Insta-Friday

December 28, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Now that I have my new iPhone I’ve been all over Instagram! So today I’m linking up with Jeanette at Life Rearranged for
life rearranged

My vacation week so far…Christmas decorations are already packed up! 
I think it’s safe to say I have a mild obsession with shiny, sparkly, silver things…
My favorite new ornament (what teacher wouldn’t love this?)

For some reason, I keep getting free copies of ESPN magazine mailed to me…confusing because I’m really more of a Better Homes and Gardens/Glamour magazine kinda gal…
I think I’ll read them to expand my horizons!

 Vacation project/New Year’s resolution= Get organized!

As I was organizing, found this gem stashed in a drawer…
School pic 2012!

 We got lots of snow here in Maine yesterday…welcome Winter!

We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. 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! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Doing my damndest to raise my daughter in a world Doing my damndest to raise my daughter in a world where everyone can live as their most authentic, unique, truest selves and will be accepted and loved for exactly who they are! Happy Pride Month! ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was get Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was getting ready for bed and I looked out my window and saw both a deer and a bunny and pretty much felt just like Snow White! 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)! 🤣
Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!
Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love w Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love with my recent find…the curves are just so darling! I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?
