Blueberries, Pineapples, and FDR

March 29, 2009 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

What could these three topics possibly have in common? Well, they all involve what I did on this lazy Sunday!

I was craving blueberry muffins this morning but didn’t have a mix so I decided to pull a Sweet Cheeks move and make them from scratch! I even had some frozen blueberries left over from my jam making last summer.I googled “easy blueberry muffins” to find a recipe that would include all of the ingredients I had. Well, I’d have to say that although the muffins were cute as can be, they were less than desirable in the taste department! Oh well…they were supposedly low-fat! I’ll bring them to school tomorrow and feed my homeroom or my fellow teachers!

Task #2 was slicing and dicing this nice pineapple…in all my 28 years I’ve never cut up a fresh pineapple but I saw them in the grocery store yesterday and just couldn’t resist!

After my culinary endeavors were through, I worked on a lesson covering Hoover and FDR’s responses to the Great Depression and that’s when I came across this:

I like to inject a little bit of humor into every lesson so I put it in my slide show for tomorrow’s lesson…keeps those kids on their toes! What’s also funny about this is that for the past week or so, a little spider has taken up residence in my bathroom. Normally I’m not a huge fan of spiders but I kind of like having the company! As long as she (yes, she, thanks to Charlotte’s web) stays in the bathroom and out of my sheets, then we can live a relatively happy co-existence!

We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺

Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗

I can’t get enough of these cute visitors (and also know I won’t be spending a ton on landscaping since most plants won’t stand a chance)! 🤣
