Warm Wishes

Isn’t this little fellow just the cutest guy ever? I just adore his over-sized, fuzzy coat!

No snow here yet in Maryland, but the weather has finally started turning chilly. We are wrapping up the final days of school before the holiday break. All my little friends (and some big ones!) have been [...]

Great Books to Encourage Art (and Writing)!

The List

Summer has arrived. I’m done with teaching until fall, and the weeks are spread before me like an enticing banquet. What to do with all this free time? I have decided to tackle “The List”. You know – the List, that one you hold in the back of your mind, storing all those tasks and [...]

Regrouping, Rethinking and Reinvigorating

After my amazing trip to CA in August I jumped in feet first to teaching a new program at work with some pretty amazing kids. I had worked out the most of the logistics during the summer, and was really excited to get this program off the ground. Happy to say that it [...]

Strolling Down Memory Lane

I have been celebrating growing up in small town middle America and reconnecting with friends of my childhood. Memories long forgotten. Friends, once dear, rediscovered. Treasured moments and experiences reawakened. A new page cropped up on Facebook a few days ago, celebrating and remembering the small Midwestern town where I grew up. The [...]
