The last time I participated in Slice of Life was when I was a classroom teacher and had my students participate. If you want to know more about the Slice of Life Challenge please read <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">here</a>. The jist is to write a snippet of every day life experiences and keep it real. I personally wanted to join the challenge because I miss writing and want to incorporate it back into my every day life. <br /><br /><br />My hope is to wrap up this challenge with a “behind the scenes” post to capture my inspiration behind each post. I feel it is important to share inspirations that fuel your writing. I was personally inspired by Penny Kittle’s Padlet found <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">here</a> of various texts that shape her thinking. Writing, for me, fuels my soul, and I hope each of my posts from this challenge fuels you.<p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 21.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 21.05px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 21.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAM1xPZOUOGY8jM4Rqb2l9nxGmkEZ6nb-w7hgHqEO9Azm_1DhEVjJoWDU0uSV6jsap4WK1MuWS9m9tXu9P0_lp03bQ_D-53n1Z1hJVNPvxF7Fo-jMytw20uhvUTBhHRf1XwTP0q_L3Kedkt0XxFLPuKn0DSfSUyWmgWO4TWMQfgk8gxXKunOLhzDMr=s333" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="221" data-original-width="333" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAM1xPZOUOGY8jM4Rqb2l9nxGmkEZ6nb-w7hgHqEO9Azm_1DhEVjJoWDU0uSV6jsap4WK1MuWS9m9tXu9P0_lp03bQ_D-53n1Z1hJVNPvxF7Fo-jMytw20uhvUTBhHRf1XwTP0q_L3Kedkt0XxFLPuKn0DSfSUyWmgWO4TWMQfgk8gxXKunOLhzDMr=w200-h133" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 21.05px;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 21.1px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 27.2px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 21.05px;"></span><br /></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />imJadeStengerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02272859467732734192noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268412741552487147.post-89958558336466916002019-11-14T10:00:00.000-08:002019-11-14T10:00:09.155-08:0010 Days of Gift Giving: Educational Toys<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To gear up for Black Friday, I am sharing 10 days of gift guides. All gift guides will include gifts that I know the recipient would love and I either personally own or is on my personal list to give as a gift. I hope my picks will help you as you are searching for the perfect gifts this holiday season.<br />

I am not one to jump at the chance to buy toys for my son. I purchase items for him just like I purchase items for myself...what purpose will they serve? For Christmas, I always try to get educational toys that we can use to supplement homework. I do not own any of these items...yet. These are on our personal gift guide for our child. For example, my son's favorite book series is Dog Man. I can easily have him use the sentence blocks to write a sentence telling me his favorite part of the book and then he can use that as a visual to write his sentences for his reading homework. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Augmented Reality STEM Math Games</b>. At my son's school they are already using something similar to this device, so this could be another way to bring that learning here at home. This particular one does work through an app, but it also has a mat and manipulatives so your child can practice using the manipulatives with the app guiding them. The math problems does adapt to your child's age and is suitable for ages 5-10. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Osmo Genius Starter Kit</b>. I have been researching this for months. I love that there are various kits and they are compatible with either with an iPad or Kindle Fire. Children can use the Osmo for a hands on experience to practice reading and vocabulary, number sense and math, problem solving, and creativity and imagination. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>App Based Interactive Globe</b>. How fun would it be for your child to see where you are traveling and learn more about it? We are trying to take our son to all 50 states before he is 18 as well as at least one international trip. This could be a great start for him to learn about various areas so he can be part of developing the traveling plans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b>Spelling Game</b>. We love to buy games for our son because it is something we can do as a family as well. I like the idea of a spelling game because you can easily create cards using your child's sight words or spelling words into this game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Telescope</b>. This is inspired by a Science homework assignment my son had where he had to analyze the moon to prepare for a moon and sun unit he is going to be doing after Thanksgiving. This particular one is awesome because I can take pictures with it using my phone. This will help take Science homework to the next level so that we can do more hands on items with the telescope. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>Sentence Building Dominoes</b>. My son is struggling with forming a complete sentences. When I taught, I loved to teach with games and manipulatives. My son is a hands-on learner, so these sentence blocks will help him be able to manipulate the words to form the sentence before we start writing. </div>

Fall and Winter means it is boot season. I love a good boot, and these are my top six picks for the boots that need to be in your closet. I tried to find the best boot for multiple scenarios so that you had the perfect pick for the boot lover in your life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Sorel boots</b>. We ski every year now. Last year I invested in some snow boots and went with the Sorel brand. I see why many people that live in snow type temperatures own Sorel boots. They are comfortable. I went with my true size when I bought mine and they did fine even with thicker socks. If you are worried about them being too tight with thicker socks, then size up a half size. As soon as the person sees you bought them Sorel boots, I know that they will be be grateful because it is the perfect brand for snow boots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Marc Fisher OTK boot</b>. An OTK boot is an essential staple and one brand I trust for shoe purchases is Marc Fisher. I have two pairs of OTK boots by Marc Fisher and the thing I love about them is that they stay in place which is HUGE for an OTK boot. I have had some that do not actually stay up OTK. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>Combat Boot</b>. This style of boot is perfect when paired with a rocker graphic tee, moto jacket, or leggings. Or a sweater, jeans, beanie, and boot socks. It would also look great with flannel top as well. Let's just say this...there are a lot of possible pairings for a pair of combat boots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b>Marc Fisher Animal Print bootie</b>. An animal print bootie is another essential staple. Snake print is in trend and this pair by my favorite shoe brand company is a definite winner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Cole Haan Dress Boot</b>. A black dress bootie is perfect for pairing for workwear, date nights, or even taking a legging look to the next level. These have a slight wedge to them and Cole Haan shoes are great quality and comfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <b>Hunter Rain Boot</b>. As soon as the recipient sees that the gift is Hunter rain boots it will not matter what print, color, or style you choose. However, this print is a guaranteed winner. </div>

If you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, then you know that I am quite the beauty junkie. There are a ton of holy grail products I could share for a gift guide, but I wanted to be strategic in sharing gifts any makeup lover would love no matter the person's skin tone or complexion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette</b>. If the makeup lover in your life does not have this palette, then believe me you will make that person's year with this palette. Words cannot express my love for it. Let me just say this...I use this palette every. single. day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <b>Natasha Denona Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette</b>. I have not purchased a full Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette because of the price; however, I do own the mini palettes. The quality of the eyeshadows is out of this world. I picked this particular palette because is definitely bang for your buck if you choose to buy this palette as a gift. It works for everyone and the eyeshadows blend beautifully. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <b>Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner</b>. You must clean your makeup brushes. I repeat...you must clean your makeup brushes. As soon as you put your makeup brushes in this solution it instantly gets the guck off of the brush. In other words, it is the best makeup brush cleaner ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <b>Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray</b>. This is the holy grail of setting sprays, in my opinion. It does exactly what the name says...stays all night. Enough said. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>Beauty Blender</b>. Every makeup lover needs a beauty blender. It's the best in the biz. It helps with concealer, foundation, and setting powder application. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Huda Beauty Power Bullet Matte Lipstick. I have tried a lot of nude lipsticks, but I have not found one as good as this line. First, I love matte lipsticks and feel everyone should have at least one matte lipstick in their life. A makeup lover should also have a good nude lipstick. This is your winner, hands down. I personally have the shade in Board Room. Get this shade. Life changer. </div>

I absolutely love buying hair products. All of these products I own and do wonders for my hair. Are some on the pricier side? Yes. However, I believe in quality hair products and tools because you get the most bang for your buck.<br>
<br>
1. <b>T3 SinglePass Curl 1.25" Curling Iron</b>. Words cannot explain how much I love this curling iron. I have curls for days everytime I use it. In fact, my rotation with using this tool is I curl my hair on Sunday after washing my hair. I will not touch this curling iron again until Wednesday for a refresh. The rest of the week I will go to bed with my hair in a braid for a beachy wave look.<br>
<br>
2. <b>BaBylissPro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron</b>. I try to only flat iron my hair once per week when I wash. If I am using a flat iron it is because I was lazy with wrapping up my hair at night and need to go over a few pieces that got crushed while I slept. I can control the temperature, and I only have to use one pass when using this curling iron which are two big reasons why I love this flat iron.<br>
<br>
3 and 4. <b>Kevin Murphy Hair Products</b>. Two years ago I found out about Kevin Murphy products and the wonders it can do when wearing my natural hair in its curly state. My love affair with this product began with Killer Curls and Young Again oil and grew from there. When washing and conditioning my hair, I love the Repair Me line. I think it is a great line for all hair types and do not get me started on the Young Again oil. It is on the pricier side, BUT a little goes a long way and it truly does help your hair. All Kevin Murphy products have a scent. Some are more mild than others. Most complaints you will see in reviews are about the scents. I personally love them all. These three products have a mellow scent to them.<br>
<br>
5. <b>Satin Pillowcase</b>. This has been a game change for me. Every night I already used a satin head wrap to wrap my hair up at night. Wrapping my hair protects my edges and ensures when I wake up the next morning that my hair is still straight for the next day; otherwise, I will wake up and some of it will be curly or matted. Before investing in the Slip brand pillowcase I bought a satin pillowcase from Amazon. I love it, and I really do not know how much different it is from the Slip brand pillowcase. I now can just use a satin scarf to ensure my edges remained laid throughout the night, and I braid the rest of my hair and go to sleep.<br>
<br>
6. <b>Kristin Ess Texture Spray</b>. Another big reason why I have curls for days is because after my curls are cooled and set I spray with a texture spray. The first brand I used was Kristin Ess. I have tried others including the beloved Oribe, but NOTHING is in comparison to this one, AND it is the cheapest of the ones I have tried. It does have a slight scent, but nothing overbearing.<br>

Welcome to <strike>week four</strike> of my summer educator inspired series titled, Prepping for a New School Year: Leadership Tools, Tips + Tricks. This is the second post, but should have been the fourth post of the eleven week series. Life happened, y'all so I am behind. Eventually I will complete all of these posts for you. What I do share will be ideas that I have tested and tried out from the 2017-2018 school year. I have made a few tweaks, but I can ensure that everything I share in this series is on the job tested. I will also go back to each post in the series and provide the link to all the posts. If you are not already, make sure you <a href="http://www.imjadestenger.com/p/subscribe.html" target="_blank">subscribe</a> and you will get an email once I post. Also, make sure you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiDBe9J7t_ymxBAMq76L-Wg?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.<br />

One of my favorite items to create for a start of a new school year are birthday door signs. I believe that if you are blessed to see another birthday then that is something to celebrate. Prepping for staff birthdays is a fun and easy task to prep before the school year begins. That way it's done and you will not miss celebrating anyone's birthday. Here are the steps I take to pull it off:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Create a calendar reminder of everyone's birthday.</b> I am signing onto my computer anywhere between 6:15-6:30 am so I set the reminder at 6:30 am. That way I gather all my materials and head straight to that teacher's classroom so that I can post the sign and put their treat bag on their desk.</li>
<li><b>Write all your cards during the summer.</b> This will save you so much time. If you dedicate 5 cards in the morning and 5 in the afternoon you can quickly knock these out real quick. I bought <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0786G8J5T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">this set</a> of birthday cards from Amazon. </li>
<li><b>Put all the materials together in a drawer. </b>I put the completed card inside of a treat bag and the flyer underneath. I also put them in order. That way when I pull them out to use them all I have to do is add the candy. I typically try to get whatever their favorite treat is to put in the bag, but often times I will just put chocolate. I keep candy in jars in my office for this main reason--to fill my birthday treat bags. </li>
</ol>

<span style="text-align: center;">By using these three tips I was able to not miss anyone's birthday and have something to give to them to celebrate their birthday. I wanted to share the signs with you that I am using this school year. I did five different designs included one for staff birthdays that occur over holidays, weekends, or the summer. </span><br />

Summer means it is time for easy, breezy, beautiful jumpsuits and this one is a winner. Two things I love about jumpsuits: one, they are easy to throw on and two, they are easy to dress or down for any occasion. I call that a win-win situation, peeps. I love that the pants are so wide leg on this particular one that depending on how you stand it actually looks like a dress versus a jumpsuit. A double win-win for me. </div>

I paired this particular one with my $5 blue mirror sunglasses find from Amazon. I just love these because they can make any outfit pop. They are definitely coming with me to Florida in a few weeks. No worries, I will share a travel guide and recap on all my outfits with you. I can tell you that I challenged myself that all my outfits will come from Amazon. I found the most amazing clothing items and cannot wait to share. Make sure you are following me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to stay in the loop and get the deets first.<br />
<br />
This particular jumpsuit runs TTS. It is not see through, has pockets, and super comfortable. I am wearing a size medium for reference. It is so lightweight and perfect to battle the heat and would be perfect for a day at the beach.<br />

It's almost pay day so I wanted to walk you through how this shopaholic shops on a budget utilizing my three tips. If you are following fashionistas on social media it may seem like gosh, that person spends a ton on clothes. I always choose to speak for myself, and as far as for me I really don't. I stick with a pretty tight budget and make it work. The big reason why I make it work are the three tips I wanted to share with you. I promise you that you can look very fashionable on a budget. I am the prime example. This outfit I am wearing minus the <a href="http://www.payless.com/womens-pumps-heels-shoes/" target="_blank">shoes</a> is $40, but this $40 outfit goes a long way because I can wear these two pieces so many ways. The <a href="http://www.payless.com/womens-pumps-heels-shoes/" target="_blank">shoes</a> were $22 once I applied the coupon on top of the sale price. However, these shoes match every single outfit because they are nude which means that I don't have to budget for shoes. I like the whole one shoe fits all type of concept. </div>

Tip One: Set a budget based on your own personal finances</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Do not try and ball on a budget with a budget that does not match your finances. This can go really wrong real quick. I am in education so you know I do not make a ton of money and my budget on clothes has gone from $50/paycheck and up depending on what is going on that month. There have been times that I could not spend a dime on any clothing items. To set my budget I take all my expenses out first that I need to take care of: car payment, mortgage, child care expenses, utilities, etc. Once I have the necessities taken out I then get with my husband and talk about any fun items or anything we are saving for is taken out. Right now we are putting money aside for our Paris trip so that is the next thing that gets taken out. I always like to leave a set amount each paycheck for me to have but then challenge myself that I will still have most of that left because that means that is more money towards clothing. For example, I may set aside $500 but that is going to go towards groceries, eating out, anything fun I want to do, gas, etc. The goal is always to not spend all of it. I then set a clothing allowance for myself. Each paycheck may be different. It may be that my clothing expense is $100, and I make that work. </div>

<h3>
Tip Two: Know how to shop at the right retailers </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I don't buy anything that is not on sale. I much rather be able to buy five items versus only being able to buy one. Also, I am very particular about the items I buy. I want to buy items that can work in various settings and that I can transition to various seasons. If I buy the most trendiest outfit for that moment then I have completely wasted my money. I tend to buy items from the following retailers: Nordstrom Rack, Loft, Ann Taylor, and Target. I shop at these places because I love the quality of clothing from these retailers, they always have some sort of sale, and I always find the best transitional pieces from these retailers. Every time they have a sale I look to see if there are any pieces that fit in my budget. Another thing I do is pick out all the items I like and put them in my cart and I sit on them until I can get the best deal. Since I do not buy the trendiest items I still stay in trend no matter the season. Always go for buying 80% transitional type pieces and 20% trendy pieces. Always think, is this an item I can see myself wearing continuously or one that will be donated very soon? Believe me, it will change the way you look at pieces if you ask yourself this question. Anything you spend money on is an investment so invest wisely. </div>

<h3>
Tip Three: Know how to shop for your body type</h3>
I am a curvy girl so I know not all items are going to look good on me. I love a swing top, but if I do not add a belt to it to cinch it in I end up looking bigger than I am. So if I am not willing to invest in getting a belt I will not buy a swing top. When you know how to shop for the items for your body type then it helps you stay on budget even more because you start looking at items differently. You start asking yourself: How many other pieces do I have to buy with this so it looks good on my body? Will this accentuate my assets or the areas I want to keep covered? How many ways can I wear this? What undergarments do I need for this?<br />
<br />
Let's take this jumpsuit. I read reviews and looked up the brand. I needed to know if I needed Spanx with this bad boy because if I did then I was not going go buy it. It's super hot right now and the last thing I want on are Spanx. I needed to know if at the waist did it cinch because if it did not then that would affect my sizing. I also wanted to make sure I could adjust the tie because I don't have much girls so I needed to be able to make it fit to my needs. When you shop based on your body type you know how far your dollar will go for that particular item.<br />

<h3>
Bonus Tip: Set a budget for how much you will spend on each clothing type item</h3>
I can tell you now that I will not spend any more than $40 on a dress, $20-$25 on a top, $20 on accessories, $120 on shoes, and $50-$60 on bottoms. I put more money towards my bottoms because it is hard for me to find bottoms that work. I do well with bottoms from Ann Taylor so I stock on work pants from them every year and the quality is superb. Since I already know my top bottom limit I will spend on each clothing item type then this really helps me stay on budget. I can quickly look over items very quickly when they are not in the ranges I am willing to spend on them.<br />

Y'all should know by now that I love a dress with pockets, and when I find one that I can wear to work....honey, you just don't know how much of a smile that brings to my face. This dress is very breathable and super comfortable. It definitely is a dress I could wear every day because that is just how comfortable it is.<br />
<br />
At work, I have a walkie talkie, my cell phone, and keys on me at all times so having jewelry on is the last thing I am thinking about. If I wear any jewelry to work then it is this Kendra Scott necklace. It goes with everything and is easy to just throw on and make an outfit pop.<br />

What I love most about a dress with pockets is that it is extra storage...duh! I can easily hide my ID, a tube of lipstick, a snack for my son, or even my sunglasses. I am all about having items that have other options to them. One of my favorite places to shop for workwear is Nordstrom Rack. If you are a regular here then you know that a lot of my clothes comes from this retailer. I just love that I can get high quality items at an affordable price. I am on a strict clothing budget, so this retailer allows for my budget to get numerous items.<br />

My exact dress is the first linked below and is still available in black and burgundy. It is $32.97 and fits TTS. I am wearing a size medium for reference. It does come with a belt, but you can easily use your own belt for a little more flair. I believe in rocking it how you want it, so the sky is the limit.<br />

Each season I tend to pick one color I go with for my nails and my lips. During the summer months, I like hot coral soft pink. I think this is one color that looks good on all skin tones. This summer I found the perfect summer lip combo, and I achieve my summer lip look using three products that consists of a lip liner, matte lipstick, and lip gloss. These three items go with me everywhere, looks good with all my outfits, and can take me day to night. </div>

I start off by lining my lips with the Kat Von D lip liner in the shade Lolita. If you are a Kat Von D lipstick lover then you will know that the shade Lolita is an all around fave for everyone. I just follow my natural lip line to do this and then draw an X at the top of my lip and at the bottom of my lip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then apply the Maybelline Inti-Matte Nude lipstick in the shade Honey Pink to the bottom of my lips first and then blot my lips together. I then apply the lipstick to the top of my lip. Side note: if you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram</a> I did a try on with four shades from this line and this was the one shade that I honestly thought no way, Jose will I ever wear this because it is really pink by itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I found the secret weapon that tones down that pink a little to my comfort zone. So last, I apply the NYX butter lip gloss in the shade Tiramisu. Once I do that these three products together become magic. Super easy and it lasts a while.</div>

I know this post is all about the perfect summer lip, but I always have to stick in a little fashion in the mix. This dress would be perfect for a summer wedding, a daytime lunch, or even a brunch. Every time I look at this dress it just brings a smile to my face because it is just so dainty and pretty. </div>

If you have been following along with me you will know that I get most of my jewelry from two places: Target and Amazon. I don't care that I wear knock offs. I am a girl on a budget and I am not one to wear jewelry all the time so I do not want to invest a whole lot into something I will barely wear. The only way I will buy the original designer is if it is on sale for a great price. One retailer I find BaubleBar earrings at an incredible price is Nordstrom Rack. I found these earrings at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075P435D9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a> for $10. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As far as this dress, let me tell you. The Who What Wear collection at Target lately is just giving me all the heart eyes. I cannot stop buying items from this collection. I linked my dress below and <a href="https://www.target.com/p/women-s-floral-print-one-shoulder-ruffle-midi-dress-who-what-wear-153-blue/-/A-53519181?preselect=53500879#lnk=sametab" target="_blank">here</a> depending on your sizing.</div>

I don't know about you, but with all this heat it calls for a breathable maxi dress. I have been stocking up on these lately because here in the South the heat is unreal. One retailer that I have found the best maxi dresses from is Target. I know, I know, how can I not find the best items at Target? I do have to admit that for the longest I banned myself from Target. Every time I stop in this store I spend insane amounts of money. I am pretty sure we have all been here:<br />
<br />
You say you need to go to Target. You write out your list. You pray to the Target gods that you will only get what is on the list. You even go through another entry so you do not go past the Bullseye Playground. Then you see this item that catches your eye at a price you can't believe. A few to good to be true items later and yet nothing on your list in the basket, you push that cart to the register feeling so good of all the unbelievable deals you found. Then the cashier tells you your total price and you cannot believe what you are hearing. You think to yourself how did $2 and $14 here and there add up to that?<br />

If this story sounds familiar then let me share a tip with you that will help you stay on budget while shopping at Target. Lately, I have been utilizing the Target app and choosing the pick up in store or drive up options. I can still use coupons on my order, shop for items that are in my store, but it saves me from seeing all the pretty displays that draw me in. I have been able to enjoy all of the greatness from Target but most importantly I stick to my budget.<br />
<br />
The drive up option, by far, is my favorite. You will receive notification when your order is ready, then you go back to the Target app and there is a link you will click on to let them know when you are on the way and once you are parked. I get my order in less than a minute this way and the service is exceptional.<br />

So, go on ahead and feel free to shop from the comfort of your phone and get what you need and only what you need from Target. In this case, it is all about maxi dresses. The one I am wearing is $29.99, super comfortable, has pockets, and this beautiful button feature with a slit. It fits TTS so I am wearing a size medium. So what are you waiting for? Stay on budget while shopping at target by using the Target app and pick up in store and drive up options.<br />

I think dating your significant other especially once you are married is extremely important. That one-on-one time to reconnect keeps your relationship thriving. I have to admit that my husband and I have not done the best with keeping up with date night. I wanted to share some ideas for date night that does not always mean you have to go on a dinner date. This is something that is important to my husband. He sometimes hears date and automatically thinks that means you have to spend over a $100 to have a great time, but I am here to tell you that a date night does not always mean you have to spend insane amounts of money or even any money at all. Here are my top three affordable date ideas that we have done and had a blast doing.<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. Go window shopping for your home</h3>
At the beginning of the year my husband and I sit down together and make goals. One of the goals we set is for our home. We like to focus on one to two areas of our home and by the end of the year that goal needs to be complete. This year was about our son's room and his mancave. We will go to furniture stores and just window shop to decide on thing we like together. Sometimes we walk out of the store with something and sometimes we do not. My husband is the biggest deal finder I have ever met. He does not believe in paying sticker price for anything so if we walk out of the store with anything you better believe it is because it was a hell of a deal.<br />
<br />
<h3>
2. Cook dinner together</h3>
<div>
You can save a lot of money cooking meals yourself. When we are lazy we head to Costco and get one of their oven ready meals, pop open a bottle of wine, and dine in the comfort of our own home. Other times we make a cheese and meat plate together. This has become one of our favorite meals. He picks the cheeses since I am lactose intolerant and would not be the best at that and I pick the meats, fruits, and olives. I also make it all pretty on the board. </div>
<br />
<h3>
3. Play a game</h3>

My husband and I love to play games. I still think we were the first to discover 5 second rule years ago. Then two years later it became this huge hit. Can it be hard finding games suitable for two? Yes. But we are both extremely competitive and get the best laughs from a game night. Our favorites are Scrabble, TV Show King on Playstation 2, and 5 second rule. </div>

I got this lovely romper from H&M and it is definitely a number one stunna. I am wearing a size 8 for reference, but it was too big so I would recommend to size down. My normal size was too big at the top and was a loose fit. A size smaller would give me a more fitted look up top and not so loose in the bottom. It has a good stretch to it, so sizing down would not be a big deal. Plus, it has pockets! I love an outfit with pockets.<br />

Y'all I am no supermodel by any means and definitely not striving to be. Putting myself out there for all the world to see is scary at times. I am very particular about the pieces in which I choose to showcase. I normally do not buy two piece outfits because usually with my luck is the top fits correctly, but the bottom does not. This was not the case for this outfit. I was able to get my normal size which is a size medium, and it ended up fitting just the way it needed...both pieces, in fact.<br />
<br />
The top fits more fitted and it would be perfect paired with some white shorts especially these from <a href="http://www.imjadestenger.com/2018/06/summer-shorts-with-universal-thread.html" target="_blank">Target</a>. I love an outfit you can rock various ways and this one is perfect for that. Find this look linked here from <a href="https://us.shein.com/Button-Front-Shirred-Bandeau-Top-&-Skirt-Co-Ord-p-454856-cat-1780.html" target="_blank">SHEIN</a> for $19. Hey, that rhymes, and I crack myself up.<br />

I, of course, had to share other two piece outfits that I am totally digging this summer. If you want a complete bang for your buck then two pieces are the way to go. You can pair the two pieces together or wear them separately and create a whole new look.<br />

I am not afraid to admit that when a dress is a complete button down there can be room for error. Maybe one button just will not button right and moving up and down sizes can make the outfit go wrong. That will not be the case with this outfit. It has just the right amount of stretch and va va voom.<br />

My full time gig is an Assistant Principal at a High School. I like to be covered up at work so any piece I pick out for work needs to cover me up and be comfortable enough to face anything the day may bring. I love that this is a midi dress. It is the perfect length for me at work. I also like the placement of the slit keeps the dress tasteful and classy and again keeps me covered up. Buttons seem to be in right now and I think that this dress is perfect to stay in trend and still suitable for work. </div>

Usually it is all about the LBD being the staple in your closet, but for the summer you need a LWD or little white dress. Just like the LBD it needs to be able to take you from day to night an be able to rock any occasion. What I love about this dress is that I can easily wear this to a summer wedding, or throw on a belt to cinch in the waist a little more and rock it at work, pair it with heels and go on a date, or even throw over a summer sweater so that it looks like a top and skirt. The sky is the limit with this one. </div>

And sadly, it is sold out in most sizes, but if you are a small, XL, or XXL then pick this up at <a href="https://www.target.com/p/women-s-tank-midi-dress-with-side-snaps-mossimo-153-white/-/A-53239330?preselect=53220577#lnk=sametab" target="_blank">Target</a> and use the code JULY4 for an extra 20% off. If you size is not in stock I did find other options for you to have a LWD or little white dress in your closet this summer. </div>

Since Target is having a sale where you can get 20% off clothing, shoes, and swim using code JULY4 I wanted to also round up items I think you should pick up for the summer. I don't know if you noticed it but Target has been killing the fashion game this summer. Am I right?<br />

I don't know about you, but I am digging the palm print. If you have been following me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram </a>you will know how much the palm print has hit my closet. There is just something about this print that screams summer and beach. I am originally from Corpus Christi, Texas and nothing makes me happier than the smell of saltwater. It brings back such memories from my hometown. Now that I live in Houston, Texas it is not a quick drive to the beach like it was back home and during the summer is when I hate that. </div>

I think that H&M has really took the palm print and took it to the next level. It can be a hit or miss with such a bold print. I think the pieces they have with this print are ones that you will not feel like the print is so in your face. I am not one to wear a lot of prints because I need it to be toned down. I am a girl who likes to make a statement, but I definitely do not want the print to take over the look I am trying to achieve. </div>

I have rounded up the best of the best palm prints from H&M. The one you should start with is definitely this wrap skirt. I am wearing a size 8 for reference and it fits perfectly. I paired it with a black one shoulder top that was only $5.99. It comes in various colors and fits like a glove and can be paired with so many things.<br />
<br />
In total this outfit was under $32. Yep, you read that correctly. I am all about affordable fashion finds and these pieces definitely need to be in your closet.<br />

When I say that I stepped way outside my comfort zone for this look that would be an understatement. I never thought in a million years I would ever wear anything like this especially since it shows my stomach. Even if it is a little peek it does not matter. This is my I am turning 31 and why not outfit. And you know what, I feel so good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have never been this confident in my life. I am proud of my body. Every last dimple, stretch mark, and roll. My body is not model perfect, but I am not trying to be perfect. I just want to be me. As honest and forthcoming as I am. </div>

As women, we sometimes do not think that we can have it all. You know, the marriage, the family, the career, and your hobbies. Sometimes we feel this need to give up part of ourselves to fit in this box. I created this space because I want to empower you that you don't need to try to fit in the box. You can be free to be yourself, all of you, completely.<br />
<br />
I never thought in a million years that I would come to the realization that having all that I want in life was a possibility. It took a lot of prayer and faith in God's plan for me to actually believe it.<br />
<br />
So yes, here I am in this two piece showing my stomach and oh, so proud. I am married to be best man ever who loves every curve of my body. I have a wonderful son who can do no harm by me who has taught me so much about unconditional love and opened my heart in ways I never thought possible. I have a career that I am extremely passionate about. I go to work with a smile on my face because I absolutely love being an educator. Last, I love fashion and beauty and not ashamed of it. Yes, part of my paycheck goes to insane amounts of clothes and makeup, and I am proud of that. I find clothes that help me lift my head even higher than it already it is because I am proud of who I am. I love sharing beauty tips with others and as I age I need a little more help with helping me look my best self.<br />

This dress is perfect to fit any occasion whether you are going to work, a night out on the town, or even a summer outdoor wedding. I love a piece that takes you from day to night because then you really get your money's worth.<br />
<br />
As far as sizing I am wearing a size 6 for reference, but wish I would have sized up for more room in my hips. I've got hips for days and they need room to move. I styled this look for a casual night out and yes, I know it screams tickled pink.<br />

I do need your help. London is calling and we picked up the call. In a few months, my husband and I will be visiting London for one day. We originally were just going to go to Paris, but now we are adding in a stop in London so that we can watch an international soccer game. I am so excited! I love the energy of watching soccer and what better way to enjoy futbol then overseas. We will have time to check out London for about six hours before heading to the soccer game. I need any and all recommendations for places to go eat and visit in that short amount of time. So please send any and all recommendations my way.<br />
<br />
Right now I am working on the last touches to our travel itinerary and I cannot wait to share all about how we budgeted for our trip, what went into planning our itinerary, and then the recap of our trip. </div>

Let's talk about this dress. One, it is super comfortable. Two, the print screams it is summer, y'all. My recommendation is if you want a little extra room in the hips is to size up. I am wearing a size medium for reference. </div>

I paired this dress with a tie up pink wedge from <a href="http://www.payless.com/womens-brash-escape-espadrille-wedge-sandal-shoe/79555.html?dwvar_79555_color=mauve#start=106&cgid=women-viewall" target="_blank">Payless</a> along with some yellow raffa hoop earrings from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQGH7X5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. Speaking of <a href="http://www.payless.com/womens-brash-escape-espadrille-wedge-sandal-shoe/79555.html?dwvar_79555_color=mauve#start=106&cgid=women-viewall" target="_blank">Payless</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQGH7X5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, I just stocked up on a bunch of summer shoes from <a href="http://www.payless.com/womens-brash-escape-espadrille-wedge-sandal-shoe/79555.html?dwvar_79555_color=mauve#start=106&cgid=women-viewall" target="_blank">Payless</a>. I ended up getting four pairs for less than $75. If you have not been to their site to shop there lately, or ever, I would highly recommend. As far as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQGH7X5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, I get a lot of my jewelry from there. It is a great site to stock up on statement earrings for way less. Don't believe me just search statement earrings and you will find look a like to the pairs below. </div>

It's wear all the shorts season, y'all. This is the one thing I love about the summer because here in Houston it is extra hot. However, for me finding the right shorts is not always easy. I have curves and cellulite that does not need to be showcased so although wearing shorts in the summer it is my favorite it also means that some of my flaws are showcased for the world to see. Also, there are a lot of shorts that are exactly that...short. I like a little length to my short because my assets are only for my husband's eyes.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I have found the perfect shorts and they are from Target and under $20. They have the right amount of stretch and the stretch does not get so stretchy that the shorts are super loose. Instead they stay fitted so get your normal size. I am a size 8 for reference. Could I have gotten the size 6 and been perfectly fine? Yes. But I like the fit of the 8 because if my weight fluctuates, as it always does, I know that these will fit.<br />

I paired these white shorts from Target's Universal Thread line with this pink tiered top from Nordstrom Rack, silver wedge sandals from Payless, blue mirror sunglasses from Amazon, and my go to summer hat from H&M. The outfit to me screams summer and fun. By the way, my sunglasses are an awesome $5 find and they come in pink as well! </div>

Since my top is sold out at Nordstrom Rack I wanted to make sure to have plenty of other options I found that are all affordable finds that scream summer. Happy shopping!<br />

Summer to mean means give me all the rompers and jumpsuits. One, they are super comfortable. Two, you can dress them up and down. Want to look like you just might do something extra special? Throw on a romper. Need to throw on something while at the house, but then the doorbell rings and it's your crew. Girl, throw on a romper and some earrings and you are all set. I found this romper at Amazon for $12.99. Yep, I outdid myself with this one. I am wearing my normal size which is a medium and it fits perfectly. To say I felt like a rockstar in this would be an understatement. I linked my exact one if you click <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071F82M4V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

My momma would not approve this to be work appropriate, but my main reason for sharing is the point that it is a flounce skirt. Flounce skirts come in lengths longer than the one I have on. What I love about this particular flounce skirt is that it is a pull on. If you have been following along long enough you will know that I love for my clothes to allow for a little extra room. You know, for food? I like to eat, and I am not ashamed by that one bit. Plus as women our weight fluctuates and we get bloated at a moment's notice. Ladies, you know what I am talking about?<br />
<br />
I picked out some amazing flounce skirt options that are perfect for work in case this one shows a wee bit too much leg you don't want to show off for work. However, if you are totes feeling the one I have on I linked it below. Under $30 but with Loft's extra 40% off sale right now it is $15.24.<br />

Summer wedding season is upon us and if you are looking for a great option to wear that is super comfortable yet super stylish I have found the one. Rule of thumb is you never want to upstage the bride so the color is perfect for any summer wedding. However, I had a blogger fail and this particular dress sold out. But no worries because I got you covered. I found other options from the same retailer for all under $100.<br />

It's no secret that I love matte lipsticks when it comes to work. I love that a matte stays on, and I don't have to worry about constant reapplying because ain't nobody got time for that. I never know what a day will bring so the last thing I want to worry about is reapplying my lipstick. I decided to try a new line of matte shades and was intrigued by the Maybelline Color Sensational Inti-Matte Nude lipstick because one, it is a matte, duh and two, because they are nude shades. I love a good natural looking lipstick for work. I need a little pop but understated. If you agree then you will love these shades. </div>

If y'all aren't following me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Instagram</a> you really should. I tend to do an <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">InstaStory</a> on my initial reactions of beauty products I get before they hit the blog. Don't worry I have already added my initial reactions to my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/imjadestenger" target="_blank">Makeup Highlights</a>. It ended up being opposite day when it came to these lipsticks. What I thought I was going to love from just looking at it straight out of the tube I ended up hating. </div>

For a matte, they ended up being really moisturizing. The only one that did not feel moisturizing was the shade, Honey Pink which is also a shade that I did not really like. We shall see if it grows on me. All in all, if you are in my skin tone range I think these are nudes that you will love. My favorite shades are Raw Chocolate and Toasted Truffle. I felt Almond Rose was the perfect pink for my skin tone and the Honey Pink not so much. I don't know if it is the formula or what. I think once I pair it with something all black or all white I may feel differently, but for now that is definitely a shade you can skip. </div>

<a name='more'></a>This time last year I was getting ready to go on my first ever Assistant Principal interview. To say that I was nervous would be an understatement. I was honored first of all for getting an interview in the first place. Hundreds, if not thousands of applicants apply for Assistant Principal positions at a school so being one of the lucky few to even be in the running to me is a big deal. If you get a phone call please know that you are and have been doing something right that made you stand out as a valuable candidate.<span style="background-color: white;"> I wanted to take some time to share some of my tips I learned from going on various rounds of Assistant Principal interviews. Yes, I said rounds meaning plural. So yes, I did hear some No's, but I also ended where I believe I was supposed to be and my tips are why.</span><br />

<h3>
1. It must be a right fit for you and the school</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First, when you apply to a school you need to apply somewhere that is going to be a best fit for you. How do you do that? You become a stalker of their website, ask around in the community, use social media to connect more, and look at their school report card. If you are in Texas you can find that on the TEA website <a href="https://tea.texas.gov/perfreport/src/index.html" target="_blank">here</a> and you can find a school's Texas Academic Performance Report by clicking <a href="https://tea.texas.gov/perfreport/tapr/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. For other states, please go to where that information may be posted. Most of the time the district will post it on their website. <span style="background-color: white;">It is important to do your research because you don't want to accept a job somewhere that you cannot use your talents in the way that compromises your dignity. </span>I am a big believer in your name should stand by your morals and values. Nothing would be more heartbreaking to accept a job somewhere you are completely miserable and have to compromise your dignity every day. I am here to tell you that in this role you will not make it if you decide to go that route. The route of accepting a job just to accept a job. So do your research. But also please note that the school you are applying to is also figuring out if you are the right fit for them. Do not take it personally if for them it's a no. You both have to be the right fit for each other. It does not mean that you are not a great candidate because you get a no from a school. Take it as a blessing because the right fit for both parties could be in the near future. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h3>
2. Know What You Can Offer, Know Your Why, Know Your Values</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At your interview you will be asked scenario type questions such as <i>a new initiative is presented by the building principal and the department head is not in agreement and is very upset. What actions would you take to reconcile the situation?</i> Scenario type questions get to the heart of your decision making and more importantly how that decision making is tied to your values. Think about it, if you were to answer that question that <i>you would let the department head know that this is what the principal wants so we need to stand by it </i>then that says something about you. To me, that immediately just told me that whatever anyone says you will march to that beat. Your values are more on the lines of compliance. Yes, this could be a good thing. Definitely not saying that this is a wrong answer. This might be what that school wants in a leader. However, if you answered that <i>you would meet with the department head to hear their concerns and then meet with the principal that your department is having some concerns that I feel we need to address in order to best carry out that initiative as a team where we are all in this together</i> then that says something about you as well and your values. It tells me that your leadership style is more collaborative. It also tells me that you value hearing others and you are open to hearing concerns and doing something about it. So know what you can offer, know your why, and know your values. It speaks highly in how you answer your interview questions. It also helps you and that school determine if you are the right fit.<br />
<br />
Now should you look up interview questions and practice? Heck yes; go for it! However, do not memorize your answers so that when a question is asked it is no longer a conversation. Remember, they are trying to get to know you, your values, and how you utilize your strengths and what growth opportunities you have as a leader through the questions. When you have memorized answers it is hard to get to know someone through that. You can find some great interview questions <a href="https://aaspa.org/principalassistant-principal-interview-questions/" target="_blank">here</a> and here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h3>
3. Extend your Professional Learning Network</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Part of being in an administrative role is about networking with others. Like I said, there are hundreds, if not thousands applying for the few positions that open each school year. By extending your professional learning network it also opens up more opportunities for you. This time last school year I stumbled across the Facebook group, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/principalprinciplesleadership/?hc_ref=ARRQ_7FcPq9liORL0tdZxDL_DlIYj_fQ4WCkrM8TefUObvjpdZ-nC2haVE4yxmk4F-k" target="_blank">Principal Principles Leadership & Learning Community</a> led by Dallas elementary principal, <a href="http://www.principalprinciples.net/" target="_blank">Stephanie McConnell</a>. This Facebook group became a lifesaver because I was able to connect with various leaders from all over the world and ask them interview tips. I felt more prepared because I understood what an interview committee was looking for. You can't be shy in this type of role so get on that page, ask questions, and start connecting with others. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h3>
4. Yes, ASK QUESTIONS</h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How do you determine if that school is the right fit if you do not take the time to ask questions? Not only that, how does that interview committee really know if you have done your research and truly interested in their campus if you do not ask questions. Again, both you and that campus is trying to determine the right fit. You got the interview so your resume already spoke to them that you have the training and skills. Now it is about the fit. Just like they are interviewing you, you are also interviewing them. Ask questions that are going to help you determine that you are the right fit. There is no magic wand in someone being able to tell you what questions to ask. Each interview I went on last year I did not ask the same questions every time. The questions were tied to that campus and more information I needed to know about who they were, what they stood for, and if that matched up to what I could offer and would be able to offer to a campus.<br />
<br />
Think I am wrong about this part? Just check out Principal Kafele's <i>Thoughts to Consider for the Assistant Principal Job Interview</i> <a href="https://youtu.be/_L_fGwapxpw" target="_blank">Part One</a> and <a href="https://youtu.be/-leVCbiDABA" target="_blank">Part Two</a>. Since you are on his YouTube channel you might as well listen to his entire <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L_fGwapxpw&list=PLvY1YZAd-fDNNJ4FARHf9sww04pd_6ixv" target="_blank">playlist </a>on getting a job as an Assistant Principal. I used his tips and I got hired. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h3>
5. Stand Out as a Candidate Using an Entry Plan or Digital Portfolio </h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I created a digital portfolio along with an <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_FQcTnGr1hI_FsUp-BXQ4iqS_SC0fA_f?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Assistant Principal Entry Plan</a> that I shared with the interview committee at the end of my interview. I would not recommend that everyone do this. I feel if you are going to leave something with an interview committee then there is a reasoning behind it and it does not come off anything less than authentic. I decided to share this because the schools in which I applied to were ones I was really interested in. I wanted that committee to know my plan for their school and after all the interviews that committee might have had that day they would remember me at the end of the day. This plan was one that I found on <a href="http://www.principalprinciples.net/" target="_blank">Stephanie McConnell's website</a> and then tweaked it. The digital resume was because my Masters degree is in Educational Technology Leadership. It showed my skills and knowledge base as far as being knowledgable of instructional technology as a leader. Like I said these are items I used to help me stand out as a candidate. Plus, I am a believer in that part of your role as an Assistant Principal or a Building Principal is that the community, staff, students, district board members and district administration is entrusting you that you will do right by all stakeholders. My digital portfolio was another way for me to connect with that campus because a resume is just words on a page, some are just good at interviews, but me showing off my skill set based upon the items I chose to highlight in my resume and interview helps that committee get to know me on a different level. I am all about actions speak louder than words, and I wanted them to see evidence of my actions.<br />
