{About Me}

Hi everyone!

I’m Lauren Livengood, and this is my third year as a 1st grade teacher here in Ohio, in the same city where I grew up.  I love, love what I do! The little ones absolutely have my heart.  I love that every day is different and exciting!

My hubby Kyle and I have been married for two years.  We have a super adorable (and very high energy) cockapoo named Zoey who I adore.  Kyle and I recently bought our first house, which we’re enjoying remodeling and decorating.  I like to read, relax, and SHOP!  And, I think I can officially say that I am a runner!  I took up running after Kyle did his first marathon, and while I’m not quite on his level, he is joining me as I run my first Half Marathon this year!  Eeek!

 

I started this blog with a few goals in mind.  First, I have been SO inspired by Pinterest, TpT, and the many, many incredible teacher blogs I’ve stumbled upon.  I have gotten so many super ideas from these sites that I can’t believe just a year ago I knew nothing of them!  I love that the members of our profession are so passionate and willing to share their awesomeness!  You have all made me a better teacher!  So, one goal of my blog is to share my teaching life and classroom creations with you.  I started making my my own products on TpT over the summer, and I really enjoy it.  (After all, it’s all about cute, creative, organized things – what teacher doesn’t love that??)

My other hope for my blog is that it allows me to journal my time with each class of kiddos.  I’m only beginning my third year, and already the first two are blending together…Sheesh!  I want to be able to remember these kids, these families, these experiences, these lessons, everything!  So, this blog is in part for me.

Although I’m still fairly new to all this, I hope I can make your stop here worthwhile in some way!  Thank you all so much for inspiring me!  J

P.S. I'd love to hear your feedback!  You can reach me at mrslivengood1@gmail.com.  Happy teaching!
