Five for Friday

This week has been a bit of a blur. I am not quite sure where it went. The weekend was so busy with Easter festivities that I feel like this week has been all catch up. The good news, however, is that today is Friday and we are headed for a little family getaway tomorrow morning! 

 The 7th Inning Stretch Giveaway on Instagram has officially begun! There are TWO Target gift cards valued at $150 if you complete both loops participating. You can go to my Instagram @adabofgluewilldo for more information on how YOU can be one of the lucky winners. The giveaway will run until 9:00 PM this Sunday, April 12, 2015.
 

 So I am trying something new on Facebook for the month of April to try and bring in more traffic to my page. I am scheduling several posts throughout the day on all different kinds of topics. Each day I will post a cool FREEBIE from a Teachers Pay Teachers store (or similar site) at 4:00 PM.  If you would like me to use one of your FREEBIES from your store please send me a message on Facebook (OR email me) the link to the product you would like me to post on my FREEBIE posts. What are some things that you have done to increase traffic to your Facebook page?
Mother’s Day is right around the corner so I really wanted to get a craftivity uploaded stat so teachers can have something under their sleeve for the big day. I love this craft because it allows students to personalize everything for their very own mother. You can purchase this at my TpT store
We had such a good Easter weekend. We spent Saturday at an Easter celebration bash with friends out on the lake. They had an Easter egg hunt, pony rides, a petting zoo, a sand box, music, and food trucks. It was a gorgeous day and Molly had a blast. Her favorite part was the sand box. She is still talking about it almost a week later. Sunday we went to church and had family festivities all afternoon. 


 I got my first manicure since having Charlotte (four months ago – so overdue) and started reading Girl Talk by Jen Hatmaker for a book study that I am participating in with several other teachers/bloggers. The manicure was amazing, but having some time to turn my brain off and relax was even more amazing. I must definitely try and fit that into my schedule regularly. I am really excited about this book study that Kreative in Kinder and Fourth Grade Frolics are hosting. We just started on Thursday so if you are interested in joining, you should order the book and send one of them a Facebook message so you can be added to their Facebook page.

I hope that everyone has such a great weekend and week ahead and see you again next Friday!

  1. Hi Jen,
    Thanks for all your hard work for our instagram giveaway! I'll definitely email you a freebie to feature on your facebook page. I need to do something too with my facebook page. You've inspired me to get on that. I'll have to check out the Girl Talk book. My sisters and I are going to start a Bible Study and were looking at one of her books. Now they'll be so excited that I'm throwing another book into the mix. :)
    Happy Friday!
    Joya :)

    1. Thank you so much! It has been so much working with all of you ladies. Please do send me a freebie. I will let you know if it brings anymore traffic to my page. It is so easy and natural to bring traffic to Instagram. I am finding it not so easy with Facebook. I have only just started Girl Talk, but I like what I have read so far!

    1. Thanks sweet lady! It has been great working with you over the past few weeks. I love how we now have a little community of TpT'ers and teachers for support. I will let you know if the scheduling of posts does me any good or not after the month is up. Have a great weekend. :)

  5. Hi Jennifer, I'm glad you had some time to relax, you definitely deserve it! I like the idea of your Facebook freebie. I'll email you one of my Freebies this weekend. I really need to look into doing a Facebook page, but at the moment I am feeling overwhelmed. Maybe I will try to tackle that during summer. I hope you have a great weekend! :)
