Favorite Things Friday!!!

This week has been

oh, so crazy!I've been on a mad dash

to finish the Homeschool Room.

It's almost finished...

and the best part?

It's all been done on a

budget!!!

Wanna see???

{I took these pics at night...so the quality of

light...not so great.}

Welcome sign from

Target Dollar Spot!

(oh, how I love me some Dollar Spot!)

Burlap covered magnetic boards!

Boards from IKEA.

Had burlap on hand.

Lights, IKEA.

$12.00 each.

AWESOME storage unit from IKEA- $200

LOVE the 50% off section at IKEA!

Got six boxes for $12.

Another

amazing clearance find!

$6.00 at Kirklands!

Okay. I know this is sad...

but one of my favorite finds this summer

was these BRAND NEW Sharpies

at a garage sale!

Amazing!

{Sharpies are expensive!!!}

Found lots of educational games

@ Thrift Stores!

About $8 total.

Another great Dollar Spot find.

Found it at Michaels!

And two more-

One from Michael's

and one from

Target!

Calendar pocket folder from teaching store

$20 (way too expensive! Those teaching stores

committ highway robbery against teachers!)

{can I get an AMEN?}

Calendar accessories and weather tracker

Target Dollar SPOT!!!

(woohoo!)

The same thing at the teaching store

would easily be

$10 or more!

Yesterday was our first day

of 3rd Grade!

It went sooooo well! I loved it!!!

To my

utter surprise

the little boys played

so well together outside and allowed

Cade and I to get a lot of work done!

I loved that time alone with Cade!

He's a wonderful student!

I'll leave you with one more

favorite today.

This little bookmark is

my dream come true!

Cade reads a lot!

Every afternoon he has to read for

an hour.

This bookmark has been a life saver!

I just set it, and then I'm free to do whatever needs to be done

without worrying if Cade is

reading his required length of time.

Love it!

Have a

Fabulous Friday!
