SoCal Blog Hop!!

Hi, friends!!

I am SO excited to join lots of my other amazing southern California friends today for a SoCal blog hop!!


We have lots of fun freebies for you today, as well as a great giveaway for four $25 gift cards to TPT!! Make sure you enter at the bottom of this post!

The freebie I made for you is a poster that makes me think of summer and sunshine, and is a quote from an amazing author:


You can download the poster for free by clicking on the picture above!

I grew up in the midwest, but have lived in San Diego for the past 12 years, so it feels like home!

We only live about 20 minutes from the beach, which is wonderful!

We don't go nearly as often as we would like, but we have gone on some beautiful hikes overlooking the ocean.


We even make it down to the beach in the winter...


We also have lots of amazing beach towns nearby! We went to Laguna Beach last last winter, and it was beautiful!



I love that there are so many amazing teacher bloggers in Southern California! Some of us from San Diego and Orange County met up this week for dinner and had a blast! 


And now for the giveaway!


Next up is Jaime from Laugh Love Learn!



Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy our SoCal blog hop!

    I love how you go to the beach in the "winter!" I live in MN and my winter involves a few extra (hundred) layers!

    I absolutely LOVE your freebie. It will help bring a little sunshine to my Iowa classroom all school year long (hopefully especially during the dead of winter).

    Love San Diego. My parents are originally from Southern California, so we made many a summer vacation out that way. :)
