I think I put my unexpected four day weekend to good use. Finished the final book in Jillian Kent’s Ravensmoore Chronicles, watched Pride & Prejudice for the second time this year. Yes, the best one with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle! Started packing up my house for the big move and…… I even finished something to share with you! Tis’ been a great break!

I could put something scholarly here today but I don’t want to. I would like to introduce myself to those of you joining me on this blogging adventure. Many of you already know me or about me as a teacher or friend but I’m hopeful that there are those reading who don’t but would like to.

My Career

Lets’ skip over the things you already know like I teach pre-k in a large urban school district. I have been there 9.5 years. I have taught both pre-k and kindergarten. I taught in a tribal Head Start – loved it! I completed my undergrad work at Oklahoma Christian University – highly recommend it! Graduate work I did at the University of Central Oklahoma. I am passionate about educating young children! I enjoy ages 4-7 the most. The learning that goes on in those tiny brains during that age span is astounding!

My Family

I have a boxer/great dane mix, he’s my baby. I also have an African Pigmy hedgehog, he’s my class pet. Nocturnal thing has been moved three times to get him far enough away from my bedroom his squeaky wheel doesn’t keep me awake. Then there is Fredrick… I don’t feed Fredrick, I don’t pet Fredrick, I really don’t like Fredrick over much. Fredrick is a chubby brown squirrel who has decided that my front porch is his buffet. Seriously, he eats the wood, paint and all! Matter of fact I thought when I repainted he wouldn’t come back – no such luck.

I am an aunt! An occupation I absolutely adore! Who knew being one was so amazing?! I have two adorable nieces whom I love with all my heart. My two, almost three, year old niece and I love playing together. My five month old niece is starting to join in the fun now that she is sitting up by herself. Life with these two is going to be a fabulous adventure.

Random Facts

I like the color green. I like pretty things. I enjoy reading – regency is the era I’m consumed with currently. I enjoy crafting although I don’t do it much anymore. I very much enjoy creating in general. Whether it is something for my classroom, adding touches on things I have already done so I can share them with you, writing, painting, designing, dreaming, I love letting my mind roam. I like quiet time alone. Peaceful snow covered landscapes and craggily cliff beaches. I sing along to musicals at the top of my lungs and watch those heartwarming Hallmark movies all year long.  Worship re-calibrates my soul and God’s word guides my steps.

Milton & Prescott Trivia

Milton is the name of the moose in our logo. Prescott is the name of the hedgehog on his head. Why you ask? Moose are my favorite animals and hedgehog because I have one and they are unique critters. Very scientific right?
