Are you following Kinder-Craze yet?  If not, you NEED to.  Seriously.  This is one of my all-time favorite FAVORITE blogs!

Maria Manore is the fabulous teacher behind this website.

HOW I MET MARIA…

Maria started following me last year and I remember her commenting on my blog from time to time.  When I announced that I was resigning from my teaching position and having a huge garage sale to sell everything from my classroom, Maria emailed me and said she was planning to come.  I found out that we only lived about an hour away from each other.

Maria and her friend made the drive to my house and we finally met face to face!  She is such a sweet girl and I loved getting to know her!

Weeks after that, I drove to a Michaels store an hour away from me and as I was standing there, never guess who I ran into?  MARIA!!!  I was shopping for an upcoming photo shoot and she was shopping for her classroom!  It was so great to get to see her again!

THE KINDER-CRAZE BLOG…

So many of you know that I had the busiest summer of my life and I really got behind on my blog stalking.  After things had settled down a bit, I stopped by Maria’s blog to see what I had missed…and boy, did I miss a TON!  Maria had so many awesome posts and some legendary DIY projects. 

Remember this?

and this…

AND she even dotted her own borders!  EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.

Who does THAT???

That is reason enough to love her!

To top it all off, Maria was featured on Pinterest recently!

I told you she was good!!!

Not only do I love her blog, but I adore Maria as well.  She has a heart of gold and she’s an all-around super person.

I like it when good things happen to good people, so I would be ecstatic if you would stop by her blog and Facebook page to show this girl some LOVE!
