Have to thank the amazing teachers and administrators that I work with every day! I couldn’t do what I do if you didn’t let me come into your schools and classrooms and get you to do all kinds of crazy stuff! My face hurts from grinning! So thrilled! Thanks for making my job the best one in the world!

This Girl! http://mamaestes.com/blog2/whos-got-two-thumbs-and-went-to-google-this-girl/ http://mamaestes.com/blog2/whos-got-two-thumbs-and-went-to-google-this-girl/#respond Tue, 03 Feb 2015 02:06:12 +0000 http://mamaestes.com/blog2/?p=1429 TCEA week started out with a bang…or a goo…Google, that is. We were invited to an event at the Google headquarters in Austin. You may now die of nerd-envy. LOL!

It was really fun! Yes…they really do give their employees free food and drink – and they have awesome work spaces. And they have a killer atmosphere and vibe that just makes Google…well, Google. Needless to say this trip did nothing to curb my fervent desire to work for GoogleEDU…quite the opposite. I’d love to share more…but we signed an NDA. Just know it was cool! Sharing the photo love…
