What?? A blog?

Hi!  Thanks for visiting!
 As most mothers, sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all of the responsibilities of taking care of 3 young children, a husband, a dog, a house, as well as working outside the home! I have felt my mind flutter in so many different places that at times I have had difficulty keeping my thoughts straight.

As a teacher, I often get overwhelmed as well with the daily tasks of planning and assessing, aligning to standards, differentiating, etc.

I got the idea of starting a blog after running into a number of blogs while searching for teaching ideas on Pinterest.  It has been so refreshing to see teachers and parents having a place to journal about what they are doing and what is working.

This blog will be my outlet of reflecting on the positive outcomes of my interactions with the young children I am surrounded by everyday, both at home and in my classroom.

For my first post I will add some pictures of some stand out moments in the past month.  Moments where I did not have to think about anything else other than the three lights of my life, my children.  Moments where I did not have to think about cooking, or cleaning, or working, or being anywhere else other than present in the moment.
