Filled With Joy

10/25/2021

Does your pet ever make you feel guilty for living the human life??? 😂 This guy is adamantly opposed to the idea of me running errands today. 🙄😂 Been laying on my side of the bed and giving me ALLL the sad puppy eyes, which I find both pathetic and hilarious, but Mama’s gotta pick up a few things for my FIRST PARTY in over a year! 🙌🏼🎉🎃👻 Maybe I’ll swing by and pick up a treat to make up for “deserting” him. 😉🐶❤️

Tell me if this sounds familiar…
🤔
You really wanna be a Pinterest Mom - the one who sends cute, handmade appreciation gifts to well-deserving teachers. But if you’re really honest, you’re much more of an Amazon gal - ready to throw some money at it and call it a day. I get it! I’m a busy mom myself, and it’s next to impossible to remember to shop for a gift, much less make it look all Pinteresty!
🙋🏻‍♀️
That’s why I created the Teacher Box - a collection of adorable, creative teacher gifts to show your appreciation throughout the school year. In about 5 minutes, you can magically transform from Last Minute Mama to Mom of the Year without lifting a finger!
🙌🏼
I know school’s been in session for a while now, but I also know you would loovvve to have your teacher gifts covered for the whole year! So if you’re a busy gal and glue guns scare you, just tap the photo and knock out all of your teacher gift shopping NOW! I’ll have your goodies shipped, delivered or ready for pickup just in time for your precious li’l pumpkin to have a Halloween teacher gift in hand! 😘

Having trouble sleeping tonight so I’m doing what any other “normal” person would - scrolling IG! 😂 Found this beautiful post from one of my all-time favorite women of faith and felt led to share it with you. May we all (especially me) seek more random Tuesdays! ❤️

This is where the Teacher Box magic happens. For 15 months, it’s been bare with nary a ribbon or gift tag in sight. That all changes this weekend when the first round of gift sets will all come together! 🥳 Stay tuned to see the “ground zero” version of this same shot… 😂🙌🏼

Don’t have a clue what I’m talking about? Give this page a quick scrolly-scroll or visit filledwithjoy.net to learn more about the Teacher Box craze!

Hey there friends!!! Long time, no see right?!? 🙈🙋‍♀️ Sooo, after a way-too-long hiatus (thanks to C-vid + life in general) I'm dipping one TINY toe back in the water and wondering... 🤭 Who's ready for a Filled With Joy comeback??? If yes, what do you need?

🎁 Teacher gifts
💌 Printable invitations
🎉 Party packages
💻 Small business graphic design

I won't be doing ALL the things to start (remember - tiny toe dip), so I want to meet you where you need me most! Let me know what you're looking for, and I'll let you know when I'm up and running again (hopefully early September)!!!

Ten years. How does it pass so quickly? I’ve experienced so much since this day. Changed so much. Grown. So much. And even though she’s been gone for ten years, she still impacts my life in deep and meaningful ways...
💗
She makes me stronger
~ because she gave me power to stand up for myself and refuse shame and guilt.
💗
She makes me braver
~ because if I can survive losing her, I can survive anything.
💗
She inspires me
~ because her story compels me to comfort others who grieve and to do so unapologetically.
💗
She sparks gratitude
~ because without her departure there would have been no room for Joy.
💗
She makes me proud
~ because no matter how long I carried her, she will always be my daughter.
💗
A mother’s wild love can never be tamed. Oh how I love her so - my Kate, my baby girl - even these ten years later as fiercely and profoundly as I did the day I knew she existed.
💗
Sweet angel, my heart dreams of our reunion and proudly serves to honor your name and your time on this earth for as long as it takes to hold you in my arms.
💗
All my love,
Mommy

More teacher goodies!!!
🌴🤩💗
Mrs. Cortez asked me to design these last year so she could keep in touch with her kids over the summer. Didn’t they turn out so cute?!?
🥰
Brand new item available on the site. Just click the link in bio and be sure to check out the other awesome gifts while you’re there!

Teachers love engaging kids in fun and exciting learning experiences, but there's a lot of "adulting" that goes on, too.
🤦🏽‍♀️
Reward them for those not-so-fun accomplishments with this hilarious set of incentive stickers!
😂
Rainy Day Recess and lesson planning won't seem quite so miserable when they have a sassy badge of honor to show off for it!
🏅
Where are my teachers at?!? I’m dying to hear which one of these is your fave!
