Friday Favorites

Ahh the day is finally here! It's been a while since I've posted a Friday Favorites so I figured I was due for an update...just like my cell phone! I still have my trusty iPhone 4s. We're going on 4.5 years together :) I'm linking up with Erika, Narci, and Andrea!

Let's get down to business..

Yesterday I recapped my strategies for avoiding teacher burn out and a career change. You can see that post here! 

It's feeling more like fall around here! Although we've had some higher temps this week, my heart, mind, and closet are transitioning into fall.

This weekend I have big plans with a pumpkin spice latte! Also planning on baking some pumpkin chocolate chip bread. #katiecrocker

Living in Buffalo has many, many perks. One that benefits teachers in particular is The Teacher's Desk. It's a non-profit organization that collects donations and allows teachers to shop for free in their warehouse. I wish I had a picture of my cart because holy cow! I easily had over $500 worth of product in my cart. 

The Teacher's Desk is primarily for teachers who teach in high-poverty areas or schools with exceptional needs. Just check out some of these pictures they post to their Facebook page...

What a normal cart looks like at The Teacher's Desk

The staff at The Teacher's Desk is wonderful! They have volunteers who bag your products and more volunteers to bring your cart to your car and load it up. I had such a wonderful experience working with The Teacher's Desk and I know my students and I will greatly benefit from their hard work and generosity!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week and an even more fabulous weekend!!
