Alex + Ani: More than just cute bracelets


It's always easy for me to review a product from a company, but rarely do I ever just talk about how amazing a company is.

About a month ago, I was grading papers and when I looked down, my Alex + Ani apple charm bangle had snapped off.  Like the apple disconnected from the stem snapped off. 


I only got it in September.
It was a "Happy First Day of Teaching" gift.
I take it off before every shower and every bed time.
So for it to break after only 8 months... cmon.

I tweeted about being upset over it and got a tweet back from Alex + Ani with their repair and return policy.  
I was outside the time frames, it no longer had a tag on it, etc so it seemed like a lost cause.

Then I get a text from Alex + Ani asking me to call. So I do.
They tell me to bring it to the Paper Store, which is where I bought it.

No tags, no box, no sticker, no receipt.
They took my old bracelet and handed me a brand new one.
Done.

I loved Alex + Ani before but after getting that type of customer service, after seeing how much pride they have in their product, I will be buying these bracelets for everyone!
What a wonderful company!

Celebrations


In September, I was hired as a paraprofessional.
Technically a part time teacher, working full time hours, getting paid a part-time salary.

I've done it for a year, loved it but literally can not afford to do it any longer.
So I was extremely excited when my school posted for a Special Education job and an English job.
However, being the lowest on he totem pole at school, I was hopeful but not naive.

I interviewed last week and was called into the front office on Wednesday morning.

You are reading the writings of the newest official English teacher at my school!!
I am so so excited!!

Top that off with a 4.0 this semester and I'm feeling pretty freakin' awesome!!

Buttonwood Park Zoo


One of my favorite local places to go with Emmalee is the Buttonwood Park Zoo!

It's only about 10 minutes from our house and is just big enough for her, without it being too overwhelming.
We usually spend about 2 hours and then another hour next door at the playground, having a picnic.






I love spending my day with her!
