TEACHER TOTE BACKPACK | review

Rebecca Lovato 2020-02-17 | Teachers = Bag Ladies. It’s a fact. But with The Teacher Tote, it doesn’t have to be.

The Teacher Tote is the bag made FOR teachers BY teachers, and they’ve just released their newest addition to the TT family: the BACKPACK! It has the same fun features as the tote (FIVE pen spots, laptop and paper pockets, and the cooler for your lunch), but in a smaller, backpack form. It’s perfect for people who are teachers, students, moms, prefer backpacks, need to keep snacks or medication cooler, or just love cool backpacks.

The Teacher Tote:
theteachertote.com
Instagram: instagram.com/theteachertote/?hl=en (check here for sales!)
Facebook: facebook.com/theteachertote

*Disclaimer: I did request to receive this bag in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

NOT A LOT HAPPENED, AND THATS OKAY | weekly vlog 017

Rebecca Lovato 2019-01-16 | Kind of a weird week, to be honest. Maternity Leave Life is never-ending baby snuggles, feedings, and pumping, and not a lot actually “gets” done. So this week, my last full week of Leave, I do some Yoga, update you on my pumping dilemma, film my husband’s band, and have a chill week.

I BUILT A TENT AND TOOK DOWN THE TREE | weekly vlog 015

Rebecca Lovato 2019-01-02 | It’s Christmas! …Except I didn’t film any of the actual holiday, just the aftermath. This week I’ve got a Target Haul, took down the Christmas tree, did baby laundry, put up (and took down) a tent, played Pokemon Let’s Go, and started running again. Also, lots of cat appearances this week.

HANGING OUT WITH PENNY AND CHATS ON THE COUCH | weekly vlog 013

Rebecca Lovato 2018-12-19 | This is the week of the couch chats - my favorite place to hang out on maternity leave, as it’s also my pumping station and right next to where Penny usually hangs out during the day. I also took Penny out into the snow and hung out with her on her play mat. Not an exciting week, but a good one.

DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS AND PENNYS FIRST VLOG | weekly vlog 012

Rebecca Lovato 2018-12-13 | Welcome back to the Weekly Vlogs! Things got a little busy around our house towards the end of October (continuing into November) with the welcome addition of little Penny, but I’m back! This week I decorated the tree, waited around for a package, took on single parenthood while James went out of town, and got snowed in… all with a 5 week old!

Rebecca Lovato 2018-10-18 | This week I made pumpkin bread, hung the art in the nursery, and then forgot to vlog for two weeks. Oops. To be fair, not much is happening over here right now… just waiting on baby.

CLASSROOM TOUR | high school english

Rebecca Lovato 2018-09-24 | Take a tour of my classroom before the kids come in! And sorry about the sniffles!

I teach high school English in Virginia, and I filmed this the last day of teacher work week before students came back to school the following Tuesday.

PREPPING FOR BACK TO SCHOOL | weekly vlog 006

BACK TO SCHOOL BOOK HAUL

Rebecca Lovato 2018-08-23 | It’s Back to School, which means it’s time to restock my classroom library!

(Featuring a special appearance from my cat Sora!)

Please consider donating books to your local high schools/teacher friends to help them build classroom libraries. One of the biggest struggles I see and deal with as a high school English teacher is the lack of reading among students, and so my goal is to help them fall in love with reading (or at least a single book). Classroom libraries allow for this.

If you’d like to donate to my classroom library, please see my amazon wishlist here: http://a.co/eczZcmG
Or contact me directly for a shipping address.

Thanks for your support!

HAMILTON IN DC | weekly vlog 005

Rebecca Lovato 2018-08-20 | This week James and I went to DC to see HAMILTON with some of my teacher friends and it was amazing! I also vlogged a lot in my car, had some appointments, hung out at the Washington Mall, and did some work at home. Hamilton was by far the highlight, but not a bad week! PLUS, a BOOK HAUL!

August 12-18, 2018

Next week is back to school!

Here’s the link to the full guitar cover/tabs video I made for my husband: youtube.com/watch?v=xQu2jCs0OpQ

A WEEK AT THE BEACH | weekly vlog 004

Rebecca Lovato 2018-08-13 | For the last vacation of the summer (and the last one pre-baby), James and I went to Duck, North Carolina with my mom, my sister, and her dog, Paris. My extended family on my Mom’s side was also there, so it was a family affair, and a lot of fun! James and I also traveled to Boone, NC for a funeral mid-week.

August 6-11, 2018

Next week is HAMILTON!

SHOPPING FOR SOME BASICS | weekly vlog 003

Rebecca Lovato 2018-08-06 | This week was a pretty lazy week as far as vlogging and doing fun, exciting things. I spent most of the week being productive with writing, editing, and reading, and didn’t film most of that. I DID film my various appointments, a few shopping trips and hauls, and filming my husband’s band video.

July 28 - August 3, 2018

Next week I’m at the beach!

HAWAIIAN BABYMOON | weekly vlog 001.5

Rebecca Lovato 2018-07-26 | In the middle of getting reading for our little one in October, we took a break and went to the Big Island of Hawaii for our vacation/babymoon, and searched for the perfect week of relaxation.

July 13-19

We stayed at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Kohala Coast, just north of Kona, and spent most of the week on the hotel grounds, exploring, relaxing on the beach, watching manta ray feedings, and attending the luau. It was perfect and blissful and exactly what we wanted out of our vacation.

Rebecca Lovato 2018-06-30 | NOTE: I TOTALLY skipped Astronomy! Yikes! My pick for that category is Blackout by Connie Willis!

In my Booktube absence, I totally missed the Magical Readathon back in April (I didn’t even know about it), but thanks to twitter, the upcoming Part 2 caught my attention! In order to participate in the NEWTs in August, I’ve decided to dedicate July to my OWLs. Here’s my TBR!

The OWL challenges are as follows:

DISNEYWORLD BY MYSELF | magic kingdom and animal kingdom

Rebecca Lovato 2018-06-28 | So this is SUPER late in coming, but in April I went to Orlando with my husband, who was there on a work trip. Not wanting to waste the opportunity, I decided to go to DisneyWorld for two days - Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. I hadn’t been to WDW since high school, and I’d NEVER been alone, and I found myself enjoying it immensely. I did what I wanted, when I wanted, and got to try things I’d never done before (also, I was 11 weeks pregnant at the time, so I had to avoid most of the super intense rides - in case you’re wondering why I didn’t ride any of the coasters).

BEST PICTURE TAG | 2018 | original

Rebecca Lovato 2018-03-04 | Every year, Caitlin and I create the BEST PICTURE TAG by watching as many of the nominees as we can, then creating questions based on the films. It’s my favorite video of the year and I love combining my love of film and books as well as working and chatting with Caitlin.

WE TAG EVERYONE! (Be sure to link your video in the comments!)

Caitlin (BookChats): youtube.com/channel/UC9AS8AF4c1cQAOfGWIFHSWQ

Caitlin’s video:

Questions:
1. Call Me By Your Name: An LGBTQ love story
2. Darkest Hour: Your least favorite book by a beloved author/your favorite author’s weakest book
3. Dunkirk: A story told through multiple perspectives/across different timelines
4. Get Out: A story where the side characters/friend outshines the main character
5. Lady Bird: A book with a complex mother/daughter relationship
6. Phantom Thread: People keep calling this book/pairing/series a romance, but I don’t think they know what a romance is (A book that is not actually a romance, despite people calling it one)
7. The Post: A book that challenges prevailing power structures.
8. The Shape of Water: A book with a key character who is non-human, OR a book with disabled representation
9. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: An unlikeable character you can’t help but root for/sympathize with.

RUN EVERY DAY IN JANUARY

Rebecca Lovato 2018-02-03 | On December 29, I decided one of my goals for January would be to run every single day for the entire month (and perhaps longer). I’d been running 3x a week for over a year (2? 3?) but wasn’t seeing much improvement, so when I saw the Running Streak Challenge, I decided to give it a try.

*Disclaimer: before starting any fitness plans, please consult with a medical professional.

WORST BOOKS OF 2017

Rebecca Lovato 2018-01-11 | In order to make this list, a book’s ranking needed to be less than a 3; fortunately, only THREE books made the list this year!

Remember, we’re all entitled to our own opinions, and a difference of opinion is not a reason for hate :)

Books Mentioned:
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich
Second Star by Alyssa B Sheinmel
