Liebster Nomination

This award is for bloggers who are new to the game and trying to grow their readership!  I have to answer the 11 questions from Sheri from Early Years, and then nominate 11 blogs of my choice that have less than 200 followers!

1. Why and how long ago did you start blogging?
I started this past April. I love(d) wondering around the internet looking for teacher ideas to use in my own classroom. With some support of my team, I knew I had some good ideas to share and figured I would!

 2. What one word sums up the heart of your blog and why? 
Me. I ramble and say the same type of things you would hear if you had the classroom next door to me, and that is how I like it.3. Is there something you learned late in your blog journey you wished you knew before? 
Not yet. One thing I have noticed though is just how caring other bloggers are.

4. What is your favorite past time other than blogging? Hanging with these guys:

5. How many hours per week do you dedicate to your blog? Lately, like none. However when I do have an idea or time it really does not take me long to type one up.

6. What category of blog posts do you enjoy the most? 
Teaching. I love learning from other teachers! I have gotten so many great ideas, I wish I had more time in a day to try them ALL.

7. Where does your blog inspiration come from? 
My team mates and my classroom. My team mates will say something and I will be like o yeah that is a good idea. Or I will see something in my room with my kids, normally when they get a light bulb moment, and be like yay good idea!

8. Which post that you've written are you most proud of?
I think this Monday Made It! I had a tons of views and a ton of comment about the awesomeness of my made its. I also loved writing it and was glad to share some crafty ideas with others. The chalkboard calendar I made is now in my classroom and I get tons of complements!

9. Is there any post you have been planning to do, but have postponing it for a while now? 
Not exactly. Since the beginning of the school year I have been so busy, non stop between school and my husband I just have not had the time to blog regularly and I really want to  get back into the swing of it.

10. What is your favorite aspect of blogging? 
Meeting other ownderful people, and sharing ideas. I find it fascinating the things that are out there.

11. Which recipe, project, or idea on my blog would you be most likely to try yourself? 

These:

I LOVE peanut butter and want to try these!
