Here we go!

Well, here goes nothing!

As a recent graduate and newbie in the adult world I have come upon the realization that everything is not as easy as it seems. The real world has a lot more price tags than what I like to call "the college bubble".  When your at school you don't have all those monthly expenses that come with living outside a dorm and most importantly, in the real world theres NO MEAL PLAN! One thing about me is I love food, which unfortunately is where much of my budget goes to.

Now, the one thing on a college graduates mind when they graduate is getting a job. There was no way to escape it since the only question I was asked for the past 10 months was "What are your plans for next year?" Well hallelujah! I have found a job! CHECK! In May I received my degree in Early childhood Education and soon after excepted a job in my hometown In a beautiful school and district! I am so fortunate! I had about 5 minutes of celebrating until the todo lists started and my mind was reeling with classroom ideas. Of course as any normal teacher, sorority girl, and wannabe chef/interior designer/event planner/fashonista would do...I went to Pinterest. From there my ideas started to grow and expand, I read many blogs and am now a frequent user of Etsy and TeachersPayTeachers. But then I realized that I could do that too! And what a great time in my life to start. As a beginning teacher/real world adult I can find affordable and helpful ways to help those similar to me!

So, in conclusion, over the course of this blog I will share with you my success's, some failures I'm sure and many, many of the creative, affordable things I am doing in my life and classroom!!
