COME SEE MY NEW BLOG!

Shut. The. Front. Door.

Are you seeing my new blog? I mean reeeeeealllly seeing it? I am completely obsessed. It is redesigned and amazing, if I do say so myself. I actually did it all by myself. And by that, I mean I had absolutely nothing to do with it. The phenomenal, spectacular, and creative genius Tenille from Designs by Tenille did a bang up job remodeling KinderLand! I could not be more excited about it. And how sweet is it that she kept the feel of my old blog design with the little sunglasses? Sigh, love her.

If you are in the business for a bloggy makeover, Tenille is your girl. She was quick and had awesome ideas. She was also super kind and loving when I had about 400 suggestions/needs. She didn't even pay me to say all of this, haha, she's just spectacular!

Here are a few things to check out:
*Mostly every font on this page is my own creation! Hooray to that!
*Peek at the new tabs across the top and check out what's new there
*See my awesome social media links across the top? Click 'em and go stalk me already.
*Look at that beautiful new button - super chic
*That little "scroll to top" button is one of the cutest things I have ever seen
*New and ridiculously awesome "pin it" button on all pictures! Finally!

So there you have it! I hope you'll peek around at all the new fun!

Kinder Kid Said Whaaat? {A New Linky!}

Hello fabulous you! I'm starting something new today. The new school year is about to begin and I'm in total stress mode people. I've been trying to remind myself of all the things I love about my job and if there is one thing that I love more than anything else, it is listening to the things my crazy kids say. They literally make me bust out laughing every day. Half the time they don't even mean to be funny, they just plain are.

I try to write things down as often as possible, because I can never remember exactly how it went down later. You know that awkward moment when you try to explain a funny story to someone, and you're like "no wait, first he said, no I mean, well anyway..." and you finally get done and they give you a pity chuckle, "heh heh" and you say "Well it was funnier then, you had to be there." That happens to me allll the time. Hence, I must write things down. I have a word document with about 50 pages of funny things I have heard over the past few years and countless sticky notes with scribbled quotes from my kinder krew. I have decided to start a weekly linky where I will share some of the hilarity that is my life with you. Let me introduce you to...

To kick things off, I will share a few of my favorites from this year :)


 There was many-a-time this year that I had to just take a break for a few minutes to collect myself. My kids this year were mini-adults, they knew EVERYTHING and had no shame in sharing it.
I love them so much :)

 Now that I have shared a few from my group, I would LOVE to hear from you!
This is a no pressure, link up whenever you feel like it, or don't link up at all, kind of linky.
You can link up once a week, once a month, once ever, or just stop by to read some of the funny things that people share!

Link up if you are a teacher of ANY grade level or a parent with a funny child!

Here are some blank templates that you can use if you want, or you can just type it in a regular post!


 I hope you'll join me in sharing the funny with the world!

I am still searching around and plan to add much more to the list!
