Social Parade Friday!

It's Friday, and you know what that means! Time for more linking up with some blog hops! I'm really trying to reach my goal of 400 folllowers by June, so please help me out & stay a while!

You'll be glad that you did because I'm having 3 giveaways in June!

Today is Good Friday~ how are you celebrating?

If G cooperates, i'm taking her to see the Easter Bunny. She's told me that she didn't want to see him, so for her sake I'm leaving the choice up to her. If we do get out to see the Easter bunny we're also going to go to a local farm store & visit the baby chicks that should be there!

It's suppose to rain all weekend, so I'm thinking of saving the egg dyeing until next weekend when my mom & great-grandma are here to visit. I think they'll enjoy seeing her dye and hunt for the eggs!

I think we'll stick to hunting the Resurrection Eggs this weekend, making some Easter art, and baking an Easter cake!

Make sure you leave a comment, letting me know if you're a new follower (so I can return the favor) & let me know your plans for the weeekend!

Social Parade and Fessin Up Friday!

Today is the social parade on Smart and Trendy Moms! I want to thank them for allowing me to link up my blog, and welcome any new followers that have stopped over! If you'll leave me a comment; I'll follow you back! Feel free to take some time and look around!

It's my 2nd installment of "Fessin Up Friday".... I didn't make New Years Resolutions this year, because, let's face it, I can never keep them! So, instead, I'm making weekly goals for myself and blogging about them on "Make a Goal Monday" and "Fessin Up Friday!

So, let's suck it up, and fess up about how I did this week!
Goal #1 was to work out two times this week, and i'm pleased to announce that I did it! I went 3 miles on the elliptical on Monday, lifted weights, and did lunges- which, were still killing me on Tuesday! On Wednesday, I went 2 miles on the elliptical and lifted weights- so, yay me!
Goal #2 was to ship and complete all HPA orders before I received more. I was able to ship all but 1 order, and I still have 1 order to drop off. I need to sew an applique' shirt, and work on butterfly clippies. I also had an order for an Easter bow, and I received that ribbon yesterday! And, I did receive a new order today that I'll need to work on. So, I'd say I completed only half of this goal, but I'm still pleased with how much I completed!
Goal 3 was to cook in the crock pot- and I made a delicious roast today!
Goal 4 should have been easy- to attend small group- but, we had a huge snow on Tuesday, and small group was cancelled. Plus, I did not want our babysitter to drive here in the snow, and DJ ended up working a women's basketball game! So, we should complete this one next week!
Goal 5- take Gretchen to Mat Rats- this goal was completed today! She had an excellent time, with her friend Lily in the class, and was a wonderful listener!
Goal 6 was to complete 2 IEP's that I have at work! I have one finalized, and the other I have written- I just need to call the parent!

So, in all, I'd say I had a pretty successful week! I'm hoping that I'll have a productive weekend, since I'll have Monday off!

Thanks again for stopping over if you're new to HPA blog!

Can you believe it's Friday already?! Okay, well, I'm posting this on Thursday evening, but I'm so looking forward to tomorrow!

I've had a very busy week at work, not only was it my first full week back with students, but it was also spent traveling to community schools to complete hearing screens. You remember the drill from school- "raise your hand when you hear the beep." As a speech therapist, I should be attesting to how important it is, as more and more children are being identified with a hearing loss or impairment of some sorts. But, screenings also make for very long days!

To top it off, I was only able to spend a few afternoons in my building, so I feel like I haven't achieved anything! I had hoped to start seeing kids for therapy next week, but that looks very unlikely! My new goal is by next Wednesday, so we'll see if that happens!

If you're stopping over from the Social Parade, i'd love for you to take a few moments and check out my blog! Leave me a comment, if you're a new follower, and I promise I'll return the favor and follow you back!

My name is Elaine and I've been blogging for about a year and a half (wow, has it been that long?) I have been married for 4 1/2 years, and I have a 2 1/2 year old little honey pie! I work full time at an elementary school, as their speech pathologist, and in my spare time (haha) I operate my business "Honey Pie Accessories".

I blog about many things! I love to blog about my family and crafts. I'll post recipes, activities, and each week I have a "Teaching Tots" segment, where I talk about fun activities that you can do with your toddler or preschooler! I'm also going to start a weekly link-up called "What's in it?" that will start this Wednesday (which reminds me, that I have to get started on that post!)

For those of you who decide to follow me, thank you!!! and I'll follow each of you back. I love reading new blogs and having new readers!
