Happy Mother's Day and My Summer Bucket List

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there!!  I have been a mother for 10 years now!!  I can't believe it.  In my 20's I never thought I wanted to have kids especially as a teacher.

 I was so fortunate to have two beautiful daughters.
This is one of my favorite pics of my daughters and I.

I also love this pic of my mom and I.  I look so much like her it's amazing!!


Well for my Mother's day we celebrated yesterday in Waikiki. It was beautiful and we enjoyed dinner on the beach and watched the sunset:)

Today my hubby took the girls out for the day and I am enjoying a peaceful day at home cleaning, doing laundry and playing on the computer:))
I NEVER get to be alone these days, so this is a big treat for me!

So I am also putting together my Summer Bucket List.

Summer Bucket List

These lovely ladies are hosting a fun linky to share your summer ideas and projects.

Well the first thing I plan to do is surf as much as possible:))

    I love the filing cabinet idea! I might have to add that one to my list too! I'm also going to work on aligning our reading series to CCSS. I hope you blog about that a bit over the summer!

    I love to share pictures, you and your girls on the beach....so beautiful. I do not surf but I love beach days ! And RDJ.....hello ! He can make any curriculum or standard much easier to handle :) One of my fav. actors, just loved the poster. This summer, I am dreaming about reading, sitting on my deck, spending lots of time with my Mom (who was recently ill), gardening, traveling to Cape Cod and getting my daughter ready for University. Lots of changes ahead.....

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm your newest follower! I can't wait to read all about your teaching in Hawaii. You are SO lucky to live there... I try to visit Kauai (Poipu area) every 5 years! It's my most favorite place on Earth! :)

      Thank you Bethany! We went to Kauaii last year, but didn't make it down to Poipu! We spent most of it in Hanalei Bay:)) Next time...

    Hi Corinna! Thanks for checking out my blog! I'll be on Oahu, actually. My brother moved to Honolulu, or whatever part of Honolulu he's in. He works for the dept. of ed. as... I don't know what. You don't have an Ellie Meihak in your first grade class, do you? You maybe have a huge school and don't even know. I sadly don't even know the name of her school, but I'll check!

    Aloha! Can't wait to visit your island!!! It looks awesome!

    Oh, like that file cabinet - never would have even thought of doing that. Is it contact paper? Duct tape?

      I think the sides are painted and the front is scrapbook paper. I am going to use Modge Podge and paper to decoupage mine:))

    Hi Corinna! I love your blog and think it's really cool that you teach in paradise! We have done a few map activities on Hawaii and My 2nd graders would love to skype with your class and learn a little more! WE get out of school on the 31st but are available all next week and 3 day the following week. Let's make it happen!

    Ugh...I am 100% jealous of you and being in Hawaii! My husband is a Hawaiian native and from Kaneohe! We want to move back soooo bad but just can't right now. We currently live in NC. Maybe some day!

    Love your blog! I am your newest follower! Come check me out at tonyastreatsforteachers.blogspot.com
