Read some of my favorite things to

to purchase too!

I love these Uniball Signo 0.7 pens and cannot EVER find them

anywhere in stores anymore.

Drives me batty.

I just happened upon them the other day at Office Depot, but 

I had to buy some Sharpie push top pens to get them.

These pens can always be purchased online from Uniball.

I also love Ticonderoga pencils.

Can't live without them.

Just like the package says...the world's BEST pencils!

Even better...they are already sharpened.

I am quickly fallin' in love with these stools that one of my

teammates ordered for all the 5th grade teachers at my school.

Each class got a different color.

These are Norwood stools and can be found

 at School Outfitters.

The green looks perfect in my room and 

really makes everything pop!

I love this little paint can that a little girl from my school 

made for me at the end of the year.  

I have it sittin' on my desk to hold my pens and markers.

I hit the big Vera Bradley sale this summer on eBay

and got this new Lime's Up messenger bag. 

I'm lovin' that it fits my Macbook Air, iPad mini, chargers,

and teacher binder.

This is goin' to come in so handy to carry back and forth from school.

It's been 7 months since I broke up with Diet Coke.

I can't start my school days without caffeine.

Green tea is my new favorite go-to-drink.

What are some of your favorite things that you would
