Have you ever just wanted to crawl away and hide? I used to love to make forts inside my closet as a kid. I’d close the door and use a flashlight to read a stack of books. My door had slats in it, so I could see out, but no one could tell that […]

This Guy…
This post was started on our 10th anniversary back in June…however I was busy embracing life with my adventurous family. And that is always more important than blogging. While I’ve had so many great posts working in the tablets in my head, I haven’t found the time nor energy to write them just yet. So […]
Guest Blog Post!
So this is my first Guest Blog POST! I am very excited to introduce to you a dear friend. When I first met, Jana, we were teachers across the hall from each other. We were both first years and openly now admit we knew nothing about teaching. Over the years, we have gotten to know […]

Getting lost in blog-land
Does this ever happen to you? Boy, it happens to me all the time. I am sure that my grandmother would think it silly. I should be outside or reading a book, she may say. But I guess times are changing. Reading a book is done on your iPad mini and sitting outside is done […]
Lost thoughts
There are days I have so many things I think about to tell you all. I grab my iPhone and jot it down. Fast forward 4 hours. Bed time has come and gone and I am sitting in my bed ready to write. But not ready. Instead I decide tomorrow I’ll write. That’s been the […]
Easter week, Day 2
Today, the girls went to visit their Nana. That being said, while I know they did Easter things there, I have yet to discover what they were. They get to have a sleep over. So I will let you know all about those exciting crafts and snacks tomorrow. But for today, I wanted to share […]
