The last 72 hours have been a whirlwind. We got to Kentucky (our former home) Thursday at 3:30 am. Our purpose in the trip was to get anything we needed from the house (clothes, computer files, documents, etc) for life in Charleston. We are leaving our furniture in the house for now as our house has not sold. Major Sad Face.
But do not fret! We buried our St. Joseph statue on Thursday, and everyone swears to us that this will definitely help us in getting rid, moving out of my parents’ home selling our beautiful home!
Then today we loaded up my SUV with our things (let’s be honest 80 % of that car was full of teaching stuff) and headed to Charleston.
We are currently staying with my parents. I joke that they have lovingly agreed to accept two adults, one little boy, and a WILD tornado named Emmie. Prayers that we make it through the next couple of months!
Now--- I know many of you came just to see who won ALL eleven of my Busy Teacher’s Best Friends.
The lucky winner is Allison Taylor! Allison, I will be emailing you shortly friend!
Along with unpacking all of our junk tomorrow and making a quick trip to the beach, I PLAN on finishing up my Second Grade Edition. Plan being the key word ladies and gents.
I hope your house sells quick, friend!

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteI hope your house sells soon & that living with your folks goes smoothly. I was curious if you had any tips for a newbie-wannabe-blogger? I'm a first grade teacher (2nd year in 1st, spent 5 years in K). I am definitely interested in having Parker design a blog for me, but I don't even know where to start! I think I'd really like it.... should I start with just a classroom blog basically for parents? I don't have any products to sell... I know you are CRAZY busy with everything, but if you're ever wondering what you could blog about or if you wanna just shoot me an email, I'd be delighted to know some basic tips for starting a teacher blog (like yours- with a little bit of family stuff too).

Katie,
DeleteI was also going to ask you the same thing as Katie...you took the words right out of my mouth :) If you do have time to e-mail this information, would you mind including me in the e-mail as well. I have also been toying around with the idea of starting a classroom/family blog but wasn't sure how to go about trying to design it. I am so thankful that you included Parker's information and will definitely check out his services!
Thanks!

My sister in law also buried a St.Joseph statue, and it worked!! Good luck to you and your family.

My sister and my mom both buried the St. Joseph statue and it worked! Although my sister forgot to unbury it after she moved! It sold quickly after they buried it. Good luck and have fun in South Carolina. Safe travels back to SC! Looking forward to the new pack of the busy teacher for second grade!

Fingers crossed that St. Joseph works his magic! He did for us last year. :)
