Teacher Tote Bag!

My whole life, my mom had this LL Bean tote bag. She used it to carry teaching stuff back & forth from home to school. I've decided that after I get done with student teaching in December, I'm going to ask for a teacher tote bag for Christmas!! I want an extra large one with long handles & monogramming that says Mrs. C...! How cute!!! I feel like it'll really kick off my teaching career!! I just can't decide if I want the traditional one or the customized one! What do you think??

Right now, I'm carrying a super cute tote bag that I got as a bridesmaid gift in the wedding I was in this past weekend. It has my initial on it! I love it, but I could already use a bigger one with as much stuff as I'm carrying back & forth. I have a student teaching notebook & then I carry textbooks with lesson ideas & papers to grade & things like that! I feel like a professional

Um...... so, ignore the e-mail I sent you about not being able to comment. Because obviously I can.

On another note... why did you have to post this! I've been obsessing over those canvas tote bags for years. Telling myself that I do not need one. But I want one. And now you went and did this. Great.

I like the classic ones. The make your own option would just be too much for me to handle.

My first year teaching I used a laundry basket! Then I realized I was taking home an insane amount of work and I cut back.

I do need something new though - I have a nice leather bag but it's falling apart after ten years of use! (It's so old that I actually got it from an ex, and I've been married nine years!)

These are attractive and practical. I'll have to check them out!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
