12 in 2012 Linky Party

I decided to link up with Miss Kindergarten AND A Teeny Tiny Teacher for their 12 in 12 Linky Party.  Better late than never, right?  

All you have to do is think back at your favorites in 2012 and add a few pictures. What a fun way to remember the year, huh!? You can use these prompts if you'd like, or just type up your 12 favorite things! 

12. Favorite movie you watched:

I NEVER go to the movies.  Like, ever.  I probably saw 2, MAYBE 3 movies this year.  I really liked the Hunger Games and the final Twilight movie.  And yes, I read both book series.

11. Favorite TV series:

My fave new series this year was Happy Endings.  I also love Up All Night.  Both are HILARIOUS.

10. Favorite restaurant:

I like food.  My fave restaurant is probably our local Anamia's OR 7 Salsas because they have the most amazing homemade tortillas that taste like my grandma's tortillas tasted.

9. Favorite new thing you tried:

I can't think of anything...maybe creating my own clip art borders?  I've only used them a couple of times because I've had NO extra time to create any lessons.  Hoping I'll get some more ideas on paper this coming year.

8. Favorite gift you got:

Massage gift certificate.

7. Favorite thing you pinned:

There are too many.  Who knows?

6. Favorite blog post:

My Classroom Tour (I spent a lot of time--and $$--completely changing my room this year).

5. Best accomplishment:

Selling my first product on Teachers Pay Teachers!  I had no idea if anyone would be interested, but apparently people are!  Yay.  

I Did It!

4. Favorite picture:

At Hudson's 1st Birthday Party, May 2012

3. Favorite memory:

LOTS!  So many memories with my sweet boy!  Love watching him DANCE!

2. Goals for 2013:

Become a better housekeeper, cook more, leave school earlier!

1. One Little Word:

Balance.  I feel like I haven't been balancing being a teacher and being a mommy very well.  I want to spend more time at home and less time at school.  As much as I love my students and what I do, I have to draw the line somewhere.  I will never get it all done, and I need to focus on my family more!  Also, I'd love to find some balance in staying healthy--hit the gym at least once a week!

LOVE this blessing.  I sung it in high school, and it was read at our wedding.  

I wish you all the best in 2013, fellow teachers!

Thank you so much for hosting this linky party, Miss K and Kristin!  Hop on over and join in the fun if you haven't already!
