About

Hello friends, so glad you dropped in! 

This is a place for teachers, parents, & life-long learners. 

This is for Those-In-The-Thick-Of-It. 

We are in the middle of busy jobs and demands, keeping our difficult balance. This is a go-to place for the stories that help us navigate—and give us a stopping place to do some thinking. Stay awhile. Read a little, think a little, share a little. 

A Little About Me:

I was almost an English major. In the middle of a Contemporary Literature course, reading lovely things, awful things, and taking a good look around, I realized that the class I REALLY wanted to be taking was Children's Literature. And that was for Elementary Education majors only. So that was that. It was a good decision because now I get a packet of these every year:
  

Yep. Third Grade rocks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should also know:

• I love teaching 3rd grade
• I love Downton Abbey
• I love yoga & I eat chocolate on the way to the gym
• I love wearing moccasins instead of real shoes
• I love antique doorknobs
• I love traveling

All credit for my love of learning goes to my parents, who spent their hours talking to me before I could speak, who sat down to read with me before I could walk, and surrounded me with books.
