TPT Seller Challenge Week 2- Dare to Dream

We are now on the SECOND week of our #TPTSellerChallenge! This week our challenge is to blog about our dreams! What pushes you to basically work two jobs every day? Do you have any end goals for your TPT journey? 

So with that being said, to get down to it, my dreams and goals for my TPT business are freedom, flexibility and fun!

I think FREEDOM and FLEXIBILITY go together.  Teaching is fantastic, but after just having my second baby this May I am now taking some time off to be a stay at home mom.  Obviously, right now my TPT store doesn't bring in the same income that teaching did for me, but I love that it gives me the freedom to be able to stay home with my kiddos and still earn some income for my family.  One day, I would love to totally replace my teaching income with my work on TPT.  Talk about freedom and flexibility in life!  I've got a LONG way to go, but I do know that being your own boss is pretty awesome.  Also, I love teaching and I love that TPT lets me stay in loop of it all and stay in the education world even when I'm not in the classroom full time.

Next up, FUN!  Hello, of course I want to have fun!  I would love to save for an amazing family vacation in a few years when all the kiddos are old enough to enjoy a good time.  What's up on my agenda you might ask?  Well, I seriously want to go on a Disney Cruise!  Being from Florida my family loves Disney and I've heard some awesome things from EVERYONE that has been on a Disney cruise.  Also, further down the road- Hawaii!  My hubby and I got hitched in Honolulu and it was THE best decision ever to have a destination wedding.  We loved it there! I absolutely want to take my whole family back one day- maybe for our 15th or 20th anniversary if we are lucky.

TpT Seller Challenge- Week 1 Makeover Madness

 I am so excited to be taking part in the huge TpT Seller Challenge that's being hosted by some fantastic ladies from Third in Hollywood, Teach, Create, Motivate, Sparkling in Second, and Peppy Zesty Teacherista!

This week's challenge was Makeover Madness.  Basically I had to pick one product to "makeover".  I could makeover the whole product, the cover, whatever really!

I decided to makeover the cover of one of my biggest products- my Addition & Subtraction Math Story Problem Task Cards Bundle.  These task cards have you covered for the whole year, plus they are CCSS aligned and great for centers or a fun exit ticket in your classroom.  Although I love the covers of each set of task cards that are included in the bundle the cover as a whole really needed a makeover.  It was so boring!  Check out the before and after below.  You can check out the product here or just click on the picture.  It will be on sale- 20% OFF through Saturday!

So now it's YOUR turn to makeover one of your products if you are part of the challenge! You have the rest of this week to do it. Then, you can share it share it using your social media using the hashtag #tptsellerchallenge. Click on the image below to save it, and then get to work creating your own Makeover Madness!

 Good Luck!
