A shout out to...

my parents!  So, every time my parents come visit I feel like we have projects for them to help us with because they are both so talented and my dad can build and make anything!  For a while now I have been wanting shelves built in our attic closet and a few weekends ago my dad and Kody made that happen!  This room is part of our attic but is closed in with AC.  It is a very nice room but has been very cluttered and messy due to no shelving!  With me staying home, I now have a whole classroom that I am having to store too, which has been in my dining room since June.  It is now all in that closet and so organized!  It is amazing!  I am so excited with how it turned out!  I LOVE it!!  Thank you Dad and Kody for building the shelves and Mom for helping me clean and organize all of our mess!  You are both amazing!!

My own personal Children's library!  The is the little office area right before you enter the attic closet!  I eventually want to get the desk out of there and put in a child size table and maybe a bean bag for Addison to read books, work puzzles and play in! 

I wish I had a "before" picture, but I don't.  So imagine a very cluttered room with no shelves and that what this room looked like before.  I'm not through organizing yet, but ta da!  To the far left I have my gift bags, paper, etc and then all of my seasonal stuff.  

A teachers heaven!  A place to store all of my "stuff"!  :-)

And then all of this is my teacher stuff or my "classroom" all packed up!  I love that I can just walk in here and find what I need if I need it!  I love all of my teacher stuff and even if I don't go back to teaching any time soon I can still use it to teach Addison and prepare her for Kindergarten many, many years from now!  I have also thought about tutoring Kindergarten students or struggling readers in the future too.  We will see!  Now sure how that will play out having a little one, but I like the idea! 

It's so crazy that I'm not teaching this year, but I am at total peace with it and am so excited to be staying home with my little girl!  She is so amazing and I can't imagine a more rewarding job!
