BOO!

I was boo'ed.  I've seen this cuteness around blogland recently and was hoping I could get in on the action.  Fortunately, Natalie at Teachery Tidbits chose me to BOO!

It's my turn!  So here are the rules:

1) Choose a fellow blogger that has more followers, another that has about the same number of followers, and someone that has less followers.

2) Blog about each of them and include this cute linky party icon in your blog.

3) Lastly, leave them love by offering them a goody from your store as their "treat." (If you have a store)

Joni found my blog through a Carolina Blogger Meetup post.  She was sweet enough to pop over and follow my blog and has left me a few comments.  It's nice to know that someone is reading this thing (for the record, my parents are now reading it after I walked my mom through step-by-step over the phone- Hi Mom!).  Joni has some great resources on her blog.  One day, my coffee and I are going to have a date and read through her archives.  It's amazing how much I continue to learn and grow as a teacher through others.

Rachel has twice as many followers as I do and we started blogging at about the same time so clearly she is a better blogger than I am ;)  BUT, we teach the same grade in the same county and just "met" through blogging.  It's so fun for me to read what she's doing in her classroom because we are doing the same things.  She's great, check her out!

Less followers:

My buddies at Fanatical in First Grade.  I met Tammy, Ashley, and Autumn at the Carolina Blogger Meetup.  They had also just launched their blog and they share my excitement about the blogging world and the hope of a quickly growing blog.

If I BOOed you, please email me at landingink@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post with your email address so I can get you your treat (a goodie from my TPT store!).  I couldn't find your emails!!

Go check out their blogs.  Happy Halloween!

Tell Me More!

I have a new found love of Linky Parties!  I'm linking with Step Into Second Grade this time.  Thank you to everyone who popped over from the Newbie Bloggers Blog Hop.  I'm on day 20 of blogging, so even though you basically know nothing about me, I'll tell you more ;)  

Travel back in time with me:

 We have been married for three years.  In that time, we've moved from Ohio to North Carolina, started new jobs and renovated a house (ourselves).  The only other thing we could have done to add some more stress is have a baby- but we're not ready for that yet!

 I was a cheerleader and competitive dancer growing up.  Dance was my passion but now I just bust a move at weddings and around my house.

 I grew up going to my family's beach house in Stone Harbor, New Jersey.  Yes, it is on the Jersey Shore.  No, it is nothing like the TV show.  It's my absolute favorite place in the world and I hope to own a home there someday.  It is the perfect family spot and I want my children to grow up on the same beach that I did.

 I have an older brother named Ryan.  This is my parents favorite picture of us.  He is extremely proud of his homemade boat cake and I have blue icing all over my mouth.  My facial expression gives you a little glimpse into my personality.

 This is my first day of Kindergarten!  I absolutely loved school.  I was one of those kids that hopped off the bus, ran inside, and taught my stuffed animals my homework.  If you ask anyone I went to school with what I do for a living, I guarantee they would all say "teacher".

Another classic 80's pic of my big brother and I.  I love accessories just as much now as I did then.  I'm also pretty sure those sunglasses are back in style.
