Perhaps you have heard of this thing called Pinterest. Besides reading blogs, this is what I do after Gus goes to bed. Some people read a good book before bed....I read blogs and pin.
If you haven't heard of pinterest, you definitely need to check it out. It is my new crazy obsession....much to my husbands dismay! This site is essentially a social network to share ideas on EVERYTHING! I have currently found 2000+ ideas to "pin" on my boards. 2000+ things that I want to try or I want to remember or that I want to share with someone else because they might like it. At the rate I am going, I am going to end up on a special edition of the tv show, "Hoarders". They will have "Hoarders: Pinterest Edition" just for me. I cannot get enough of the ideas that are on there. So many great ideas out there in the world and I just want to soak them all up!! I have actually done quite a few of these already. There are so many other things I plan to try this summer.
If you recall, one of my other favorite things to do is read blogs. One of my favorites is the terpblog. I have known this blogger since high school. She is a great Thirty-One customer of mine and just recently allowed me to be part of her first blog give away. Who doesn't love FREE Thirty-One stuff?? Anyway, the terpblog co-hosting a Pinterest Link Up. So if you love blogs and love Pinterest like I do, you need to check this out. Lots of great bloggers and pinners! Lots of great ideas!!

5 MORE GET UPS!!
Only 5 more days to get up and get out of bed to go to work until I am on SUMMER VACATION!!! I know that there are many out there who are saying, "Oh! It must be nice to be a teacher and have the summer off!" Well, to be honest, "YES!! Yes, it is!!" But that was my choice. We all make choices in life and those of you who really want to say that to me....you should have chosen to be a teacher! :)
I love teaching! I love my job! I am SUPER lucky to have my job! I love working with my students. BUT I am SO READY for summer vacation!! As teachers we NEED this break to rejuvenate for the fall. And who are we kidding...the kids NEED it, too!
Summer vacation means so many things for the Stape Fam.
1) It's birthday month!! Both Gus and I will celebrate our birthdays in June. I CANNOT believe that my baby will be THREE!! Just seems so surreal! I have been so incredibly blessed the past 3 years! I am such a lucky girl! A few days after Gus turns 3, I turn....ummm....a year older. But as my sister and I will tell you, that means CAKE!! Who doesn't love birthday cake?!?
2) We get to be home together as a family all summer long! How cool is that?? We get to be together and play. It really does not get better than that! I love that Joel and I both work in education. My parents did, too, and it was awesome that we got to spend so much time together. We always knew that there would be family trips or activities in the summer. I just love that we get to spend so much time together.
3) I have more opportunities to do things that get put on the back burner during the school year. This blog for example! Unless there is earth shattering news...which isn't very often in our family, I often forget about posting new info. As I look back on the past 3 1/2 years (I KNOW!!) that I have been blogging, I did a lot more blogging in the summer. Clearly due to having extra time. So watch out world....it is almost super blogging time!
4) CRAFTS!! How many of you are on Pinterest? You can find all of my pins HERE. This is one of my new obsessions! I have been pinning away and getting TONS of ideas but having no time to follow thru with them. So....here we go! I am ready to get my craft on!!
5) Home projects. Now that we have been in the house for over a year, I am ready to really organize and get this place in order! I feel like life has just been speeding by and instead of taking time for these projects, I choose to play with Gus. I mean...who wouldn't??
6) Travel....a little bit less. This year our goal is to cut back a little bit on our traveling. Every summer we live out of a suitcase. The goal this year is to cut way back on it. Beyond visiting grandparents, and my trip to Atlanta for the Thirty-One National Conference, we will be staying close to home. I am SO looking forward to that!
7) Wedding bells! My sister is getting married!! And I can't wait! We are beyond excited for her and Nate and can't wait until the big day arrives this summer. (I am sure you will hear more about this as the day approaches.)
Lots on the Stape Family agenda but we are very excited to get through the next 5 days so that we can begin our summer of fun!!

White?!?
Unbelievable! I can't believe that I am actually painting a room white! Okay so only half of it is white....but still. I am one of those who craves color. I can't stand when I have a "blank" room. I need to cover it up with some color. Today I spent a good portion of the day working on our guest room. The room will be black, white and lime green. Do you know how much fun it is to paint a wall black? It is super fun!! (Remind me in the future when I am painting that room for another child not to complain about painting over the black...I liked it at one point.) Pictures of the final product will be coming soon....
