Winter in So Cal Blog Hop and January Pamphlet Freebie



Every January, my So Cal friends and I come together to bring you a little bit about So Cal life, share a winter freebie, and plan a little giveaway for you.  If you follow me on Instagram, you know how much I love where I live.  Growing up in Southern California is absolutely the best because you're close to the beach and not too far from the mountains for some fun.  I grew up in a cute little beach town in Orange County.  Last winter, we moved a few beach towns south to San Diego.


We took a bike ride around Coronado Island, in San Diego.


This is my favorite spot along my beach runs.   I grew up spending long summer days here with friends.


Laguna Beach is about 20 minutes from my hometown and has the most gorgeous views and clear water.  In the summer, we love snorkeling, jumping off cliffs, and relaxing at the beach.  


Just last weekend, we headed on a 2 1/2 hour road trip up to play in the mountains.  We've had a horrible drought in California and haven't had rain in ages.  We finally got a huge storm and I think everyone else in So Cal headed up to the mountains too, it was packed.  I was a chicken so we went sledding/tubing instead of snowboarding.  I was good with that!


One thing I love about this So Cal group are the great meet ups we have.  I know it's cliche, but I've made so many connections with these women.  We can vent to one another, share advice, and inspire each other in the classroom and with TpT.


I want to share with you something that I think will be so useful in your class.  Have you been looking for a way for your students to reflect on their learning every month.  These monthly reflection pamphlets are perfect {They're a supplement to my editable Back to School ones}.  Just copy back-to-back and you're set!  You can even choose from 3-4 different cover options each month and can even print in color or black and white.

  3. I love these types of hops & getting to know a little more about bloggers I follow. :) I'm in Long Beach and we're loving the snow on the mountains so we can go skiing (I'm afraid of snowboarding, too, lol).

    1. Ha ha! The last time I went snowboarding was about 15 years ago and I was THAT person who just couldn't get off the darn ski lift! I would always fall and hold up the line!
