Five for Friday Summer Linky 7/17/15

I have really enjoyed the opportunity to link up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching for the

 Here's a little peek into my past week:

I celebrated my birthday this week and as I reflect on the past year, I know that I am truly blessed. My hubby and boys showered me with love, acts of service, and beautiful cards. Of course, we topped the evening off with some frozen yogurt - my favorite! I know, I know, it looks like a kid's cup of yogurt, but I love it!


Also, as part of the birthday celebration, my entire store is 20% off until Sunday. And if you haven't entered the BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY yet, be sure to do so! I know I can always use a gift certificate to TpT!

I finally finished the update to my Editable Name Activities. This was my big project last summer, and updating it has become my big project this summer. Ha! I took all that I learned my first year on TpT and applied that to updating this product. It now comes in both Word and Power Point versions as well! So, if you previously purchased this item, be sure to download the new update by going to your "My Purchases" page!

So, we are completely re-doing our backyard this summer. With the horrible drought in California, we decided to let our grass go. So, despite the heat, my husband has worked tirelessly to rip out all of the grass and get things cleaned up - it was a bit of a mess! This week he built two wonderful planter boxes for us to use in the fall and next spring! I am so excited - and so are the boys! There's still a lot to do back there, but I was excited about this! Now, just praying for a very wet winter!

I finally got my Numbers 1-10 packet uploaded! I have been working on it off and on all summer, but with all of the traveling, product revisions, and life, it's been slow. So, I am happy to announce it is finally posted!

I also updated my TpT Store Quote, thanks to this amazing Tutorial from Mrs. Fultz! I think it really makes a difference! 


I would love to hear about your week! And be sure to check out the other posts at the Doodle Bugs Teaching Link-up. Have an amazing weekend!!
