Shout out Linky

Did I ever say how much I love linkys?  If not, I'm saying it now.  Standing on the top of a mountain, shouting it to the world, "I {heart} Linkys!" They are a great way for me to find new amazing blogs/bloggers to keep up with, and get my blog out there too!  In a matter of 2 days, I went from 20 followers, to 35! All thanks to some lovely ladies hosting some awesome linky parties!

I'm linking up with Lisa over at Growing Firsties and Katie over at Teacher to the Core for their Shout Out Linky.  A monthly linky where you get to shout out to some bloggers who have inspired you.  The rules are: Shout out one blogger who has more followers than you and one who has less (Don't forget to let them know!), then follow Farley's "Rule of 3".  Head on over to the blogs of the 2 that linked before you and the 1 after.  It's the BEST way to get new bloggy friends.. seriously!

My first shout out goes to Hope King over at Second Grade Shenanigans

She has way, way, waaaaay (65x more to be exact) followers than I do.  I kind of have a little bloggy crush on her- Yea I admit it.  She doesn't know it, oh wait... now she does.  See before I started my own blog, whenever I was looking for ideas, she was my go to blog that I could always count on.  She has **Ah-mazing** ideas and you can tell that she really loves what she does.  Her units and resources that she creates are just awesome and anything you were to purchase from her TPT would not let you down, trust me!  I aspire to one day be able to create the amazing things she does and just be as plain awesome.  I think she needs to go back down to Second Grade!!

My next shout out goes to Danielle over at Carolina Teacher.  

I actually JUST found her recently through none other than a linky!  Like me, she is a new blogger- so lets get name out there!   And she teaches in NC too, which I think is pretty awesome :).  She has some great ideas and if you teach those little Kinders, these ideas would be perfect for you!  I can't forget to  mention how super adorable her little pup is! Seriously, go over and check her out!

Before I go, I will leave you with 2 things.. I just have to share this picture of my sweet little pup who is not feel so well.  Does he not look absolutely pathetic?

And this.. because you all rock and I know this is true about every single one of you!

Don't forget to go link up

Cheers to 2013!
