My favorite pencil sharpener returns...

Are you sick of my posts about my favorite pencil sharpener yet? I know.... I can't help it. It's changed my life! Well, maybe not changed my life.... but it did make my classroom pencil management a lot easier. :)  It's fast, quiet, and it has a "cool factor" that makes the kids love to use it. So much, in fact, "pencil sharpener" has become one of my most coveted classroom jobs! Classroom Friendly Supplies is now offering the sharpener in a pretty shade of purple, too!

Isn't she a beaut? One of my favorite things about this sharpener is how fast it is for a manual sharpener. Check it out......

16 pencils, read to sharpen. Apple watch, ready to time it.

And... I'm off!

Last one!

All 16 pencils done in 3:42.

Check out those hyper-sharpened tips!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I am a huge fan of this sharpener. I couldn't be more excited to share the new purple color with you- and since I have already bought a few for my classroom, this one is up for grabs!  Open to US residents only.

Happy Monday!

Currently October!

I feel like the days are flying by. Every time the calendar turns over to a new month, it takes me by surprise! I think that life hit fast forward when I had a baby last year. That "baby" is 16 months old, putting two words together to ask for things, running around, and feeding himself. When did that happen????? 

Linking up with Farley for my favorite monthly linky- Currently!

Listening: Criminal is my new addiction! It is a podcast that talks about crime in every episode. They interview all different people- people falsely accused, people that were victims of a crime, law enforcement people, criminals that have served their sentences, and even historians to talk about old crimes. I can't get enough!

Loving: GIVE ME ALL THE PUMPKIN THINGS! I love a pumpkin spiced latte as much as the next girl (iced, please!) but I take it one step further. We have pumpkin everything going on! Pumpkin candles burning, pumpkin seeds for snacks, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin mac and cheese... you get the idea.

Thinking: I got my NAIER order-  I have so many post-its and white out strips now! I am so happy. Office supplies have that effect on me. 

Wanting: My living room is currently a mix of baby toys,  baby clothes (that he pulled off in his travels),  and papers to grade. It's a mess.... and I don't want to clean it! 

Needing: A terribly long nap, which is why I don't want to clean the horribly messy living room. :) 

Boo-tiful: Don't you love when students say nice things about you when they think you aren't listening? It made my day- I'm not sure what she is referring to with "fancy and fashionable" considering I am the mom of a toddler and never have much time to get ready... but I'll take it!

Happy October, friends!
