Thursday Favorite Things, Valentine's Day

Happy Hearts and Homes at Thursday Favorite Things

Happy February, and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my fourth year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!

 

 

 

If you would like to make some new friends,  grow your blog audience, or just find some weekly inspiration, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: Please leave a comment with the number of your link up for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. The hosts are all looking forward to what you’ll share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AWESOME features, you’ll find it here.)  To get the party started, here’s what I have been up to:

 

 

WINTER STORM in Louisville, KY Feb. 3-4, 2022

I spent Wednesday through Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky for all-state choir and the Kentucky Music Educator’s convention. We had an (ICY) blast at the event despite the horrible snow and ice storm.

I am so proud of my three high school boys who made the high school choir and my two middle school girls who made the Junior High chorus. I also gained some new ideas and insights to bring back to my classroom!

 

BIG NEWS!!!! Literally!

CBS evening news showed up in Louisville to do a story on the long-standing tradition of all of the choir members singing the National Anthem every year at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It is an absolutely amazing tradition! My senior student was interviewed and may be featured on national news! The story is supposed to air this coming Thursday, 2/10, so I hope you’ll be watching!

 

Throwback Thursday

As a result of my busy week last week and resting up over the weekend and this week, I didn’t share any new posts with the exception of All About Home on Monday. Here’s a throwback to one of my most creative and fun Valentine’s Day posts. If you love a good “love story” I think you’ll enjoy it!

    Hi Amber! Thanks so much for featuring my Valentines table, and CONGRATS on your kids’ success at All-State! That was the most rewarding part of teaching for me. What a wonderful – if freezing – time it must have been for you all! Plus I love seeing you in your natural habitat! 🙂

    Thanks so much for sharing & hosting, and Happy Valentines Day!

      Hi Amber. I love Louisville – it’s where my dad went to college, and I just love that part of the country. Sharing at #109 today with slow living reflections. Hoping the pace slows very soon indeed with this move and new renovation! So much new in 2022. Thanks for hosting, friend.

    Congrats friend on your great showing at the competition! So sorry you had such an icy time and delay getting home. Being outside in all that snow and ice is scary. I love snow but definitely want to be safe at home. And thanks so much for sharing my easy ivy Valentine topiary!
