Tried It Tuesday- Food Trucks!

Wow it has been so long since I blogged!!! I can't even begin to explain how crazy this past week and half has been! YIKES! You'll see from my post below how much has been going on. My last post was my Friday Fabulist Linkup...thanks so much to all of those who linked up! Check back this Friday for more Fabulist things!!

Okay so now I am going to link up with my good friend Holly at Fourth Grade Flipper for her Tried It Tuesday link up. I absolutely love this link up and have the PERFECT post to go a long with it.

Tonight I drove into Buffalo for their weekly Food Truck Tuesdays at Larkin Square.

Let me tell you it was many OH MY GOD moments. So every Tuesday from May until October Food Trucks come for 3 hours and you get try all different kinds of food, with drinks and music too!
It was the perfect end to the first day back to school after a long week (extra long for me as I took personal days for an event that I will explain later!!)


Okay so obviously back to the FOOD...I took pictures of everything I ate so you can see how absolutely delicious everything was. (don't worry I split the food so I could try a little of everything)---perfect solution to eating at food trucks. However--I already can't wait to go back to try more, so many trucks I didn't even get to see!!

So many people lined up at all the trucks!!

First stop: The Meat Ball Truck Co. ( I am pretty sure he is from my hometown in Pittsford, NY)--how cool is that!?!

Needless to say--the meatballs were delicious. Just look at them...two meatballs, cheese and garlic bread.
















Next stop was Macarollin'---obviously mac n cheese

We tried the bacon mac n cheese...so delicious, but seriously filling! We saved the rest for lunch tomorrow!

At The Great Foodini--we tried the buffalo chicken spring rolls (sorry no picture) I don't know why I didn't take one!! Maybe because there was a complete downpour as we were waiting in line!!!

We also went to The Whole  Hog and go a pulled pork Asian slaw baguette. This was not my favorite..I had one bite and that was enough for me :) Sorry no picture!!

So many food trucks! We were definitely enjoying all the different foods :)












Can't complete a meal without dessert..... Supernatural Sundae from The Sweet Hearth






Definitely a well worth it Tried it Tuesday :)


Check out my next post today about my weekend and Stitch Fix Review #3!!

This is how it works:

Okay so it is called....Friday Fabulist
It is going to be about showing off something "fabulous." Whether it is in your classroom or your closet. Either one will work..since I LOVE both (and I know most of you do too)!!
SOO...What is ONE thing that you just bought (stitchfix friends)...already have....or something you just have to have (dream closet or dream classroom)..that is absolutely fabulous! Any piece of clothing or accessory trend that you are in love with, a new product for your classroom that you can't live without, a fabulous find at the store.... anything that can be added to the "fabulist." Hopefully we can come together and share what is on each of our fabulists!

I don't mind posts about TPT products but please don't use this link up to advertise for your store! Thanks so much :)


My first Friday Fabulist is my newest Alex and Ani Braclet!!! Don't get me wrong..I love the dangle braclets..but the new designs called "studs" are FABULOUS!

Look at how fabulous these sole society shoes are....these are something on my "I really really want Fabulist"Ahh maybe someday......

Wordless Wednesday- Chicks and a Storm?

Wow--I can't believe it has a been a few days since I last posted!! I'm not kidding when I say this has been the longest week ever (How can it only be Wednesday!?) Ahh. Well anyways I see that a lot of you are also feeling the end of the year pressure. Let's get through this together!! 

I am linking up with the wonderful Christina (Miss DeCarbo at Sugar and Spice!!) I love the idea of Wordless Wednesday...especially when it has been a long day...or week. Ha!  See her post from today and link up here

A picture is worth a thousand words. 

As a special education teacher, I go into the 6th grade Science class for half of the period. We are starting CHICKS...that's right...hatching chicks... this week and the eggs came yesterday!! Each student gets to have their own chick and watch it hatch!!! A special thanks (and props) to my friend and coworker Mrs. McChesney for teaching such a wonderful unit at the end of the year for our students!!

Here they are in the incubators in the classroom! I will keep you all updated for the next 21 days until the chicks hatch!!

Okay so those of you in the northeast..what is up with this storm! One minute I walk into the store and it's sunny and warm..and when I leave....total downpour and dark!

How are you ending the year?!?!

Positive Thinking Thursday--It's 72 degrees and a Beautiful Butterfly!

Today has been a beautiful day and only makes me think that "spring" is finally here! It's 72 degrees out side...the sun is shining at 6:30pm and I have my windows open! Woo!! So I am linking up with Mrs. Laffin's Laughings forPositive Thinking Thursday

My positive thoughts for today....

30 something days left I think :) we can do it!!! Even thought my kids have checked out..and somedays I have even checked out...I just have to remember to Keep Calm and get through the rest of May and June until Summer! 


Check this out...our 5th grade science class was keeping a moth in a clear plastic container to see if it would hatch into a butterfly and just the other day it did!! Isn't it absolutely beautiful!?!?

I don't think we figured out what kind of butterfly it is yet..if you are a butterfly expert and know what kind..let me know so I can tell my students!!!

fun happenings-SLANTbox, StitchFix, Teacher Appreciation!

There are a lot of fun things that have happened so far this week! 

First I am participating in SLANTbox with Jameson from Lessons with Coffee for the first time!! I am paired up with two amazing teachers Erin over at A Piece of the Apple and Mandee over at Mrs. Ashline's 4th Grade 

SLANT means Sending Love Across the Nation to Teachers. I LOVE this idea and the fact that I am obsessed with all these boxes lately :) Here are the rules from Jameson's Blog: 
Definitely join in the fun for JUNE!


Speaking of boxes...guess what showed up on my doorstep on Tuesday?!?!

STITCH FIX....the best mail in the world. It was waiting at my front door when I got home from chaperoning JV softball.  What a pretty package! 

In case you didn't read my first review found here

 


 Your stylist will send you a little note to tell you why they chose the pieces they did for your fix.

Your stylist will send you these style cards that match with the pieces sent. A great idea for those that struggle with matching signature pieces and mixing up textures and colors. 

 Here were all of my pieces :) Love the colors...was not a fan of most in my fix...hopefully my stylist and I will get on the same page soon! I am keeping a positive mind since it was only my second fix. 

 First I tried on the necklace. Love the idea of the statement necklace,,,but I usually like gold toned necklaces...so back it went. 


Check out what you can get in your fix here!

 This piece was very form fitting and I do not like that as much as a loose tunic or blouse. It was also a little pricy for what you got. So I didn't keep this either.


I also tried on a peplum tank top..I don't even have a picture because it was not good! It was a crop top peplum...hmm. Interesting and was definitely not flattering like I thought it would be! I was excited when I saw I was getting a peplum top..but disappointed once I saw it out of the box. 

I kept asking for dresses in my fix so I was glad when I saw that I had two! I LOVED One and HATED the other...can you guess which one I LOVED?!

If you guess the one in the RIGHT you are correct. The MAXI was really flattering on and even though it is low cut..I can wear a tank top under it for school. 

The one on the left...was a bright blue color (better picture if you scroll back up) this is an eyelet dress. I was not a fan..the eyelet hanging over the edge of the dress made is seem unfinished and I just did not like the plastic looking belt that went a long with it. 

I did write really specific feedback this time in all the note sections at checkout. I am hoping with my feedback and my more detailed style profile my next fix will be spot on! For those of you trying out stitch fix..make sure you are as specific as you can be about what you like and don't like!!
So you win some and you lose some...I only kept the black and white striped maxi dress...I know what you are all thinking...but a girl can never have too many maxis! Especially heading into spring and summer!! Even though I kept only one piece...I still think Stitch Fix is fun and exciting. Everyone should check it out at least once! Click here to find out more about stitch fix!

I scheduled to receive my fixes every 2-3 weeks..so my next delivery is May 27th!! I can't wait because this is right after my sister's wedding!! Perfect just in time for JUNE. 


Also...as you all know it is Teacher Appreciation week. I just have to give a shout out to our Elementary PTC and to our principal who is definitely making this week special!


We had icecream sundaes today with our lunch and Friday we will have a special luncheon. Thank you for all the love this week :)






















I hope you can all appreciate my new TPT store. I would love the support as I continue to grow and make new items to share with all of you!! I promise to follow you all in return too!

Wordless Wednesday-New Books!

I wasn't planning on blogging today because I didn't have a picture for wordless Wednesday and I have been exhausted (I know..how terrible is that!!)... BUT then I went to the Chautauqua Country Reading Council Spring Banquet. I had an ah ha moment and it all changed...  I am linking up with the wonderful Christina (Miss DeCarbo at Sugar and Spice!!) I love the idea of Wordless Wednesday...especially when it has been a long day.  See her post from today and link up here

A picture is worth a thousand words. 

I LOVE going to the CCRC Banquet in the spring because we get to listen to an author speak! This year was Ann E. Burg...author of Serafina's Promise and All the Broken Pieces...both are must reads!!

Here we are skyping with Ann and both books I will have signed by her as well!

 

Also- Look at all of these :) Don't you just love new books for your classroom library!?!
