Favorite Pins Friday (7-19)

Time is tick, tick, ticking away! Where did my summer go? I have 17 days before I go back to school and 6 of those days are going to be spent in trainings. This week, I have spent some time in my classroom trying to get a head start on some things.

I've been furiously pinning this week and trying to find some new back to school ideas. But mostly I've found great things that have nothing to do with school.

School Ideas

Love this idea for counting books at home from Two Can Do It! You can use my freebie from Owl-Ways Be Inspired to keep the count.

This is a why didn't I think of that moment. So simple and such a great idea from First Grade in Foxwell Forest!

Cute pencil signs from Mrs. Lirette's Learning Detectives.

Love this sign from Creekside Teacher Tales! Perfect for the library!

 Genius app from Doodle Smith Ink on iTunes.

Home Ideas

Pin from Sarah Richardson design

If you remember that the beginning of summer, I said that I was going to put a backsplash in my kitchen. Well, it didn't happen but maybe sometime soon. One of my main problems was trying to figure out where to put it. I have an awkward space above my kitchen sink and I wasn't sure if I should carry the backsplash up the wall. This solves my problem. They used pencil molding on top of the backsplash to give it a finished look.

A girl can dream! Idea from Greenbelt Homes.

My dream space from Freshome.

Food

Peanut butter pie from Cook the TV. Yum!

Oreo cheesecake bites from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

Other Stuff

 

Important to remember from VictorStuff.

One of life's little mysteries is solved - how to fold a fitted sheet from BHG.
