A Few of my Favorite Things
Maxi Dress
It’s comfy and has pockets!!!!
Transparent Sticky Notes
I love these see through sticky notes because I can jot down notes about what we are reading and still see the page.
Locking Lid Storage Containers
I use these at school to keep my snacks safe from mice. But I mostly use them at home for food storage. Being able to see how much food I have has saved me a lot of money. I don’t have to guess or shake the box when I need to buy more cereal. I just look in the cabinet and carry on with my life. Plus, it keeps food fresher longer which also saves money
Erasable Pens
I much prefer writing in pen rather than pencil. But I make mistakes… a lot… These erasable pens are perfect for me. They are vibrant and erase super easily.
Disclaimer: You do have to keep them tip down if storing them in an upright position. This prevents all the ink from going to the top.
90 Day Reflection Journal
I have looked for a reflection journal for months but nothing I found had exactly what I wanted. Sooooo… I made one myself. It helps me reflect on the good parts of the day and encourages me to think about what I can do better the following day. I love it because it promotes positivity and I’ll openly admit, I am not a naturally positive person.
Scalp Massager
I know this isn’t school related but I never knew I needed one of these until I tried it. I stayed at a friends how and she had one of these in her shower. Out of curiosity I tried it. It not only helped clean my hair and scalp, but it also felt amazing. I ordered this one as soon as I got out the shower.
Mom tip: If your daughter always argues over washing her hair, get YOURSELF on of these. She will feel so privileged and fancy when you allow her to use it. Hair washing won’t be a fight anymore.
Metal Rolling Cart
A rolling cart is a must have for a teacher! This one is affordable and durable
Hanging Cups
I keep everything I need quick access to clipped on to my rollie cart (with my fan) using these hanging cups. I use them to hold sharpies, colored pens, sticky note, index cards, pencils, and highlighters. I love not having to look for things. Plus, since they are on my rolling cart (also posted), I can take them anywhere!
Clip on Fan
I clipped this on to my rollie cart and I’m living my best life! It is powerful yet quiet.
These File Folders
I absolutely LOVE these folders. Every time I have a meeting, I bring one of these along. Not only does it hold all the handouts, but I can take notes on it!
Desk Organizers
I never knew how much I needed these. It is sooooo nice to open my desk and be able to find what I need
The work bag that holds all the things
Hold alllll the things with this useful backpack
Portable Charger
I used this portable charger when we went to Mexico. It works really well for the price
12-Pocket Folder
I use this 12-pocket folder for easy access to information on each of my IEP kids. Each kid has their own pocket that holds their schedule, accommodations, and parent contact information.

On my Pinterest page you will find bedrooms and classrooms that I have designed. It started out of boredom, but people seem to have liked what I’ve done and have started asking me for ideas. Check it out for decoration ideas… on a budget of course.
