Meet The Teacher Blogger! Linky Party!


Blogging is a TOTALLY new world for me, but since I am a firm believer in go big or go home, I am diving in head first with a {linky} party! Stephanie at Falling Into First is having a Meet the Teacher Blogger Linky Party. So, here we go! 

I was born in the early 70’s, which means when you fill in your birthday for online forms you have to scroll WAAAAYYYY down.  I love 70’s music and have been amused to see clothes my mother sewed for me, bell-bottomed jumpers being one of them, have made a comeback. 



I have two beautiful daughters, Zoe 14  


and Vasilia almost 2.




I married a wonderful, handsome man and father!

I have been teaching in New York for 17 years, 1 year in North Carolina, I have taught every grade level ek-6 and was a literacy specialist for 6 years. I have coached several sports, I am a professor at our local community college, and I currently teach 2nd grade!



THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, basking in the glow of a lit Christmas tree, the first snow day of the school year, my girl’s laughter, any beach, and traveling abroad!



Q: IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

I’d be a travel journalist or traveling food network chef….besides being a teacher, who has a better job than THAT!

Q: THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

honest, little, compassionate

Q: FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"Not another snow day!"

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

My little family…I am a simple woman and easily pleased...it's the little things in life.

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Though she be small, she was fierce

Q: YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

This one is tricky…so many powers seem to offer a blessing with a curse. Freezing time at will. To stop and enjoy a moment or stop so I can get some things done without missing a thing with my family.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

"Those who do the work, learn the work!"
"Your actions are your only possessions." 
"Don't fall over before you've been pushed!"

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

First, I would need to have MAJOR vocal training, at which point I would want to sing 
Anything by Diana Ross, Olivia Newton John or Heart

Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

Morning! Cue Here Comes The Sun!

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

I am so new to blogging and TpT that I can’t really say! I am working on some that I am very excited about and I have a couple little things out, but as you know the good stuff takes time to get just right! Plus I am hoping to get some feedback to help guide me along this new journey! Let me know! 
  






Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU!

I only eat folded potato chips…so I don’t devour the entire bag. That’s just one of my many little quirks…but that is what
makes us all unique, so I embrace it! 

Im so glad you stopped by and thanks be to Falling Into First, for hosting this little linky!  Be sure to visit other linkies and share the love!

Share the love here!

  2. I love your daughter's names-very unique! I love the lights of a Christmas tree and I too only eat the folder over potato chips (mostly because they hold the most flavor)! I enjoyed your post!

    1. Aww thanks Sarah! We are Greek and Italian...so we like those interesting names. Plus, ask any veteran teacher, choosing your children's names becomes really tricky!

    1. Thanks Miss Woodward! :) It is always good to hear what others think about TpT products, especially when you are first starting out! Maybe you will retire as the cupcake making teacher! :)
