10 Things to Smile about May


I ended up skipping April since I consumed myself with the A to Z Challenge and my life was quite BUSY during April.  Well, May has been just as busy as April (if not busier), but I am totally missing my blog so I found some time to write about May.  I don't know if I will be able to only write 10 since May was so full of awesome things!  Once again, thanks Emmy Mom for the inspiration!  You can find her here ---> EMMY MOM

1. Mother's Day
I visited my mom at both of my grandmother's homes.  This is a picture of my maternal grandmother's front yard.  It is full of pinwheels!  All the little ones were out there mesmerized by them!  I do not have little ones because my children are about grown.  However, I did enjoy the fun spirits of my nieces and baby cousins running through the yard of pinwheels! 

2. Taco Cupcakes!
These were made with love by my sister in law for my brother and nephew's birthday.  My sister in law is a VERY creative person.  I need to tell her to get a blog! 

3. 5th graders visit the local University!
I want our students to have the experience and exposure to college.  The students at my campus are not ones that may consider college an option.  I wanted to plant a seed in their minds to make it an option. So, I set up the visit.  
4. My niece visits her new school! 
I went with my sister to take my niece on her first visit to her new school where she will get to learn in two languages!  

5. My friend graduates from college!
I was so proud of my friend Dori.  She is married with 4 daughters.  She had a tough struggle getting through different life obstacles including having to care for her family and her mother.  She overcame those obstacles and obtained her bachelors degree!  Nothing like a girl who does what it takes to accomplish her goals!


6. Educational Bosses Day!
I love receiving fresh flowers!  These came from my wonderful staff as well as a gift card for a massage! :) Loved it!

7. My husband! 
I love how photogenic he is! :)

8. My beautiful children!  
This was taken the night my son attended his 8th grade dance.

9. This saying on Pinterest I found. 
I am trying to figure out what to place this saying on to give it to my husband for Father's Day.


10. And my country song of the month..Kenny Chesney's new one "Come Over."  He is my all time favorite country artist, but I do have many others I love!




**Bonus:  I finally did my first Walk!  It was a 3 mile walk to raise money for high school scholarships.  It was a tough walk, but I did it and am looking forward to more!  I didn't get to take any pictures though unfortunately.  I suppose I can cross this off my "list" of things to do. :)

I hope your May was as fun filled as my May.  Now to finish our last week of school.  I can't wait!  Like I have mentioned, it will be bittersweet-but I just can't wait for summer break to begin!  I need the downtime-which will lead to me blogging more frequently! :)
