Let me Google that for you

Have you seen this site.  It makes my giggle.  :-)  Let me Google That For you (http://lmgtfy.com/) This site basically makes a short video recording of you doing a Google Search for anything that you would like and then it gives you a URL that you could send someone.  Here is one that I made- Let Me Google That Video.  While I would NEVER send this to someone- well, maybe for a practical joke it is fun nonetheless!  Enjoy!

My blackberry isn't working!

I LOVE this kinda stuff!  Check out this video from the UK making fun of all of the technology lingo out there!  I learned via the YouTube comments that the 'Orange' that he refers to is a mobile phone network in the UK.  Enjoy!

Kitchens, Tool Benches, Wedding Dresses and Fancy Paper!

I cannot believe Christmas break is over.  Seriously, that went so quick!  I spent most of my time at home with my two little kids.  :-)  Christmas was a blast- my three year old was so excited.  My husband has been hard at work most of December working at Santa's Workshop to create a kitchen set for Eliza and a workbench for one year old Henry.  

So stinkin' cute!  I made a Shuterfly recipe book to go along with the kitchen.  It has a recipe for each member of our immediate family, each grandparent and aunt and uncle along with their picture with Eliza.  Love it!

I'm working on a photo wall at home and through this project my daughter saw many picture of my in my princess (wedding) dress.  To make a long story short we ended up doing an impromptu photo shoot of her wearing my dress.  :-)  Upon sending these pictures to my husband he stated that he just isn't ready for that yet!  When she is all sweet and cute like this she can melt your heart, when you wake her up in the morning that is quite another story!

I've been working on a new item for the shop.  It is a set of 20 writing papers featuring dots, stripes and candy.  Check it out here! 

Have a great day!  

Read Around the Christmas Tree

It's Right to Read week next week and that means it's time to get the library all decked out!  This morning I spent some time with the help of several students creating out Reading Tree!   Love it!  I'm not sure of it's orignal source, or where I found it really?  Maybe Pinterest? 

Hands down the best part is watching the student's reaction when the walk in= awesome.  We are celebrating all week next week.  

Monday is Christmas Shirt/Sweater day

Tuesday- Green and Red Day

Wednesday- The spirit of giving (instead of picking a theme we are focusing on giving to local nursing homes both in donations and in handmade Christmas cards.  

Thursday is Christmas Hat Day 

Friday (early dismissal day!) Crazy Christmas Sock Day

Get excited!  And more importantly get reading!

Draw A Stickman

This has very little educational value but man is it fun!  I love doing it in those extra few minutes of class before the bell rings- it is also really good for helping young students learn mouse control.  Draw A Stickman takes your stickman drawing and brings it to life!  Seriously, take a minute and play you will be glad that you did!

Frosty gets caught...

I realize this is early but it makes me smile.  :-)

Passwords

Creating a strong passwords is extremely important today.  With so much important information linked to all of our accounts we really need to keep them straight.  However, if you are anything like me sometimes, it takes quite a while to get logged onto some of my lesser used accounts.  This comedians video seriously cracked me up.  :-)

Hope that you were as amused as I was!  On a side note, here are some helpful tips to create a strong password that is easy to remember. 

And here is the list of the 370 most common passwords used on Twitter, but I imagine that the list fairly universal.  If yours is on the list, I would strongly consider changing it!  Do you have any helpful password tips?
