Where do I blog from?

It is that time again.
This week’s “the good life” link up theme is
WHERE DO YOU BLOG FROM???
 
So I have a confession
I DON’T HAVE THE INTERNET!!!!
Yes I am a blogger but I don’t have the internet at home
(other than on my smart phone)
Long story short, when we first moved out here I called to get it hooked up
and they said the only one that was available (at the time) was really poor quality,
like worse than dial up and still pretty pricey….NO THANKS!
I just decided to go without. 
I need to look into it again because I hear there are more options now
but we have been out here for almost 3 years and it is working fine...well it's working.
How do I post with no internet???
Well I type up my blog posts out here on my laptop and then when I’m in town I publish.

For Mother’s Day the hubs and the kids gave me this swing
It is awesome!!!!   
Seriously the most comfortable swing ever and the perfect spot to blog!
I had been eying it at the local farm store.
No jewelry for me for Mother’s Day, just shopping at the farm store! :)
It has an amazing view, and located out back by the chicken coop. 
I enjoying watching the chickens out in the run as I type.
 This is the perfect spot to sit relax, watch the kiddos play and type up a new blog post!

Career Day


It is that time again. 
Kelsey from Keeping up with Kelsey and I are co-hosting another  link-up.
You probably noticed we skipped our "the good life" link-up last week. 
No great excuse...Wednesday just snuck up on us with Monday being a holiday!

This week’s theme is  CAREER DAY.

Well….right after High school I went to college and graduated with a degree in
Interior Design and minored in Art.
I did design work for a few years and really enjoyed it
but decided to follow my original passion, to be an Art Teacher!
So now I have my teaching license but am not a teacher, YET.
Living in rural Nebraska there is not a lot of demand for art teachers
but I am confident that soon I will have job doing what I love!
For now I am a substitute teacher and I am really enjoying it.
I feel that these years of being a sub are going to make me a much more effective teacher.
I am able to learn/observe/try out a variety of classroom management styles.
One of the perks of being a sub is the extra flexibility,
which is especially nice with 2 young cowgirls not yet in school.
I am enjoying being a sub but the goal is to be a full time teacher in the future.

{I plan to never grow up} Being a teacher allows me to always look forward to
Christmas break, snow days, and SUMMER VACATION!
Since it is summer vacation…..I am currently a stay at home mom.
So now I spend my days watering flowers, working in the garden, cleaning,
laundry, playing with kids, going to the pool, play dates, baseball games,
library visits, cooking, working on projects, chores, and a lot more….
I love summer and being home with my kids!!!! 

Shhhh....I don't get dressed up nice everyday! 
If I have no place to go and I'm just going to be out at the farm all day I look more like this...
I’m looking forward to reading others career day posts.
