing of things with the blogging world. I have started making my own teaching resources and made my first few sales on teacherspayteachers. Even though it isn’t much, I am still excited! It doesn’t take much to excite me though. For Christmas, I got lots of teaching materials and children’s books and I was happier than a 6 year old in a candy shop! I guess Santa thought I was good all year. Also, lucky for me, my brother got me a desk plate for my desk when I eventually get my first teaching job (hopefully, sooner rather than later!). I guess I got a little spoiled this year, and I hope everyone else did too. With all your hard work this year teaching so far, I hope Santa got you all what you wanted. (If not, there is always next year, and as we know time flies so that will come quick!) Either way, the New Year is already around the corner and I have been thinking a lot about my resolution. I have gone through the typical eat healthier and get my butt to the gym more kind of resolutions, but this year I was trying to come up with a resolution that is, well, better. So, with the Newtown tragedy that recently occurred, I have been trying to do 26 acts of kindness in memory of those beautiful children. So far I have done 6. I bought presents for 4 families for Christmas this year who couldn’t afford gifts, bought snacks for some kids waiting outside a store for the new Jordan sneakers to be released (boy, were they happy!), and I paid for the car behind me in the line at my local coffee shop. It feels really good to do something nice for someone else! Therefore, I have decided to not stop after my 26 acts of kindness and instead try to do nice things for others throughout the year. Now that is a resolution I can be proud of! With the way this world has been lately, we need more kindness in this world and I am glad to be a part of it.

Well, I guess I better stop writing and start packing. I am going to visit family tomorrow in New Jersey for New Year’s and I haven’t packed a single thing. Thanks for checking out my post, and again, thank you Amber for having me be a guest blogger! I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year and please swing by and visit my blog! I would love to meet you all! Happy blogging!!!
