these are a few of my favorite things

not much time for blogging this week
I reaaallllyyy miss it!
but we finally had our first night in our new home
even though Mr Lamb and I slept on the floor!
I'll be posting more on the house and my updated drawer labels from Monday on next week's Monday Made it!

I wanted to link up with my friend Halle for her summer linky series!
so here are my "schooltime" morning must-haves

first things first-hair care {or lack of probably!}

I have very straight, fine but thick hair...and I have dark brown hair which most people do not realize because it hasn't been that color since 8th grade! I adore the smell of Bed Head's Colour Goddess. It smells like caramel! I also use Big Sexy hair's Powder play. In the past I always used baby powder to give my roots a boost. I still do a lot because it's cheap and works, but this powder is for really-o! My hair looked great even after field day! Perfect for humidity and fine hair that falls limp! I live by my Chi. {I got mine at Target for 100$} I have straight hair, but I like it straight. I'm not as faithful to my heat protection for my locks, but I am attempting to grow it out, so I need to get better with that!

I am not a water drinker by any means. I normally only do Diet Coke or Diet Sundrop, but this stuff is amazing! I drink one each morning during guided reading. It tastes good and according to the label makes non-morning people more tolerable! That's me!

My grade level used Heidi's Common Core Morning Workbook {Early Birds}. I LOVE, love, love these books! They progressively build skills and vocab. They are truly a blessing for this teacher who needs a little "me" time in the am, even if for just 10 minutes.

We check it together under the doc camera right after the tardy bell. One kiddos per day is our checker. They love being the checker! Go grab this NOW! She also has a first grade version. Plus we bought the homework and fluency books. I can say "we" because when you purchase, she allows grade level usage which is awesome! I'll probably pick up the morning messages for next year too! Heidi is so through and all her stuff looks professional.

when I am not in school or have a worksop, one of these are my daily breakfast choices. I hate when I sleep and miss the 10:30 breakfast cutoff at McDonalds! I am really into the sausage McMuffin with egg whites. Yum-o!

and every morning while I am waiting on Jake to get ready, or when there is a small break in the am, I have my phone! I bought this case on very jane. The green matches my Diet Sundrop can! In fact, I did not even have an iPhone 5 when I bought it. So I guess I upgraded my phone just for this case!

There you have it. 

Now go and link up fashionably late with Halle!
