My First Post

This is my very first post so I feel the need to start with an apology to anyone reading this now.  But I also feel that I am ready for new adventures and endeavors in my life.  This is going to be fun!

I have a wonderful family cheering for me.  A very funny husband, three amazing kids, a cat named Harley (because I'll never have one but I've always wanted to be in a biker gang) and a miniature (65 lb.) golden doodle. Oh and I can't forget, we have a guinea pig at home with us right now that is on summer vacation from my classroom.

I am a teacher of third graders.  This will be my twentieth year of teaching and I still love my job.  Not many people can say that about their profession especially those of us in public education.  My job has changed a lot over the past twenty years and I see lots of changes still ahead.  Every year is a new beginning- new kids, new families, new coworkers, new possibilities.  I have gathered many experiences and ideas that I can't wait to share.

My husband and I are vegetarians.  He seriously went from eating bacon and burgers to beans and veggies overnight!  I have many easy (did I mention I am a mom of three) vegetarian recipes to share that kids will love too!

I am a themed birthday party, on a budget, fanatic.  My daughter has requested a pink Paw Patrol birthday party for her 4th birthday in October.  You are not going to want to miss that one!

I am hoping I will be able to use this blog this year to share my thoughts, experiences and possibilities.  I hope to share ideas, recipes, tips and moments that will help others.  People have always told me that I should start my own business of helping others with birthday parties, recipes, crafts, teaching, etc.  I don't need another job, I already have one, I want this to be fun!

Enjoy!
