About

About me....  I've never been great at writing these "about me" sections and to be perfectly honest I'm never quite sure how much or how little to write.

I'm a mom of 3 that began her teaching career at the ripe old age of 7 when I taught my neighbor's brother addition when he was 4.  Ok...ok...  maybe that's an exaggeration (although true), but I was always the child who wanted to grow up to be a teacher, took every opportunity to teach someone that was willing to listen, and all around couldn't wait to grow up, go to college, get a classroom of my own and TEACH!

I also always wanted to be a mom...  the kind of mom that I had.  One that attended field trips, picked me up from school, volunteered in the classroom....you're seeing the conflict here, right?  Well, there you have it.  I had to "choose" in a way at least for a bit.  I was able to get my degree, get my classroom, and teach for awhile before my kiddos were born, but now I choose to stay with them and watch them learn and grow as tiny people before I reenter the schools.

Most of the content that I've blogged about began in my classroom days, but is also a compilation of other teachers that have so graciously agreed to help me fill this blog with meaningful content.

So there you have it!  ALL ABOUT ME ...I somehow feel like I should have drawn a self portrait out of crayon and listed my favorite foods, but I guess this will do for now.
